LOS ANGELES, June 3 (UPI) — Lori Loughlin refuses to wear a corset for When Calls the Heart.
The 50-year-old actress recently discussed the Hallmark Channel period drama with People. The series is currently in its second season, and stars Loughlin as early 20th century coal mine widow Abigail Stanton.
“They try every season to put me in a corset and I say, ‘Okay, I’ll try it,’ and I really, honestly, only make it lunchtime and then I have to take it off because I can’t breathe,” she told the magazine.
When Calls the Heart follows teacher Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow) as she establishes herself in the small community and develops a relationship with Mountie Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing). Loughlin expressed appreciation for the show’s strong female characters in the interview.
“[The series features] women that are independent, women that are working,” she shared. “It seems like it’s the beginning of the women’s movement, and I think that’s all relatable to today … Women are becoming stronger and are more independent and leaning on each other.”
When Calls the Heart airs Saturdays at 8 p.m. ET. In addition to the period drama, Loughlin will appear on Full House reboot Fuller House in 2016. The actress confirmed she will reprise Aunt Becky for the upcoming Netflix series last week.
