Lori Loughlin is stepping back into the spotlight after years marked by legal troubles and personal upheaval. According to reports from Fox News Digital, the actress is preparing for a long-awaited return to Hallmark, where she will reprise her role as Abigail Stanton in When Calls the Heart. It’s a significant moment for the star, who has spent recent years rebuilding her public image after the Varsity Blues scandal. Despite a challenging period that included a two-month prison stay, public scrutiny, and a recent separation from her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, Lori Loughlin is showing determination to move forward. Experts say the timing is right for a comeback, especially as audiences have become more forgiving and cancel culture has softened. Her return to her familiar Hallmark roots may help reestablish the wholesome persona she was once known for.
