Melissa Gilbert To Guest Star In Hallmark’s ‘When Calls The Heart’ Season 12


Melissa Gilbert is set to guest star in a two-episode arc on Season 12 of the long-running series 'When Calls the Heart' from the Hallmark Channel.

The opportunity to join the series arose through executive producer Michael Landon Jr., who connected with the veteran actress at the Little House on the Prairie 50th Anniversary Cast Reunion and Festival held earlier this year. “When Calls the Heart has long drawn comparisons to Little House on the Prairie, for its charming and compelling stories of hope, human connection and frontier survival,” said Kelly Garrett, vice president of Hallmark Media programming. Her other credits include The Miracle Worker(for which she garnered her Emmy nod), Sweet Justice(opposite Cicely Tyson) and Secrets and Lies, an ABC drama that starred Ryan Phillippe, Juliette Lewis and Michael Ealy.
