When Calls The Heart Creator Shares Sweet Message About Lori Loughlin

When Calls the Heart spoilers and updates tease that the show’s creator and executive producer, Brian Bird, is happy to see that Lori Loughlin is back on the screen, even if it’s on a different show.

Fans know that Loughlin originated the role of Abigail Stanton on When Calls the Heart back in 2014. She was let go from the show after she got involved in the college admissions scandal.

It’s scheduled to air on GAC Family starting December 18. Viewers are excited to see Loughlin once again and When Calls The Heart boss, Brian Bird feels the same way, too.

Bird, who is also the executive producer of When Calls Hope, posted a sweet message on his Facebook page regarding Loughlin’s return.

He shared a photo of Loughlin as Abigail as she walks into the Telegraph Office in Brookfield. She can be seen wearing a purple coat that looks familiar to When Calls The Heart viewers.

“Taking this photo lifted my heart in so many ways. Offering second chances in this messed up world are just a better way to live,” he said.
