When Calls the Heart might have just started its 13th season<\/a> on the 2026 TV schedule<\/a>, but there will be so much more to look forward to in Hope Valley beyond the new season. Hallmark Channel has already renewed the long-running romance drama for Season 14, and along with that, Lori Loughlin will be returning as Abigail Stanton after departing in Season 6 due to her role in the college admissions scandal<\/a>. Erin Krakow is already excited to work with Loughlin again, and there\u2019s one moment she can\u2019t wait to have with her.<\/p>\n It was announced in December that Loughlin would be returning as Abigail in a multi-episode arc for Season 14, and Krakow was quick to welcome her back<\/a> to the family with a sweet Instagram post. The love fest is continuing, as Krakow told Us Weekly<\/a> what she\u2019s most excited about regarding Abigail\u2019s return to Hope Valley, and it includes moments between her and Krakow\u2019s Elizabeth as well as Martin Cummins\u2019 Henry:<\/p>\n I\u2019m really excited for that moment that Elizabeth and Abigail finally get to hug \u2018hello\u2019 after many years apart. But there\u2019s just always been something between Henry Gowen and Abigail, and I can\u2019t wait to see how that develops.<\/p>\n Since Abigail was one of the first to welcome Elizabeth to Hope Valley, the two quickly formed a friendship and a special bond, so seeing their reunion will definitely be one for the books. Their reunion won\u2019t be the only one to look forward to, though.<\/p>\n As Krakow said, Abigail and Henry\u2019s eventual reunion will be a special one. Likely an emotional one, too. Their relationship has been a complicated one, but it was obvious they loved and cared for one another, and those feelings have not gone away, as evidenced by Abigail\u2019s name-drop in the Season 10 finale<\/a> when Henry was staring at Abigail\u2019s Caf\u00e9 and going to her door.<\/p>\n That being said, not much has been shared about what will bring Abigail back to Hope Valley. She had left to take care of her sick mother, and while Loughlin has been on the spinoff, When Hope Calls<\/a>, there\u2019s no telling what will be in store. Not surprisingly, Krakow is keeping tight-lipped about the upcoming season, but not because she can\u2019t share any details:<\/p>\n I can\u2019t tell you anything about it because I don\u2019t know anything about it. We haven\u2019t written the season yet.<\/p>\n Considering When Calls the Heart was only just renewed for Season 14 a month ago, it makes sense that nothing has been written yet. Production is set to commence sometime this year, but additional information has not been revealed. So for now, fans will just have to theorize what will happen and how Abigail\u2019s return will go down.<\/p>\n
