This is undoubtedly the most in-depth interview of Chris McNally out there. Really enjoyed hearing Chris speak of his varied interests. Love that he has a penchant for the finer things of life but is grounded & real at the same time. 🙂 Hats off to you to Paul for getting Chris to reveal so much and still leaving us feeling there is so much more to him . Now it's clear why Lucas has always come across as a character who has more layers than we have discovered. Chris McNally has managed to imbue some of his personality & complexity into Lucas making that character richer than what the script sets out to paint him. I believe great things await Chris and I'm excited for the world outside Hallmark to discover this man🤗

I love ❤️ Chris and Erin.I was always on team L/ E....they have so much chemistry and love ❤️ for each other. I wish Chris the best but don't want him to leave WCTH....they have a Happy Ever After and it feels like mine..if that makes sense...I just love ❤️ them..
Love Chris in " Sailing into Love"!! Frankly, it is my favorite Hallmark movie....cast, movie and script where wonderful.. scenery wonderful also. Music is fabulous it is well matched to the scenes in the movie. Please....more Chris McNally in Hallmark movies!!
Thank you Paul for having Chris in your podcast. He seems to be very humbled and dog lover...Chris I have always like you eversince The Sweetest Heart and am glad that Elizabeth chose you and forget the haters, they will go away with the wind.
I adore Chris McNally and the character of Lucas Bouchard! He's brought so much flair and charm to Hope Valley. Not only is the man devastatingly handsome, but he has a heart of gold and invests so much into Elizabeth's happiness. The chemistry between Chris and Erin is outstanding. I'm so excited to see what they do with Lucas & Elizabeth as a couple in Season 9!!
I truly enjoyed this interview. Chris McNally is even more charming than Lucas. So appreciative of this interview with this wise, empathetic, talented actor. Loved his discussion of light and space.
I have to add that Chris McNally is not only a talented actor, but he is what you might call "eye candy." Others might call him a "hunk." Whatever adjectives you prefer are okay. In any event, how could I neglect to address the fact that he is drop dead gorgeous!!!
*I had to add how surprised I was that Chris clearly feels the pain of the negativity from the Hearties. Refreshing to see him care so deeply but glad he’s able to laugh it off. I think Chris McNally is just adorable, which is creepy bc he looks a lot like my nephew! LOL I was thrilled he “won” the contest with Nathan. But if they had gone with Nathan, I would not be throwing the hate around. It’s a show! Chris is a good actor, but he’s still grounded, which I love. I personally wish he would share more details of his life, but I respect his decision. #TeamLucas Paul, you are a great interviewer!
Paul is spot on. The haters are a small number but loud. I think most fans love Lucas and Elizabeth together! Nathan is a great character but there is no denying the chemistry between Lucas & Elizabeth. Well written and well acted. A romance for the ages! Lucas is written and acted so perfectly. What a truly beautiful character inside and out!I just started watching the show this year..binged all the seasons. So wonderful. Love these characters..all of them! & Love this podcast Paul. Could listen to you read the phonebook!
Paul, this is one of the best interviews. Chris is such a gentle man, and this time with him was so enjoyable. He's such a classy guy. Thanks for bringing it to us. And, I do know his birthday! ❤
Chris McNally is such a well spoken, intelligent and lovely guy. It was genius casting him as Lucas on When Call The Heart. He has portrayed the sensitive, intriguing and complex character of Lucas so well. He and Erin Krakow really click on screen. So looking forward to season 9!
Perfect casting. I’ve followed Chris fir a couple uf years he has proven himself to be an excellent actor. Hopefully they will show Lucas and Elizabeth happy before introducing problems.
Wow, I can’t believe all the hate filled messages to Chris after the last episode! I was team Nathan and of course felt a bit disappointed that Elizabeth chose Lucas, but I never hated the character Lucas. I think the majority of us Hearties love Lucas therefore we love Chris!!!! Don’t let the hateful words get you down Chris!!!! Looking forward to season 9!!!!😃❤️💕
I like Chris and thought he should end up with Fiona. Still liked Nathan and Elizabeth. Especially since she his daughter looks for guidance from Elizabeth.
