Is Chris McNally Returning As Lucas Bouchard In WCTH Season 11?

Hearties are concerned that Hope Valley’s savior will not be part of WCTH Season 11. Is Chris McNally leaving the Hallmark series? According to Erin Krakow, who recently spoke to  ET Online, “We’re not gonna lose Chris McNally.”

She continued, “I mean he’s fantastic. I can’t imagine that. The show just crew and changed when we brought in Kevin and Chris.”

As for the cliffhanger ending, with newly elected Governor Lucas Bouchard in trouble, she promises a speedy resolution.

I can say that the good news is that those questions will be answered. And pretty much right away, so we’re not gonna have to wait too long in Season 11 to get those answers.

Also speaking to ET Online, she stated, “We can assure everyone that Lucas is back for Season 11. He’s a huge part of Hope Valley and always will be. But there’s definitely a cliffhanger and a few mysteries packed in there, and it will all be revealed next season.”

Later in the interview, she was asked if Lucas and Elizabeth were not together, and he is the newly elected governor, and if he moved to Capital City.

She coyly responded, “All we can say is Lucas is a huge part of Season 11.”

Why Is Lucas In Hope Valley?

While Erin Krakow did not share any specific details about Lucas Bouchard in WCTH Season 11, a Heartie on Reddit revealed a clue that should explain why the new Governor is in Hope Valley instead of Capital City. This Heartie went to Vancouver for the Hearties Reunion in September. Moreover, they noticed something regarding Lucas. At the time, they likely did not see the significance.

During the Hearties set tour there was a ‘get well soon Lucas’ card in the infirmary…he probably gets hurt and eventually comes back to HV [Hope Valley] to recover, then sets up the governor’s office there That way he’ll still be part of the show and bonus, he can watch Elizabeth and Nathan get together when he was supposed to be her lifetime love. 😳

While there was no photo to accompany this statement, this sounds like a plausible scenario to allow Chris McNally’s character Lucas Bouchard hang out in Hope Valley. Most of all, he is going to have a main role in the upcoming season.

  1. Lucas est un personnage bourré de talents, d’une beauté incroyable et d’un charisme comme personne n’a jamais eu dans cette série. Cependant, je ne fais pas confiance à une Lindsay S. capable de tuer une magnifique série en si peu de temps. La saison 10 fut un désaste de démolition et comment récupérer dans la saison 11 avec une telle personne. Je souhaite que Lucas retrouve un rôle important, un amour inconditionnel et qu’il reste le personnage principal et adoré de cette série. Je ne suis même pas certaine de regarder la série, alors, sûrement pas au début car je me suis fait assez niaiser dans la dernière saison.
