Which Network Will Lori Loughlin Work For: Hallmark Or GAC?
Lori Loughlin has been given the approval to work in Canada for about a week in the early fall. Although she still has some legal hurdles with the Canadian government, it appears she will be acting again.
What is the role that Lori will be playing? Moreover, who will she be working for? Will it be Hallmark, where she is best known as Abigail Stanton in their hit series, When Calls The Heart? Or will it be Great American Family, formerly known as GAC, where she reprised her role as Abigail in When Hope Calls Christmas, the WCTH spinoff?
Lori Loughlin’s Canadian Destination Could Give Hearties Clue
First things first, knowing which Canadian city Lori Loughlin is filming could potentially eliminate When Calls The Heart. They are currently filming Season 10 in Vancouver.
Therefore, if the Fuller House alum travels anywhere else in Canada to work, it would immediately eliminate WCTH.
However, if she does work in Vancouver, it doesn’t necessarily mean she will be returning to Hope Valley. Vancouver is called “Hollywood North” and there are a lot of productions in this part of Canada.
When Calls The Heart Cast Wants Lori Back
There is no doubt that the When Calls The Heart cast wants Lori Loughlin back. Erin Krakow has been public about her “forever friend.” She has also shared numerous selfies of meetups with her. She told ET Canada her wishes.
“From your lips to God’s ears. I truly, truly hope so. It would make me so happy to see Abigail back in Hope Valley. And I think there are still a lot of really beautiful stories for her character to get to tell. I would welcome her back with open arms. So let’s hope.”
Also, do not forget that Krakow is one of the executive producers of WCTH. She could have a heavy influence on bringing Lori back. Moreover, she would get support.
The show’s co-creator, Brian Bird, had shared that they never recast Lori because there was always hope she would return to the series as he believes in “second chances.”

Could Lori Loughlin Return To Great American Family?
Is it possible that Lori Loughlin could return to Great American Family? They were the first to hire her a year ago to reprise her role as Abigail Stanton in When Hope Calls Christmas.
Candace Cameron Bure is now at Great American Family, and she is working on developing content. The two are good friends. That is very possible that Lori could be starring in a holiday movie.
While it is still possible that she could reprise her role as Abigail in When Hope Calls, it does not seem that Great American Family is doing anything more with this franchise. They were supposed to film the remainder of Season 2 in March, but there has been no silence.
However, it should also be noted that it is rather odd that Great American Family CEO Bill Abbott, was Hallmark’s CEO when Loughlin was fired from the network and all of her content was removed.
WCTH co-creator Brian Bird even revealed to Hearties Hotline that if they did not remove Lori from the remainder of WCTH Season 6, the show would be over.
But, there also appears to be competition between the two networks. Hallmark seems to be testing the water, as they have started to add Lori’s series, Garage Sale Mysteries to the Hallmark Now Channel.
Where do you think Lori Loughlin will go? To Great American Family or Hallmark?
