‘Garage Sale Mystery’ Star Speaks Out, But No News On Unaired Episode
Garage Sale Mystery has been canceled after the Lori Loughlin college admission scandal. Fans are mourning the loss of their favorite show. This includes one of Lori’s costars, Eva Bourne, who played her daughter. What does she have to say and what do we know about the episode, Garage Sale Mystery: Search & Seized, that was completed weeks before Lori Loughlin’s firing?
Eva Borne Says Goodbye To Fans, Cast And Crew
Garage Sale Mystery star Eva Bourne went to Instagram to thank fans, cast and crew for “six solid years.” She portrayed Hannah Shannon, daughter to Jennifer Shannon, who of course, was played by Lori Loughlin. Eva wanted to thank her “little family” that was the Garage Sale Mystery family. She seems almost wistful as she closed her piece with “Until our paths cross again.”
“I’m still not quite sure what to say, but I do know that I want to thank our fans. Your unwavering and loyal support was what made this show so successful and kept the show running strong for six solid years. ✨✨✨I would like to thank our brilliant, hard-working, kind, hilarious crew and cast. We created our own little family over those six years and that’s what makes this all the more devastating. I will miss the comfort and ease of our days, the tears that came from laughter, and the loving support that came like a reflex when someone needed a shoulder. Wishing you all the best on your next endeavours. Until our paths cross again ✨✨✨”
Worked On Both WCTH And Garage Sale Mysteries Together
Eva and Lori had another connection, this time on When Calls The Heart. Eva plays Clara Stanton on the show. Lori and played Abigail Stanton, Clara’s mother-in-law. Clara was Peter Stanton’s widow. The two obviously worked closely together. Based on her admission that she is not even sure “what to say,” she is still careful not to mention Lori or any of her own feelings about this difficult and surprising ending to this show. Nobody wanted it to end as it did.
Sarah Strange who played Dani, Jen’s business partner, co-owner of Rags to Riches, also had thanked fans and crew, without mentioning Lori Loughlin. She admitted she was “bereft” at the thought that the show that she loved was now canceled. Until her post, fans were still holding out hope that the show would survive like When Calls The Heart. Sadly, it was not.

Will Garage Sale Mystery: Searched & Seized Ever Air On Hallmark?
When Lori Loughlin was indicted in the college admissions scandal, she was in the midst of filming Garage Sale Mystery: Three Little Murders. The show was canceled before that particular episode was completed. Unbeknownst to most fans, Garage Sale Mystery: Search & Seized wrapped.
Producer and screenwriter Kraig Wenman had penned a thank you to Garage Sale Mysteries fans and even thanked Lori Loughlin for the “opportunity” to write for the talented actress.
A shame for all the talented cast & crew involved. From what I gather, the 16th film was completed (Search & Seized) and the 17th (Three Little Murders) had about one more week to go? I hope that work doesn't go to waste and sees the light of day at some point.

According to the response to that tweet by actor/writer/director Jean Morel, who asked about the completion of Search & Seized, and that Three Little Murders only had one week left of shooting. Morel asked that the work should not “go to waste.” Next, Morel also shared that both should see “the light of day at some point.” Kraig responded with “You are correct.”
You are correct

What will Hallmark do with the completed episode? Normally in August, Hallmark has Garage Sale Mysteries month. Usually Hallmark airs four episodes, one per week. Could fans possibly pressure Hallmark to air the completed Search & Seized episode? Perhaps even convince them to edit and complete Three Little Murders?

What do you think Hallmark should do about Garage Sale Mystery: Search & Seized? Do you think that they should complete the filming of Three Little Murders? What are your feelings about the show cancelation? Would you have been fine if they replaced Lori Loughlin with another actress, like Daphne Zunuga, who has been on several recent Hallmark movies? Please share your opinions and thoughts in the comment fields below.
I think they should air the completed Garage Sale Mysteries & finish The Three Little Murders filming & editing it. The other actors & actresses shouldn’t be punished. A new actress could replace Lori on the Garage Sale Mysteries. The series Wind at my Back replaced Honey & she worked out perfectly. They need to resemble them pretty close though.
I would love to see them continue the Garage Sale Mysteries! It’s obvious that Lori Loughlin is out, but I would be happy seeing her part recast. The whole show was fun to watch with all the cast. Several groups on Facebook are hoping as well.
Here is a petition started to support continuing the show with a recast.

