Another wedding is coming to Hope Valley. Writers for the hit Hallmark series When Calls the Heart said someone will be getting married in Season 11. However, they are keeping their lips sealed about which couple on the show will tie the knot.
“There’s going to be a wedding in Season 11,” said Brian Bird, co-creator of the series, in an interview on the Heart to Hearties podcast. “I’m not going to say what it is or who’s getting married, but there’s going to be another wedding in Hope Valley. How about that? I’m looking forward to that.”
Another wedding
Hearties spent most of last season waiting for Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) and Lucas (Chris McNally) to tie the knot. The couple, who became engaged in the Season 9 finale, were planning their wedding throughout Season 10.
But the two drifted apart when Lucas began his run for governor. Shortly before the end of the season, Elizabeth broke things off. Some fans were furious with the turn of events, saying Elizabeth had become a character they didn’t recognize anymore.
Others were thrilled, saying that Elizabeth was a better match for Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry).
Nathan and Elizabeth?
Hallmark has been teasing a romance between Nathan and Elizabeth in recent months. When the network released the Season 11 poster, it featured an image of Nathan and Elizabeth looking at each other longingly.
In a trailer for the new season, Nathan is caught speechless when he sees Elizabeth sporting a new haircut.
McGarry said he thinks Nathan was made for Elizabeth.
“I have always liked Nathan and Elizabeth as a couple,” he told Entertainment Tonight.
Mike and Mei?
But Nathan and Elizabeth aren’t the only two Hope Valley residents making eyes at each other. Mike (Ben Rosenbaum) and Mei (Amanda Wong) have also been spending time together and a clip for Season 11 shows them growing even closer.
In a trailer released by Hallmark, Mike presents Mei with a new bicycle.
“I thought you could use it to get your mud from the hot springs,” he tells her.
“Mike, I love it!” she says.
“It’s the perfect bike for the perfect person,” he says.
Aaaaaawwwwww.
Maybe Lucas?
Though Elizabeth and Lucas are no longer engaged, he will continue to be part of the series, according to the writers.
“Lucas is one of our leads and he always will be and he’s an incredible actor,” showrunner Lindsay Sturman said. “His journey is incredibly exciting in season 11. And I think that…we get to see a side of him that we didn’t know…We went back and kind of mined what did we know about him, and then…carry those stories through because…there’s so much richness to the stories that we inherited. And then just growing them from there.”
He may have had his heart broken but surely a man like that doesn’t stay single for long.
