When Calls The Heart Season 12 – Could Jack Thorton Return?

Hearties have been buzzing about a possible Jack Thorton return, since the Hallmark drama aired its finale on Sunday, June 23. Could he still be alive?

Jack collided to his apparent death in WCTH’s Season 5 during a landslide. His body was said to be found, but could there have been a mistake?

Lindsay Sturman, WCTH’s showrunner recently spoke with TV Guide. During the interview, she notes that “Jack is not coming back.” She adds that, the series does want to keep his memory alive.

Sturman notes, “From the beginning of the show, it was a story about widows and for Little Jack, as he’s hitting these milestones growing up, how does Elizabeth keep Jack alive for Little Jack and hold his memory and the complexity of that when she’s in a new relationship?”

Sturman also states, “It was a way to complicate [Elizabeth and Nathan’s] new situation, which ends on a sweet note and then, oh no, there’s this new complexity. It can’t always be simple.”

      Maybe the rock slide wasn’t an accident but done on purpose to injure or kill the Mounties. So Jack’s death was murder.

      You spelled Thornton wrong. In my opinion this showrunner must be a Nathan/Elizabeth fan.
