( image via: Great American Media ) 

I've been asked many times if there is a way to watch Season 2 of "When Hope Calls" before Season 3 begins, so in case you haven't seen my response, I thought I would share the answer here.

Unfortunately, Season 2 of "When Hope Calls" will not air on Great American Family before Season 3 airs, but there are other options... keep reading!

How to see "When Hope Calls" season 2:

1.) *The best and easiest option is to stream through Great American Pure Flix. You can see details directly on their website or through Amazon. (Both are paid subscriptions.)

The popular streaming source, known for it's faith based films and series, is currently offering a wonderful discount of $2.99 per month for 2 months. That is an awesome low price, and in addition to seeing Season 2, you'll get to watch each episode of Season 3 early - in April and May!

2.) *Another great option for watching season 2 is through Great American Faith & Living! This channel will have a marathon of the Season 2 episodes encoring on Easter Sunday from 6am EST to 8pm EST. (The new episode for season 3 airs at 8pm EST.)

I personally have the Great American Faith & Living channel through my FrndlyTV streaming, which is very easy to record on. Great American Faith & Living is also available through Sling, DISH, and other providers. To see where it is offered in your area, click here.


I hope this will help many of you to be able to see this wonderful, heartwarming series!

Blessings,

Great American Family Welcomes New Star to "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" - Has Mountie Jim Met His Match?

( image via: Great American Media / Trevor Donovan 
 click here to enlarge image ) 

Have you heard the news?!?! Great American Family officially welcomes the lovely actress Jillian Murray to the cast of "When Hope Calls: Brookfield"! And I think most fans already know who’s riding back into Season 3! None other than Mountie Jim Reynolds himself - played by Trevor Donovan!

These two have been busy bees! Fresh off wrapping their roles in "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" in Canada, Jillian and Trevor took a road trip together to New York, and are currently filming their brand-new Christmas movie, "Chasing Christmas"! 🎄✨

And the best part? We’ll be able to catch BOTH "When Hope Calls: Brookfield" and "Chasing Christmas" on Great American Family!

( image via: Jillian Murray ) 

Jillian was first spotted on the "When Hope Calls" set when she posted the above pic and some of the lovely scenery of Brookfield on her Instagram account back on October 20th.

( image via: Trevor Donovan ) 

Trevor Donovan also posted the picture above to Facebook with this caption, "Welcome Jillian Murray to the When Hope Calls family. She is about to stir the pot in Brookfield, and word is she might need a little saving too, which works out pretty well for a guy whose job is basically professional helper in a cool uniform. Season 3, 2026, buckle up."

It looks like not only will Jillian Murray be wearing feathers... but she'll also be ruffling them up a bit!

( image via: Trevor Donovan )

Donofans (fans of Trevor Donovan) were treated to a wonderful day on the set of "Chasing Christmas" and were able to be extras in the film! Trevor Donovan shared the picture above - while dressed like a very handsome Christmas elf!

Congrats to these DonoFans! We will be sure to look for your beautiful smiling faces in the movie! I'm sure it was a hard job, but someone had to do it. Am I right!?!? (Ha ha ha!)

"Chasing Christmas" is currently set to premiere on GAF on Sunday, December 21, 2025.

"When Hope Calls: Brookfield" will air sometime in 2026!

Stay tuned…

As I mentioned above, I am truly thrilled to finally officially share this news. My family and I so enjoy this series, and I can't wait to see what happens after that season 2 cliffhanger.

Unfortunately, there wasn't any mention of Jesse Hutch in the press release, but I’m holding out hope that he’ll also be part of the new season. I’d also love to see Neil Crone, Jefferson Brown, and many of the wonderful children return, along with all of the familiar faces that make Brookfield feel like home.

“When Hope Calls: Brookfield” truly is such a warm and welcoming show, and I’m so thankful we’ll have more heartfelt stories to enjoy together in 2026!

Be sure to send your reviews to Great American Family, but I would also love to hear from you. Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

I'm currently on watch for any news on a potential season 3. After that season 2 cliffhanger (not going to spoil the ending for anyone who hasn't seen it, yet), I'm thinking it's gotta be a sure thing. Right? I mean... they can't leave us there. Can they?

Anyway, here is my review of season 2, and I'd absolutely love to know your take on it, too!


------------------------------

My Review sent to Great American Family:

What a truly wonderful and exciting season 2 finale episode and a beautiful season of "When Hope Calls" overall! It was such a joy to see beloved characters return from season one while slowly being introduced to new ones who quickly found a place in our hearts.

What a joy to meet Nora Anderson, Mountie Michael Fletcher, Delores, Hannah Lawrence, Wyatt Parker, Maggie's parents, Mountie Jim Reynolds, and the children... Ruby, Charlotte, Annie, Art, Steve, and Wally. Even Jerry Huntsman was a thrilling new addition!

Thank you, Great American Family, for bringing this inspiring series back to life. I’m so grateful for the uplifting stories, the sweet orphan children, the meaningful touches of faith (would love to see even more!), the tender, gentle love stories—and really, just everything about it!

Each time I watch "When Hope Calls," I'm filled with a deep sense of peace and calmness. My family and I have rewatched every episode more times than we can count, and we're truly hoping for a third season.

God bless everyone at Great American Family for the amazing work you do!

🎂 My "When Hope Calls" Birthday Celebration... Plus, The Season 2 Finale Preview!

As season 2 of "When Hope Calls," with all of its incredible heartwarming stories, lighthearted humor, and heroic missions, draws to an end this coming Sunday, I wanted to be sure to share with you all some pictures from my "When Hope Calls"-themed birthday party in April and the newest preview of the finale, which will also include a special celebration!

