Lori Loughlin’sWhen Calls the Heartcostar Erin Krakow returned to social media after a month-long hiatus with a message seemingly of support.
“ ’You are always there for me’ ‘And I always will be’ 💕,” Krakow’s tweet reads.
Though it’s unclear just who the tweet is referring to, Twitter user @shannonfreer17 pointed out that the quote is lifted from aWhen Calls the Heartscene between Loughlin and Krakow’s characters.
Krakow, the star of the show, had not tweeted since March 11 — one day before it was revealed Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli were among dozens of peoplecharged in an alleged college admissions cheating scandalinvolving elite colleges and universities including Yale, Georgetown, the University of Southern California and Stanford.

In the wake of her arrest, the Hallmark Channelcut ties with the star, halting the development of future projects and claiming it would not air any past content featuring Loughlin.
Despite her removal fromWhen Calls the Heart, series producer Brian Bird hasmaintained that the show is not canceled, and will return with new episodes after a “retooling” hiatus.

Bird revealed onTwitteron March 30 that he knows when the show is returning, but stopped short of offering up the date.
“I guess you’ll just have to wait along with the rest of the #Hearties until we’re ready to announce it,” he wrote in response to a fan who asked if he knew when it would come back.
The series teased something special on its Instagram story Monday with a message that read, “Something is happening on your cable and satellite systems Wednesday at 2 p.m EST… You really, really do not want to miss it. Really.”
Loughlin, 54, and Giannulli, 55, are facing felony charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud after they allegedly paid $500,000 to have daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose recruited to the USC crew team, despite the fact that neither rowed. (It is unclear whether or not Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose are believed to have known about the alleged scheme.)

The coupleappeared before a judgefor the first time last week in a Boston courtroom, where they waived their right to a preliminary hearing.
They also agreed to several pretrial conditions, including surrendering their passports and no possession of firearms. Loughlin and Giannulli have yet to enter pleas in the cases against them.
Prior to her court appearance, Loughlin was upbeat as shesigned autographs and posed for photoswith fans upon touching down in Boston.

Still, former costar Krakow’s seeming message of support comes after a source told PEOPLE that many of Loughlin and Giannulli’s friends were attempting to distance themselves from the couple.
“Lori and Mossimo are finding out quickly who their real friends are,” the source said. “It’s not like they are victims of a crime. They are the crime… Many of their friends don’t want to be associated with them right now.”
