While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Andrea teased that the crew came up with some creative ways to hide her bump behind objects while filming.
“This is the second time I’ve shot a season of When Calls the Heart while pregnant and I am forever grateful to Hallmark Channel, our writers, showrunner, directors and producers for all of their continued support,” she told the outlet.
Andrea then added a shoutout to the “talented costume designer, Barbara Gregusova, for her genius costume designs, and to our stellar camera department who always ensure I’m hitting the right angles in my scenes. My hair and makeup artists, Jill Tymos and Denean Dale, are also forever coming up with interesting hair and makeup strategies to distract the eye.”
She then joked that fans can actually make a drinking game around spotting her bump on screen.
“For those planning to watch season 10 of When Calls the Heart, there is definitely some drinking game potential for any hearties wanting to play ‘Watch Faith Carter hide her midsection,’” she said. “I wish I could list all the creative ways we’ve hid the bump, but I don’t want to give away any spoilers!”
Andrea was also pregnant during season 7 of the show. She later welcomed her elder child, a daughter named Viola in 2019.
