Lori Loughlin is a powerful actor, and, as it turns out, she used this sway to get Daniel Lissing to return on "When Hope Calls Christmas. "I'd spoken with her about it and she sort of pitched me the idea," Lissing explained to The List. "We spoke to the producers about it. And it had to make sense because the character died in the other show." Needless to say, everyone loved her idea, and Lissing was able to return for one more appearance as the beloved Mountie Jack. In fact, Lissing describes his return as "a really beautiful scene" that's shared solely between their characters.
According to Lissing, this action accurately represents who Loughlin is. He describes both Loughlin and their costar Erin Krakow as "amazing women" from which he learned a lot. "Lori and I worked together for five years, and we became close during that time. We really got to know each other as friends and as people," he explained. "When you are working with someone for so long and when you're in the trenches together on set, doing 16-hour days or whatever it is in the middle of winter, you form a bit [of] a bond and you really get to know that person quite intimately."
"She treats everyone on set and in life as well, just with kindness and respect," Lissing further explained. "I really admire her as an actor. It was great working with her." Ultimately, Lissing has given us a reminder that grace goes a long way.
Season 2 of "When Hope Calls" starring Daniel Lissing is currently airing on GAC Family.
