IS JACK Coming Back

It's time to GET Excited, #Hearties!! Daniel Lissing has joined the cast of When Hope Calls on GAC Family! The network hasn't released the role he will play, but we have to assume he is reprising his role as Mountie Jack Thornton on the Christmas Special two-part series premerie of When Hope Calls on GAC Family and Super Channel Heart & Home in Canada!


I know #Hearties everywhere have questions - how is Jack returning but not to Elizabeth? There are several different possibilities. 1. Flashbacks. Maybe now that Lori Loughlin is joining the cast she will have memories of Jack we will see on screen? 2. Maybe Jack is still alive, but unable to return to Hope Valley for some reason? 3. Is it possible When Calls the Heart - which was supposed to be cancelled last year - will be cancelled at Hallmark? The characters could then move over to When Hope Calls at GAC Family and Elizabeth and Jack could be reunited. Perhaps that's why Elizabeth chose the non-Mountie suitor at the end of last season? 4. There's always the dream sequence possibility. (And let me add for those who are having trouble with the idea of Jack returning at all - YES, it's possible Daniel will play an entirely different character on the show. We'll know for sure on October 11).

Ryan-James (RJ) Hatanaka returns as Mountie Gabriel Winslow. Wendy Crewson will return to star as Tess Stewart. Hanneke Talbot is Maggie Parson. Neil Crone is Ronnie Stewart. Jefferson Brown is Joe Moody.
