A deleted love story featuring Jon Stewart negatively impacted the ending of the film 'The First Wives Club'. The article explores why keeping this storyline would have made the movie stronger.

Although The First Wives Club is meant to celebrate female friendship, a cut love story was unfortunately detrimental to the movie's plot. In one of Diane Keaton's best roles, Annie MacDuggan, who has been a pushover throughout the movie, finds the strength to reject her ex-husband, while Bette Midler's character, the sardonic Brenda Morelli-Cushman, has the grace to forgive her ex in one of Midler's best movies.

Goldie Hawn's character, the actress Elise Eliot, is focused on her career, until a new younger lover is mentioned in one line at the end. The younger lover was supposed to be played by Jon Stewart, who actually filmed several scenes that had to be cut for time (via Vogue). The First Wives Club would have ended on a much stronger note if Elise's love interest had been kept in the movie. Elise, Brenda, and Annie have so much momentum in every other aspect of their lives, it would have been satisfying to see Elise find a fresh start with a new man. The First Wives Club is about Elise, Brenda, and Annie owning the present and looking to the future, but when it comes to romance, they tend to look back. It would have been deeply satisfying to see any of the women start a brand-new romance free from baggage. The First Wives Club would have been stronger if Elise's love interest had been shown on screen instead of being mentioned in one passing line. Elise's arc is focused on her career instead of romance, as she pivots to theater where her talent matters more than her looks
