Yes, it's nice to be here. And I and here I'm your first project in the new year. Is that right? Yes, you are my first fashion show this year to James. Yes, the first one I decide for my first one is six months actually. Oh, wow. There you go. That's got some very exciting and it's my pregnant the Hardys. Yes, of course we come back for for the Hardys and for all you and I see you in the live chat. Hello everyone. Thanks for joining us. Once again. We have a lot to talk about. So let's just get into it. Yes, let's do it. So then, you know, we started off the the episode with Lillian and Grace they come to town a wagon full of Orphans and they're all singing how Cute are they yeah, everyone. Yes, I mean what says Hope Valley and When Calls the Heart more than kids and I wish there was more singing on the show to be honest. Like all of us can sing. We've talked about this many times. It's like we need a musical and the fans are asking for it. And so there's a dude would require quite a bit of production. But you know, I think we need to do a musical at some point. I think you can do it James. Do you agree with that? Oh a musical episode completely. I might I should totally just so much talent in your calf. You should totally do it. I'm all for it. They need to hire me to come up there and I want to join the episode. It's a background anything. I'll do it. Okay, ha ha ha it was cute writing background. It was very cute, seeing those girls and and all the kids and in Hope Valley Fashion just to see how everyone took care of even the kids got involved to take care of those orphans. And and that's what I love about the show is people are going to leave better than they were before. They saw it inspired to be better people is what I like to think about. Absolutely. The kids played an amazing part that the orphans and just the regular Hope Valley kids and like you could just see the positive community that everyone no matter what age you are like Hannah and and the influence that they have on other people just to do good especially around Christmas time. The the Christmas spirit. Yeah. I mean the whole town comes together, right and everyone helps with the figgy pudding and everyone just everything it's the way that the things are on hold. So utopian place to escape to yeah, wherever One takes care of each other and the odd villain comes in to mix things up. Right? I loved how they try to quote unquote Escape through the Hope Valley router. But little did they know that there was a sheriff there as well because they're hiding a secret with this little orphan Millie. She's kind of like a stowaway James over your thoughts on Millie. Why is this funny a first date two things? First of all one nice collection a diverse kids. That orphan group is very diverse. They're all diverse looking. I love that. Number two Our Hope Valley kids. They're getting older. It's like the jayven like grow like 10 inches like they're all growing up. It's like wow your eyes. We're seeing the kids grow up. Yeah, that's true and his voice dropped his voice. Yeah. Maybe you like you look there are all kind of getting older they're growing up in like this is really interesting. I love a storyline and so my question is the heart he's already out. There ain't nobody knows anything is It's like part of this an office going to happen. Like is this a base is gonna be like something is going to happen later or when this other thing comes out it felt like a great introduction and it felt like it fit within the When Calls the Heart. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I know that that is is a part of it. I know that that is the that was a cool song. Okay. I realize that my Facebook live they couldn't hear James or you could just hear me like talking to so I just Attended my Facebook live. I was the secondary audio right? Just noting via iTunes. That was the ding was the secondary. Yeah, they couldn't hear me. That's weird. That's right. Everyone can think and feel you James. But that is it is a part of the spin-off those girls. The two actors are as far as I understand things change, you know, but that's what I understand is what's going on, right and they mentioned it at the the Hardys family. For that just happened in a couple months ago is last time I saw you Paul. Were they introduced Morgan Cohen and Joseline? That's right. James wasn't there he would know that I had health issues, but I I'm glad to know that is because I'm already hooked. I wouldn't know how I want to know what happens. I want to follow them and know what happens. So it really fit but it fit within this episode. It was a great centerpiece for this episode. Yeah, I think so as well and yeah a little Millie was, you know, trying to figure out if she could speak or if she couldn't speak or what is wrong with her and why you know, that was a fun. She's a great little actress. I saw her on the good doctor as well. She isn't she that if you watch the good doctor you'll see every one of your homework favorites guest starring on that show. Yeah, she shoots in Vancouver and all they just bring over tons of great actors to that show that's good. I really enjoyed her because for as little as she said she still spoke a lot. She said a lot, you know via body language and just fell for