I don't think Felicity was under contract to anything. Now, if William Macy gets indicted or if there's enough evidence that he knew what Felicity was doing, Showtime may fire him from Shameless and that would be just about the end for that show with Rossum leaving after this season too.
I don't follow When Calls the Heart so I don't know if Lori's character was still active in that show and if they will just write her out or will that end that show. I know she's not the main character there.
I find it interesting that she had gotten permission to travel to Canada to work while awaiting trial and didn't have to surrender her passport until the end of the year. Well she can turn in her passport now since she doesn't have work in Canada to get back to

Lori Loughlin Fired From All Hallmark Projects Over College Cheating Scandal
By Andy Swift / March 14 2019, 1:10 PM PDT
Lori Loughlin's future (or lack thereof) with Hallmark has been decided. Crown Media will no longer be working with the actress — who is currently a series regular on the popular period drama When Calls the Heart, among other projects.
"We are saddened by the recent news surrounding the college admissions allegations," reads a statement obtained by TVLine. "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 including Garage Sale Mysteries, an independent third party production."
Some background: Loughlin turned herself over to authorities on March 13 after being indicted for allegedly taking part in a large scheme involving parents who paid bribes of up to $6 million to get their kids into elite colleges, including Harvard and Yale. Loughlin, her husband Mossimo Giannulli and dozens of other parents — including Desperate Housewives alumna Felicity Huffman — allegedly bribed college entrance-exam administrators to allow cheating on the tests and university athletic coaches to designate school applicants as athletic recruits, regardless of their athletic ability or experience playing a sport.
Loughlin and Giannulli allegedly paid a total of $500,000 so that their two daughters would be designated as recruits to the University of Southern California's crew team, though neither girl participated in the sport. Loughlin was released from custody on $1 million bail, with a judge ruling that she could travel for work as long as she informs the court where she's going and how long she'll be away. She's currently in the midst of making the Hallmark Channel's latest Garage Sale Mystery movie, which is being filmed in Vancouver...
Fans of Loughlin's work with Hallmark have been extremely vocal since news of her alleged involvement in the bribery scandal became public. Viewers have since flooded Hallmark's social media channels, calling for her firing. "@LoriLoughlin shows or movies will no longer be played in my home," wrote one angry fan on Instagram. "Should have hired her children a tutor and taught them better study habits." Another added, "Personally, I don't want to see her ever on Hallmark Channel again and it would be extremely disappointing to see Crown Media ignore her gross dishonesty."
In addition to her work on these Hallmark projects, Loughlin also recurs on Netflix's Fuller House, which was recently renewed for a fifth and final season. TVLine has reached out to Warner Bros. TV for comment about Loughlin's future (or lack thereof) on the family sitcom.
