When Calls The Heart Analysis
From the beginning of the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart, Florence Blakeley has provided humor in the form of a sort of town gossip who revels in sticking her nose in other people's business and providing commentary on the way in which everyone lives or should live his/her life. Although she does tend to meddle, her heart is always in the right place. And last year, I had the honor of interviewing Loretta Walsh, the woman who breathes life into this beloved character.

I've never been so tired...and also so happy. In both my work and my personal life, becoming a mother has opened up some deeper and more vulnerable and joyful places in me. I'm very lucky to have a wonderful support system in place that allows me to continue to work on my career full force and spend time with my little one. And my multitasking skills have increased immeasurably!

Without giving away anything, what can we expect from Feisty Flo this season?
Feisty Flo continues to have strong opinions! A lot of the time, she represent the town and what they are thinking/how they are reacting to the comings and goings of Hope Valley. What you can count on is that Florence will always have loyalty for the people of Hope Valley. She's got your back no matter
