Pascale Hutton is already planning Elizabeth and Nathan’s future When Calls the Heart wedding — even in the event that they aren’t engaged.
“I might adore it if Rosemary was going [to] be the officiant,” Hutton, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her latest Hallmark Mystery, Nelly Knows Mysteries: A Fatal Engagement, premiering on Friday, August 23.
Hutton has played Elizabeth Thornton’s (Erin Krakow) best friend, Rosemary Coulter, on When Calls the Heart since 2014. Despite their solid bond, the actress said she doesn’t “foresee” Rosemary marrying Elizabeth and Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry), irrespective of what season the nuptials happen.
“I feel like Joseph (Viv Leacock) is a solid pastor and he could handle that well,” Hutton explained, noting that she thinks Rosemary would “be more of like a maid of honor and helping plan the entire thing.”
The Hallmark star identified that Rosemary was “instrumental in helping Elizabeth plan her wedding to Jack” during season 5. (Jack, who was played by Daniel Lissing, died through the season 5 finale after he was trapped by a landslide.)
“She all the time has her girlfriend’s back,” Hutton said of the 2 characters. “She’s all the time gonna be there. I foresee she could be a marriage planner slash maid of honor.”
Kavan Smith, who portrays Rosemary’s husband, Leland Coulter, exclusively told Us that his role in Elizabeth and Nathan’s possible wedding can be much smaller.
“Le seems to befriend everybody on the town, except he hasn’t really spent an entire lot of time with Nathan yet. Which is odd,” Smith, 54, confessed. “I’m not assuming that Le would have a big role in that wedding moving forward, but I’m definitely open to them pursuing that relationship on camera.”
Smith joked, “As of immediately, Le could be ushering people to their seats. That’s about it!”
Nathan and Elizabeth have been toying with one another’s hearts — and people of the loyal fans — since season 8 when Nathan professed his love for Elizabeth. While Elizabeth selected Lucas Bouchard (Chris McNally) over Nathan on the time, she and Lucas eventually split in season 10.
When season 11 began, Elizabeth and Nathan seemed to be back on the right track to having their very own happily ever after. Throughout the season finale in June, Elizabeth and Nathan went public with their romance after sharing a kiss.
“It’s a little bit of a honeymoon phase,” Krakow, 39, exclusively told Us in June. McGarry, also 39, teased, “They’re in a brand latest phase,” but explained a TV wedding might be a great distance down the road.
McGarry joked, “It took five years to get to the kiss, so I mean, we got a number of time to ascertain what this wedding [is] going to appear to be. I’ll say if and when it happens — when and if it happens — I hope it’s special to them.”
While a season 12 wedding has not been announced, Hutton told Us in August that Rosemary and Elizabeth will once more share many scenes this season.
“We’ve only just filmed the primary two episodes and already I’m considering, ‘Holy cow. Rosemary has quite a bit occurring,’” she dished to Us, revealing that Rosemary and Bill Avery (Jack Wagner) will “team up” to resolve one other mystery when the show returns.
Rosemary and Elizabeth, meanwhile, “have a extremely comic story line where I feel there’s gonna be some really fun physical comedy involved,” she said.
Hutton noted that Rosemary and Le could have an “interesting dynamic” in addition to they enter a “latest type of territory of their marriage.”
Ahead of season 12 of WCTH, fans can see Hutton and Smith costarring of their first Hallmark Mystery film, Nelly Knows Mysteries: A Fatal Engagement. Hutton plays busybody and native advice columnist Nelly Parker.
After finding a dead body in her quirky town, Nelly helps latest detective, Michael Hogan (Smith), solve the crime and get used to the obscure nature of Babbleton — which provides off retro vibes.
“I feel [there are] type of layers of intrigue into this character,” Hutton told Us of Nelly. “Hopefully there might be more movies and individuals are invested on this character and wanting to learn more about her because she’s not only one dimensional.”
Smith revealed that Hutton’s character is “right in her wheelhouse” because Nelly is “type of quirky the best way [Hutton] likes to be.” His character, nonetheless, is somewhat harder to play.
“Because Michael’s still latest to the town, he doesn’t interact the identical way with the opposite forged of characters. So, the hope can be that over time we’d get to ascertain somewhat bit more of what Michael is,” he explained, noting that he thought the Nelly Knows Mysteries idea was a no brainer for the longtime friends. “I just thought we could kill it. I assumed this might be a house run for us.”
Nelly Knows Mysteries: A Fatal Engagement premieres on Hallmark Mystery Friday, August 23, at 9 p.m. ET.
