When Calls The Heart will return for Season 7 next year as Lori Loughlin is ‘edited out’ of latest episodes

One month after The Hallmark Channel confirmed they would no longer be working with the actress, it was announced that the show would go on.

Lori’s ‘thrilled’ co-star Erin Krakow shared the news in an Instagram post on Sunday, ahead of a special double bill to mark the start of Season 6 next month.

Erin said: ‘You’ve already heard When Calls the Heart will returning with a special two-night event Sunday, May 5 and Monday, May 6.

‘I’m also thrilled to announce When Calls the Heart season 7 coming next year! We can’t wait to get back to Hope Valley.’

With a special message for the loyal fans, Erin captioned the video announcement: ‘Season 7 here we come!
Thank you so much #Hearties for all of your support!’

Abigail Stanton actress Lori was swiftly dropped from the show in March when she was arrested for her alleged involvement in a college admissions bribe scam.

It has been claimed that ‘creative editing’ has been used to cut her out of all future episodes.

In a statement, the Hallmark Channel confirmed last month: ‘We are saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations.

‘We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin and have stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels involving Lori Loughlin, including ‘Garage Sale Mysteries,’ an independent third-party production’

Lori had been in Vancouver working with the Hallmark Channel when her husband Giannulli was arrested at their home and taken into custody.

She has simultaneously been dropped from TV show Fuller House.

Last week, Lori and fellow actress Felicity Huffman refused to plead guilty to reduce a possible prison sentence.
