Many fans of the network, however, seem to think they’ve found the perfect solution.

Many fans of Hallmark Channel’s popular series “When Calls the Heart” are wondering who will replace Lori Loughlin following the college admissions schemes revelations — and some on social media are rooting for one TV sweetheart.

Loughlin, 54, best known as Aunt Becky in the late ’80s sitcom “Full House” and then the Netflix reboot “Fuller House,” was given the ax by Hallmark after she found herself entangled in the bombshell scandal back in March. A rep for Crown Media – the umbrella group that includes the Hallmark Channel – confirmed to Fox News that the company has cut ties with the actress.

So who are people rooting for?

Lisa Whelchel, of “The Facts of Life”

CONFESSION: I’ve never heard of her, or the show.

Lisa has responded to the murmurs… and she seems very open to it.

According to Fox News:

“It’s very flattering that they would think of me, and I do appreciate that and I love the Hallmark Channel,” Whelchel, 55, told Fox News. “They have great movies, and my son works on the “Home & Family” show. It’s a wonderful network and it would be a privilege to continue to work with them because I’ve done a couple of movies for them already.”

“I would certainly consider it, sure,” added Whelchel.

But these days, Whelchel is already busy with another series that’s close to her heart. She’s the host of MeTV’s first original series, titled “Collector’s Call.” It explores some of the biggest collectors of pop culture memorabilia across the country. For the show, Whelchel enlists the help of professional appraisers and experts to put an estimated value on the collection’s worth.

That’s THRILLING and all, but yeah. Take the movie role, darlin’.
