It's been so long that I feel the need to see if anything has changed for the better. Pastor Frank won't be coming back, sadly, but there's still a chance they'll bring another pastor to town at some point.

Faith was a big part of the books this series is based on and most towns in this time period thought faith and spiritual growth was a big part of their lives. Why did pastor Frank leave amyway? And why don't they have a church in hope valley now?

One thing I have noticed is that I don't miss WCTH at all. At least, I don't miss it the way it is now. Such a shame that it changed so much from the 1st season to now.Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506048107929554518.post-71096357315465667212020-09-05T15:09:13.214-06:002020-09-05T15:09:13.214-06:00I,too, am no longer watching When Calls the heart....I,too, am no longer watching When Calls the heart. I was just thinking recently that WCTH has<br />gone from Pastor Frank Hogan to a gambler (Lucas). I do sometimes read the fan fiction with the<br />character of Jack but skip the rest. The fact that they have gone from pastor to gambler says a<br />lot to me at least about how far this show has slipped from the original premise.

I used to, and I've heard that there's a spin-off show, but I'm not interested in either. I dislike it when Christian programming feels like it has to compromise its values in order to be heard. And that's what's happened here. <br /><br />I am sorry that it's happened, surely.

It has really hit a low point for me when Elizabeth went to Rosemary and Lee and there was a build up to her asking them if they would be her son’s...”guardians”. Not Godparents. “Guardians”.

Back in the actual Edwardian era, that's not what would have happened. One thing I do miss about the show is Rosemary and Lee, since I loved them as a couple. But even they aren't a strong motivator to interest me again.

There are way too many independent leading ladies and very few leading men and those there are, are not strong leaders who stand for truth.

Hallmark has altered her books severely, going so far as to even kill off her leading men so sequels can pair the girl up with someone else, so either she has no control over what happens once the book leaves her hands, or she doesn't "mind" the Charityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15928012771461206094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506048107929554518.post-55699573519631798842019-07-29T19:47:25.770-06:002019-07-29T19:47:25.770-06:00I'm curious about Janette's opinion too.

It would be interesting to hear if she's at all disappointed in the lack of spiritual guidance now. I'm sure she would never say anything, though, even if she thought it, just to keep the peace.Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6506048107929554518.post-21992747803780945072019-07-29T19:03:34.882-06:002019-07-29T19:03:34.882-06:00I think Lori waits to see which way the wind blows...I think Lori waits to see which way the wind blows in terms of fan popularity and throws her cap to that end.
