Furthermore, she reprised he role as Abigail Stanton in When Hope Calls, a spin-off series for When Calls the Heart. She was fired from the original show for her involvement in the scandal.
During an interview with FRIST for Women, Loughlin opened up about her post-scandal life. “Every day we’re met with different obstacles, but it’s all in how you approach things,” she said. “For me, it’s just persevering, and as an actress, I hear ‘no’ a lot, so I just have to be myself and persevere and try not to let in negativity.”
While talking about forgiveness, she said, “I try to be a forgiving person. I’m not one to hold onto stuff. Stuff happens to everyone. We’ve all been in positions to ask for forgiveness, but to ask for it, you have to learn and know how to give forgiveness, too.”
