In 2018, Daniel Lissing shocked fans of the beloved Hallmark series "When Calls the Heart" by exiting the show. Known for his role as Jack Thornton, a dedicated Mountie and the romantic interest of schoolteacher Elizabeth Thornton, played by Erin Krakow, Lissing's departure left a significant impact on the series and its viewers.

Lissing joined "When Calls the Heart" when it first aired in 2014, quickly becoming a fan favorite. His character, Jack, brought a sense of integrity and charm to the fictional town of Hope Valley. Over the course of five seasons, fans watched Jack and Elizabeth's love story blossom, culminating in their marriage. However, this happiness was shortlived as Jack met a tragic end in the final episodes of Season 5, leaving Elizabeth a widow and expectant mother. #WCTH #DanielLissing #ErinKrakow
