We went to school together. It’s revealed gradually over the first episode that I had a pretty intense crush on him, and I assumed he didn’t even know I existed — but the feeling was mutual. The question now is, in this investigation and working together, are we going to fall in love? Are we going to have a romance? It’ll be fun to see how it unfolds.” Melissa has only filmed two episodes for the show. However, she told the outlet that she’d be interested in returning. “I would love to see what happens with Bill and Georgie going forward, because it is left as a romantic cliffhanger — will-they, won’t-they? Are they, aren’t they?” she said. If you missed it, Melissa recently put someone on blast over complaints about a planned Little House on the Prairie reboot. Find out where When Calls the Heart falls on the list of Hallmark Channel’s 10 best shows.
