And trust me, we are very strong in the demos that matter to us,” he tweeted at the time. “My optimism is not misplaced. May I suggest, stop fretting and speculating and embrace the optimism with me? Just my two cents.”

He added that When Calls the Heart “consistently generates the highest ratings” for Hallmark Channels and he sees a “long run” for the show.

And #WCTH consistently generates the highest ratings for scripted series on Sunday nights the last several seasons… so I like the #Hearties chances for a good long run in #HopeValley.”
