When Calls The Heart Star Chris McNally Hints Worrying Future With Elizabeth

Hearties were thrilled when the season 9 finale episode of When Calls the Heart saw Lucas (Chris McNally) proposing to Elizabeth (Erin Krakow). While this was obviously a heartwarming moment, it seems not everything is perfect with Hallmark’s best couple. In fact, McNally has hinted that “things are pulling them apart” when it comes to their storyline in season 10. Read on to find out why.

When Calls the Heart’s Lucas and Elizabeth

It seems there is trouble in paradise as Lucas and Elizabeth’s story continues on season 10 of When Calls the Heart. Chris McNally recently appeared at the Hollywood premiere of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies and was asked about Lucas and Elizabeth’s future in the coming season.

Among the details, the actor revealed were some troubling facts. He said his character, Lucas, is set to hit an obstacle in his relationship with Elizabeth in the coming tenth season. While Hearties were thrilled at the romantic ending to the previous season, not everything is perfect.

McNally spoke to ET, saying, “I don’t want to give anything away but I will say that Lucas has not faced an obstacle this large, this drastic since he joined the show.

Talking of the first part of season 10, McNally said, “Weddings naturally follow engagements … I think people will enjoy the first section of the season,” adding the troubling words:

There’s a lack of romance, not for a lack of trying, but we take an angle that people can register with.

In the interview, McNally didn’t hold back while teasing Lucas and Elizabeth’s troubled future. He said, “Sometimes, life gets busy. And so you get to find these people who are newly engaged and love each other… but there are these other things pulling them apart.”

Positive news for WCTH season 10

While McNally’s words are worrying, there was more positive news from Elizabeth star, Erin Krakow. In fact, she gave fans more positive clues as to what they can expect in season 10.

Erin recently spoke to Variety, where she said how excited she was for season 10 of When Calls the Heart to premiere on July 30. On a truly positive note, the Hallmark actress added:

This season is full of beautiful moments and exciting twists and turns.

Meanwhile, more positive news comes in the form of the popular series being renewed for season 11. Of course, Hearties won’t be so surprised, especially as the finale of season 9 was seen by more than 3.1 million viewers. Meanwhile, Erin was “thrilled, proud and grateful” to hear the good news, adding:

We have so many more stories to tell. With our amazing cast, crew, and brilliant writers, there will be no shortage of romance and new adventures for the residents of Hope Valley!

Now, Hearties just have to wait until July 30 when Hallmark Channel premieres When Calls the Heart season 10.
