Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow)’s love triangle with Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry) and charming gambler and saloon owner Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally) was the heart of season 7, but it is moving slowly and may slow down even further in the new season with new public health social distancing measures for the cast.

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) — who become Elizabeth’s suitors.

When Calls the Heart return to the Hallmark Channel with season 8 in 2021.
