We told you that Lori Loughlin might be home for Christmas. Now we hear that she might get her old job back. To review, the Hallmark Channel quickly cut ties with Lori when she got arrested in March 2019 for her part in the college admissions scandal. Now that she’s serving her time, there’s speculation that she might be able to return to “When Calls the Heart.”
When they got rid of Lori’s character, Abigail, the story was that she’d left Hope Valley to take care of her sick mother. It wasn’t clear if she was gone for good, and they’ve continued to mention her on the show. As if that weren’t enough, Bill and Clara had a subtle moment at Abigail’s Café last season.
Brian Bird, the show’s creator, has been very vocal about Abigail’s potential return. “Some of the fans have asked what will happen to Abigail’s character, and shared their opinion that Hope Valley should be an example of forgiveness and grace. As Lori’s friend, I could not agree more,” he said. We’ll see what happens after Lori gets out of jail next month…
