That romance is between Henry Gowen and Abigail Stanton. They are portrayed by Martin Cummins and Lori Loughlin. Now, Hearties are wondering if Lori Loughlin could possibly be returning for Season 11.

Will Abigail Stanton Return For WCTH Season 11?

Currently, Hallmark is filming WCTH Season 11 in Vancouver, BC. Now, after the Season 10 finale episode, Hearties are wondering if Lori Loughlin will reprise her role as Abigail Stanton.

In the finale episode entitled “Starry Nights,” Henry Gowan continues on his path to redemption. He is slowly starting to forgive himself for his past sins. Moreover, he agrees to be Marigold Coulter’s godfather, with Elizabeth as the godmother. But their connection is to someone else besides Marigold.

Later, Elizabeth found Henry Gowan was shown staring at Abigail’s Café. He is figuring out his own heart. Henry revealed that it was “her on her side of the street, and me on mine.” He continued, “I lived in the darkness so long that I couldn’t see beauty anymore. Sitting here, across the street, helped me see it again. View hasn’t changed from here. I have.”

Then, Elizabeth replied, “I think she would have really appreciated who you are now.”

The last Hearties saw of Gowan in the finale was him at a home with A. Stanton written on the mailbox. Next, he knocks on the door. He says, “Abigail.” However, that scene ends.

Does he reunite with Abigail? Most of all, is there a chance that Abigail will return to Hope Valley?

Most Of Henry And Abigail’s WCTH Relationship Now Off Screen

In the past few seasons of WCTH, and the short-lived When Hope Calls Season 2, there has been some movement in Henry and Abigail’s relationship. In WHC, Abigail sends a letter to Henry, but not before she sees ghost Jack Thornton, in a Field Of Dreams sort of scene. A season later on When Calls The Heart, there is mention of Abigail.

Will Lori Loughlin Return To WCTH?

Is Lori Loughlin returning to Hallmark to reprise her role on WCTH? There is no indication that she is returning. Just over a year ago, Hallmark began re-airing Loughlin’s Garage Sale Mysteries. However, not since she was fired during the College Admission Scandal, she has not returned to Hallmark.

But, she has made movies with Great American Family. But, GAF has not finished filming any more episodes of When Hope Calls. Therefore, it is unlikely that she will reprise her role as Abigail Stanton again.

What Happened To Abigail’s Cafe?

In September, the Hearties Family Reunion shared what they could from their fabulous visit to the Jamestown set. One of the big surprises is that Abigail’s Cafe is no longer called that. It is now called The Cafe per the photo shared on Flickr.

This particular update seems to confirm that Abigail will not be returning to Hope Valley. But, it will be interesting to see if there is a story about the name change in WCTH Season 11.

Hearties, would you like to see Abigail Stanton return to Hope Valley?

    1. LOL there are very strict rules in place for convicted felons to go to Canada. It is not as easy as the Hearties think. She can be denied entry into Canada because of her conviction. Now when she did the two GAC movies she was given special permission and the media knew about it. So
      If she was coming back the media would be all over her return. If anything I think Henry or whatever is name is knocks on what is supposed to be Abgail door a man answers he says Abgail is not home Henry asks who he is and the man answers I am her husband who are you. Hallmark has moved on from her, she has done 2 When Hope Calls as well as two movies for GAF. I am sure what Daniel Lissing put on Instagram in a comment back to GAF about them wishing him. Happy Birthday. He said “Absolutely love being a small part of the team”. I am sure Lori feels the same why.

  1. I would love to see her return to Hope Valley and reprise her role as Abigail! Everyone deserves a second chance!!!

  2. I hope she comes back. Try this sceneries, Henry knocks on the door and Abigail answers and Henry stays! Would miss him. Or she comes back and helps run the saloon. We will see. She has paid her price and should be allowed to come back.

    1. LOL no I have a better one. He knocks on the door while she does write to him. She has moved away and found love with another man. Henry is devastated and returns to town. He is a bitter man and in the final episode next year kills everyone, The hearties are all inconsolable wailing and carrying on. The rest of us are so happy that this stupid show has finally ended.
