‘When Calls the Heart’ Star Daniel Lissing Says Goodbye to the Show in an Emotional Post

Nicole Villeneuve
Apr 25, 2018

It’s always heartbreaking when beloved characters leave our favorite TV shows. Whether they’re written out thoughtfully or through a devastating death, it’s not easy to move on. Fans of Hallmark’s hit western drama When Calls the Heart are really feeling that right now, as the show just said goodbye to a longtime cast member. Warning: Spoilers ahead!

Sunday’s season 5 finale dealt a shocking and heartbreaking blow when lead character Mountie Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing) died off-screen, just one month after the on-screen wedding to his series-long love, Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow). On Tuesday, Lissing took to Instagram to say a bittersweet farewell and to thank the fans — affectionately known as Hearties.

“I have no idea what the future holds for my career, but I’m excited to see what happens and I feel very lucky to have the support of the #hearties and @hallmarkchannel moving forward. #thankyouforeverything,” the actor wrote. He indicated that it had been a busy few days dealing with press over the surprise finale, and that he has already taken phone calls about work.

In an interview following the finale, the cast, including Lissing, Krakow, and Lori Loughlin, opened up about the finale, and why Lissner’s character was written out.

“First and foremost, I want to say to all of our fans that the three of us here are very good friends, and we all love each other and we support each other,” Loughlin said. “But we are actors. And actors have contracts, and sometimes contracts expire and you have a choice to make. You either renegotiate or you don’t, and Dan has chosen to move on. We respect that. No judgment, we love him, we wish him well, he’s still part of the Hallmark family.” She also shared that the show had considered writing Jack out in other ways, but that none of the options suited the story or characters properly.

In any case, Jack’s presence will certainly be felt in future episodes, even if he isn’t physically there. At the end of the finale on Sunday, Elizabeth revealed that she’s pregnant. It’s safe to say it’ll be an emotional season 6.

Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Denzel Washington, and Paul Mescal were absolutely electric together! And the use of "No Church in the Wild" by Jay-Z and Ye? My jaw literally dropped.

I originally wanted to know if these three powerhouses could form an alliance that would change the future in Gladiator 2. Despite the outcome (no spoiler alerts here!), there was sizzling action...and bodies. And by sizzling, I really mean it. Paul revealed in an interview with EW that his arena scene, which will feature a CGI rhino, was so hot, he was "borderline throwing up."

"We shot that for about two or three days, but the heat was just….My Irish blood does not function with Ridley's shooting schedule, which is like sun up to sun down, hottest parts of the day," he says. "It was brutal, the fight. I grew up playing sports, so I would consider myself pretty robust and happy to throw myself around, but it was just the [arena] itself became like a radiator. I was borderline throwing up, irritable, just hardcore. Between takes I was firing ice straight down my back."

Pedro Pascal also recalled a few memorable moments from shooting the film, and my personal favorite was what sounds like the greatest blooper of all time. "I was running off the drawbridge, and they kind of dressed it with some dust so that when it slams against the fortified wall, there's a big puff of smoke, of dust," he says. "And I'm charging off the drawbridge and jumping over the wall, and I slip,. I literally bounce off the drawbridge on my —ss and land splat in front of Paul's feet on the first take." And in true Pedro fashion, he followed up with, "Are you not entertained?"

"There was a moment when we were rehearsing my fight scene with Pedro, and I had an idea towards the end of the scene to kiss Pedro on the forehead," Paul adds, referencing a cut scene. "I was like, 'Ridley: Kiss on the forehead, did you like it? Yay or nay?' There was radio silence for a second. His radio crackles back, and [Ridley] goes, 'I'm afraid I did.'"

How Anna Sitar Built A Community of 12M Followers By Creating Unique Content and Staying True to Herself

Adobe Photoshop
creativity tool

Whether she’s choosing the perfect ‘fit for a movie premiere, choreographing a music video, running a marathon, or sparking viral TikTok trends like “I don’t want it,” Anna Sitar brings authenticity, humor, and a genuine positivity to everything she does. It’s no wonder she has built a community of nearly 12 million followers on TikTok, or as she calls them, “friends,” and more than a million on Instagram.

