Hello there, Hearties! Long time, no see! And that is completely my fault. My schedule just EXPLODED last week, so a few things fell through the cracks; Iâm sorry. At least I was still visible with the Signed Sealed Delivered podcast, âDeliver Me a Podcastâ, but it feels like forever since Iâve been able to write anything When Calls the Heart related.
So, since itâs #WonderWednesday, letâs talk about something weâre all wondering about. This morning, our wonderful Papa Heartie, Mr. Brian Bird, posted this very pot-stirring picture with this caption, âUh⊠HeartiesâŠmy heart is in my throatâŠand I canât get it to go back where it belongs. Wow.â

That doesnât stir our WCTH appetite at all, does it? Only times 1,000! My friend, podcasting partner, and fellow Heartie Kaycee Simpson started having some fun with it. So, I thought Iâd share it with you, plus a few switch-ups and embellishments. But the core idea was all her!

The title of this script is âHonestly, Elizabethâ. How many contexts can that one phrase have? Only about a million! But Kaycee and I have been exploring how this particular phrase can accompany different meanings with different characters. Letâs ponder this, shall we?
How would Rosemary use âHonestly, Elizabethâ? How about something like this: âHonestly, Elizabeth, this dance has gone on long enough! Just make a choice.â
This one with Lee can actually turn into a short conversation.
Lee: Honestly, Elizabeth, when ARE you going to build that house Jack planned on your land?
Elizabeth: When are YOU going to build Rosemary the biggest house in Hope Valley? Or her theater?
Lee: Touché.
Bill: Honestly, Elizabeth, I need more quality time with the little man, here. So why donât you go out on a date with Nathan so I can?
Nathan: Honestly, Elizabeth, stop walking away, and let me kiss you!
Allie: Honestly, Elizabeth, I mean, Mrs. Thornton, canât you see Uncle Nathan is the best choice?
Lucas: Honestly, Elizabeth, Iâve taken you on two non-dates, and gave you the library. Canât you understand Iâll do whatever it takes to win your heart.
Fiona: Honestly, Elizabeth, what job do you think I should take next? I want your opinion.
Ned Yost: Honestly, Elizabeth, youâre not pregnant anymore. These grocery choices need help.
Florence: Honestly, Elizabeth, I canât believe youâre even considering that Mr. Bouchard. His choices areâŠquite provocative.
Molly: Honestly, Elizabeth, this whole situation is bordering on scandalous.
Henry: Honestly, Elizabeth, is Abigail still back East?
Little Jack: Honestwy, Ewizabef, Mama, I want cookie!
Mike: Honestly, Elizabeth, can you really not see that Iâve been crazy about you all this time?
Carson: Honestly, Elizabeth, thereâs no diagnosis for this situation. Youâre on your own.
Faith: Honestly, Elizabeth, Iâll be home in 3 weeks; weâll talk then.
Clara: Honestly, Elizabeth, the cooking is perfectly under control for the café. So, tell Bill no goulash! Have some pie.
Jesse: Honestly, Elizabeth, if it hadnât been for you, I wouldnât have gotten anywhere in Leeâs office. Thank you!
Opal: Honestly, Mrs. Thornton, Mountie Jack would want you to be happy.
Jack: Honestly, Elizabeth, I love you with all my heart, but you have so much to give. Please, find love again.
Well, now we just need to wait a few months, (okay several!) before we see how accurate any of these are. What are YOUR thoughts on what people would say? Comments on the blog are still glitchy, so please comment your thoughts on the post itself.
And one more thing: keep your eyes open. Thereâs a very special WCTH podcast coming your way in September. But thatâs all youâre getting out of me for the time. Just keep Wednesdays open. And with that, I bid you good night! This is Hooked Heartie, signing off. May your heart let your hope blossom!
