Crown Media Little Jack on When Calls the Heart
Hallmark’s hit series, “When Calls the Heart,” recently announced that Little Jack had been recast and the Taylor twins (Lincoln and Gunnar Taylor) would not be resuming the role for season 9. The twins finally shared an official statement on the decision via their social media account, which is run by their mother.
The Twins Said They Needed a Break From Filming
In an Instagram post, the twins shared: “Words out – Taylor twins have taken the year off of filming and even though we miss our WCTH family, we will never forget the three years we spent on set. We can not wait to see our new friend Hyland on the show and look forward to meeting him! This is not goodbye – it’s see you later ❤️”
Erin Krakow (Elizabeth) replied,” You’ll always be a part of our @wcth_tv family! ❤️❤️❤️”
The account replied to Krakow, writing: “LOVE YOU!!!”
Danette Whitman replied, “We will miss you both! Please keep posting so we can continue to see our adorable little guys growing! Much love to your family!”
The twins’ account promised to keep posting and sharing updates.
They’ve already shared a post since making the announcement.
They shared a cute Christmas photo for fans to enjoy.
On October 8, they shared a cute photo while they were visiting baby goats.
On October 1, before the announcement was made, they shared a then-and-now photo showing themselves in what appeared to be a season 8 costume, compared to their first season on the show.
On July 22, they shared a photo on set when filming for season 9 had just started, standing in front of a Little Jack trailer.
