Who shall Joan end up with with?


Should Joan (Jessica Marais) break up a marriage and get with Patrick McNaughton (Jonathon LaPaglia) or play it safe and get back with an old boyfriend boyfriend Phillip (Ryan Johnson)?

I would really like for her to end up by herself. It's a novel concept on tv, I know, but I think she has enough going on, and some tough decisions to make for herself without needing either man to make things worse, definitely not better. She could use a friend though so I hope she finds one soon. Most of the girls are way too young but maybe Shirley?

Ahh Yes, the charming Shirley who is cheating on her husband, while he's fighting for his country in Vietnam. And yet her in-laws are made out to be the baddies!

Actually I would like Joan to end up by herself too. The story and setting of Love Child about social changes like the sexual revolution and forced adoptions from 1969 onwards was just the beginning for women to fight for their rights and keep their babies. As for Joan in episode for 4 she experiences some sexism in her job. I don't think Joan would be looking for love just yet, she's in the period where women start to be taken seriously.

Think she'll end up with Mathew Le Nevez

I really hope they kill that storyline fast. He's never been supportive of anything that doesn't concern him and now he's being a bitch about her not being able to have kids, as if it wasn't harder for her, and he's getting it on with a girl.
