  Hello, fellow Watchers. Today marks one year since I started this blog. I started this blog in order to share my love for my favorite movies and tv shows with other people.

       During the most recent episode of "The Way Home" that premiered this past Sunday February 4, there was one scene in particular that stood out. While Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh) is looking through the archives at the Port Haven Herald, she is greeted by someone named Casey Goodwin (Vaughan Murrae).

Erin Krakow, who has played Elizabeth Thornton (nee Thatcher) on "When Calls The Heart" since Season One, and Daniel Lissing, who played Jack Thornton on the series from Seasons One to Five, are set to star in "Santa Tell Me", which will air as part of Hallmark Channel's 2024 Countdown To Christmas programming.
