Interview with Jill Hennessy, Roan Curtis, Lachlan Quarmby, Bethany Joy Lenz, and Benjamin Ayres of “Hope Valley 1874” on Hallmark+ by Suzanne 3/18/26
These two interviews were a lot of fun. I hope you enjoy this prequel series that takes place in 1874, about 45 years before the current season of the popular Hallmark Channel series “When Calls the Heart”). I’ve seen a few episodes, and it’s very entertaining. It premieres exclusively on Hallmark+ Saturday, 3/21/26.

Logline: Set in 1874, the series explores the earliest days of the frontier settlement that later became Hope Valley, chronicling the courage, resilience and relationships that laid the foundation for the close-knit town viewers have come 
to love. Lenz portrays Rebecca Clarke, who travels from her home city of Chicago to the Western Canadian frontier with her 11-year-old-daughter Sarah (Morgan). But when her wagon breaks down, and she realizes the boardinghouse is not as advertised, Rebecca has no choice but to accept help from local rancher and confirmed bachelor, Tom Moore (Ayres). Despite her best intentions to remain unattached, Bella can’t help but slowly fall for Tom and develop a friendship with tenacious pioneer woman Hattie Quinn (Hennessy). Hattie’s daughter Olivia(Curtis) helps run their trading post and catches the eye of Constable Alexander Vaughn (Quarmby), much to the dismay of Clayton (Goodacre), who harbors feelings for her.
