When Calls the Heart fans will see a different side of Viv Leacock and Natasha Burnett in Legend of the Lost Locket.
The new Hallmark movie, which airs April 13, follows a London-based antiques dealer named Amelia (Burnett) who travels to a small town in Massachusetts in search of the missing half of an antique locket that dates back to the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Once there, she clashes with the local sheriff, Marcus (Leacock), who questions her motives for searching for the missing item. But as the quest for the locket heats up, so do Marcus and Amelia’s feelings for each other.
The romantic mystery gives the actors – who play married couple Joseph and Minnie Canfield on When Calls the Heart – a chance to play off each other in a way that’s “a little different than the standard rom-com,” Leacock said in an interview with Showbiz Cheat Sheet,...

When Calls the Heart Season 10 ended with what can only be described as a tease about Lori Loughlin’s return as Abigail Stanton Now there are questions about whether or not fans would get their wish during Season 11.
In a new interview with TV Insider, Erin Krakow, who headlines the Hallmark hit and serves as an executive producer, admitted that she would love for Loughlin to return as Abigail.
Sadly, it doesn’t sound like a return is in the cards soon, with Krakow being cautious about getting “people’s hopes up too high.”
“Abigail does not currently return in Season 11, and I hope that doesn’t feel like a bait and switch for anyone when they see Gowen go to her door at the end of Season 10,” Krakow affirmed, before teasing how Gowen will navigate the aftermath of that development.
“It is more about Gowen’s journey to self-discovery and self-forgiveness.

What a difference a few years makes.
At one point, it seemed like Lori Loughlin wouldn't ever be on a Hallmark project again after the cabler cut ties with the actress amid the college admissions scandal.
At the time, she was edited out of episodes of When Calls the Heart that were about to air and lost her role in the Garage Sale Mysteries movies, including completed but unaired mysteries.
As you'll recall, Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli both pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges for securing admission to the University of Southern California for their two daughters.
The Full House alum served two months in jail and was ordered to pay a $150,000 fine and complete 150 hours of community service.
Mossimo served five months, paid a $250,000 fine, and was ordered to complete 250 hours of community service.
Following her prison stint, Loughlin has been slowly but surely making an acting comeback, first...

After Loughlin was accused of bribing college officials to get her two daughters admitted to the University of Southern California, her career took a major hit. She lost her role on Hallmark Channel’s When Call the Heart; her Garage Sale Mysteries series for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries was also canceled. Her character was also written off of Netflix’s Full House reboot Fuller House.
But now that she’s served her time, Loughlin has returned to TV. In 2021, she appeared in the When Hope Calls Christmas special on Great American Family. Now, she...

When Hope Calls is lining up an impressive list of guest stars.
Just days after the announcement that Lori Loughlin would be reprising her When Calls the Heart role on the spinoff, we have another intriguing development.
Deadline is reporting that Daniel Lissing has been locked in to appear on the two-part Season 2 premiere of When Hipe Calls, which will double as a Christmas installment of the series.
Lissing appeared as Jack Thornton on the first five seasons of When Calls the Heart, but his character was killed off in a shocking twist.
The likely scenario here is that Lissing will be playing a new character with a striking resemblance to Jack, or Abigail will be seeing ghosts from the past.
Either way, we're intrigued.
We never thought Loughlin would be a part of the When Calls the Heart universe again. She was edited out of When Calls the Heart...

If you had asked me a year ago about whether Lori Loughlin would return to the When Calls the Heart franchise, it would have been a resounding no.
Now, Deadline is reporting that the embattled actress will reprise her Abigail Stanton role on When Hope Calls Season 2, which is moving to a new network.
Gac Family (fka Great American Country Network) is the name of the network.
The forthcoming Season 2 premiere is set for Saturday, December 18, and will double as a Christmas special under the title When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas.
Loughlin was famously scrubbed out of the final episodes of When Calls the Heart Season 6 after her implication in the college admissions scandal.
If you watch When Calls the Heart online, you know Abigail's absence was explained with her leaving town with her adopted son Cody to care for her mother out East.