Anna has always been passionate about staying true to herself and maintaining authenticity in her content creation. By doing so, she’s fostered a community that connects with her genuine self. Over time, she’s discovered various tools and techniques that help her share her best creative ideas with her audience. Anna attributes her ability to bring her creative visions to life in a way that represents her, to having full creative control when working with tools like Photoshop.

www.tiktok.com

Replying to @laurenashleygibbs ask and you shall receive 👀 spooky season is upon us so unleash that creativity with @Photoshop !! Update or download Photoshop using the link in my bio. #AdobePhotoshopPartner

10 million new friends

Anna first learned about Photoshop in high school. It fueled her passion for bringing her creative visions to life. Then, at the beginning of her grad school career, an exciting new opportunity to express herself came along when a friend told her about this new app called TikTok that was blowing up.

Anna was getting a masters in film and television production in Los Angeles, which, she says, “was a full 180 switch” after graduating in 2019 with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering.

“My mom and dad always instilled in me that you should take chances while you're young,” says Anna, who has always had a passion for multimedia.

She started playing around and making content on TikTok that felt natural to her creativity and sense of humor. Six months later, COVID hit, and she was sent back home to Michigan to study online.

“I was like, ‘you know what? I should really try this TikTok thing,” Anna recalls. It marked the beginning of her journey to establish herself as a content creator and commit to producing content consistently on the platform. She started doing fashion and makeup GRWM videos, and. music became a big inspiration for her during this. “I would create morning musicals where I make a music video out of my morning routine. Then, I started making these “I don't want it” videos,” she recalls, which ultimately took off as a major social trend.

While she says she was “mentally, physically, and emotionally prepared to be some director's assistant for the next 10 years,” before she knew it, she had over 10 million friends on the app.

“It was such an incredible way to not only connect with people, but to share creativity and feel so freely self-expressive too. I'm so happy to be here,” she says. “TikTok reignited that creativity that I had as a kid,” she told us.

out with brat summer, in with feral girl fall 🍂 whats your aesthetic this fall? @Photoshop #adobephotoshoppartner

It’s all about the (creative) process

Anna admits that she’s not really a planner. “My mom always jokes, ‘I get my best ideas when I'm sleeping,’ and I feel the same way,” she says. Her creative process always starts with whatever inspires her when she wakes up in the morning. Then she’s able to turn a creative idea into something that’s fun and silly and resonates with her audiences. And that’s why she works with tools like Photoshop, the ultimate image editing and design app, that lets her bring her creativity to life at the speed of her imagination whenever and whenever her inspiration strikes.

“Photoshop allows me to just have such creative freedom. It's such a powerful app and allows me to not only have precision and creative control, but it lets me bring ideas in my head to life. I love that it's something that connects all of us,” she says.

She’s able to take a photo or video and elevate it in a way that makes it even more beautiful and powerful than it was before. Photoshop can be used in so many ways during the creative process beyond photo editing – creating mood boards to kick off the creative process, graphic design for marketing and even for storyboards for videos. Photoshop has a diverse set of features that help with inspiration too. So what is her latest obsession with Photoshop?

“I'm obsessed with making collages – that's my new little love right now in life,” she says. When we spoke, she was getting ready for a spec shoot, and using Photoshop to put all of her ideas in one place, making sure colors worked well together and idealizing and expanding images. She was focused on building the flow of her video through inspirational imagery, so she could execute the perfect setups, fashion, theme and a plan to film her video. As a creator, she doesn’t just shoot and post, but loves to get creative with tools like Photoshop to bring a larger concept to life. “I love that I have an app that just allows me to expand further from just taking a photo and posting it on Instagram versus really bringing different ideas to life,” she adds.

Anna Sitar

Social media Dos and Don’ts

Anna is known for herrefreshing down-to-earth personality – you can feel it throughout her content. She’s really just herself and living her best life.

“Authenticity is an absolute DO,” she says. But that doesn’t mean you have to focus on just one aspect of yourself. “People often say to try to fit into a niche and I disagree. I don't think you should make content that's catered toward one idea. I think that YOU are the exciting idea, and everything that you have – all of these passions and things that you love – are a mosaic of what makes you creative,” she adds.