I don't understand how you were ignored all those years just from listening to you on this podcast you are not only gorgeous physically you are humble, an animal lover and a great actor. But I hear it's a tough road trying to break into show business. Some of those casting people are idiots the ones that ignored you in your beginning years were idiots. I know women are swooning over you I know that's an old-fashioned word but it's true. You show great range of emotions when you're acting n especially with your eyes. So glad I got to hear you talk about your life and what you went through. We wish you all the best and I know one day you're going to be in even more demand. 😃

I have looked at When Calls the Heart since it started like the clean internment and Hallmark’s century is always so beautiful and they pick the actors and I actresses to play the role the dress code and personal appearance
I've been Team Nathan since day one, and was crushed Elizabeth didn't chose him, but there is zero excuse for anyone blaming Chris or saying nasty things. Chris is wonderful, and Lucas is such a great guy! I look forward to seeing his and Elizabeth's relationship truly begin to unfold in Season 9. I hope that lots of Team Nathan #hearties will join me, Team Lucas, and other Hearties in watching and supporting Season 9. 💜
I appreciate this comment a great deal. I favored Lucas from the beginning. His stunning good looks probably factored in at first, but later I believed he was the right choice for so many reasons. I was moved to tears when Lucas selflessly "set her free." Anyways, the point I wanted to make is that I always knew it could go either way. She could have chosen Nathan and I knew that. While I would have been disappointed, I would NEVER have spewed negative comments about the writers or actors or anyone else for that matter. Kindness is a way better way to go, that's just what I believe. How much better to build one another up, instead of tearing each other apart! Thanks again for your comment.
Thanks for a thorough interview with Chris. He is quite unassuming and that is very charming. Hope you can come back to WCTH perhaps with a woman who is totally in sync with Carson. I have enjoyed many Hallmark movies with you Paul. Looking forward to S9 of WCTH and all the Elizabeth & Lucas scenes, plus what is coming up for many others.
Chris….Lucas was always my choice. I agree drama is needed because it makes you want more. Haters are always going to hate. No worries with them. You are doing a great job playing Lucas and Nathan will survive. ❤️❤️❤️ This was a great podcast! Thanks Paul & Chris!!
Loved this interview with Chris.... thanks Paul! Absolutely love Lucas in WCTH and can see now why- Chris has put so much of himself into the character!! Also love Chris in all his Hallmark Movies and hope to see him in many more! Hope Carson comes back too Paul and find you interviewing refreshing and sensitive like you. Wonderful ending saying ' fear is the absence of love'!!! Bless you both 💕🤗
Chris' personality and depth of thoughtful performance really comes out in this interview. Nothing is easy in life, but when good fortune was given, they gave it to the right guy, CHRIS MCNALLY.
Thank you for this interview. Always good to see a Chris interview and learning more about him. And Yep he got the girl. Loved that. I love to see an Erin interview on the podcast ;)
Woo Hoo....Chris McNally interview !!! Loved you both sharing...so much fun !!!! PS: I have listened to your interview with Chris over again...so much to take in from two phenomenal WCTH men. Since you didn't get a chance to ask all of the many questions...perhaps just a question session with Chris would be possible ???
Love all of the interviews that you do. This one with Chris McNally was just delightful, We true hearties are just happy that Elizabeth is happy, and even Nathan agreed. Thanks to Chris and Erin for a wonderful final scene!!! What a kiss!!\
There you go! And you’re right Michelle! When Nathan came to see Lucas at his Saloon and said to Lucas that Elizabeth told him(Nathan)that Elizabeth loves him(Nathan) but she Isn’t in love with him!(Nathan)So that meant that Elizabeth is in LOVE with Lucas. So there for her heart belongs to Lucas. ❤️ So there for Nathan hearties that Nathan realized it accepted it so he stepped back and let Lucas go after Elizabeth and that was what he did. Nathan never interfered and respected in Elizabeth’s decision so that just to show you hearties that Nathan is quite a gentleman about it and has class. Love it! 👍🏼❤️
@@rosesilva3198 yo creo que Elizabeth se sintió atraída por Lucas desde que él le dice unas frases de la novela " Las amistades peligrosas" de la forma en que le habla y la mira creo que hasta le tembló las rodillas...esa expresión de ella lo dice...
Thank you for all you do and hopefully your not leaving WCTH. Can't wait to see Season 9 and the love and family Lucas & Elizabeth make with Little Jack . The best pick ever.....❤ love all on the show thanks to all that gives us a wonderful show to look forward to seeing......