her also, especially with her and her sister Charlotte and you know, just their storyline and having Galvin read to her multiple times throughout the episode was like alright going. Yeah, at least it's nice to see a softer side of him. I think I think Hardy's are routing to for 4-gallon to be a good guy. You know, it was really fun. Like it's a lot of dialogue but Martin coming got to read it. Like he didn't have to memorize it because I had a dream like the dream monologue. We were like reading the story and she was she's really fun to work with he was great to work with always as well. Some of my favorite days were with him and with and with Calvin. Yeah, I was gonna ask you a question. That depends. Okay. Well, You know as this try as you would happen. No, my question to you is playing a doctor has that changed your view on the medical profession. I don't know if it's changed my view so much of the current medical profession, but it has I didn't realize what they how limited the medicine was before modern times so that it really changed my perspective on and how lucky we are to where if something goes horribly wrong that we have such a sophisticated system to handle it where a cold or a flu could take someone out and like you never know someone left on their Carriage if you're going to see them again for real like it wasn't just like You know bless your journey. It was like I hope I see you again. They're stiff, you know, there's you it was right around when penicillin and there's a lot of so it's fun to do the research and it's I'm always obsessed with all things medical and health and nutrition and and that that stuff is so it's been a fun character to look into and to understand what the limitations were around that time and some of the Simplicity made things pretty they were very creative, too. Wow. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, it's great seeing the the scene with you and nurse faith when you're examining Millie to see if she has any physical disabilities that would wouldn't allow her to speak and it just shows just how much your character Carson has like really been like more dependent upon when it comes to a lot of health issues. Yeah. I mean, there's some the only doctor and / vet in town. I mean if there's a foul that needs to be delivered Go help with that. I mean, I guess the closest thing to a vet is a doctor, right? So yeah, there is you know, there's its it was an interesting time where if you got hurt you really you were you had to your life could be wrist at risk. It depends on how sick you were right. So it's fun to play with that for sure. Yeah. And yeah, of course they back to gallon really quickly you touched upon it just be quick about going. Yeah. There's a whole Redemption story line because they want to make him they want to redeem your I think the fans want to see it to you. Oh, you have no idea what's coming writing such a tease. That's what you're hoping for Redemption story. Are you? Yeah, I actually I hope you get it. I'm hoping for Redemption. I think the Hardys know how much against gallon but they give him a good storyline. He has to earn his way into my heart to get that redemptions. Is that all right? He's a little bit if he's done a lot a lot of shady stuff. As a grown adult man, like it's gonna take a lot for you. Yeah for me to like warm up to you a little bit counts. Well, it's a new season. You may have a many obstacles to overcome in your love or it may be easy. I wish I could tell you I'll seriously I actually have a prediction. Oh, that's but that's two predictions later at the end of the show. You have to soon after that. We of course we do tune in for that. But yeah, I did enjoy your moments with Millie cuz you know Millie. You got to see it just about everybody in town really she got around like that. It's true. She had this shit a lot of scenes and she had no lines. Like what's the best gig ever she's fantastic little actress. Like I said, I'm a good doctor. She had this great little role and and also on our show when she did finally speak at school really great. Yeah. What was also great was Sheriff bill. I love how he, you know knew something was off. I knew something wasn't really adding up. They had eight kids and seven and then he he does his duties and then unfortunately we get Agnes McCutcheon's all involved in the try to take Mill away and you can't take kids away. You can't separate them from family. We've seen this before when they try to take Cody away the first time like no we just you know, it breaks your heart. Yeah and their siblings like you don't separate siblings, and that's what they were arguing for and and it took her a while, but she finally came around. I mean she was a great Antagonist I thought for a while there as well. And then you know, we're all wanted to wring her neck and Bill. I don't know if you caught there's a scene in the infirmary where she waits for bill for Jack Wagner's character to open the door for her as you must do and that day and it was like Jack Ruru Jackson build reluctantly opens the door for her. It's a funny little moment. I'm sure some people caught it. Oh, yeah, cuz that was the moment when they were supposed. He was supposed to bring the later and She's like he was like, I know she's at the