Krakow, who plays Elizabeth Thornton in the series, shared the season 10 poster on her Instagram on March 14. Many fans replied with comments about how excited they are for the new season. But one had a big question about what is going on with leading man Chris McNally. The actor plays Elizabeth’s love interest, Lucas Bouchard. The fan was worried McNally might be leaving the show because his character hadn’t popped up in any of the promotional material for the upcoming season. They also felt that the actor had been “completely MIA during filming.”

Krakow, who is also an executive producer on When Calls the Heart, was quick to reassure the fan that McNally wasn’t going anywhere. 

“[Chris McNally] isn’t leaving [When Calls the Heart],” she replied. “And since we shared many scenes together I can tell you he was definitely not MIA during filming. I’m sure there will be more of/from all your favorite characters/actors as we get closer to our premiere date.”

What to expect when the Hallmark Channel show returns in July 

Krakow and McNally’s characters got engaged in the When Calls the Heart Season 9 finale. Many fans are anticipating their wedding in the show’s 10th season. Season 9 also ended with big news for Rosemary (Pascale Hutton) and Lee (Kavan Smith), who learned that they were going to have a baby after years of trying to get pregnant. 

A season 10 teaser (via YouTube) offers more clues about what’s in store when When Calls the Heart returns. Hope Valley has been hit by hard times. The coal mine has been destroyed, the oil wells have dried up, and the foundry has closed. But the town’s residents are coming together in the face of difficulty. Some people have started a swap meet to reduce waste, while Lee is committed to hiring as many people as he can to work at the sawmill. 

“We’ve all rolled up our sleeves, relying on generosity, kindness, and neighbors helping neighbors,” Elizabeth says in the teaser. “Everyone has dedicated themselves to doing their part and having fun while they do it.”
