Several of Lori Loughlin's former co-stars from "When Calls the Heart" are breaking their silence on the college cheating scandal that led to the actress' departure.

Hallmark’s parent company, Crown Media, ousted Loughlin last week after she was arrested for allegedly paying $500,000 to guarantee her two daughters – Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose – admission to the University of Southern California as members of the crew team, though neither was an athlete. Loughlin's husband, designer Mossimo Giannulli, was also arrested.

Paul Greene, who plays Carson Shepherd on the Hallmark Channel drama, took to Twitter Tuesday to thank all the "Hearties" for their "amazing love and support through this tough spot."

Andrea Brooks, who portrays Faith Carter, issued a similar statement to fans.

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that I appreciate the tremendous outpouring of love and support over the past week," she wrote on Instagram Tuesday. "Your kindness and dedication does not go unnoticed. I love being a part of this family. Thank you."

Crown Media cut ties with Loughlin on March 14, stating they were "saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations."

"We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin and have stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels involving Lori Loughlin," Crown Media Family Networks said in a statement to USA TODAY.

The network pulled "When Calls the Heart" from the air amid the scandal, leaving the remainder of the season up in the air while Hallmark said they are, "evaluating all creative options." And by then, Loughlin had been scrubbed from promotional photos, including the banner on the show’s Facebook page.

But executive producer Brian Bird took to Instagram Saturday to reassure Hearties that the series will not be canceled, though it may take some time returning to the small screen.

"With the full support of the network, we have gone on a creative hiatus to do some retooling on the remaining Season 6 episodes," Bird said in a statement posted on Instagram. "That process has already begun. Hope Valley will return to your TV screens as soon as we can bring the episodes to you."

Loughlin, 54, played Abigail Stanton on the drama, which captured a series-best 2.5 million viewers during February's Season 6 premiere, finishing second to "The Walking Dead" in Sunday night cable dramas.

However, Bird said the show's success "has always been bigger than the sum of its parts," referring to the disgraced actress.

In the lengthy statement, Bird added the entire cast "was surprised by these developments (surrounding Loughlin), so we hope you can forgive us for initially staying silent while we sorted through how to respond."

He thanked the show's fans for their continued support, adding it "brought a lot of tears to the eyes of our cast and crew and to the good folks at Hallmark Channel."

A return date for "When Calls the Heart" has not been announced.
