*5/10/2021 update: When Calls the Heart has been renewed for a ninth season on Hallmark Channel.
Cancel.
I will not watch season 9. This was the worst writing of all time they lead us on just for views they don’t care about the bigger part of their fans. All poles lead to Nathan. I’ve been true to this show 8 years now I’m over it!!
Then quit watching!
I am sure she will as will I, already took it off series record and I am seriously considering dropping HM channel altogether. I will find a show with integrity like this one used to have.
Will not watch season 9
Very disapointed with season 8,the ending should have had Elizabeth choosing Nathan , will not watch season 8
Then quit watching!
Please do NOT bring Abigail back, she does not return deserve to return. Not necessarily because of what she did, but because she believed she “did no wrong”!! Really??!! If Jack could somehow return, that would be a blessing.
The shows new characters are now making the show more interesting.
You should not be judging her. There is only one that judges! She did wrong and she paid the price. It should not be a life sentence. She needs to be given a second chance just as you would if you sinned.
Please cancel it!
Personally i have always enjoyed WCTH. Seasons 1-5 was the best. I understand that Jack, Abigail,& Cody left and this has left a big void in the show. This year i feel that it has turned into a soap opera. It’s hard to believe the triangle was not over in the first three episodes. The Hearties are so divided that whoever wins at this point, there will be some anger. My issues on the suitors is one i can watch as a lead and the other one i could not. I loved Jack and wish that his legacy could be… Read more »
I absolutely love this show. I look forward to it every week. I love the life they live. Elizabeth, Nathan and Lucas are the best. Please have a season 9!
My favorite show. I enjoy watching it
I love when calls the heart but they have drugged out the Nathan & Lucas thing a little too long. I personally don’t know if I will watch again if she does not pick Nathan. Again I love “when calls the heart.”
So don’t watch it!
Cancel it!
Yes, definitely a ninth season. But please don’t pare Elizabeth and little Jack with Nathan. Elizabeth even said it: she has fun with Lucas. He’s thoughtful and romantic, and all there ever is with Nathan is pain. Will she really be able to just forgive him at a drop of a hat, marry him, and never resent him for what happened? He’s got issues, and seldom wants to share anything with Elizabeth when she asks. Elizabeth spent a few minutes with Lucas in his office, they almost kissed, and he asked her to leave so he could continue to be… Read more »
The writers have made Elizabeth self centered and not likable. It is now like she doesn’t deserve Nathan.
See I do not believe that she is self-centered. I think she really is afraid to commit and confused about caring for both men. I believe she is afraid to marry Nathan, since he is a mounty as Jack was. I cannot see her marrying a salon owner, but he is respectful and caring.
I am sick of Elizabeth and her love dilemma. It was good for a show or two. After that it is beating a long dead dog. I have come to dislike her.
I agree!!
I agree. I used to love this show but not anymore.
Then don’t watch it!
This show has jumped the shark big time since Abigail, Cody and Jack left. The seasons 1-5 of WCTH were good, up until Jack, Abigail and Cody left. Then, WCTH went downhill like a skiier. I think that Nathan and Lucas should leave Hope Valley and Jack should return to Hope Valley and reunite with his friends and reunite with Elizabeth and have Elizabeth introduce Jack to their son, Jack Jr. Oh, and they should get Sarge (the horse), Rip (the dog) and adopt a new horse named Jack III (LOL) Abigail and Cody should also return to Hope Valley… Read more »
Why did we watch a WHOLE SEASON AND STILL NOT KNOW who Elizibeth will pick for the new love in in her life.It would be worth watching a new mate in love relationship start with her every week. NO ITS THE SAME OL SAME OL!!!!