I called my birthday theme "When Hope Springs" to incorporate the show and this beautiful season of renewal and fresh beginnings! The series "When Hope Calls" draws inspiration from the works of one of my favorite authors, Janette Oke, and the title When Hope Springs New is actually among her many delightful books.

My momma, sister, and I had a wonderful time making and decorating the cake and cupcakes you see in the pictures here. It's always enjoyable for us to create birthday and holiday celebrations together. They are both amazingly creative! I was also blessed to have many family members attend my birthday party. Just being together is the greatest joy!

My sweet sister cross-stitched the Happy Birthday, When Hope Springs, and the little house seen on top of the cake. She has such an incredible talent for creating things and designing. I'm always amazed by her!

I just loved the look of the Teacup Cupcake Wrappers. You can find them on Amazon - click here for details!

I was also gifted this lovely book (pictured above): The Wordsearch Book: Hope with Quotes & Scriptures. With the title of the book being Hope, it was such a fitting present, complementing my "When Hope Calls" party theme perfectly. This uplifting book directs hearts to Jesus and instills a sense (as the title suggests) of hope! The Wordsearch Book is available at Amazon - see here.

On top of the Hope book, you can see in the picture above a delicate gold-chain bracelet. Engraved on this bracelet is the word, Sister. This was a special gift from my dear sister, since the origin of the "When Hope Calls" series was, of course, initially about two sisters. The bracelet is also available via Amazon, see here.

In the picture, you might also see the season 12 DVD of "When Calls the Heart," and a "When Calls the Heart" board game! (So fun!) Both are avilable at the Edify online store.

I hope you all enjoyed this little taste of my birthday celebration! Thank you, once again, to all of you dear friends who wrote such sweet messages on my birthday in April... your friendship is such a gift!

As I mentioned above, the preview of the "When Hope Calls" finale teases that the town will have a special celebration.

Streaming Changes...

There's been a lot of talk recently about streaming.

Hallmark movie content left Peacock on May 1st.

And now, friendly TV subscribers, have you heard the latest news? (Faithful It's a Wonderful Movie follower Jim just alerted me to this.)

Streamable shared, "Roku, the largest streaming provider in North America, announced that it had acquired the family-friendly streaming service Frndly TV."

See details here:
https://thestreamable.com/roku-acquires-streaming-service-frndly-tv

Let's hope there won't be any drastic changes, for those of us who subscribe to frndly TV. It is already a great service at such an excellent price.

On My Watch List...

This weekend, I'm looking forward to watching all three of the new programs!

I'm most excited to see the 5th episode of "When Hope Calls"! (Hoping to watch tonight on Pure Flix!) This season has been truly wonderful. Each episode is so beautiful; my only wish... is that each episode and this season could be longer.

And Hats Off To Love looks fun. Ginna Claire Mason is such a joy to watch! I just wish they could've filmed this movie in Kentucky at Churchill Downs, since that is the setting for the story.

I couldn't get into the first Love Club Moms movie, but I've always liked Rebecca Dalton and Corey Sevier, so I'm hoping this one is better, even though some of the reviews on Amazon are mixed.

Please note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies listed above. If you'd like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.

I hope you all have a lovely first weekend in May... filled with lots of sunshine and pleasant weather!

Blessings to you all,

SHINING HIS LIGHT:

And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 

fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.

Hebrews 12:1-3 NIV

Happy National Day of Prayer!

Blessings to you all on this National Day of Prayer!

As we mark this special day, let's come together in harmony to pray for our nation and those who lead it.

Today, we unite our hearts nationwide, offering prayers for restoration and revival.

By humbling ourselves before the Lord, we have faith that He hears us and responds with love and grace.

Prayer transcends a simple moment; it’s a call for God to engage and intervene in extraordinary ways.

My prayer...

Dear Lord, Jesus... I pray that you will restore and heal our land.

Help us come together in seeking You first and foremost.

I lift up my dear family, friends, and those who lead over us, and I pray for a hopeful, bright future.

May peace fill our hearts and extend throughout our nation and around the world.

I pray many will discover the true joy and serenity in knowing and trusting in You, Lord.

Thank you, Jesus, the Lamb of God, for taking away our sins and for your sacrifice that offers us redemption.

You are the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.

Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

In Jesus' mighty name,

Amen.

If you have a prayer request, please share in the comments below. My family and I have been praying about a challenging situation, and we recently witnessed the Lord's powerful intervention, knowing without a doubt, that His grace guided us through. And I pray the same for you.

The images above are from "When Hope Calls" Season 2, Episode 3. At the end of the day, the orphan children knelt in prayer, giving thanks to the Lord for their home and safety. This beautiful scene touched my heart deeply. May we all be thankful for the blessings we have and trust in Him, especially when we face life's many challenges.

God bless you all...

on this National Day of Prayer,

Net

“If my people, who are called by my name, 

will humble themselves and pray... 

I will hear from heaven and will heal their land.”

– 2 Chronicles 7:14

I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I decided to wait a little longer before sharing this weekend's update, hoping that Hallmark would unveil a poster for the premiere of the new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie. As I submit this, however, the network has not released any promotional videos, photos, or poster (key art) for this new premiere. The image above is from Good TV; I made a slight edit to include the movie title. Anyway, I still hope many of you POstables will enjoy this new movie in the series.

Once again, the new episode of "When Hope Calls" is fantastic! It was great to see Jesse Hutch join the series. Hopefully, many of you will enjoy seeing it Sunday night on Great American Family.

Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies. If you'd like to share a review, please do so in comments below!

Happy movie-watching!

Blessings to you all,
