Could Daniel Lissing return to Hope Valley in a future episode of When Calls The Heart? That certainly seems like a possibility.

Here is what WCTH Showrunner, John Tinker, has to say about tying up some loose ends.

When Hope Calls Christmas Breadcrumbs In WCTH

In the When Calls The Heart spinoff, When Hope Calls Christmas, which just aired in December on GAC, there were a few mentions of Hope Valley residents.

In particular, Abigail (Lori Loughlin) sent a letter to Henry (Martin Cummins) that was so important that she was caught checking the General Store peering through the window, checking that the letter safely moved on.

Moreover, in WCTH Season 9, Episode 2, “Out Like A Lamb,” Henry revealed that he was corresponding with Abigail. Moreover, he went to visit her. We know this because Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) told Henry how much her dear friend appreciated his visit.

Henry and Elizabeth have become friends through their mutual love of Abigail. However, her friend has not shared a very important message with Elizabeth.

She likely did not want to share it in a letter. Moreover, she may not even want to tell Henry. This is a very important message that has to be handled delicately. This is a message from Jack.

Whether Abigail thinks this message requires delicacy, or if she thinks that she dreamt of this encounter, Elizabeth has not heard the message.

Could Jack Return To When Calls The Heart?

Therefore, one part of When Hope Calls Christmas will not be mentioned or resolved in When Calls The Heart Season 9. That is what Ghost Jack said to Abigail that fateful night.

What did he tell Elizabeth’s close friend?

Abigail, can you get a message to Elizabeth for me? Let her know that I’m happy she’s moving on with her life. And, let her know she’s doing a fine job with Little Jack, and I could not be prouder of both of them.

However, should there be When Calls The Heart Season 10, it looks like this message will be addressed. Speaking to the Official Hearties Admins YouTube page, WCTH Showrunner, John Tinker, addressed their plans for this message.

He began, “I do think in some fashion, should we go to season 10, we need to address the message that … Jack gave Abigail.”

Tinker then continued, “Somehow that’s going to have to be conveyed in a filling, satisfying way… That’s to be a bridge driven off when we get to it if we should get picked up.”

In other words, they want to create a high-impact moment to share this message. Could Ghost Jack or perhaps even Abigail return to give Elizabeth that message?

A letter or even a phone call will not give Hearties a “filling” moment. This sounds like a possible visit. But, it won’t happen for another season.

Did Hallmark Renew When Calls The Heart For Season 10?

Is When Calls The Heart Season 10 official? Currently, Hallmark has not made any sort of announcement on the future of their hit series. However, the ratings have been very good.

Moreover, co-creator Brian Bird is already posting #AllInForSeason10. They are starting to campaign for another season.

When Calls The Heart Season 9 is currently airing on Sunday nights at 8 p.m., Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel.
