When you hear “When Calls The Heart,” you might initially think of Lori Loughlin and that whole college admissions saga. But beyond the drama, it’s a series that serves up warm, fuzzy feelings—just what we need for a cozy binge. As another season wraps up, fans are curious: has Andrea Brooks, who brings nurse Faith Carter to life, bid adieu to Hope Valley?
Since its 2014 debut on the Hallmark Channel, alongside those wonderfully cheesy Good Witch films and a slew of Christmas favorites, When Calls The Heart has captivated viewers with Erin Krakow’s portrayal of Elizabeth Thatcher, a teacher navigating life in the quaint town of Hope Valley. But amidst Elizabeth’s journey, the question looms:
Is Andrea Brooks sticking around on this beloved series?
As of now, the good news is Andrea Brooks remains firmly part of the When Calls The Heart cast, with no whispers of her departure stirring up the rumor mill. Fans have had their share of nail-biting moments, though. Back in 2020, speculation ran rampant when Faith’s storyline hinted at a move to medical school in Chicago during season 7. Yet, to everyone’s relief, Faith stayed put in Hope Valley, and Brooks continued to grace our screens.
Fast forward to the season 11 finale, where Faith faced another crossroads—this time, an opportunity to relocate to Nashville. But true to her commitment to the community, she chose to stay. Brooks herself has hinted at aspirations beyond acting, dabbling in writing as she shared with Mediavillage.com in 2023. Despite these creative ventures, her dedication to When Calls The Heart remains steadfast.
In fact, Brooks’s enthusiasm for portraying Faith shines through in her interviews. Reflecting on her tenure since joining in season 2, she expressed immense gratitude, noting how rare it is for actors to be part of a series for over a decade. Her portrayal of Faith—from her impactful work as a nurse to her romantic entanglements—has been a journey cherished by fans.
Given Brooks’s deep connection to Faith’s character and the show’s ongoing popularity, it’s safe to bet that we’ll continue to follow Faith’s adventures into season 12 and beyond. With showrunner Lindsay Sturman affirming a wealth of untold stories waiting to unfold, the future looks bright for When Calls The Heart. As long as Hallmark keeps the heartwarming tales coming, Faith Carter will remain a cornerstone of Hope Valley’s enduring charm.