I really enjoyed your interview with Chris McNally. I am happy with the decision that Elizabeth chose Lucas. When you go back and look at the episodes leading up to the finale, Elizabeth never had any intimate time with Nathan. He could barely look her in the face and when he finally confessed his love for Elizabeth, she ran (or rode) away as fast as ahe could! On the other hand, Elizabeth had been on dates with Lucas and even went on an overnight (last season and she had the suite and Lucas took regular room) trip. Elizabeth had different times she and Lucas nearly kissed this season. There were never any times like that between Elizabeth and Nathan! The whole season was pointing to Lucas. I just don't understand why people didn't see that and were upset when she chose Lucas. I like Nathan and I'm sure they will have a great storyline for him. I think if she chose Nathan it would be like she was replacing Jack! No one could ever replace Jack. The original story is about a teacher and a Mountie and that's what we got in the first 5 Seasons. Jack was killed in the field exercise with the Mounties. We know from past episodes that Elizabeth respected Jack being a Mountie, but she was sad and frightened when Jack left for each mission. It doesn't make sense to me that Elizabeth would choose.another Mountie! GO TEAM LUCAS! We love you as Lucas Chris McNally. ❤💖❤💖❤💖❤
Starla sums it up perfectly!!! I agree with everything she says. I hope next season everyone is Team Hope Valley and enjoy the beautiful story as it unfolds. I mean ALL the storylines but especially the Lucas/Elizabeth storyline. Chris McNally is SUCH a sensitive, charming man. I now see why Lucas is such a complex character. It is because Chris McNally's true character came through in Lucas. I hope Chris realizes how MANY people in the viewing audience LOVE him and the character he has created!!! I can NOT wait for S9!!!
Thank you Paul Green for hours of entertainment I didn’t think you would see my comment and you replied I look at you tube, tick rock, Facebook. . Your baby is a cutie and a joy to see you and your family and you always include your mom your best friend I admire you for that .
Thank you Paul for this interview. Chris is such a humble guy. His character as Lucas brings the storyline on WCTH is more exciting to watch. Thank you also for the long interview. You did a great job asking for more details about Chris's life besides being an actor. He is now my new idol. I started watching all his movies. Can't wait for season 9!!...and I do hope you'll come back to Hope Valley, Dr. Carson.
Chris, ignore the haters. Your acting was great. The chemistry between you and Erin feels like you both are a real couple. WCTH is my favorite tv show. I love all the casts and crews. I'm glad y'all get along so good!
Priscilla..estoy de acuerdo contigo, Chris es una persona humilde,y es mi ídolo ahora...yo no lo he conocido hasta que empecé a ver la serie en Netflix, nunca lo había visto antes..y la temporada 6,que es donde sale Lucas por primera vez, la pusieron este año en Netflix, por lo que lo he conocido ahora...pero me gustó desde el minuto 1 , la pena es que la entrevista no la puedo entender..sé algo de inglés pero escrito..de hablado no me entero de nada..y lo siento mucho...porque me encantaría saber lo que él dice..ahora esperando con impaciencia la temporada 10 , que promete mucho..saludos desde España
@@giselapinero115 indeed. Chris is shy and humble is the reason I like him. I hope someone who can speak English and Spanish or another foreign language is willing to translate this video. I know WCTH has many fans who live outside North America.
Thank you Paul for such a nice, real and touching conversation with Chris!! He is great and so are you!! Love from a Brazilian heartie! PS: I love Lucas!

You're right. The vocal minority is just that, a minority. I was rooting for Lucas and I am so happy with the season 8 ending. I can't wait for the next season!
Love WCTH! We love Chris McNally and his character Lucas. He does an amazing job and can't help falling in love with him. We are so happy Elizabeth chose Lucas the ending was beautiful. So excited for their future. Can't wait for next season. Loved the interview! Hope Paul Greene returns another favorite character.
Great interview! Great actors and men☺ and of course so happy for Elizabeth and Lucas❤ its going to be a pleasure to watch them grow as a family friends and lovers👍
Thank you very much Paul for making us share this moment with this incredible and beautiful person that is Chris. In addition to having an immense talent, you allowed us to discover a little more Chris, a humble, endearing and sensitive person. Thank you both for this wonderful exchange.
