    I wonder how the oil boom will turn out. If Hope  Valley turns into a book town it would certainly open it up for new storylines.

    Based on the  synopsis of upcoming episodes (or the ones they were suppose to air before Lori's scandal),  some people will be rich and others will not be. It brings division in the community.

    The debate would have been between Cody and Robert.  Abigail would have been the one to talk to them and ensure that they remained friends. In addition to that, she would have been the one to notice how shaken up Elizabeth was when she saw the new Mountie.  In my head I kept putting her into the plot to see where she would have fit.

    I saw the original episode of "Heart of a Mountie".  Abigail was concerned about the early arrival of the mountie and how it might affect Elizabeth. Abigail recognized how it had shaken Elizabeth and encouraged her to stop avoiding him and meet him. She apologized for not telling Elizabeth that he would be coming so soon. Elizabeth accepted the apology and said that she knew there would be a new mountie sooner or later. Additionally, Bill was not overly enthusiastic about the mountie and complained about how he started a fight on his first night in town. However,  Abigail said she observed that the mountie attempted to stop the fight not start one.  Also, Rosemary got a phone in her home and badgered Abigail (while she was at work) about the details of the new mountie. Abigail let her know that she was at work and that her inquiries were not "urgent." So, those were the scenes with Abigail. As for the debate, Cody and his friend was not included in the scene.

    It's not my job as a viewer to keep watching bad acting because it will help the actor "stay out of trouble". That is the job of the child's family.  

    Yes, that is primarily the role of the child's family. However, it quite often takes a village to raise children. Our role (watching this show) is minor but the support can have an impact on these young kids and their self esteem. It says to them that there is something that they can do that's worthwhile.

    To be honest many of the actors on the show are horrible at their craft (Erin is not the best actress and overdoes it quite a bit). No one on WTCH is likely to win an Emmy for their portrayals. Additionally, many people watch WCTH for different reasons. I personally watch it because it lets Hallmark (an other media) understand that there is still a sect of viewers that want (and will support) clean family-friendly entertainment. For me that means I'm ready to take the good acting with the mediocre to keep the series on the air. Also, high ratings do keep many of the actors employed--this includes the actor who plays Cody. I see it as a situation where both sides win. We get decent television shows, the actors get to remain employed, and those who are younger get to grow, perfect their crafts, and stay productive. Win-Win!

    Cody then just feel like too, too much since his plots are rarely central to anything

    .Just my thoughts on the character but....

    I kind of think Abigail's and Cody's plot was very central to the time period. Because of the lack of technology and medicine, untimely deaths were a huge part of that era. After Abigail lost her husband and son, she did what most women did in those days. They stayed strong and opened themselves up to care for other children (orphans) in the community who didn't have a home or parents. I think the character of Abigail shows how to face death...you don't dig a hole and crawl in; you grieve, press forward, and open your heart to love other people. 

    Another reason I like the orphan/adoption plot is because I use to be a foster mother. Those kids needs positive role models and to represented in the media as well. 

    The last reason I like Cody's character is because I think if they cut his role (especially if he's told his character is unpopular) these are the sort of factors that play into these Hollywood kids becoming hurt, angry, and self-destructive little brats. It's a positive role that can help this little actor be productive and stay out of trouble.

     If they're adopting I want girls and mostly I don't want Cody. 🙂

    Wow...lol...Cody has got to be the most hated little boy of any Hallmark production. I hope they keep Cody because he does represent the younger viewers. But based on what everyone here thinks, maybe the name of the show should change to: "The We-Love When-Calls-The-Heart-But-Hate-Cody Show!"

    As much as I dislike Cody, they could always kill Abigail off and have him go live with the Coulters. Boom! Family!

    I actually thought about that but to have this kid adopted twice is a little unbelievable. Maybe he will wind up living with his aunt and sister, or maybe they (aunt and sister) will move back to Hope Valley so Cody can remain there.

    Yes, but I still think the only remaining episodes we will see of the original season 6 episodes filmed will be the two cobbled together and being shown back to back in May.

    There's not much story line that could be covered in two episodes. I'm assuming they will resume somewhere around the point of the last episode. They will have to address the story lines they began in the first 3 episodes. The'll have to explain what happened to Abigail, the Henry Gowen-Abigail love interest, the new saloon owner and his shady background, why Rosemary looks so sad when the topic of babies arise, Faith's and the doctor's love interest,  Jessie's love interest, and and the entrance of the new mountie. That's a lot to cover in 2 episodes.

    I say they cobbled together the only episodes of the 7 missed (due to Lori ) and came up with only 2 they could show.

    I can clearly see that they edited Lori out of the preview they aired last week. It is the same preview they aired before Lori's arrest. They wrapped up six episodes before the arrest and I'm sure they are going to continue edit and cobble together those remaining episodes.

    The show got renewed for a 7th season:

    Wow! How can they renew season 7 when they have only aired three episodes from season 6? They are really stepping out on faith that the ratings for season 6 won't be lousy. I guess this is their way of making amends with the fans.

    Perhaps Abigail has come down with a permanent case of Chuck Cunningham Syndrome and her fellow Hope Valley-ians will never utter a single word about her ever again - not mourned, not missed, not remembered. 

    Just like poor Bobby Martin from All My Children back in the day. Went up to the attic to get a pair of skis and was never heard from again.

    Lol😂

    It might actually be the most tactful way to deal with it.

