Before "When Calls the Heart" became an hour-long series, it was a film until Hallmark Channel decided to make some adjustments in the plot.

The thrilling story focuses on a young teacher, Elizabeth Thatcher, played by Erin Krakow. Her perspective on life changes after realizing that her current location (Coal Valley) doesn't offer her the same lifestyle as the urbanized life that she's used to living.

Other characters include Henry Gowen, oil business owner, Mountie Jack Thornton, who is head over heels in love with Elizabeth, and Bill Avery, the town's judge.

The teacher's love triangle involves two men, Lucas and Nathan, played by Chris McNally and Kevin McGarry, respectively.

Erin and two other cast members revealed that they are as happy as fans of the show, with the news of a continuity.

After the end of its seventh season, lovers of "When Calls the Heart" have called out to the producers for a proper conclusion of the series by introducing a season eight.
