I cannot imagine why Lori Loughlin's name wouldn't be in the cast list, as she was definitely in this movie. They had already finished "Garage Sale Mysteries: Search and Seized," and they were filming "Garage Sale Mysteries: Three Little Murders" when the news broke. <br /><br /> I did notice Lori Loughlin's name is under the Producer's list for "GSM: Search and Seized." From what was announced, production on "Garage Sale Mystery" was halted and there are no plans to air any further "Garage Sale Mysteries." That is still very interesting and odd that her name is not listed there in the cast list, regardless of everything that took place.Net - "It's a Wonderful Movie"https://www.blogger.com/profile/01680194388277190995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-29700406810046248942019-05-05T02:24:57.389-04:002019-05-05T02:24:57.389-04:00Net...

It was: 'Announced'; but without Lori. Do you know something? <br /><br />I remember that the first one had already finished filming, but when the story broke, there was nothing in the profiles. Could that be a sign that they'll continue with the movies, even without Lori? ~Martinha~https://www.blogger.com/profile/14275597226037274574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-87291092812117447722019-04-10T15:02:44.147-04:002019-04-10T15:02:44.147-04:00Lisa I agree with you about the world & the me...Lisa I agree with you about the world & the media.

I do wish they'd finish playing When Calls The Heart since we want to see the rest of the current series. Due to the strict laws regarding these issues, I wouldn't count on the charges being dropped. But I would not want to miss out on the rest of this years WCTH series, so I hope they will air regardless. We'd like to at least have this much to enjoy. Her character could marry the pastor and leave on their honeymoon if the series needs an ending. Praying for Lori and her family.

Unfortunately, we have entered a time in this country where there is increasing intolerance of speech that may conflict with the approved views of media, entertainment and academic elites. Ironically, these folks ought to consider, "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone." Their holier than thou attitudes are evidence of their hypocrisy. It is truly sad but let us hope for brighter times ahead.

She was executive producer on WCTH and Garage Sale Mysteries and could potentially have had a financial/controlling stake in these programs. <br /><br />My guess is that Hallmark could have a bit of a legal mess trying to fix all this and legal or contract issues led to them refilming WCTH, not showing what they've already filmed etc. They have to realize fans would much rather just finish the season now, but they are somehow prohibited from doing this.<br /><br />I too enjoyed Lori as an actress on both these series and will miss Garage Sale Mysteries, which I was looking forward to this summer. At least WCTH will return.

But putting it in perspective, not nearly so bad as the MeToo perpetrators, child molesters or even our president and his cronies. I know Hallmark feels they have to take a stand, and probably should. But I really feel for her and I will miss my favorite Garage Sale mysteries and some of her other films. I always enjoyed her performances and material selection. I have to say, she was one of those who helped build this network to something really quite significant. I feel bad they dropped her like a hot potato. One thing not to schedule more production till a verdict comes in (and yes, indicted does not mean guilty) but to take the library and finished pieces off seems too over the top for me.

The who...I feel very much the same as you do, Net. The whole situation is sad and difficult-- for so many. Yes, actions do have consequences, some of which remain to be seen. Like you, I hope that somehow, after some time, Lori Loughlin would find forgiveness and redemption. I'm praying for her and her family. As for WCTH, my preference would be that her character gets sent away for a time (maybe to go help Pastor Frank?). This would allow some time to determine if she would be able to return to her role in the future. Abigail's daughter Becky could return to take over the cafe and care for Cody (so he doesn't have to leave too). Or Clara could take over the cafe instead of working in the saloon (which would make Jesse happy)...Just some thoughts--although I realize other episodes with new story lines and characters have already been filmed... Re-tooling the show cannot be easy.Janellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945596937015597963.post-7805657853310702662019-03-22T14:51:59.332-04:002019-03-22T14:51:59.332-04:00That is so true...
