Hallmark Shares More On ‘WCTH’ Lucas Bouchard’s Love Interest
Hearties are kicking off 2025 with WCTH Season 12. Moreover, this season looks to include a new romantic interest for Chris McNally’s character Lucas Bouchard. Although Chris has already hinted at a possible romance in the upcoming season, Hallmark seems to have confirmed it.
Here is what Hallmark has said about the Governor’s probable love interest in When Calls The Heart Season 12.
Hallmark Teases New Lucas Bouchard Romance In When Calls The Heart Season 12
In early October, when Chris McNally was promoting Holiday Crashers, he talked about his character Lucas Bouchard. He revealed that there is someone who is new to town, and it is a lady. However, she is in “fairly strong opposition to Lucas.” Moreover, sparks fly. This will be a nice change from Season 11 when he had amnesia most of the season, as well as watched his former fiancée flirt with another man. This was a season of pain for the newly elected governor.
Chris also stated that this “fun” new character should be interesting to Hearties. But, he was not fully sure whether showrunner Lindsay Sturman intended on making this a full-on romance, or this is just a cantankerous relationship. He didn’t want to spoil something that may never materialize.
On Thursday, TV Line answered a question about Lucas Bouchard and if they would “spill the tea on his new lady friend.” They did not need to go to Chris McNally to get this information about the upcoming season. Hallmark happily shared it and what they had to tell the publication was very intriguing. This new love interest is “a lawyer who inherited her uncle’s cattle ranch near Hope Valley butts heads with Lucas over community policy. And throughout the season, we’ll see a friendship develop––and possibly some sparks.”
This answer also leads to other questions. It sounds like the Governor is still in Hope Valley. This was the reason that Elizabeth and Lucas broke up in the first place. Next, Hearties may wonder if Lucas is careful about romance. First, Elizabeth dumped him at the train station. Next, Jeannette deceived him and tried to kill him. Lucas may be left with some trust issues.
When Does WCTH Season 12 Premiere?
The premiere of WCTH Season 12 is on Sunday, January 5, at 9 p.m., Eastern, on the Hallmark Channel. Each episode will be available to stream on Peacock up to 72 hours after the premiere. Currently, the network has not shared any information on when it will be available to stream on Hallmark+.

He needs to have a love interest. The reason for the break up is showing very unreasonable since he is still living in Hope Valley. Many fans would not like it if Lucas was missing from the scenes. It is good for him to stay in Hope Valley longer and hopefully even if he should go to Capital City that they will give him the right amount of screentime to please the Lucas fans. They are not satisfied with the past two seasons. It was awful how they treated Lucas in s10-11. The toxic fans who hate him were so content that they were getting more of what they wanted yet they are still toxic and attacking Chris McNally and Lucas Bouchard for unreasonable reasons. It is the decision makers, producers, showrunner and writers that are portraying such an awful perspective of him in these previous two seasons. It is not the actor and character’s fault. There was a lot of toxic scenes in s10 and s11 still had some. The only romance that I really saw in S10 and S11 was from other characters. The scenes with Elizabeth and her new love interest were not genuine romance scenes. Many Lucas and Elizabeth fans can see right through them and it was more toxic and out of jealousy than to just please the fans. They tried to limit Lucas’ on screen time from the way it used to be and lost many fans because they chose wrongly and the writing has significantly declined in quality compared to its previous seasons that had better show runners and writers. Chris and Lucas is the main character keeping the series on air. Fans have lost their love for Elizabeth and tired of seeing her with a mountie who they don’t love.
It doesn’t matter if he is in love or just has a close friend he can truly trust. Elizabeth lied and didn’t love him. Janette tried to use and kill him. Let him take time if he wants
