Hey everyone, I know I haven’t been posting regularly but I wanted to do a post on my thoughts of the When Hope Calls Christmas special. I recently watchEd season one after hearing that they are renewed for season two. I am very happy that it is no longer owned by Hallmark for they have been going down hill for quite some time now. I also am not watching When Calls the Heart any more after hearing of how unpleasant season 8 was. Me and my sis just watched the Christmas special after seeing that it’s free with adds on Amazon. I loved it! It was super cute and raised my hopes for season two!
Just a heads up, if you haven’t seen the Christmas special, this post might be a big spoiler.
Things I’m going to talk about in this post:
1. Grace and Chuck
2. Constable Gabriel
3. Lillian and her love life
4. Nurse Maggie and her love life
1. Grace and Chuck
 |
So first off, Grace and Chuck are not in the Christmas special and are said to not be in any of season two as well. This is due to the actor and actress not being available. I was very sad when I heard this because I really loved Grace and Chuck’s relationship in season one. They are though, talked about quite a bit in the Christmas special to explain why you don’t see them. They said that Chuck went after Grace when she went to take an orphan to her grandfather. It is said they are now married and Grace has opened her own orphanage in England.
I am very proud of the way that they handled the situation of the actor and actress not being able to be in the show. They made a good story of them being happily married and starting a life together. I do though hope to see them again in future seasons.
2. Constable Gabriel
Gabriel is in the Christmas special and I do feel that RJ Hatanaka has figured out his character more than in season one. In season one I feel that he had a bit of an awkward time playing a mountie. I still saw glimpses of it in the Christmas special but he seemed to be more relaxed and decided on Gabriel’s character.
In the Christmas special Gabriel becomes more open about his thoughts and feelings for Lillian, and decides to express them. But I’ll talk more about that in the next section. There were some fun times in the Christmas special that we got to see Gabriel’s character more. There were some very cute scenes he had with the orphans which I loved.
3. Lillian and her love life
Lillian, unlike her sister Grace, is still in Brookfield running the orphanage. She does find it to be a bit of a challenge to run an orphanage without her sister, but is making do with help from friends. She does seem to be missing Grace but is happy that Grace is living a happy life, with her husband in England. Lillian’s hair seems to be a little bit darker than season one and a bit shorter as well. I would really like to do a post of her hair in season one and the Christmas special and talk about my favorite styles she wears. She is really pretty and has lovely hair.
In season one there was a bit of a love triangle between Lillian with Gabriel and Sam though it seems to have dissolved. From what I can remember, I don’t think Lillian even talks to Sam once in the Christmas special, and there doesn’t seem to be any conflict between any of them.
Her and Gabriel’s relationship continues and grows. I don’t want to spoil anything but I think I’m safe to say that they are a couple and can’t wait to see their relationship in season two.
4. Nurse Maggie and her love life
I really love Maggie’s character. She’s pretty, lively, and has a beautiful British accent. She’s great with the orphan kids and is such a sweet nurse. She also had a pretty drastic change in her hair for the Christmas special. I’m not exactly sure what I think about it. Sometimes it looked fine and sometimes it didn’t look that great. I’ll have to do a post on all the female characters hair in the near future.
In season one there were some hints of her and Joe Moody, the owner of the General store, having a possible relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I like Mr. moody a lot but him and Maggie don’t seem to work well together in that way. In the Christmas special though, their relationship seemed much more on a friend level than it did in season one. In the Christmas special there have been quite a few hints of her and Sam becoming an item. I’m really excited about this because I made a comment in season one about wanting them to get together.
Sam was seen only a little in the Christmas special but the times that he was seen were mostly with Maggie. He was helping her with the Christmas festival and they seemed to work well together. I love Sam’s character and Maggie’s character and think it would be so great if they got together!
Well, that’s all for part one! Keep a look out for part two! Also, if any of you have seen When Hope Calls I would love to hear and discuss your thought in the comment section!
Until next time,
Beth
