There are a lot of things to talk about now that we’ve recently welcomed the 9th season of our favorite Western drama, When Calls the Heart. A lot happened in Hope Valley in the 8th season finale. First and foremost, Elizabeth finally made her decision between the two suitors, Nathan and Lucas. We’re sorry to break it to the fans of Nathan, but Elizabeth opted for Lucas as the guy with whom she wants to spend the rest of her life.
Lucas, Elizabeth, and Nathan
The departure of Paul Greene from the show is the second incident that has caused a stir among the Hearties. After he and Faith split up, Greene’s character, Dr. Carson Shephard, left Hope Valley to seek a career in fellowship in Baltimore. Many fans were unhappy with Greene’s departure and questioned why he left WCTH. In reality, Paul had to quit the show because he and his fiancée Kate Austin were expecting a child. The couple welcomed their baby in November. As we made a quick recap of the 8th season finale, we can now jump into the latest When Calls the Heart news!

Where is When Calls the Heart Filmed?
The hit Hallmark Channel show was first planned to be shot in Colorado. However, most of the scenes were shot on MacInnes Farms in Langley, British Columbia, which is located near Vancouver in western Canada.
If you are wondering whether Hope Valley is a real town and open to visitors, we are sorry to say that the valley is a fictional set. Although the Hearties got to visit the filming set in the past, it’s been closed to visitors because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Well, we hope that it will be reopened soon. Who wouldn’t want to eat lunch at Abigail’s Café?
