Filming dates: August 26th to December 16th.
Cast: Erin Krakow, Jack Wagner, Pascale Hutton, Kavan Smith, Kevin McGarry, Chris McNally, Andrea Brooks.
When Calls the Heart is the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow), a shipping magnate’s daughter accustomed to 19th century high society life, who goes to teach in the small coal mining town of Hope Valley, where a mining explosion has left many widows.
Elizabeth’s wealthy father ensures that RCMP Constable Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing) is assigned to Hope Valley to protect his daughter. As Elizabeth adapts to the frontier lifestyle, she warms up to Jack and their long romance culminated in a wedding. But her happiness was cut short in the season 5 finale when Jack died, leaving Elizabeth a widow with a baby on the way.
In season 6 we met baby Jack and two new men in town — Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry) and charming gambler and saloon owner Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally).
Where we left it:
Baby Jack is christened.
And Elizabeth can’t choose between her new suitors Nathan and Lucas.
At a Ladies Choice dance, Elizabeth asks Lucas to dance with her and smiles until she sees Nathan leaving. Then her smile fades as she stares at the empty doorway.

Off-screen When Calls the Heart had more drama than on screen when the series was caught up in the massive college admissions scandal in March after Lori Loughlin and her husband were indicted for allegedly paying $500,000 in bribes. What for? In “exchange for having their two daughters designated as recruits to the [University of Southern California] crew team” even though neither of them rowed.

Hallmark cut its ties with Loughlin and stopped airing season 6 until Loughlin could be edited out of the already-shot season.
When season 6 resumed airing, Abigail Stanton had left Hope Valley to return back east to look after her ailing mother, taking her adopted son Conner with her.
