Hallmark Star Mamie Laverock's Family Shares A Heartbreaking Health Update
"When Calls the Heart" co-star Mamie Laverock is currently on life support after falling five stories from a balcony walkway during a hospital stay in late May, according to a post made by her family on the GoFundMe they have established to help raise money her care.
The actor — who has portrayed nursing student Rosaleen Sullivan on nine episodes of the family drama and appeared in the Hallmark Channel Movies "Spotlight on Christmas" and "Wedding of Dreams" — has been hospitalized since May 11 due to what her family described as a medical emergency. Initially, her recovery time was going to last a month or more, and her condition had been improving at the time of her fall. Since the accident — which took place on May 26 — she has gone through multiple surgeries. Her injuries are described as life-threatening by her parents, Rob and Nicole Compton, who have organized the GoFundMe.
Both Hallmark Channel and Laverock's colleagues have rallied around her in this time of need.

Loretta Walsh asked those who could to support the cause on her Instagram. Johannah Newmarch, who plays Rosaleen's mother Molly Sullivan, said on X, "I love this family, my heart is broken. A devastating time for all who care for Mamie. Please help if you can."