I don’t see where they get they were lied to. I didn’t see that. I saw several times you interacted with baby Jack. You showed your love in so many ways. I was team Lucas all the way and looking forward to the next season. I do hope Carson comes back and Martin too. I love your beard, Chris. Always enjoy your interviews, Paul. You are such a kind, compassionate person and really care what the other person is saying. Love WCTH totally 🥰
I listened to this before this video came out and it is an excellent interview! Paul Greene is excellent at interviewing and Chris McNally is a sweetheart! I love this!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was originally team Nathan. But Rosemary explained it Nathan was the season that brought a familiarity, safe place for healing. The episode where Lucas said he just wanted Elizabeth to be happy, he was no longer was going to pursue her. That was the day I became team Lucas. Elizabeth is a city girl...Lucas can connect with her on that level, interests, culture, etc.
They are best of both worlds now. City world and Hope valley town. They connect over interests and books and importantly he understands her and patiently waits for her and it’s always her choice to what she wants and her happiness. Challenge each other and room to grow and build on
I have to say that I was drawn to WCTH during the pandemic. When I realized that Chris McNally and Kevin McGarry had joined the show, I sent for season 6 from AMAZON. It was clear to me from the beginning that Elizabeth would end up with Lucas. They had SO much in common. I ended up purchasing the subsequent seasons and watching them several times! My favorite season is season 9. Lucas is amazingly perfect in his role as a debonair, romantic, mysterious, loving, protective heartthrob!! Chris McNally does an amazing job!!! Can't wait for season 10!
I guess this is old . Season 10 has been ion for a long time . Tonight was season 11 . Nathan doesn’t have any luck with any of his love interests . And Lucas and Elizabeth are having a good perfect wonderful relationship about to marry until season 11 episode . Elizabeth realizes she loves Nathan not Lucas . It was a shocker . They break up . Unless Lucas just wants off the show . It’s crazy . Or Lucas could even get killed . He is trying to save the town and has a lot of haters . Who knows maybe they will even make her run back to Lucas again .
@@lindamartinez7006 Nathan didn't have luck on any of his casual datings with Mei or Faith because he was still in love with Elizabeth! Nathan tried to move on because he thought he lost Elizabeth forever. Nathan thought he was only ever going to be able to be friends with Elizabeth!
@@lindamartinez7006 🤣 Faith isn't unstable! She is very grounded. Faith told Nathan, but "there was something in the way." when she called of their casual dating. She was right. The thing in the way was Elizabeth. Nathan realized that truth too so he dated no one else. Nathan was still in love with Elizabeth even though at that time Elizabeth was still in her safe, comfortable, uncomplicated relationship with Lucas. So once Elizabeth became single again in S11, Nathan & Elizabeth's relationship started transitioning from a solid, strong, friendship & connection + love to a solid, strong, romance + deep romantic & true love.
@@lindamartinez7006 until Elizabeth's safe love with Lucas became unsafe when Lucas ran for governor. Elizabeth didn't want to move to CC. Elizabeth wanted to live in HV raising Jack Jr. in the community. Also, when Nathan as a friend confronted Elizabeth at the church/school house, Nathan asked her, "Elizabeth, what do you want?" Well after Nathan left she realized she couldn't leave HV because she was still in love with Nathan even though she tried to bury it deep inside. For all these reasons Elizabeth broke up with Lucas. I love how they brought Lucas mysterious past back. The widow Jeanette, Lucas ex-girlfriend Jeanette turned out to be a criminal. Will Lucas be able to keep his job as governor in S12? I wonder what the newspaper reporters will dig up on Lucas' past? This role that Alfonso starting with Lucas having a mysterious past & Lindsay & Alfonso bringing it back up is great for Chris as it makes his character, Lucas way more interesting! Glad they brought up his past in S11.
I am happy that Elizabeth chose Lucas. I thought it was a nice end to Season 8. 🙂 I admit, I thought she would choose Nathan because it seemed to fit more with the Hallmark formula-- single parents making an instant family. Also, many of us have limited knowledge of the entertainment business. We know the show is fictional, but don't view things through the same lens as professional actors. Just wanted to share why some may react strongly. No excuse for berating though.
