What to expect from the new episodes
When Calls the Heart Season 9’s premiere is titled “In Like a Lion.” In the episode, Elizabeth returns to Hope Valley after having spent some time visiting her family in Hamilton. She reunites with Lucas and the two embark on their courtship, as McNally explained in a behind-the-scenes video for Hallmark Channel. Meanwhile, Lucas discusses the oil business with an investor from out of town and everyone prepares for the upcoming mayoral election and the construction of the new foundry.
In episode 2, titled “Out Like a Lamb,” Hope Valley’s citizens cast their ballots for mayor, and the race is so close that a recount is required. Elizabeth and Lucas also work to find the “little moments” in their relationship, and Nathan is involved in a hit-and-run that leads to newcomer Mei Suo (Amanda Wong) connecting with his horse Newton.
As for what’s in store for the rest of the season, Hearties will just have to wait and see. But fans can expect excitement – and plenty of romance – when the show returns, as well as new characters and storylines.
“Love is in the air,” Pascale Hutton, who plays Rosemary Coulter, told Hallmark Channel. “There’s new love, there’s young love, there’s newlywed love, there’s mature love. Love. Love is what is happening. That is the storyline for this season.”
