Why did Fiona leave When Calls the Heart? That’s the question Hearties have been asking since the start of Season 11.
“What happened to Kayla Wallace?” one fan wrote on the show’s Facebook page. “Are we going to see her at all this season?”
Why did Fiona leave When Calls the Heart?
Kayla Wallace joined the cast of Hallmark Channel’s longest-running original series in Season 6 as Fiona Miller, an independent young woman who was brought to Hope Valley to help set up the town’s first switchboard. She ended up opening a salon and making friends with the locals.
She immediately won the hearts of some fans, who liked her spirit.
In real life, the actress began dating her co-star Kevin McGarry, who plays Nathan Grant on the series. In 2022, they were cast opposite each other in the Hallmark romance movie Feeling Butterflies. The movie was so popular Hallmark featured the couple again in the 2022 Christmas in July movie My Grown-Up Christmas List.
They announced their engagement in an Instagram post in December 2024.
When Calls the Heart
Hearties did not find out that Fiona would be missing from Season 11 until the first episode aired on April 7. At one point, Minnie (Natasha Burnett) received a telegram from Fiona, who was visiting her sister. She told Minnie that she was enjoying her work with the Suffrage movement and wouldn’t be returning to Hope Valley for a while.
Why the change in storyline? It turned out that Kayla Wallace had booked a role in another series and was unable to film When Calls the Heart.
In January 2024, Wallace announced that she had been cast in Landmark, a new Paramount+ series. The show is being written by Taylor Sheridan. the man who created the popular series Yellowstone.
“THRILLED,” Wallace wrote in an Instagram post. “So grateful. Let’s GO!”
The series is set in West Texas and follows the fortunes of families caught up in the oil boom. Wallace will play Rebecca Savage, an intimidating liability attorney.
Will Kayla Wallace return?
In an interview with TV Insider, When Calls the Heart star Erin Krakow lamented the loss of Fiona in Hope Valley.
“Not to make it about Elizabeth, but look, she goes to the barbershop and Robert’s there,” she said. “She’s not going to have Robert cut her hair. Yeah, it’s a very close community. I think people are really heartbroken over the fact that Fiona’s not around. And truthfully, we don’t have enough time in the episode to really dig into that. And so hopefully it doesn’t feel like people are in any way cavalier about her departure.”
Krakow, who is also an executive producer on the series, said she hopes to have Wallace back.
“We are hoping that we’ll be able to have Fiona back for some episodes,” she adds. “Who knows? But yeah, we truly, truly over the moon thrilled for Kayla.”
Wallace’s new series, Landman, is scheduled to premiere sometime in 2025.
