When Calls The Heart: Erin Krakow Reacts To Lori Loughlin’s Return

When Calls the Heart star, (WCTH)  Erin Krakow stuck by her friend Lori Loughlin after her arrest for her involvement in the College Admissions Scandal. Many fans of Hallmark followed the example of Erin, who plays the role of Elizabeth Thornton in the show. Additonally, they missed the character that Lori played, Abigail Stanton. Well, Lori reprises her role as Abigail, but not in WCTH. Instead, she appears in the two-part premiere called When Hope Calls: A Country Christmas. It airs on CAG Family TV rather than directly on Hallmark.

When Calls the Heart News – Lori Loughlin Starts Filming Again

Fans who hoped that Lori might return in Season 9 of WCTH might be a bit saddened that she appears in the spinoff. However, for many folks, it’s the start of a possible return in another season. News arrived that a judge cleared her travel to continue her career as an actress. With her appearing in When Hope Calls, it might mean some sort of crossover. After all, the show didn’t write her out of the series completely. She merely went off to stay with her ailing mom.

When Calls The Heart fans naturally hoped that her return means that Cody, (Carter Ryan) might also come back. Actually, fans felt angry that he disappeared from the show because of Lori’s criminal actions. Well, the good news came that he also reprises his role in When Hope Calls. The announcement came from him on Instagram. He said, “excited to be part of When Hope Calls “A Country Christmas” 🎄episodes of Season 2. Cody & Abigail return💗 GACFamily @gactv Dec 18th.” Clearly, he seems delighted. But how did Erin react?

    I love WCTH and would love to see the spin off series as well but although they film it in Canada and (my area) I wonder if we will be able to see this now. Anyone know anything about this?
