While Wallace and McGarry’s off-screen romance is going strong, on When Calls the Heart, their characters are strictly friends. And it doesn’t sound as if that’s likely to change anytime soon. In season 9, Nathan was drawn to the new-in-town Mei Sou (Amanda Wong), while Fiona and Hickam seem to have some romantic tension of their own. While some Hearties might sense a vibe between Nathan and Fiona, Wallace has said that’s mostly wishful thinking. 

“I think people might have been imagining things because of their own imagination,” Wallace told TV Fanatic earlier this year. “Fiona and Nathan are great friends, and we’ve had some fun scenes over the years together.”