What you shared about how people reacted to the outcome of Elizabeth romantic life show how people are completely out of control emotionally and psychologically. I think it is a good indicator of people's maturity as well as their emotional and psychological health. I hope one day they'll see their need for change and growth as a person, and come to know what civism means and its importance for living in society. People who in an unrestrained and vitriolic way let others know what they think gives proof of how many laudable values they are lacking, such as : respect, consideration, a willingness to understand the other party, humility and many others. I live in Spain and I don't get to watch the whole series, just bits and pieces of episodes; but I've got to watch Elizabeth and Lucas relationship and I love how it ends. Thanks for the life lessons you share on this friendly talk, they are inspiring and add to our lives. Thank you! 🌻
Can’t we all just be Team Hope Valley? I am Team Lucas, Team Nathan, Team Elizabeth, Team Gowen, Team Bill and the list of my favourite characters in this show just goes on an on! 😍👌🏻🙏🏻 So sad that Chris had to receive the hate! Hope he forgets those comments soon! Paul, thanks so much for yet another wonderful interview! We are all so lucky to have you and to have this podcast! 🙏🏻 ❤️ We don’t deserve you! 🙌🏻
Paul, you are not only an outstanding actor and musician, you are also an excellent interviewer. I love watching your podcasts! When Calls the Heart has been my favorite TV show since the first episode of Season 1. All of the characters are such great actors! I thoroughly enjoyed your interview with Chris McNally and, also, with Kevin McGarry and Andrea Brooks. It is so good to see a personal side of these great actors. Even though I have enjoyed Lucas' character, I have always been a huge team Nathan fan. Kevin McGarry is such a convincing actor that I thought Nathan was destined to be with Elizabeth. Elizabeth's comments to Nathan in the middle of the last episode of Season 8 broke my heart. Oh, goodness, life must go on. I went back and reviewed some of the scenes with Lucas and Elizabeth, and they do have a great love story (if you can leave out the scenes with Nathan and Elizabeth). I am looking forward to Season 9 and the great stories to be told. I do hope the writers will reunite Carson and Faith, give Nathan a fantastic future, and share more of the Lucas and Elizabeth romance along with all of the other great stories of Hope Valley. it is amazing how much we can let ourselves get wrapped up in a fictional story. I guess that is what great acting and story writing are all about. Thanks to you and all of the cast and crew of When Calls the Heart for helping us to escape into the world of Hope Valley! I wish the show much success in the future! I also look forward to all of the endeavors of each of the actors on the show. It is a joy to watch quality acting and to see these interviews with quality people! Keep up the great work!
Great interview Paul. You have such great insight and rapport with your guests and ask such thought-provoking questions. Your engagement and attention to detail is very impressive. Thanks to Chris for being so open and honest about his life and career. Loved hearing about how passionate he is about design, lighting, sound and food as well as his dedication to the craft of acting. It's apparent that Chris is very invested in his portrayal of Lucas as his performance this past season has been phenomenal. I am ecstatic that Lucas is the guy that got the girl and so looking forward to season 9. Also, I appreciate Chris' candour regarding his experience following the finale. The discussion between you and Chris definitely served as a reminder that actors are not immune to the "wave of hate" and such vitriol and disrespectful comments are hurtful and unacceptable. Hopefully, positivity and kindness will return soon. Thanks again to you and Chris for allowing us to get to know who Chris McNally is a bit better.
I now got in to this Series, and I love it, I watch it on NETFLIX, I love LUCAS , he has a mysterious charm, the only thing for me NETFLIX has six seasons , and it stopped as Elizabeth's now getting attracted to the two of them, so its a Spoiler for me but I am glad she picked LUCAS, I hope they get the rest of the seasons,as we dont have HALLMARK in the Caribbean.
I really enjoy your interviews. I'm a Heartie for ever and have been Team Nathan but will continue to watch because, more importantly I'm team WCTH. Love Chris in all of his movies and as Lucas. I'm looking forward to season 9 ‼️❤️
Stumbled on this and oh, so glad! You're a great moderator, Paul. I loved learning more about Chris and plants, and food, and sound, and acting. I was in neither Lucas or Nathan camps. But toward the end, I admit I found myself rooting for Lucas and did a whoopee when it all came together. I hope you're back next season, Paul!
Wonderful interview Paul, you are both great. So happy Elizabeth chose Lucas, they have so much chemistry and I love their story since S6 😊💕 Excited for Season 9!
Loved your interview with Chris. Hoping you come back to WCTH. As for Chris, I love his humility. Good to hear from 2 nice intelligent guys. Can't wait for season 9. ❤ Elizabeth & Lucas.

