Ever since the pair tied the knot in season 3, fans of
When Calls the Heart have been eagerly waiting for the Coulters to expand their brood. While many hearties had their fingers crossed that a Coulter cutie would appear in season 8, we instead saw the couple focus on their individual careers: Lee announced his run for mayor while Rosemary started the town newspaper.
ET spoke with series stars Pascale Hutton and Kavan Smith about their characters’ plans for starting a family (whether naturally or through adoption), why they’re “definitely championing” this potential storyline in season 9 and what it would take to make it happen. Plus, the actors react to the season 8 finale bombshell: Elizabeth’s decision to set Nathan free and pursue a romance with Lucas.
