What to expect in Season 12 of When Calls the Heart?

In When Calls the Heart season 12, fans might get to see more about Nathan and Elizabeth being in love. The show might also focus on the problems Governor Bouchard faces while he's in charge. Another significant plot point might arise from the question of if Hope Valley and Benson Hills will come together under a new name, or stick with their old ones.

Viewers will also catch up with Rosemary and Lee Coulter as they try to keep their businesses running while taking care of their family. It'll be interesting to see if putting family first affects their work.

The season might potentially deal with the questions of whether Joseph will make up with his brother Jacob, who was responsible for shooting Lucas, and will Mike Hickam and Mei decide to stay together or not. Other potential storylines might answer the questions of whether Faith will officially adopt Lily, and if Henry will visit Abigail again or stay on his own in Hope Valley.
