What is When Calls the Heart about? Main storyline, explored
When Calls the Heart explores the story of its main character Elizabeth Thatcher. Elizabeth is a young teacher who receives her first classroom assignment in Coal Valley, a small coal-mining town in Canada. Wanting to thrive in this 1910 coal town, Elizabeth has to adapt to the ways of the Canadian frontier and blend in with the local citizens.
In the first season of the show, Elizabeth charmed almost everyone in Coal Valley, except Police Constable Jack Thornton. He was assigned by Elizabeth's father to protect her, which he believed was a waste of resources, time, and his career. However, Elizabeth and Jack eventually fell for each other and got married. By the second season, the town of Coal Valley was renamed Hope Valley, after the coal mine was closed.
Currently, in When Calls the Heart season 12, the storyline starts after Jack's unexpected death, with the town slowly returning to its way of life. Nathan and Elizabeth were seen dating, even despite Nathan's insecurities about being overshadowed by Jack's death. Nathan also wanted to become a role model for Little Jack, to which he devoted his energies.
On the other hand, it was revealed that Emily and Angela would be graduating soon, with Angela aspiring to attend a college for the blind in Hamilton. Though her mother seemed reluctant to agree to this plan, Angela has been determined to succeed.
Meanwhile, the younger children of Hope Valley also achieved a milestone, as Little Jack and Lily began their first year of school. Both of them seemed a little overwhelmed but relied on each other for some support to navigate their new environment.
Audiences can watch the When Calls the Heart season 12 premiere streaming now on platforms like Hallmark+ and Peacock.
