On the Season 6 premiere of When Calls the Heart, “Phone Rings and Heartstrings,” while Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) struggles to return to teaching after having her baby, Abigail (Lori Loughlin) brings telephones to Hope Valley. Also, three new characters are introduced: the charming new Mountie Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry); the town’s first telephone switchboard operator Fiona Miller (Kayla Wallace), and mystery man Lucas Bouchard. For Bouchard, Hope Valley has become a safe, perfect little town for him to thrive. He loves the saloon and he knows gambling. As Chris McNally, the actor who portrays Lucas says: “He’s got a flair about him, so the saloon allows him to express his personality, and not everyone agrees with it.” And yes, Lucas and Nathan will vie for the attention of widow Elizabeth.
Lucas Bouchard actor Chris McNally is known for his roles in the Hallmark movies A Winter Princess (Jess), The Sweetest Heart (Nate), Rocky Mountain Christmas (Cody), and Eat, Drink & Be Buried: A Gourmet Detective Mystery (Douglas Weston), among others. He’s also recognized for his role as Sergei Brevlov in the Netlix series Altered Carbon. When Calls the Heart airs Sundays at 8 pm on Hallmark Channel. [So many Hallmark movies, streaming here.]
