‘When Calls the Heart’ Stars Tease a Challenge That Will ‘Shatter’ Elizabeth & Nathan

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for When Calls the Heart Season 12 Episode 6 “When Autumn Leaves Begin to Fall.”]

Everyone gets sick now and again — even Elizabeth Thornton (Erin Krakow). During the February 8 episode of When Calls the Heart, our favorite Hope Valley school teacher suffered from a head cold, which caused her to have some interesting (and very swoonworthy) Nathan-heavy fever dreams.

Krakow told Swooon that the fever dream sequences were a “really unique opportunity” for her and costar Kevin McGarry. “We’ve been playing these characters for many years now, and to get to see them in such a different light was really enjoyable, and hopefully enjoyable for the fans as well.”
