<p id=”par-7_67″><em>When Hope Calls </em>is a small-town drama focused on an orphanage. In season 2, Nora Anderson (Busby) arrived in town to <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/when-hope-calls-season-2-premiere-cindy-busby-connection-morgan-kohan-lillian.html/”>reunite with her long-lost niece</a> and ended up taking over running the orphanage. In the cliffhanger finale, Nora – who was previously a lawyer in San Francisco – learned that she might have inadvertently participated in a crime by unknowingly helping another lawyer bribe a judge. </p>
<p id=”par-8_52″>“I see that storyline not going well,” Busby told <a href=”https://soaps.sheknows.com/soaps/news/781215/when-hope-calls-season-3/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Soaps.com</a>. “It’ll probably cause a lot of issues to come up for her … she’ll have to salvage her reputation and make people believe that she wasn’t trying to buy her way out of the legal system by doing things the wrong way.”</p>
<p id=”par-9_28″>But it’s not all bad news for Nora. There’s also her slow-burn romance with Mountie Michael Fletcher (Russell). Busby urged viewers to be patient as that relationship develops. </p>
<p id=”par-10_97″>“In these types of shows, it’s got that longevity feel, and therefore, you don’t want to give away everything right out of the gate. So you want things to be a slow burn, because that’s why people come back and watch the show,” she said. “A lot of these rom coms, like the movies I’ve been a part of for years, you only get the kiss at the end of the movie. That’s the gift you get. Do I see them getting together? Absolutely. Are there going to be many challenges along the way? Yes, there are.”</p>
