Some recent programming on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has made Sleuthers wonder whether Lori Loughlin is making new episodes of Garage Sale Mysteries.
Why are Sleuthers asking this question, and what do we know about the future of the Signature Mystery Series?
Is Lori Loughlin Making New Garage Sale Mysteries?
Recently, Hallmark has been quietly adding Lori Loughlin’s Garage Sale Mysteries to their lineup. This has not gone unnoticed. Her content was completely removed from the network when the news of the College Admissions Scandal hit. That was nearly four years ago.
However, this week, on Reddit, one poster wrote, “I heard they are making new ones with Lori, is that true?”
Many fans responded positively to the series. Yet, why do Sleuthers think that they are making more?
It turns out, this all started four years ago.
Lori Loughlin Was Filming New Mystery When Scandal Hit
At the time the scandal hit, Lori Loughlin was filming a second Garage Sale Mystery in the Vancouver area.
They had completed Searched & Seized. They were filming their second of three consecutive mysteries for the series. However, they had one week left of Three Little Murders. Unfortunately, they have never completed filming the remainder of the latter.
That final completed mystery, Searched & Seized, did not air until 2023, although the DVD was previously available for purchase on Amazon.
Final Garage Sale Mysteries Movie Finally Airs On HMM
Recently, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries has brought back Garage Sale Mysteries to air during regular programming.
This was not long after Hallmark began to slowly add a new mystery every week. They did this last summer, adding a new mystery a week to the Hallmark Movies Now streaming site. This includes Searched & Seized, the final finished movie.
Now, HMM is airing GS Mysteries marathons. The beloved series is back on the network and Sleuthers are thrilled.
For many Sleuthers, Garage Sale Mysteries is a brand-new series. That is because of the four-year absence since the excellent mystery series aired on the network. Also, those who did watch the first time around, are enjoying the return of the series.
Most of all, this final, finished mystery in the set is regularly airing on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. The next two times that Sleuthers can watch is on Sunday, March 19, at 9 p.m., and on March 27, at 9 p.m., all times Eastern.
Hallmark Removed All Of Lori Loughlin’s Content Four Years Ago
Back in March 2019, Hallmark removed all of Lori Loughlin’s Hallmark content. This included pausing When Calls The Heart Season 6, and removing Garage Sale Mysteries.
Regarding When Calls The Heart, they had to remove any trace of Lori’s character Abigail Stanton from the remaining episodes. It was weeks before Hearties were able to see the remaining episodes.
In addition, Abigail was mentioned as going to visit a sick aunt outside of Hope Valley. Although she has been mentioned every once in a while, she has not returned.
However, Loughlin did reprise her role as Abigail for Great American Family and the When Hope Calls Christmas two-part special program.
Is Hallmark Making New Garage Sale Mysteries?
Although Searched & Seized feels like a brand-new movie, this is not the case. We know that this was filmed before the scandal.
Moreover, Hallmark has not announced anything about making another one of the popular mystery movies.
In addition, Lori Loughlin’s character Abigail Stanton has not returned to Hope Valley, despite her former costars including Erin Krakow and Pascale Hutton continuing their friendship with Loughlin, publicly hoping she will return to the Hallmark series.
Instead, Lori Loughlin has been doing some work for Great American Family.
Have you been watching Lori Loughlin’s mystery series on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries?
Still watching Garage Sale Mysteries on Hallmark; and even though I’ve seen them, they’re still great!😊.. Wish Lori will continue to make them.. We all have made mistakes in our lives, and we’re not here to judge anyone..Let’s just move on🙏
I totally agree, Garage Sales Mysteries is the best series Hallmark ever made and it is because of Lori Loughlin.
I am delighted that they would bring back garage Store Mysteries, & was very saddened by the unsupportive line thatHallm ark took 4 years ago with Ms. Loughlin. Is hope the ratings tonight are very good & they will make new episodes.
I wish Hallmark and Lori Loughlin and her gang get back together and make more of the Garage Sale Mysteries. I was just introduced to the series and could’t get enough. Please make more.
Hallmark must be realizing how much the public misses Lori Loughlin.
She is the backbone of Hallmark actors. Garage Sale Mysteries is the best and I am hoping it is back and more episodes will be filmed with Lori Loughlin.
