“It would be one thing if he was manipulative, or rude, or insensitive to Allie’s cold feet. But Lon’s only crime was that he was too perfect, and too understanding. Lon Hammond Jr. did nothing wrong”

But the announcement opened up a wound I have let fester for much longer than I would like to admit, and reminded me of a problem I’ve had with the story from day one: that Lon Hammond Jr., The Notebook’s interim love interest, deserved better. I challenge Michaelson, Brunstetter, and everyone else involved in the production to remedy this situation for me, my colleagues , and James Marsden fans everywhere: Clear Lon Hammond Jr.’s good name! Give him an anguished solo song when he lets Allie go.
We are conditioned to root for Allie and Noah from the outset, even if Noah coerces her into dating him by threatening his own life on a ferris wheel, negs her incessantly on their first date, and spends a good portion of his adult life restoring a literal plantation. They also fight — a lot! That seems unhealthy to me but we are told that all of this is okay, and romantic, even. Theirs is the big, sweeping, dramatic love story.
Despite the fact that Lon was nice and neutral and a generally Good Guy, James Marsden himself has even been the target of some pretty fixated vitriol for the mere crime of playing a guy with terrible timing. In 2015, he told Vulture that both members of Team Lon and Team Noah come up to him with varying levels of adoration or loathing: “They’re just disgusted by me. Like, ‘How dare you get involved with their love? You are the asshole in that movie.
