When Calls The Heart Team Censoring All the Negativity Around Season 10?
Fans accuse showrunner of foul play.
For nearly a decade since its premiere on Hallmark in 2024, When Calls the Heart was often described as one of the best melodramas on the air, as the show about the Canadian frontier town of Hope Valley got better and better with each new episode. However, when Lindsay Sturman became the new showrunner for Season 10, fans began to fear for the show's quality, as such a sudden change in leadership seemed a bit strange to the fandom.
And they weren't wrong, as the final stretch of episodes proved to be a major disappointment, with the showrunner inexplicably deciding to break things off between Elizabeth and Lucas, despite the efforts of the past three seasons to build their relationship.
The fandom is disgusted
The reasoning behind Elizabeth and Lucas' breakup was ridiculously out of touch, as the previously strong and supportive woman was turned into a selfish and needy person who refuses to move to another town because she is unwilling to leave her comfort zone.
The fandom agreed that Sturman did a terrible job of continuing the excellent quality of the show with her season and hoped that Hallmark would fire her for ruining Elizabeth as a character and degrading the show into a banal soap opera. But you won't find out how the fans really feel from Sturman's official Twitter.
Foul play
Fans were stunned when they visited Sturman's social media account and saw that her comments were flooded with people praising the show's final season and thanking the showrunner for making both the show and Elizabeth great again.
While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, it's really hard to believe that so many people loved the abysmal Season 10 finale when everyone on Reddit and other social media agreed on how bad and poorly written it was.
Although it's still just a theory, fans suspect that Hallmark used bots and loyal fans to boost the positive feedback on Sturman's page, trying to make it look like the fandom loved the show to death, which is completely untrue.
Let's hope that Hallmark and Sturman will explain the situation to the fans in the near future.
