Cindy Busby or Christopher Russell? Which NEW "When Hope Calls" Cast Member Auditioned for Season 1?




We are less than a week away from "When Hope Calls" Season 2 premiering on Great American Family (and just days away from the show's streaming premiere on Great American Pure Flix)!

In the last few weeks, Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell have been interviewed by various sources, from the press to podcasts. Most of the interviews have been with just the two of them; however, tonight, Cindy Busby will be hosting, along with Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott, a special Facebook Live Event on the Great American Family Facebook Page that will include several special guests: Christopher Russell, Nick Bateman, Sarah Fisher, and Trevor Donovan.



If you have Facebook, you'll want to log in to watch the "When Hope Calls" Facebook Live interview tonight, Monday, March 31st, at 8 p.m. ET.


Which NEW "When Hope Calls" season 2 cast member auditioned for season 1?

The answer to that question is... Cindy Busby! In a podcast interview with Hearts of Stars, which can be seen below, Cindy revealed that she had initially auditioned for one of the roles in the first season of "When Hope Calls." She mentioned that she was very close to landing the part, but ultimately, it didn't work out at that time.

Now, of course, Cindy Busby is set to take on one of the leading roles in the second season of "When Hope Calls," and she and Christopher Russell have been actively promoting the show to their fans and beyond. They are also warmly inviting the Hearties (devoted viewers of "When Calls the Heart") to tune in and visit their period series, which takes place in the fictional town of Brookfield but has a similar community feel reminiscent of Hope Valley.


I've embedded below several of Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell's latest interviews. I hope you will enjoy them all...

  2. I was so sorry to hear of Brennan Elliott's wife going to be with the Lord. So sad for him and their two kids. My thoughts and prayers go out to them!

    1. Prayer for Grieving Family

      Dear Lord,
      Bring comfort to Brennan Elliott & Children
      While they come to terms
      with the loss of a loved one who was a wife and mother.

      Embrace in your loving arms
      all who are grieving the loss
      of family and loved ones
      through her passing;
      Be there Lord where lives are in turmoil,
      hope turns to despair
      and pain is all that’s felt.

      “For I am convinced that neither death,
      nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,
      nor things present, nor things to come,
      nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
      nor anything else in all creation,
      will be able to separate us from
      the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
      Romans 8:38-39 (NRSV)

      Jesus knows what it's like to lose family (Joseph, His earthly father.)

  3. I had no idea Cindy auditioned for season 1 and could’ve been Lillian or Grace. Wow, that’s hard to imagine that. At this point, I’m glad that didn’t happen. Christie
