The Surprise Visit That Stunned Hope Valley
It was supposed to be just another Thursday. Tyler Hynes decided to mix things up by dropping by the When Calls the Heart set.
He showed up in a vintage racing jacket, Adidas track pants, a baseball cap, and aviator sunglasses. Definitely a contrast to the early 1900s costumes everyone else was wearing.
His entrance didn’t go unnoticed. Crew members called out, “Look who’s in Hope Valley!” and Hynes couldn’t resist joking, “There’s a new sheriff in town!”

Erin Krakow, who plays schoolteacher Elizabeth Thatcher, was genuinely caught off guard. Hynes found her at the town library set, hanging out with co-stars Kevin McGarry and Jaeda Lily Miller.
Her surprise was obvious. They snapped a few photos—Krakow in a green, floral dress, Hynes grinning in awe at the set.
He admitted, “I’m a little starstruck. I’m looking at the famous When Calls the Heart. We’re in the 1800s.” You can almost hear the excitement.
