Hallmark Channel Spoilers – Lori Loughlin In When Hope Calls

The news broke in late September that Lori Loughlin was reprising her role as Abigail Stanton. The story came around two years after the Hallmark Channel cut ties with her over her involvement in the college admissions scandal.

On hearing the news, many Hearties assumed that Abigail would be returning to When Calls the Heart. However, this is far from the case, as she is actually reprising her role on the spinoff, When Hope Calls, which is coming back for its second season on a new network, GAC Family. That spinoff debuted in 2019 on Hallmark’s streaming service and is set in Hope Valley’s neighboring town of Brookfield.

Hallmark Channel Spoilers – Speaks Up

In response to the misconception that Loughlin was heading back to When Calls the Heart, the channel made a statement, quoted by Good Housekeeping: “Hallmark Channel has not cast Lori Loughlin in any current projects, including When Calls the Heart, nor do we have any plans to cast her in the future. She was cast by GAC Family, a wholly separate cable network not affiliated with Hallmark Channel or Crown Media Family Networks.”

Despite this, obviously Lori’s fans can still see her on the upcoming second season of When Hope Calls.
