Context: Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were among dozens of parents named in an investigation that accuses them of bribing their children’s way into college. Loughlin and Giannulli allegedly paid $500,000 so that their children could be crew recruits for the University of Southern California so they could attend the school, Entertainment Weekly reported. Neither child ever competed in crew.
- The Hallmark Channel cut ties with Loughlin in the immediate aftermath of the scandal.
- The Hallmark Channel assured fans that the scandal won’t destroy the show. Deadline reports that the station won’t cancel the show but will go on a hiatus to figure out the creative direction of the show.
- Hallmark said in an Instagram post that the show will return.
- “Hope Valley has many more stories left to share and we will let you know the details soon,” the post said.
