Spoilers for When Hope Calls: A brief Rundown
When Hope Calls is a spin-off of the book series When Calls The Heart by Janette Oke, which follows the sisters Lillian Walsh (Kohan) and Grace Bennett (Jocelyn Hudson) in 1916 to the town of Brookfield.
When Hope Calls is set at the town orphanage and follow their journeys and struggles while they create a community filled with both hope and faith in a frontier town that is on the cusp of change, all the while trying to manage the care of young, orphaned children.
The first season of “When Hope Calls” had 10 episodes and then in 2021 there was a 2 hour long Christmas movie where Lori Laughlin reprised her role from When Calls The Heart as Abigail Stanton.
So far, there looks to be eight episodes in season 2, there is some nod in the direction of the romance between “Mountie Gabriel” and “Lillian” in the opening but there are also new characters that are going to be integral to the orphanage, children, the ranch lands, and to the community at large, one of which is “Mountie Michael” (Russel).
One has to wonder what his story will be once he sets foot in Brookfield. Could there possibly be a new romantic interest for this new guy or is he one of those permanent bachelor types? Of course there will be speculation by townsfolk, but what about the fans? What do you think?