I think they should recast the part of Jennifer and continue with the show, as it is a lighthearted fun mystery series and the other cast members, crew and us fans shouldn’t loose out just because of the actions of one person.
Please continue , its a great show and why should everyone lose their job because of this. Replace her with Bonnie Hunt she would be good
her abd her husband paid for the mistake plus the embarrassment. Bring her back.nothing else any good and the really only good Hallmark show.
I think the fans are adults aware of the scandal and can separate real life from fiction. If the show is complete, air it.
I feel that Hallmark acted too quickly and should have not canceled the show. It is not fair for so many people to be out of jobs because of one person’s actions. I think they should have visited with the producers and given this some time.
I, too, hope that if Hallmark isn’t comfortable with airing the completed episodes that they will be made available some other way. I feel so badly for the rest of the cast and crew. I think they could pull off recasting the roll. I would watch.
I hope Hallmark with air the finished GSM and then, in time, replace LL. GSM was one show my husband would watch with me. The entire cast and crew (plus fans) should not suffer for LL’s misdeeds.
How about Brook Shields or Lacy Chabert as a replacement or many of the other fine actresses used over and over in the Xmas movies?? Would be nice to see it continue!!
I hope that at least the 2019 movie “GSM Search and Seize” would air since it’s already done. I would love to see the “ThreeLittleMurders” if at all possible. Hubby watches those movies with me as well.
I want Lori Loughlin back on Garage Sales Mysteries! She served time for the crime she committed and should be allowed to reestablish herself as a functioning member of society, just like anyone else.
I agree completely.
Also agree bring Lori back
I don’t see any reason why there couldn’t be new episodes made with Lori Laughlin. She made a mistake and paid for it. She’s a very good actress, and Garage Sale Mysteries are great movies. Most of her fans have forgiven her and would still like to see her as Jennifer Shannon. I really miss those movies. There have been so many copycats-most not nearly as good. Bring her back!
I agree, but if that can’t happen please recast the part so we can have the Garage Sale Mysteries back it is such a shame all those other cast members have to suffer as well.
It’s all been said better than I could…Be a good example, Hallmark, bring Lori home…
Lori has served her time and repented. Bring Lori and Garage Sale Mysteries back!
Lori Loughlin made a mistake. She is human. I challenge anybody who says she must be completely ostracized to look at their own lives and if there is one idiot among you who can say you’ve never made a mistake, let THAT person claim that Lori should be replaced. She is an excellent actress who has paid her dues. BRING HER BACK!
I agree completely.
I agree too.
She’s paid her debt.
Let it go.
You’re cutting off your nose to spite your face
It’s not as if she was the only one that has done this over the last decades
I agree with many ..bring Lori back..the cast had fused together and brought sensitive quality to each film. She has paid for what was required..and as a Christian I believe in forgiveness and old ways being put aside and new starts .
I agree that she has paid her debt she did what many other loving parents do and that was to want what is best for her children….this type of thing has been going on for many many years and has only recently come into the public spotlight I’m not saying that what she did was right but this has nothing to do her professional life I consider her a very good actress and I always looked forward to when the new episodes of the Garage Sale Mysteries would be released and also watching repeat airings…. I loved all the characters and I thought the interactions between them all was excellent it made for a very homey series she paid for what she did and it seems to me that she is being held to a much higher standard than anybody else she is after all human she did have a horrible lapse in judgment but she did not murder anybody and I don’t feel that she did anything that should permanently scar her professional life I would love to see garage sale mysteries back and I would love to see the unreleased episode!

I agree 100% Lori Laughlin paid for her mistake. I don’t want her part recasted she IS Jennifer Shannon. I know others shouted out some replacement actresses names but I feel Lori is what makes it just that much more special and fun to watch. I just paid almost $200 for the entire series dvd set and I would STILL watch them if Hallmark brought them back to tv even when i own them. Please let her come back home to Garage Sale Mystery we miss her and the entire cast we want more keep them coming they give so many something to look forward to in the fall.
Bring back Garage Sale Mysteries and have Lori Laughlin back as Jennifer. It’s the only way!! I loved the series
