Message from Your Admins

Dear Hearties,

Jack Thornton à la Season 1 told Elizabeth Thatcher that he would do "whatever it takes" to keep her safe. It's a safe bet that his thought bubble was: "I'll do whatever it takes to woo you and win your heart." Mission Accomplished. He's not the only one. Hearties showed up in record numbers and showered When Calls The Heart, the Hallmark Channel and the WCTH Cast and Crew with all the love we could muster to thank them for a stellar Season 2 and express our hopes and wishes for a Season 3. Well the fruit of our labor has a name -- Season 3. That's right, Hearties, Hallmark Channel USA has given the green light to a THREEpeat performance. The scheduling details will be announced at a later date, but for now let's rejoice in a job well done and get ready to sit back and enjoy the next chapter of “When Calls The Heart.” As for the 7 of us, we can't wait to see who gets off that stagecoach next.  

-- Allyson Lapp, Camille Eide, Debi Watson Bailey, Marisa Corser, Susan Michael Cooper, Sheri DiGiovanna and Nikki Getman.
