'When Calls the Heart' Season 6 and 7: Release date, plot, cast and everything else about the heartwarming drama
Following actress Lori Loughlin's indictment in an elite college admissions cheating scandal, Hallmark Channel pulled 'When Calls the Heart' from their schedule in mid-March, upsetting fans everywhere — only three episodes of the sixth season had aired when the channel decided to pause the show. This was necessary to incorporate "creative solutions" to revamp the remaining installments of the 10-episode series.
The wait is over as it was revealed that season 6 will resume on May 5 and May 6 telecasting back-to-back remaining episodes. These episodes have been edited to exclude Loughlin's character of Abigail Stanton, the mayor of Hope Valley.
The show's executive producer Brian Bird also took to Twitter to deliver the news to fans.
