The Unexpected Pivot: From Hope Valley to Taylor Sheridan's Landman
For years, Kayla Wallace was synonymous with the charming telephone operator, Fiona Miller, on the family-friendly drama When Calls the Heart (WCTH). However, her recent casting in the gritty, high-stakes Paramount+ series Landman, created by Yellowstone mastermind Taylor Sheridan, represents a major, unexpected shift in her career trajectory. This move instantly places her in a different sphere of television drama and has generated significant buzz.
In Landman, Wallace plays Rebecca Savage, a character described as a "hard-charging, take-no-prisoners lawyer" in the oil-rich world of West Texas. This role is a stark contrast to the period drama of Hope Valley, demanding a more intense and complex performance. Her character, Rebecca Falcone, is a powerful figure who is often underestimated, allowing Wallace to showcase a new, fierce side of her acting talent.
The series, which premiered in late 2024, has already been renewed, with Landman Season 2 set to return in late 2025, confirming Wallace’s commitment to the new project and her place in the Taylor Sheridan universe. This professional pivot is a clear signal of Wallace’s ambition to expand her range beyond the romantic roles she is widely known for on the Hallmark Channel.
A Hallmark Fairytale Come True: Marriage and Pregnancy in 2025
While her career is taking a dramatic turn, Kayla Wallace’s personal life has reached a peak of romantic bliss, providing the freshest and most exciting updates for her fans, affectionately known as 'Hearties.' The relationship between Wallace and her WCTH co-star, Kevin McGarry (who plays Nathan Grant), began years ago on the set of the show, but their recent milestones have cemented their status as one of Hollywood's most popular real-life couples.
The September 2024 Wedding
After a period of engagement, the couple confirmed in September 2024 that they had officially married. The news was confirmed at a Hallmark event, where the former co-stars were celebrated as current spouses. Their on-screen chemistry, which was palpable in their shared Hallmark movies like My Grown-Up Christmas List and Feeling Butterflies, has now translated into a beautiful, enduring real-life partnership.
The Pregnancy Announcement
Following their wedding, the couple shared the joyous news that they are expecting their first baby, announcing the pregnancy on Instagram. This personal update has been met with an outpouring of support from fans and fellow actors, making 2025 a year of new beginnings in every sense for the talented actress. The arrival of their first child will undoubtedly bring a new, exciting dynamic to their lives and careers, with both actors navigating parenthood alongside their demanding television schedules.
What Does Kayla Wallace’s Future Look Like for WCTH and Hallmark?
Kayla Wallace’s move to Landman and her subsequent pregnancy have raised natural questions about her future with the Hallmark Channel and, specifically, her fan-favorite role as Fiona Miller on When Calls the Heart. While she stepped away from the main cast to pursue her new dramatic role, the door has been left open for her return.
Wallace has teased the possibility of a return to Hope Valley, suggesting that the character of Fiona Miller could certainly make a comeback. The show’s narrative has allowed for characters to leave and return, and with her marriage to McGarry, the connection to the WCTH cast and crew remains strong. Furthermore, the actress is still a major part of the Hallmark family, with her previous movies continuing to air and new projects potentially on the horizon, though her focus for late 2024 and 2025 is clearly split between her new series and her impending motherhood.
In summary, Kayla Wallace has successfully transitioned from a beloved supporting Hallmark star to a lead actress in a major dramatic series while simultaneously building a family with her co-star husband. Her 2025 is defined by growth, change, and the exciting balance of a high-profile career and a beautiful personal life.
