Hallmark Channel News: Should WCTH Film Additional Episodes? Many More Stories To Tell

‘When Calls the Heart’ seventh season will bring changes to Hope Valley, and there doesn’t seem to be enough time to reveal all the stories that need to be told. Should the Hallmark Channel expand the number of episodes filmed each season?

The Hallmark Channel, in the past, has filmed 10 episodes and a Christmas special of the network’s number one series. Elizabeth Thornton (Erin Krakow) and Abigail Stanton (Lori Loughlin) have been the focal point of ‘WCTH.’ Hearties have gotten to know Bill Avery (Jack Wagner), Rosemary Coulter (Pascale Hutton), and Lee Coulter (Kavan Smith), as well.

‘When Calls the Heart’ season 7 spoilers have yet to reveal whether or not the role of Abigail has been recast or if she has been written out. The fate of Cody Stanton (Carter Ryan Evancic) is also unknown.

Hearties are eager to know more about Henry Gowen (Martin Cummins). Hearties now know Henry took the blame for the coal mine collapse. Bill Avery found an old telegram that exonerates Henry the former mayor. Why didn’t Henry tell the townspeople he was innocent of any wrongdoing?
