Hallmark Channel News – Lori Loughlin Returns To Abigail Stanton Role

Hearties who have been waiting to see Lori Loughlin return as Abigail Stanton, and who have long waited for a When Hope Calls Season 2, are getting both. Lori Loughlin is back! However, it will not be on her former network. This project is on GAC Family, the new network started by former Hallmark CEO, Bill Abbott.

On Tuesday, Deadline reported that Loughlin will return to her role as Abigail Stanton, however, it will be on the new network. GAC officially launched on Monday, September 27. They have already brought back former Home & Family co-hosts Cameron Mathison and Debbie Matenopoulos to host Welcome To Great American Christmas, which will premiere on October 24.

Nearly buried in the headline that Lori Loughlin is back on television, is the news that When Hope Calls is coming back for Season 2. They will begin with a two-part Season 2 premiere. This is called When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas. This should premiere on December 18.

We may assume that part one is on the 18th, and part 2 will be on December 25. Traditionally, Hallmark has aired the When Calls The Heart Christmas special on Christmas Day. They did not last year, and it does not appear that they will do it this year. This could mean that Hearties can still keep on their tradition, however on a different network.

Besides Lori Loughlin, who is back on When Hope Calls? According to the publication, Morgan Kohan is back as Lillian Walsh. In addition, other cast members will return, but only RJ Hatanaka has been listed as a possibility. They are just starting to film now, so it will not be much longer to get more details.

Just recently, Lori Loughlin obtained permission from a Boston judge to go to Canada to work for a week. Although a Christmas movie traditionally takes about 3 weeks to film, Loughlin may have been limited in her time away from the states.

However, when she was on When Calls The Heart, she often would film most of her scenes in a shorter period of time. Apparently, this was an arrangement she had with Hallmark. This way, she was not gone so long and could be with her family, which includes her younger daughter, Olivia Jade, who is currently competing on Dancing With The Stars.

Will you be watching When Hope Calls Season 2 on GAC? Are you excited for Lori Loughlin to return as Abigail Stanton?