    Not defending Lori, but she and her husband are probably under instructions from their attorney on how to act. It may have nothing to do with how they are really feeling or reacting

    E-News has this to say about her behavior in public:

    " She was obviously extremely nervous and the actress side of Lori came out. She doesn't know how else to be in public...

    Moreover, the 54-year-old is not used to attracting attention for "something so negative," explains the insider. Now that the star is wading into what the source calls "uncharted territory" she is simply following her natural instincts. "Her natural reaction was to just smile and try to be light-hearted," the source explains."

    They can always have run over by a buggy or something like they used to do when some girl was going to marry one of the Cartwrights on Bonanza.

    Lol. True!

    "They need to burn off the rest of the season and then make the changes they want to make."

    This is what most fans suggested. I tell ya, I'm about to the point where I really don't care anymore.

  13. Bob Saget Breaks Silence

    Standing by Becky. Bob Saget broke his silence about Fuller Housecostar Lori Loughlin’s college admissions scandal to reporters after leaving Ava restaurant in Beverly Hills on Thursday, March 28.

    'Full House' Stars: Then and Now!

    “You know, I usually don’t do interviews on the street, but, uh, you know, you love who you love in your life,” he replied when TMZ asked if the Surviving Suburbia alum, 62, was still in Loughlin’s corner. “I just love who I love. Candace [Cameron-Bure] said it really good at the Kids’ Choice Awards — you love who you love. … Life’s complicated. I don’t like talking about it,” he admitted.

    I can’t see any of the other actors in the role.

    The only person I could see who's been successful at play period dramas, and who could pull it off, is Jayne Seymour: Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman. And she has a pretty clean image as well. However, she'd have to mask the English accent or either work it into the roll so that it's more of a Canadian/English accent.

    The suggestions for Abigail replacement? I don't think Anne Heche could tolerate the Morality Clause, given her past history of, well, everything!

    Agreed! BUT wasn't Anne Heche already in a couple of Hallmark Christmas movies: "Looks Like Christmas" and "One Christmas Eve"?

    Have you watched the show? Lol. He is just supremely annoying, in my opinion. In some episodes, he gets too much air time for my viewing pleasure. 🙂

    I should add, I am not a big fan of children on shows.

    Lol. Yeah I've watched the show and think giving Elizabeth a homeless child to adopt was just a logical choice considering her own child and husband died. I will admit that I don't like fresh-mouthed kids on shows either and in the beginning Cody's attitude was disrespectful. But I guess it represented him acting out because he was hurt, scared, and alone. I think he's maturing quite nicely though. Since the show is about a schoolteacher, I expect that there will always be lots of children on the show.

    I'm sure Lori and the rest will get sweet plea deals and will never see a moment of jail.  She might have to worry about the tax fraud, though that will likely  just be a fine.  The rich rarely get thrown in jail for their crimes, so I'm sure Lori will come out of this a little lighter in her pocketbook but that's about it.

    I think that locking her up isn't really what will make her learn from her actions. The punishment should be tailored to fit the crime. She threw her money around to break the law, so now she should be required to throw it towards paying  millions in fines.  Only money (or the lack of it) is what people of  Hollyweird understand.

    They will try to intimate that she is as dumb as the daughters and this was all an innocent mistake.

    Actually, the daughters are not so dumb. They were focused enough to use YouTube in a way that made money for themselves. Not many teens have the gumption enough to take a social media platform and earn a living. I think I read that those girls had in excess of 1.9 million subscribers in which they earn (after You tube's cut)  something like $1 per subscriber. That's about a million dollars. But now Lori has messed that up for them. She should have just let the girls get this Hollywood mentality out of their heads (they were raised that way) and let them go to college whenever they would appreciate it and were mature enough to work for it. Ironically, this whole situation with the girls losing endorsements and having Hollywood turn on them could be just the thing needed to show them how quick life changes and how much a solid education is needed. 

  20. Although no name was given Lori's spokesperson ("a source") is emerging and speaking on her behalf in an online interview.  She said that when Lori tried to help her daughters she “truly believed her heart was in the right place...Her intentions were pure...In [Lori’s] mind, the end result made everything she had to do worth it,” the source tells Us. “And she really didn’t even see it as being a huge deal...They haven’t fully grasped the extent of their alleged crimes or the possibility of prison time,” the insider said. 

    I would really like to hear her make her apologies to the public herself.  It would make me believe that she was truly sorry for what she did.

    Give money back? Never!!! Hallmark  is already getting a sizable amount of negative publicity. I think they will probably make good on the rest of season  6 even if they plan to cancel next year.

    So I guess I started following this WCTH forum after it was revealed, but I didn't realize most people felt it was LL who squeezed Daniel Lissing out. I am not a naive person (understatement of the year) but I seriously bought into LL's whole celebrity persona of being humble, kind, etc. I mean, c'mon...she was Aunt Becky!!!!

    When it comes to what I call "Hollywood Christians" I take them all with a grain of salt. Which ever way the wind blows them, they will go,  I never thought Lori was humble and kind. However, I thought she believed in old fashioned values and wanted to do her part in bringing back quality television programming.

    it works on soaps. and I think those of us who want our old show back would gladly turn a blind eye to any inconsistencies in the interests of getting back the show we loved

    I'm certainly willing to. It would make for an interest season to see Jack and Elizabeth fall in love again once his memory begins returning slowly.