Another major DO? Finding the creative tools that most authentically support your content creation process. As an avid Photoshop user from a young age, Anna has continued to utilize the app for creative design across her channels to create content that is undeniably HER, without limits.

For all the chatter about posting multiple times a day to gain an audience, you might be surprised by Anna’s Don’ts. “You make your best content when you feel creative and when you feel like posting and making things that you're enjoying. If you're in a creative block, one, two, three days of rest are actually only going to benefit you in the long run,” she says. And along the lines of authenticity, “don't feel the need to make what everybody else is making to make something good,” she adds.

Adobe Photoshop tips and tricks

Anna has had a passion for photography since childhood. “I loved making little home movies out of our family vacations, and I grew up really loving photography,” she says. Photoshop is a tool that seamlessly fits into her life as a professional and in her day-to-day.

“I think when people think Photoshop, they think, ‘oh my gosh, I have to be doing these major changes to whatever I'm creating.’ But the truth is, I really do use it for everything from my Instagram post for my podcast page to giving a photo a different color scheme, or resizing or creating a little collage to inspire whatever I want to do next,” she says.

While talking about her community, Anna mentioned how much her Instagram community loves the black and white posters she creates withPhotoshop. “Even for the simplest tasks, the first app that I reach for is Photoshop. I really enjoy having an app that makes me feel like I can have my creativity at my fingertips. It has so many uses beyond just being a tool for elite creatives. It really is a great app for day-to-day life as well,” she adds.

Anna Sitar

Finding inspiration as a creator

As a creator, it can be easy to live your life online. Anna avoids that way of life and it makes her content even stronger for it. “When you're on a phone all the time and creating content, it's so easy to get lost in filming 90 percent of your life, and filming every time you go to a coffee shop, every time you have a hang out with a friend, every time you wear a good outfit that you're proud of. But my greatest inspiration comes from actually what I'm truly firsthand living and not documenting my life. And then the lessons that I learned and the things that I see and the value that brings to my life is only further elevating the content that I make,” she says.

Anna’s advice

If you’re someone who aspires to have a creative outlet, Anna has some advice for you.“Even if it's little baby steps that you take a photo every single day, or you make a video every single day, or you brainstorm every single day, I think action is the best way that you're going to learn,” she says.

Anna also recommends doing what she does, tinker with different tools and apps, this helps make her content shine. “You can learn so much by just testing out different features to edit photos, different ways to expand and add text and ways to make your creativity really come to life,” she says

“I think the best advice is to play and do what makes you happy."

Thanks Anna! Learn more about how Adobe Photoshop empowers big and small businesses to create without limits.

Brandon Sklenar Is Somehow Cuter Than Ever In His New Movie

There are few things in our daily lives as horrifying as a first date with a stranger. Usually, the best case scenario is you show up to an agreed meeting place, hit it off, want to go out again, and maybe even fall in love. That is, assuming you're not getting catfished and they're not a crazy person. Well, in Meghann Fahy's new thriller, she finds herself on the perfect first date that takes a turn for the terrifying when an anonymous stranger starts tormenting her...and then instructs her to kill her date. Now the question remains: will she follow through, or will this would-be couple make it to dessert?

Here's everything know about Drop, starring Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar.


Watch 'The Drop' trailer now!

The first thing I have to call out about The Drop trailer is that Brandon Sklenar just keeps getting cuter. How is this possible?! He and Meghann Fahy have chemistry the moment he steps onscreen which makes this whole movie concept — you know, that Meghann's character is told she has to kill him — even more intriguing. And Sabrina Carpenter playing in the background? An inspired choice.

I want to believe that both Violet and Henry make it out of the story alive...but things aren't looking too hopeful for either of them.

What is the movie Drop about?

HBO

Drop Plot

In Drop, widowed mother Violet (Meghann Fahy) is literally so relieved when her date with Henry goes well. He's handsome and charismatic, and she's enjoying their time together — until an unknown number starts dropping anonymous instructions to her phone. Now, Violet has to play it cool while following her new contact's instructions or her kids will pay the price. There's just one problem: the final instruction is to kill Henry.

