When Calls the Heart also lost the best-loved character Jack Thornton. In fact, his death came after he and Elizabeth, (Erin Krakow) married and it traumatized Hallmark fans. After all, Elizabeth expected their first child at the time. Desperately, fans hoped that somehow he might return. After all, nobody actually saw his body in the show. However, that just never happened. Well, this week, the news that Daniel Lissing appears in the spinoff is probably the best news since Christmas was invented for Hearties.

Hallmark Channel News – When Calls the Heart Fans Will Probably Go Over To CAG

When Hope Calls was never as popular as the original show. However, the news that Daniel Lissing and Lori Loughlin appear in Season 2, probably entices a lot more viewers. Fans already heard spoilers that Lori, as Abigail, encounters a friend from the past. Might that be Jack Thornton? Well, according to Deadline, the show had not announced if Daniel reprises his role as Jack. The outlet mentioned that “Ryan-James (RJ) Hatanaka returns as Mountie Gabriel Winslow. Wendy Crewson will return to star as Tess Stewart.” and “Morgan Kohan is back, reprising her role as Lillian Walsh.”

When Calls the Heart fans can’t imagine Daniel as not being Jack. And, let’s face it, unless the show unearths a twin, he’d be hard to forget in any other role. TV Shows Ace speculated that Daniel Lissing might be the “dear friend from the past” that Abigail meets. However, if Jack remains alive in the spinoff, might that break the hearts of fans all over again?

Imagine That Jack Reappears And Courting Elizabeth Finds Out!

Although When Hope Calls and When Calls the Heart now air on different channels, crossovers have been known to happen. Imagine if Elizabeth somehow hears that Jack’s alive, just when she and Lucas Bouchard, (Chris McNally) finally commit to each other! That scenario hardly bears thinking about.
