There Was a Lot of (Potential) Love

Other than Ron (Frankie Faison) and Patricia, the romantic relationships were in their beginning stages on The Village. Sarah and Ethan’s (Austin Nichols) first date was cut short when she needed to get to the hospital to Katie, but he brought her food and they were on track at least for a second date at the end of the finale.

Katie and Liam (Ben Ahlers) were just getting started and had to see if they could navigate a relationship while she raised Cooper. Enzo (Dominic Chianese) and Gwendolina (Mary Beth Peil) got engaged, but they did just meet.

Still, it was sweet to watch these couples fall in love (or perhaps realize they weren’t right for each other).

Then there was Sarah and Nick (Warren Christie). They had such a complicated history, and while things might not have worked out when they gave it another try, they were still part of each other’s lives. Would they get another chance? Viewers deserved to find out.
