When Calls the Heart	comment	When Calls the Heart is a 2014 Hallmark Channel series based on Janette Oke's Canadian West series. It stars Erin Krakow as Elizabeth Thatcher, Daniel Lissing as Jack Thornton, and Lori Loughlin as Abigail Stanton.The show premiered on Hallmark as a two-hour pilot film in October 2013. That film featured Maggie Grace as Elizabeth, but the role was re-cast with Krakow when it was picked up as a series.Set in 1910, Elizabeth Thatcher is a young teacher from an upper-class Canadian family who travels to Northwest Canada to teach the children of Coal Valley, a small mining town nestled in the mountains. There she meets handsome Jack Thornton, a constable of the Northwest Mounted Police (which later became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police). The series follows their romance and the lives of the town's citizens.Additional stars in later seasons include Kevin McGarry as Mountie Nathan Grant and Chris McNally as saloon owner Lucas Bouchard.In 2019, When Hope Calls, a spinoff centered around two sisters who start an orphanage in nearby Brookfield, began. It was picked up by GAC in 2021.

When Calls the Heart / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: In "Heart of a Teacher", the whole episode's plot revolves around Elizabeth trying to clear her name and get her teaching job back. She confronts the superintendent of schools in Northern territories about it, who agrees to take back a letter he wrote to smear her name if she agrees to be with him romantically. After Elizabeth declines and the superintendent refuses to take the letter back, Abigail urges Elizabeth to see if the superintendent has approached any other school teachers in this way, as they could help her with clearing her name.

When Calls the Heart / int_ac09dc0f	type	Alas, Poor Villain
When Calls the Heart / int_ac09dc0f	comment	Alas, Poor Villain: Throughout the first four seasons, Mayor Henry Gowan doesn't seem to have a single good quality. Despite his wealth, he's always looking for ways to make more money, even if it means the mostly poor town residents have to suffer. He even spread lies about Elizabeth in an effort to have her lose her teaching position. But after karma catches up with him, it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for this man, who grew up in poverty and doesn't seem to have ever had anyone care about him.

When Calls the Heart / int_c0965210	comment	Canada Does Not Exist: Notably averted in Season One, when the show makes it no secret that it takes place in northwest Canada. Strongly present in subsequent seasons, when, with the exception of a Mountie as a character and Hamilton as a city, laws, political systems, locations, famous historical artists and inventors, newspapers, and cities are all American. There is even mention of the Mountie running for President, instead of Prime Minister, which is an incredibly jarring experience for Canadian viewers.
