***********************
“To me, the legacy of When Calls the Heart is the Hearties [the show’s devoted fan ‘club’], the most important legacy long after the show ends,” Bird says. “The Hearties will still be there as friends in the community. So many new friends have been made through this and they love each other. It’s like there’s sort of a form of church that’s happening, sense of community, people caring about another and praying for one another.”
—Brian Bird, Creator and Executive Producer

    Hello

    My mother is obsessed with this programme. Are there any DVDS available to view in the UK ?

    Also anyway my mum can watch season 7 ?

    From an exasperated daughter

    I am so disappointed with the last episode of season 8 When Calls The Heart. It’s not that I don’t like Lucas, it’s because I think Nathan is more of a family man. Saloon owner and teacher don’t mix. Please tell me that Elizabeth is going to wake up in season 9 realizing she made a mistake by choosing Lucas.
    I was devastated when Jack was killed off and continued to watch the show and now this….not sure how much longer I’ll be watching. Sad face.

  • Peggy Hodge

    I am highly disappointed in the last season of when calls the heart. I have watched every episode every season and you have gone way off course in this last one. I along with everyone I know is tired of the seesaw back-and-forth between the two men and she cannot make up her mind the whole story has gone way off kilter I will watch the last one just because I have watched all of them but I doubt if I will watch anymore

  • Rosemary Kuemper

    I live for Sunday nights when I get to see “When Calls the Heart”. I can’t believe that the last show of the season is Sunday!

    • Lori Pearson

      Unfortunately Season 8 is not currently available in the UK. You might want to check with the provider that usually carries When Calls the Heart there to ask them when they will have it available. Hope you get to see it soon!
