Interview with Lori Loughlin

October 23, 2014  Parade interview by Connie Wang.

Regarding When Calls the Heart, Lori who plays Abigail on When Calls the Heart says…

“I liked that it was about women, centered around women, I liked that it was a period piece, I liked the strength of my character. I liked that she found herself at a point in her life where her husband was no longer – he was deceased – and she had to stand on her own two feet and make her way in the world even though it’s 1910. Typically, women were married and had a man who take care of them.”

“I thought what was interesting too about it, even though it was a period piece, it felt to me you could tell contemporary storylines as far as “woman being single,” “woman starting her own career,” etc. And I liked all the characters, I liked the producers. I love Hallmark and I like a lot of the projects they produce and it also felt like a nice family show. Even though it’s geared toward women, I think it’s something the whole family can enjoy.”
