US Weekly recently caught up with When Calls The Heart (WCTH) stars, Erin Krakow (Elizabeth Thatcher) and Kevin McGary (Nathan Grant). During the interview, the host asked the two about the possibility of actress Lori Loughlin returning to the show, and how her character, Abigail Stanton, could re-enter storylines.
The actress exited WCTH halfway through Season 6, and was written out because of the 2019 college admissions scandal she and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were a part of.
When Calls The Heart – Kevin McGary Reflects On A Fond Lori Loughlin Memory
Both WCTH stars note they’d love to see Lori back on the show. The US Weekly interviewer, Christina Garibaldi asked McGary and Krakow if they’d like to see Loughlin return, and Erin replied, “1000%”, while Kevin stated, “Oh, yeah!”
McGary talks about the “chemistry reading” he initially had to do on the show during his audition.
The chemistry reading had been delayed between him and Erin at the studio, and the producers told him they were sending someone else.
When Kevin got to the lobby, he recalls walking in and seeing “Aunt Becky”, who said, ‘Hey, I’m taking you …’, and McGary noted jokingly that he wondered if he was dreaming.
He adds that Lori was always supportive of him getting on the show and during their time together on WCTH.
“WCTH” – A Lot Of People Would Like To Have Lori Back
McGary notes during the interview that “a lot of people” would like to have Lori back on WCTH. He reminds everyone during the interview that it’s not his decision; however, it sounds like if it was, Loughlin would be returning.
Erin chimes in on this by saying, “She’s an incredible person and a very dear friend. She’s got a real good heart; people don’t even know how special of a person she is. It would be wonderful to have her back at Hope Valley.”
Many fans agree with this sentiment, but will Lori Loughlin bring Abigail Stanton back to WCTH? Only time will tell!