Not all #teamNathan were haters on Lucas. We just thought Nathan was the right choice for Elizabeth & now we know Lucas was a temporary choice a safe choice. Nathan & Elizabeth are a couple. I'm not hating on anyone though. It's a great show with great actors Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, & Chris McNally are all great actors trying to tell a story. They are all friends in real life! We should respect their work. I love that Lucas mysterious past came back into play. I love Lucas as governor.
Lucas was the temporary choice. Crazy twist & turns on this show. I do like Chris as a mysterious man with a past as a saloon owner in S6 & S7. I'm glad it was brought back the past at the end of S10 & all S11. Chris plays that well. I prefer Elizabeth with Nathan, but I like Erin Krakow, Kevin McGarry, & Chris McNally. All good actors.
Thank you so much for this interview! It’s great to get to know our heroes! All actors on WCTH are amazing and I’m extremely sorry for the hate wave. I hope time washes it away. I’m so looking forward to season 9 and new stories! Greetings from a Heartie in Latvia! WCTH is loved all over the world. ❤️
Thank you both for taking the time to have a conversation. I have always thought that you both bring a lot of authenticity to the roles that you play because of the men you are, and this discussion just confirmed it. As for the negativity led by a small group of very vocal people... I think that the isolation of Covid has caused some people to have some difficulty differentiating fiction from reality. I know that you both are Canadian, but you must also be aware of the rancor, discord and great divisions in the political discussion of your neighbors to the south of Canada that has spilled over into the way some people view everything. Please know that there are many of us who are fans of the series in large part because of your characters. I look forward to the next season of WCH and wish you both all the best.
Love getting this interview the second time with video. I love everything Chris McNally. ❤️He’s a gifted actor, but also such a humble, kind guy! I’ve seen you in just about every project you’ve done, but I love you best in serial work and especially as Lucas in WCTH. Thank goodness you were cast as Lucas over Nathan because that part is tailor made for you and you have brought Lucas to life in a way that has endeared us to him and caused us to fall in love with him (and you) right along with Elizabeth. I can’t wait to see what lies ahead for Lucas and also for you, Chris, as an actor! Your emotional investment and the passion you put in your craft shines brightly in every character you play. You make us forget that the characters you’re playing are fictional! I must mention your last two episodes of WCTH (really the whole season)…they were absolutely breathtaking and in my opinion a high water mark in your career. Bravo!👏👏
I watched that interview that Paul S had with Chris and I was so impressed with Chris on his personal answers about his life and career endeavors in seeking his career as an actor.He is a very private person.with the media.as Erin is too. I can understand and respect their privacy . I just love 💕 the actors and actresses
People need to learn to be kind and caring and if they don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all both Chris and erin are wonderful at what they do and don't deserve all the terrible things people are saying.
And Kevin and Jaeda also... . I've seen people bashing Jaeda and the cast did nothing. I'm a little fed up with how Chris and Erin are seen as the only victims. None of the actors should be bullied. Not Chris. not Erin, not Kevin and especially not Jaeda who is still a teen
@@lisetvandijk2438 Totally agree! Jaeda has been criticized fir months. Kevin always gets criticized. Why does the compassion and kindness only go one way?
I couldn't agree more!!! If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all was a rule in my house when my brother and I were growing up! It's too bad that more people haven't been taught that lesson!!! Chris, ignore the negative comments. Though negative people are in the minority, they tend to be more vocal. It is obvious that as people see their comments, those with positive feelings are coming out of the woodwork to counter the negative with overwhelming positivity!!! I for one can't wait to see the Lucas/Elizabeth love story unfold!!! It is the BEST storyline that WCTH has developed to date. It is even better than the Jack/Elizabeth storyline!!!
Thx for the interview. Hearing Chris's audtion story was cool. I still think Lucas is a way cooler character, and can play with more and more potential and with Elizabeth. Also the scene that was made up for the audition, that would of been cool to see in the show if they started out like that. But i liked their first meet in the show.
Don't act so surprise, Chris McNally is the most handsome , charming , adorable man on the planet! His voice is the one that makes me tingle apart from his gorgeous dimple! If you must know I love man with dimples. But most of all I got a lot of things in common the love of food and I'm passionate about cooking , entertaining , cocktails etc. He is my type of guy. This is from Leonora Young , Bromley , Kent , England. Wish I could meet him in a flesh.
