With longtime Heartie Sherry Foley, we gab about this weekend's BIG announcement, Hallmark merchandise, and the Christmas Carol retelling—Christmas Above the Clouds starring Erin Krakow and Tyler Hynes.

In this Valley Voice Editorial, members of the Hearties Family Reunion planning team recap fan favorite moments as well as their own from the 2025 event. Hearties descended on Vancouver BC in September to celebrate the hit Hallmark series When Calls the Heart, now entering its 13th season.

New England Heartie Cindy Gervais and Hearties admins reminisce about the first and subsequent seven Hearties Family Reunions. We talk about how the fan convention for Hallmark's hit series When Calls the Heart came to be—and highlights of the event each year for the hundreds who travel from across the world to attend.

Background actors Denise Jaden, Jessica Liu, and Melanie MacInnes share some of their favorite set memories from Hallmark’s long running hit series When Calls the Heart. They answer fan questions and pull back the curtain on how nonspeaking actors contribute to the show and other TV and film projects.

Melanie MacInnes joins us to tell us how the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart came to land on her family’s land—a multigenerational family farm outside of Vancouver BC. She shares how the working farm and filming of season 13 will coincide and the remarkable connection that has formed with the Hearties and her family’s land.
