Fans of the historical drama, When Calls the Heart, are gearing up for the release of the series' 2018 Christmas movie. They're excited about what's in store for Erin Krakow's character, Elizabeth Thornton, but that excitement is tempered because Elizabeth will be raising a child without her husband, Mountie Jack Thornton.

The new Laurel Lance described Earth 2's Felicity as ruthless and a woman who runs her own empire. Both of which are the polar opposite of the woman we've known for the past six seasons. And Black Siren has us more than a little intrigued.

Here's Why the Reboot with the Most Fan Disappointment Goes to 'Charmed'
Charmed, the television show about magic, witches, warlocks, and sisters, has never left fans' minds. Even though the series ended in 2006, it's never really been gone since it continues to air on Netflix, the DVDs still sell strong, and the graphic novels continued the Halliwell sisters' stories until 2016. In fact, those graphic novels delivered story lines that could work well on televisions screen in reuniting Piper, Prue, Phoebe, and Paige.

'Arrow': Will the Writers Redeem Team B or Expect Fans to Forget the Betrayal?
When Arrow ended its sixth season in May, Green Arrow was working alongside Mr. Terrific, Black Canary, and Wild Dog once again in an effort to bring down Ricardo Diaz. Viewers didn't know Oliver had brokered a deal with the FBI for help, and while the fighting raged on, he issued apologies to the members of Team B, as referred to by the fans (or Not Team Arrow). Needless to say, Oliver's words didn't sit well with faithful viewers who have been wanting to see this team erased from the Arrowverse.
