Decider | Erin Krakow is leaving When Calls the Heart After Season 11, Here's How!!! @Decider. | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
Could the beloved Hallmark Channel series "When Calls the Heart" survive without its leading lady, Elizabeth Thornton, portrayed by Erin Krakow? It's a question that fans of the show have contemplated, given Elizabeth's central role in the storyline and her significance to the fictional town of Hope Valley. However, according to executive producer Brian Bird, the series could indeed continue even if Krakow were to depart.
As the show gears up for its 11th season, Bird acknowledges that changes in the cast are inevitable after a decade on the air. The departure of Daniel Lissing, who played Elizabeth's love interest Jack Thornton, in season 5, and Lori Loughlin's abrupt exit as Abigail Stanton in season 6, were significant shifts for the series. Yet, Bird believes that the heart of "When Calls the Heart" lies not solely in its characters, but in the vibrant community of Hope Valley itself. #WCTH #ErinKrakow #ElizabethThatcher
