Lori Loughlin Returns to When Calls the Heart

0:00On March 23rd, fans of when calls the heart got a big surprise in the season 13 finale. Laurie Lockling returned as Abigail Stanton, pulling up to Hope Valley in a car right at the end. This early tease comes ahead of her full comeback in season 14. Abigail was one of the original characters when the show started back in 2014. She's Elizabeth's close friend and a widow who left town in March 2019 to care for her sick mother back east. Her sudden arrival wraps up the episode nicely after some key romantic moments. Aaron Crackow, who plays Elizabeth, couldn't hide her joy about working with Lockling again. She called it a real gift, praising her friends' kind heart. Hardies, as the fans call themselves, lit up with excitement over the unexpected cameo. Lockling herself has been buzzing about rejoining the cast. She shared her through at recent Hallmark events, including one in Kansas City last December, and another in March, celebrating the show. Prequel, season 14 starts filming later this year with Lockling in at least six of the 12 episodes.
