Q: I recall hearing that Jena Engstrom quit acting due to illness. What was the illness?
No one seems to know (apart from Engstrom herself, presumably), and we have to remember that the story played out in a very different era for the news business.
Engstrom enjoyed a brief but prolific acting career, appearing in 25 different titles over just five years in the early 1960s. Her final screen appearance came in 1964, when she was just 22.

Q: Now that Hallmark has fired Lori Loughlin, what is happening with the series "When Calls the Heart"? I tuned in on Sunday to watch the show and it was not on. Are they going to leave us hanging or retool and omit her?
The good news in this ugly story -- if there is "good" news to be found -- is that "When Calls the Heart" will survive.
Producer Brian Bird announced the news on the show's official Instagram page, saying, "With the full support of the network, we have gone on a creative hiatus to do some retooling on the remaining Season 6 episodes ... Hope Valley will return to your screens as soon as we can bring the episodes to you."
