Executive producer Brian Bird announced When Calls the Heart Season 6 Episode 4 release in a recent post on Instagram. "Life throws all of us painful curveballs, and the only way to survive is to walk right through them with courage, grace, a forgiving spirit, and most of all, hope," he captioned the snap of the show's photo.
Bird went on to say the network knew that many people wondered what would happen to the future of show's cast, crew, and the citizens of Hope Valley. He then extended their heartfelt gratitude to everyone and encouraged them the way they gave confidence to the series.
He also thanked the Hearties for sticking with the When Calls the Heart through the rough time. "Hope always lives here," he ended the lengthy message.
According to Entertainment Weekly, When Calls the Heart Season 6 Episode 4 was heavily edited to remove Abigail's scenes. To recall, Hallmark Channel fired Loughlin due to the bribery scheme issue, in which rich parents paid a big amount of money to get their kids into elite schools. After that, the show took a break to "explore its creative options."
After editing When Calls the Heart Season 6 Episode 4, Hallmark Channel is now ready to unveil its remaining seven episodes to the audience. However, it is not yet revealed if Loughlin's character as the Mayor of Hope Valley would be recast or completely written out of the show.
When Calls the Heart Season 6 Episode 4, titled "Heart of a Mountie," will be out on Sunday, May 5. After that, a new installment will also be released on Monday, May 6, and then will return to its regular time slot every Sunday at 8 p.m.
