The popular TV series, When Calls the Heart, continues to chug along on Hallmark Channel, with its 12th season scheduled for 2025. Fans remain captivated by the mix of romance, drama, and fresh characters in Hope Valley. Notable among these newcomers is Melissa Gilbert, star of Little House on the Prairie, who appears in a two-episode stint that might develop into something more. Despite her tenure on the show, she finds working there remarkably nostalgic, describing it as feeling like returning home.
In simpler terms, Gilbert has been appearing as Georgie McGill, a character with a past connection to Jack Wagner’s character, Bill Avery, in the long-running Hallmark Western romance series. However, it seems there’s more history between them than just this past connection.
Gilbert conversed with folks about reconnecting with Michael Landon Jr., a fellow creator from When Calls the Heart, whose dad, Michael Landon, had previously acted alongside the actress on Little House on the Prairie. Given this shared history, she confessed that working on When Calls the Heart felt like returning home for her.
Working with Mike Jr. feels like returning home. I have faith that whatever tasks he assigns me will turn out to be captivating, engaging, and enjoyable experiences. Over five decades, we’ve forged a strong bond, and I hold him in high regard. His family is equally dear to me; I think his wife is exceptional. It brings me immense joy to find myself in an atmosphere where I feel utterly secure, valued, and cherished.
As a die-hard fan, it’s heartwarming to witness the circle of friendship and collaboration between Gilbert and Landon, who worked together on the iconic “Little House on the Prairie” for nine seasons. Now, with Landon Jr. teaming up with the Batgirl actress, it feels like a beautiful throwback to their shared history. Their friendship, which seems to trace back to the cherished series, has endured through the years, making their reunion in this context particularly special for the actress.
In recent times, Landon Jr., known for his acting roles prior to the 21st century, has been predominantly engaged in directing, writing, or producing tasks, notably on “When Calls the Heart.” This shift seems to be appreciated by Gilbert, as he gains a sense of reassurance knowing that the set is under Landon Jr.’s supervision, ensuring a safe and familiar work environment.
Currently, it’s unclear if Melissa Gilbert, a former political candidate, will make more than two appearances in the series “When Calls the Heart.” Nevertheless, she expresses keen interest in taking part in additional episodes and developing the possible romance between Georgie and Bill. Additionally, the prospect of working with Michael Landon Jr. again is appealing, as well as the fact that “WCTH” shares a Western genre with her previous show, “Little House on the Prairie.” However, being reunited with an old friend isn’t the sole reason why this series feels familiar to her.
It’s likely that Gilbert will rejoin “When Calls the Heart” once her storyline concludes. Given their close bond, it’s possible that we haven’t seen the last of Gilbert and Landon Jr.’s professional partnership.
New episodes of When Calls the Heart air on Sundays on Hallmark Channel.