Just watching chris's interview with Paul for the umpteenth time & had to reply to your comment. I think you spoke for me because I feel the same way about Chris. He is too perfect to be real. I don't know what I love the most but he is such a down to earth and humble guy which adds to his looks. And he is shy. Amazing that he has it all but doesn't get a big head. Loved your comments even tho I am late lettng you know.
I can't believe how many comments are out here. I'm so happy for Paul that his RU-vid posts are getting so much traffic.. I like to listen to the podcast and then watch them later. I have been so excited for the interview with Chris but wanted to make sure that I could devote uninterrupted time as I love these 2+ hour interviews. Paul does such a wonderful job of having an organic conversation with his guests, and this one was no different. I was not a "Team" anyone but I am happy with the Lucas/Elizabeth outcome. Nathan or Lucas would've been a great choice but I really like the kind of person Elizabeth is when she's around Lucas. She seems less pensive, happy and free. I love Lucas' wardrobe and Chris is very handsome ♥♥ (I'm a big fan of a "trimmed" beards.. no ZZ Top styled beard for me, plz) Even though I was not a LHOTP fan growing up, I am a fan of WCTH and never miss an episode (In season 3, I had to watch season 1 and part of season 2 to catch up ). I love all the characters and appreciate the stories they're telling is about all the residents of Hope Valley.
I love how Chris and Paul talks about what they felt about the heartie's reactions on the final episode... i do agree with both of them saying that in every show there should be a little conflict and how they appeal to the hearties not to talk ill about the show's writers and actors..

Paul, you do an amazing job with the questions, and an even better job listening with careful and thoughtful follow-up questions. Well done. Chris, you are on the receiving end of the vitriol only BECAUSE of the character you play, not because of who you are. The fact that viewers are THAT passionate to be angry is a testament to the show and how invested they are in the characters but not the person. I was always #teamlucas, and yet I hope #teamnathan fans find a way back to Hope Valley, because isn't that what it's all about. Side note, do you two know what a great head of hair you have? Is that a prerequisite to being on the show? Wait, there's NED! FYI, someone on Instagram forwarded this video to me as they must have seen I'm #teamlucas. Think about that - your fans are all over. I Hope (Valley) you pick up more new fans and that the show keeps on going and going. Thanks for this episode!

"Your partner's a woman so there's a good chance she knows a lot you don't."... Paul Greene I'm going to have that needlepointed and hung on the wall. You made my day.
I love Chris McNally. He is such a great actor, and I will say that I, for one, am glad the script writers at Hallmark chose him as the chosen guy for Lori on “When Calls the Heart season 8 finale.” Chris makes a perfect gentleman character in the show for “Lori”, who is most definitely a refined lady for that period of time. I think he will prove to be her life long love, partner, and best friend, who helps her become successful as a writer, pushing her to be the best she can be. Also, I listened to the cast interviews, and I really admired that Chris keeps his family life personal. That’s rare and I think more actors and actresses would have more successful family lives and marriages if they would do that, so “kudos” to him. 👍
Great interview Paul, Chris is so humble, can’t wait for season 10! My favorite show When Calls the Hearts! Chris has been in some awesome movies,great actor and so are you Paul hope Carson comes back into When Calls the Heart! Love you both❤
This is such a great interview! I luv how he is so passionate about design! He loves architecture too! Creative mind! Such a great guy! So in tuje with the aesthetic of things,like Lucas!! Love it! I cannot stand bright lights either! All about the ambiance!Lighting is everything!
Great job Paul !!! Loved Chris in V.C.Andrews Heaven and then his Hallmark Movies he really connects well with his leading ladies and his portrayal of Lucas on WCTH is awesome brings something different to HV, can't wait for season 9 & we'll be looking for him on Riverdale !!
Thanks for this interview. I enjoyed every minute. I love each of your characters on WCTH and am overjoyed with Elizabeth and Lucas declared love. Looking forward to seeing you both in S9 and other projects.
I love the character Lucas. I am ecstatic over Elizabeth's choice. I liked Jack, but I love Lucas so much more than Jack. Lucas puts Elizabeth first before even himself. Jack put his job first above everything. Chris McNally brings Lucas Bouchard so beautifully to life. I follow all of Chris's works and love him as an actor. Through interviews such as this one, I love Chris as a person. Chris is a humble and kind human being. I am a member of Chris's fan club and I absolutely adore him. ❤
Chris, you mentioned Lake Arrowhead. I lived in Lake Arrowhead, CA for a long time. It's a wonderful town in Southern CA. So nice to hear all your experiences. Love you always 💙💙💙 You are so awesome and my favorite actor on WCTH. I know you are busy but would love to hear from you sometime.
