Life throws all of us painful curveballs, and the only way to survive is to walk right through them with courage, grace, a forgiving spirit, and most of all, hope.
Many of you have wondered what the future holds for our cast and crew, and for the citizens of Hope Valley. Your care and concern means the world to us, and the best way we can thank you is to encourage you the way you encourage us because… Hope always lives here. #WhenCallsTheHeart #WCTH #Hearties
When Calls the Heart has captured hearts everywhere with its kind messaging and love stories.
That one of its stars found themselves embroiled in a worldwide bribery scandal sent shockwaves through the community and worry over what would come of the show and how it would deal with the firing of Loughlin, one of the stars.
While there isn't word on whether Loughlin's character, Abigail Stanton, will be recast or written out of the show, the upcoming episodes will not feature the actress nor the character.
The video released today and hosted by series lead, Erin Krakow, offers a sneak peek at the upcoming episodes as well as a preview of this weekend's Hallmark Channel Original movie, Bottled with Love, starring TV Fanatic favorite Bethany Joy Lenz and former WCTH guest star, Andrew Walker.
