Will Hallmark cancel or renew When Calls the Heart for season six?

What do you think? Are you glad that the When Calls the Heart TV show has been renewed for season six? How would you feel if Hallmark Channel had cancelled this TV show, instead?
It seems a mean thing to do to aquire a fan base built on this one relationship only to dash it. So Lissing is in a relationship with a rich LA real estate salesperson. It’s not that he misses Australia in any way. Off to better things or cash in on his character build up in this series. Really, is this an actor ego thing.
I too would like to see Jack recast. Daniel Lissing will definitely be missed. Like someone else, I also thought a facial injury that the good doctor — Paul Greene — could operate on and bandage would give us a few episodes to get used to the new Jack’s voice. Jack and Elizabeth are the heart of “When Calls the Heart”. (I think all the other people on the show are great too.) The beautiful love story between Jack and Elizabeth should continue.

I’m very happy that When Calls the Heart was renewed, I just hope Mountie Jack’s death was a mistake. I hoped Jack was just going to come riding in on his horse. The last 2 episodes where heart breakers!
Please renew for season six. There are so few quality family shows these days and we love the characters.
It got renewed for season six while it was airing season 5 so it will be back.
I have loved when calls the heart but now just won’t be the same don’t know if I will watch it anymore
4 generations of my family (mom, me, my daughter, and her daughter) watched this series, ever episode since the first day. Losing Jack after waiting so long for them to get married is a very hard pill to swallow. The writers had better be deep in the laboratory making up for this atrocity!!
I love when calls the heart. Its so good to see mankind help and love one another. Please bring Jack back such a beautiful love story. Dont end it with tragedy. I would love to see a happy ending for such a great show.
Stick a fork in it. They have ruined it for good. Have watched it from the beginning and will never watch again.
Sad you feel that way. Jack will be very missed but there are many more stories to tell. Its one of the few family shows on these days . Its already been renewed.
That show is a great family show and I look forward to the show every week. Please renew it .
Good show with moral don’t cancel bring jack back
I can’t believe they killed him I am s mad
