Chris McNally Hints ‘WCTH’ Season 12 Could Include Romance For Lucas Bouchard
Chris McNally may currently be promoting his Countdown To Christmas movie Holiday Crashers with Lyndsy Fonseca, but he is also in the final weeks of filming WCTH Season 12. Best of all, he is ready to tease a few hints about the upcoming season. This includes a possible romance for his character Lucas Bouchard, who was dumped at the train station by his ex-fiancée Elizabeth Thornton (Erin Krakow, who then declared her love for Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry) in Season 11.
What did Chris tease?
New Hope Valley Resident May Be Love Interest For Lucas Bouchard
WCTH star Chris McNally may have been talking about Countdown to Christmas, but he was happy to answer some questions about the Hallmark series. Speaking to Swoon, McNally dished on whether Lucas will find love on When Calls The Heart Season 12.
Well, there is one of the new characters that’s coming to town who represents a fairly strong opposition to Lucas, and I think within that is a spark of chemistry, and we will see where that goes.
However, Chris did not want to bring up Hearties’ hopes if nothing came of this relationship. “I’m not sure yet, but I also don’t want to spoil anything, but I think fans will be excited to meet this new individual and get to know them and follow that journey.”
It appears there will be a cornucopia of “fun new characters” in Hope Valley. His only hint is that the Hallmark series will “explore some areas that we haven’t had a chance to before in terms of these new characters but expanding on maybe some of the younger characters that are now coming into adulthood.” He considers this an opportunity to tell new stories.
Lucas Will Always Have Love For Elizabeth
Last season, Elizabeth and Nathan declared their love for each other. While many Hearties contend this has been a slow burn, Elizabeth and Lucas had been a couple for several seasons. This is the only person that Lucas has ever courted since arriving in Hope Valley.
Chris McNally was asked whether Lucas still loved Elizabeth. The WCTH star shared, “I think that Lucas has always maintained that Elizabeth’s happiness is paramount to him, so seeing her happy with Nathan, that gives him some solace.” However, McNally admits, “He’s happy for her, but it obviously still stings.” After admitting that Lucas wishes that the two were together, ultimately “he really cares for Elizabeth and wants her to be happy.”
When Calls The Heart Season 12 will premiere on the Hallmark Channel in 2025. Currently, the first 11 seasons are available to stream on Hallmark+.