When is Drop coming out?

Drop Release Date

Drop hits theaters April 11, 2025. The Blumhouse film is from Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky), is written by Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach, and is produced by Jason Blum, Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Cameron Fuller. The movie's also executive produced by Sam Lerner.

Who's in the Drop cast?

HBO

Drop Cast

The cast of Drop includes Meghann Fahy, Brandon Sklenar, Violett Beane, Jacob Robinson, Reed Diamond, Gabrielle Ryan, Jeffery Self, Ed Weeks, and Travis Nelson.

See The New Drop Poster!

Blumhouse/Universal Pictures

The poster for Drop definitely gets my adrenaline pumping — and I love Meghann Fahy's glam eyeshadow & manicure paired with the terror in her eyes. Because, duh, of course this Emmy-nominted actress can act with her eyes like nobody's business. And the bold red of the graphic design? Chef's kiss.

10 Questions I Need 'Severance' Season 2 To Answer After That Bombshell First Episode

Severanceis the beautiful question mark of a show I'm so happy to come back to...but honestly what the heck is going on?! The hit Apple TV+ show returned last week, and I really need some answers after that bombshell season 1 finale and that season 2 opener. From the scary numbers to that "She's alive!" moment to what the heck is going on with Helly, there's a LOT I wanna understand.

So, if you're like me, here are all the questions I'm dying for Severance season 2 to answer...ASAP. (Oh, and major spoiler alert!)

Scroll to see all the questions I hope Severance actually answers this season!

Apple TV+

1. Seriously, what is the data they're refining?

The "scary" numbers have to be addressed. We've watched them wiggle on screen, being dragged to their little boxes and "refined" — but what are these numbers? And why do they need to be refined? And what does refining them actually do? I really need to know!

Apple TV+

2. What's the deal with the goats?

No, but will we ever get an explanation for those? It felt so random? I can't stop thinking about them?

Apple TV+

3. Is Gemma actually alive?

Mark's "She's alive!" moment in season 1 was very Dr. Frankenstein, so it made me wonder...is Gemma actually alive? Or is something more sinister going on there? Did they fake her death before Mark decided to get severed? Is she actually a reanimated corpse? Is all this a ploy to ultimately reanimate (and essentially resurrect) the Egans? Where is Gemma?!

Apple TV+

4. What was Irving painting? And why?

When Innie Irving entered Outie Irving's life, he was painting a dark hallway at Lumon that lead to an elevator. Where is that hallway? And why would his Outie know about the inner workings of Lumon? What does it all mean?!

Apple TV+

5. Why did the "Innies" decide to return to Lumon?

After everything they went through, it seems odd to me that all four Innies would find their way back to the office.

Apple TV+

6. Why did Helly R lie?

When all the Innies got together to talk about what they saw on the outside, Helly R made it a point to lie about what she saw — or rather, who she is. Did she lie because she doesn't want her friends to know she's actually an Eagan? Or did she lie because she's actually Outie Helly going undercover? Or something else I haven't even thought of?!

Apple TV+

7. How long has it actually been since the uprising?

Mr. Milchick told them it'd been five months since the rebellion, but I'm not so sure. Why would Lumon suddenly be honest with the Innies? How could they prove that time has actually passed? Why does it feel like the rebellion happened and suddenly they're just back?

Apple TV+

8. No, but why was Ms. Cobel so obsessed with Mark?

Lumon clearly used this as a scapegoat for Ms. Cobel getting fired, but it is really weird that she was so clued into Mark specifically. Why not any of the other Innies? Is it solely because of whatever is going on with Gemma? Is there something special about him? I need answers!

Apple TV+

9. What was that flash of Gemma on Mark's computer?

Does this tell us anything about the data they're refining? Is Mark refining Gemma's data? Did that flash even actually happen? WHAT is going on?!

Apple TV+

10. WHY is a child working there?!

No, but actually...why? Where did this child come from? And what is she doing here? And aren't there child labor laws that prevent this kind of thing?
