A When Calls The Heart Star Left For Taylor Sheridan’s Landman. How Her Former Co-Star (And Husband) Feels About the Change

by

The long-running show “When Calls the Heart” has reached its 12th season in the 2025 TV lineup, and with such a lengthy run, I’ve been contemplating the transformation of the cast. For instance, as Hope Valley welcomed a fresh face with Melissa Gilbert’s Georgie, this Hallmark mainstay also bid farewell to a beloved character during Season 10 when Kayla Wallace left to focus on Taylor Sheridan’s “Landman”. Now, her on-screen spouse and “WCTH” star Kevin McGarry is discussing the shift.

When Calls The Heart Played A Pivotal Role In Kayla Wallace And Kevin McGarry’s Personal Relationship

In Season 6, Wallace started portraying Fiona Miller on ‘When Calls the Heart’. She left the show in Season 10 but has made occasional returns in Seasons 11 and 12. Interestingly, she joined the cast at the same time as her current spouse, Kevin McGarry. The actor credits the show for introducing him to his wife, as he shared with Swooon.

As a devoted cinephile, I can’t help but express my deep gratitude towards “When Calls the Heart.” This captivating series not only jump-started my career and provided me with a cherished job, but it also brought remarkable people into my life, including the exceptional Kayla. Most profoundly, it led me to find my partner, my wife. The joy and memories I’ve accumulated on this show have been the most precious aspects of my cinematic journey.

Despite Nathan Grant, portrayed by McGarry, having romantic feelings for Erin Krakow’s character Elizabeth Thornton, it appears that these feelings didn’t deter McGarry from pursuing Wallace off-screen. A romance blossomed between them, and they got engaged in 2022 before marrying in 2024.

Ever since then, they’ve both appeared in two Hallmark movies as co-stars, specifically “Feeling Butterflies” and “My Grown-Up Christmas List”. As a result, it’s clear that McGarry and Wallace often work together. However, with the actress now starring in “Landman”, McGarry has shared his thoughts regarding her departure from “When Calls the Heart”.

How Kevin McGarry Feels About Kayla Wallace’s Landman Role

Previously known as Fiona Miller, Kayla Wallace has taken up the role of lawyer Rebecca Falcone in the series Landman. Notably, the show has gained popularity with a significant number of viewers who subscribe to Paramount+. Despite working less frequently alongside her husband, Kevin McGarry, he continues to express his support for Kayla, and his encouragement is as heartwarming as ever.

It was clear to me that there was that capable aspect within her. Her performance, though, is simply outstanding – she’s nailing it. She’s just amazing. Every performer on the show is impressive. I am immensely proud of her and believe she truly deserves all the success she’s experiencing. Plus, I can’t help but also appreciate Landman’s performance as well.

It appears they both enjoy their projects immensely and hold each other in high regard, demonstrating mutual respect and excitement. Moreover, Wallace’s occasional return to When Calls the Heart underscores its significance for her, especially since it was there that she found her husband.

Currently, McGarry is eager to appear as a guest on “Landman”. This show presents a unique contrast compared to “WCTH”, and this difference only amplifies the thrill of the change. Additionally, McGarry hasn’t ruled out working on another project with his wife, as he mentioned in an interview.

Currently, we really enjoy collaborating. However, at this moment, it seems like Kayla is following her own path, moving in a distinct direction. I believe she’s keen on concentrating on that. But, you know, the future is unpredictable. At present, she’s quite occupied with other commitments and responsibilities.

The series titled “Landman” made its debut on Paramount+ back in November and has since garnered significant popularity. Unlike “Yellowstone” and Taylor Sheridan’s previous projects, “Landman” features an ensemble cast that includes Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, Michelle Randolph, Demi Moore, Jon Hamm, among others. Interestingly, this show presents a different aspect of Wallace through her character in this Texas-based action-packed drama, setting it apart from “WCTH.

Although Season 2 hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, there’s a strong sense that it’s on the horizon, and we can only hope that this doesn’t delay Wallace’s next appearance in Hope Valley. In the meantime, fans will simply need to be patient and enjoy watching both Landman and When Calls the Heart.
