*5/10/2021 update: When Calls the Heart has been renewed for a ninth season on Hallmark Channel.
I have watched from day one also and loved watching Elizabeth and Jack grow together. But I am tired of the triangle also. I like Lucas. I feel he is a caring and compassionate person. Like other people have said, there are many other people on the show who need story lines to develop. It’s frustrating to see her keep swaying and not committing to one of them.
Elizabeth character thinks she’s the best thing that ever happened, she’s not! Lucas character is a pompous, arrogant phony. Nathan character is great and should find the love of his life and have Elizabeth regret that she missed out on him.
Lucas is patient and kind. Nathan is rude and deceptive and pushy
It’s time to retire this show. It’s lost its original message.
Love this show its wholesome.
I have watched from day one. I love this show and would be so definitely be sad to see it leave. Such a meaningful story and makes you think.
So sick of the love triangle. I love Lucas but I think he can find someone better than Elizabeth. That way Nathan and Elizabeth can bore us to tears.
I really enjoy When Calls the Heart but at this point I don’t know if it deserves a season 9 this season should have so much going for it but it doesn’t it seems to be coming in short that’s perfect I enjoyed the dates between Elizabeth and Lucas and seeing Lucas’s mother hug little Jack seeing the new characters come to Hope Valley but I don’t know what the writers did to all the women they all seem cross and irritable Elizabeth can’t make her mind up and she doesn’t even seem very nice im tired of the triangle… Read more »
I prefer Nathan for Elizabeth over Lucas. Nathan is more real. Faith never seems happy. Keep Carson and let Faith go.
I agree plus if you read the books elizabeth is married to a Mountie. I don’t think a Saloon owner fits her.
Yes keep Carson and he needs someone better than Faith.
Bring in more single women. One for Lucas!!
I think Nathan would be a better match than Lucas. Really disappointed!
Please stop the triangle between Nathan Elizabeth and Lucas. NOW that Lucas and Elizabeth is dating. I really like Nathan let him find someone else. There is to much focus on Elizabeth. There other single lady’s on the show.
I always think too why they don’t bring in other single women. I think Nathan is a better fit for Elizabeth and let lucas find someone more exciting. Elizabeth is boring. Faith is boring. Rosemary used to be fun. Idk maybe they ran out of stories??
I love the show no look forward to it. I like the message we get from the show about how people support each other.
I love this show, it’s family friendly and warm hearted
Love When Calls the Heart. Missed season 7 wish it would replay. Can’t wait for each show! Best on TV!
Renewal
I love this show and I want to see what happens with everyone. I been watching send the first episode. I recorded it so I don’t miss anything.
I am disappointed in the love triangle. I like Nathan. Will not be watching . Nerve-racking. I miss Lorrie Laughlin! Sick of Elizabeth. I liked it up until the love tiangle.
