  2. The wait is almost over! I'm so excited!! I'm looking forward to seeing where all of the characters' journeys take them this season, and I can't wait to see who Paul Greene and Niall Matter are playing. I love that they joined the cast this season!

    1. I feel exactly the same way, Amy! I love the WCTH series, too, and I'm most excited to see it return!!! I can't help from wondering who Paul Greene & Niall Matter will portray? Good guys or bad guys???

      According to IMDB, Niall Matter is in only one episode, so that's interesting, too - if that is correct. I was hoping for more!!!

      In any case... I simply love that they've joined the cast, too, Amy! So fun!!! :)

  3. Do you know if Hallmark will be re-airing the Christmas episode? My DVR didn't tape it!!!

    1. I just double-checked for you, Kim, and unfortunately, it doesn't look as if Hallmark will be repeating the Christmas Movie/Episode of "When Calls the Heart." So sorry to hear your DVR didn't record it.

      There are, however, other ways you can see it!

      You can watch it any time through Amazon video! Here's the link:
      http://amzn.to/2l4EAEM
      (the price is very low!)

      Also, the DVD of the "When Calls the Heart Christmas" movie which is titled When Calls the Heart: The Heart of Faith, will be released March 21, 2017. I know that is after Season 4 airs, but the last time I looked, the price was incredibly low, so you may still want to check into that as an option. Here's the link:
      http://amzn.to/2l9guos

      Oh, I sure hope one of these works for you! It was such a beautiful episode, filled with the wonder & spirit of Christmas... hope you can see it soon!

    2. Thank you for checking on this for me! I so appreciate your site. I have a 13-year-old daughter and our "thing" is watching Hallmark movies together. I'm always able to see what is coming up so we don't miss them.

    3. My DVR didn't record it either. I was so upset! I just watched it on YouTube it was so sweet.

  4. I love Daniel Lissing and would really like to watch this particularly since Paul Greene and Niall Matter are joining the cast but I really couldn't go through another debacle of how they finished Cedar Cove so don't watch any of these series.

    I understand that all shows will run their course and have to fnish sometime but I can accept this as long as they treat the viewers with respect and at least give us an ending.

    Net - I wouldn't worry yet about Niall Matter only appearing in 1 episode - sometimes IMDB only update the actor's schedule as each episode airs.

    I doubt Hallmark would have publicised his appearance so much if he was only going to appear in the one episode - here's hoping anyway.

    1. You really should watch the show...you are missing out on a truly fantastic series. I understand your disappointment over CC, but hoestly, this show's cast and crew...and yes, even the network, have gone out of their way to be respectful to fans. They will never abandon this show without a proper ending...I would guarantee it. This show has built an entrenches fan base that has helped other series on the network too. They know the backlash they would receive if they ever dropped the show without a conclusion and some fair warning. Watch it...you won't regret it!

      The TV business is the TV business, and viewers are at its mercy and whims. No fan base of any show is guaranteed to get the ending that it wants. All they can do is hope.

      If a show gets cancelled unexpectedly -- after its season has ended -- then proper closure is not likely. That's why Cedar Cove did not have any closure -- no one knew that the show was going to get cancelled until after Season 3 was over.

      By the time CC was cancelled -- which was likely due to a drop in ratings or behind the scenes contract issues -- the actors were no longer under contract and the Hallmark execs who wanted to cancel it were not going to spend time and money to make a 2-hour movie to wrap things up for a show they wanted to end. They wanted to end it, and unfortunately it ended after the season was over. If it had been cancelled in the middle of when Season 3 was being filmed, then the writers could have adjusted the script and written in some closure.

      But that didn't happen, and that's just the way it works sometimes. We all have to deal with losing shows at some point, and sometimes we will lose them unexpectedly, without closure.

      In the case of When Calls the Heart, that series is not dealing with declining ratings thus far. It is a hit show for Hallmark, and there is no question that the passionate fans are hanging in with the show until the bitter end.

      If and when WCTH ever gets cancelled, or if a decision is reached to end the show after X number of seasons (which sometimes happens with TV shows), I'm sure the fans' devotion will be taken into consideration, and the final scripts will be written so that there is some closure. The show would still end, but at least the loose ends would be tied up.

    3. Watching any television series, unfortunately, is risky... especially a drama series where the storylines are often on-going.

      I recall watching a mystery drama series called "Reunion" that starred Sean Faris (Christmas with Holly), Chyler Leigh (Window Wonderland), Will Estes (Blue Bloods), Gregory Harrison (Signed, Sealed, Delivered), and many more well known actors!

      Anyway, the show was a suspenseful tale each episode - that was ultimately supposed to lead to a revealing finale of who-dun-it! Unfortunately, the series was cancelled mid-stream and the mystery remain unsolved. It was quite disappointing then and, frankly, remains so today.

      So..... I fully understand your hesitation, Anonymous, but I do think Hallmark loves this series dearly, and if at all possible, I'm sure they will do their utmost best to end the "When Calls the Heart" series in a way that pleases their enormous fan base!

      Just my two cents, but I agree with Anonymous #2 above... "When Calls the Heart" is such a beautiful show, and if you don't watch, you'll truly be missing out.

      WCTH is definitely a series, in my opinion, that is worth the risk!

      Blessings to You!!! Net

  5. I love When Calls the Heart TV show I have other shows I like to watch but that is my all-time favorite. is my favorite TV show all of it and the Hallmark to channels the Hallmark channel hallmark movie and Mystery Channel so if had to have one or two channels those channels would be it also like to watch me TV that shows old shows but if I had to choose it would be the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark and Mystery Channel I like to watch them over and over and over and over.

  6. Based on the synopsis that is posted for Episode 6, I have a feeling that the "friend" might be Jack's brother, Tom Thornton. Out of all of the people in Jack's life that we the fans know of, Tom would be someone that would cause Jack to make "difficult life choices" if something happened to Tom.

  7. Why are all the women's roots showing? They need a new hairstylist. Every woman on the cast needs to have their roots touched up. It makes it look so un-authentic. I just don't get it. It bugs me that their dark roots are showing.back in those days they didn't have colorist to dye hair. It makes it so unbelievable. All the women need to get their roots done before they film.

  8. I just absolutely love this show. I started on season 3, so I have been watching season 1 and 2 just to fill in the details, and I just cant stop watching this show. It is one of the best shows on TV right now :)

  10. Net, our family loves When Calls the Heart every Sunday night. They wanted me to ask you - do you think there will be more seasons? If so, will everyone in the cast return? Do you think Jack will come back before the finale?

    1. So good to hear, Abby! All of my family loves it, too! Not sure if Jack will return before the finale. I'm hoping, but I don't know. As for another season, I'm hopeful for that, too, plus Erin Krakow will be on Home & Family again Monday -- perhaps, to make an Announcement!!! :)

  11. I was so heartbroken with the final episode of season 4 of When Calls the Heart expecting to see Mountie Jack comes back but didn't. I hope that his character won't be written off. And now that Paul Greene's character saved Cody, will he be a regular on that show?

    1. Excellent questions! I only wish I knew! I would love to see both Daniel Lissing (Jack) and Paul Greene (Carson) return next season, but we'll have to wait and see! Let's hope together!!! :)