Amazing interview!! Loved learning so much about Chris. I was always "team Lucas", but love the character of Nathan. I can't believe some Hearties were so hateful! The character of Elizabeth is most suited for Lucas! There would have been too much heartache if Elizabeth choose Nathan due to the dangers of Nathan being a mount. I do look forward to Nathan finding love in season 9.
Chris you're a great actor. I've you on WCTH but I first saw you in The Sweetest Heart which I just loved. Hope to see you in many more Hallmark movies
It made me so sad to hear the negative messages/comments Chris McNally was receiving from some supposed fans. Broke my heart that people "think" they have the right to say anything negative about someone as kind and sincere as Chris McNally. Keyboard courage can be so hateful and (in my opinion) the people capable of such mean comments are bitter and not satisfied with their own lives. These people are insignificant and Chris McNally should ignore them, but it still stings and you can't help but be hurt in some way ... we are human and he doesn't deserve it. Having said that, just hold your head high Chris McNally and know your incredible worth, talents ... and yes, you are a very handsome man!
Great interview. I’ve been invested wholeheartedly in WCTH since season 1. Pairing Elizabeth with Lucas was a great choice. I can’t wait to watch season 9.
I know I’m a little late watching this interview but this was amazing!! Paul let me first say congratulations on your new baby. He is soooo adorable and I love seeing the pictures of your family. You are the best! Great interview with Chris. Loved learning more about him and he is such a great young man. His parents should be so proud of him. I am definitely Team Lucas and I am so excited about season 9. Thank you both for being so transparent about your lives and being so kind and humble. Would love to sit down with you both to have coffee ☕️ or a cocktail 🍹. That’s how you make everyone out here feel. I also love watching both of you on all your Hallmark movies. You are both gifted actors. May God continue to watch over both of you and pour his blessings on you and your families ❤️
Thank you Paul for this wonderful interview with Chris. Thank you Chris for sharing your beautiful heart with us. People can be so cruel with there words and you handle it with grace. I personally love both Nathan and Lucas’s characters and was torn on who I wanted to when Elizabeth’s heart. You truly are a beautiful person inside and out.
Chris is such an awesome actor and person (and handsome!). He portrays Lucas so impeccably. I love Elizabeth and Lucas (and the rest of the cast of WCTH). Can’t wait for S9.
As a fan of the show from since season 1, I think people were way out of line to attack Chris over the finale. Tv-shows and movies have so many things behind the scenes and we're not always gonna get the ending we hoped for, but that doesn't mean we have a full on assault at an actor just doing their job. Also, who is to say that the ending you desired was the best or right choice. This interview was really great and I'm looking forward to more stories in season 9.
I loved watching this and learning more about Chris. Since Lucas and Nathan came to Hope Valley I have fallen in love with both guys. In season eight (about mid season) I REALLY started wanting Elizabeth to end up with Lucas. His character truly helped her grow while giving her so much unconditional love and patience. After everything she has gone through she deserved that love. I would have still been happy if Nathan was chosen because his character is such a great guy too. Chris and Kevin are INCREDIBLE actors who have brought both characters to life in this series. I love watching all Chris' Hallmark movies and am so glad he joined the When Calls the Heart Cast. I have been an active follower of the show before it even aired on tv. My mom was given the original pilot movie and season one to review for her online Christian magazine. I will continue to follow these wonderful characters to the end. Thank you Paul for sharing this with us! Be blessed!
Fantastic interview. Loved hearing from you & Chris. Love the series When Calls The Heart & besides the Elizabeth & Lucas storyline also my favorites were the story of Florence & Ned, Rosemary & Lee, as well as the rest of the cast. Looking forward to watching more episodes of your podcast
Totally enjoyed your interviews with Chris & Kevin, both individually & together. Is it possible to have an interview with Erin? Again, either by herself or with Chris &/or Kevin. Have seen her on interviews with ET & others, but really enjoy interviews by Paul better. His interviews seem more friendly, like just close friends talking together on a Saturday night. Maybe he could play his guitar & Erin could sing a song with him. Thank you for considering this request. Looking forward to your future interviews.