saloon with at the feast and then he had opened her because she was just gonna go get herself, but I have it in my notes AKA. Mr. Grinch. Mr. Grinch. Every Christmas needs a grants to remind us how lucky we are to have festive times, but she warmed up near the end and it because I loved how she saw what Lillian and Grace were really doing for her. Yeah. It may not have been the best ideal way to go about it and how it all turned out but The intentions were there and I think Agnes saw that yeah, it sounds right worth it's funny because it also as I always say I go will always go a little deeper and guava show so relatable because it's still relates to today. It comes to adoptions and orphans and that means I get there's a there's a protocol so to speak to handle these things and there's some things that you know are Beyond protocol. I just it's very relatable. He's very relatable. Hmm. Yeah, and I loved how the kids the Hope Valley kids and especially Cody I mean you have amazing scenes with Carter all throughout the seasons and in the past and in the future that will eventually see but it just what what Cody did in this episode and it was on his his own terms that he wanted the orphans to have a good Christmas because he was in that position not that long ago. Mmm. I thought that was very sweet. Yeah, the kids came together and gave away their prized possession which we saw them earn Barry difficulty to get that kite and then to give it away. It was really sweet and even opal gave away brownie did Did you not see that? Yeah. Oh my goodness. Yeah, James. What did you think of the children? I know you love them. Are you I loved the casting people. However, When Calls the Heart hits that you know, I love the children. I'm such a fan of the children and they just picked great people and great little actors to do these scenes. I'm always moved always moved. I mean Cody's going to be like the mayor future mayor whole rally in support of her helping her wonderful season 15 or seasoned agents. Twenty whatever y'all are all that is. Yeah, he's got reach our run the place, but it just I mean they just they think when I when I saw opal giveaway brownie at the end I was like, oh my goodness. She's kind of passing Brownsville the show for so long. I got married like real a fellow something for like, okay, that's very sweet. But by brownie, I guess right would you you wouldn't have given your brown are way would you go I kept it is growing up. Yes. And it's always hard to watch your kids grow up. It's like all the growing up. This is it I feel this way about the whole the whole rally kids. I could we continue but all of them. Yeah. Well, obviously, it's not Cody doing it. It's the writers write creating it. So it's they've really pulled together an emotional like we all watch it together Christmas and Kate. My lovely girlfriend was like next to me tearing up and my friend Gina was there and my mom and it was like we had a big group watching it and I was like, this is really good episode. It was really really tugged at the heartstrings and and covered. I love that. We got to go on a big adventure with horses in the woods and I love having a horse on the show. Oh, you're back, right Herbalife. I am. Yeah, I grew up around animals and our neighbors had horses and I said like for Bible Camp. I let our kids a couple years up into the Rocky Mountains on Horseback. So I've had a good amount of experience. I'm by no means a pro and I still sometimes when they get moving I have you have to really relax and find your groove but still tighten your thighs enough that you stay connected and not grab the knot in front of you so you look, Beginner when you feel like you're being and yeah, it's nice having those horrid. I really hope they the as technology advances that we don't lose the horses to some cars which there's more Court ours as you see, right? Yeah. I love her good the 14 models like coming close into that production line and and down here. You know, Henry Ford's working I come from that area so I know yeah and I and I think you know just going back to the Cody like he also had a great moment and the previous Christmas episode to building the whole North Pole for for his mom and all that. That's right. Cody has some great moments, especially in the the Christmas episode. So it's a big cast its they gotta they it's interesting how they find a way to give everyone a bit of a storyline what's wrong. It's a big cast now, it's keeps growing right so many storylines to and we even getting onto Like Jesse and Clara. Yeah team classy. Yes, yes. Yes Jesse getting tickets to The Nutcracker James. What are your thoughts of this? We know what fan of this of this duel. I've been a fan for very beginning and of course two actors. I love the whole thing is it's funny. I love that the men had to come together to dress him out of that was so I thought was such an authentic moment because you know, he's a young guy with no he's dressed up to go to the theater, but he wouldn't know me. I can't stop he doesn't come from that kind of life and at the guys kind of reluctantly had to come together. Other and still be manly enough to do it and come together and kind of dress him out of there was a great great male bonding moment. I loved it. Yeah, and it took all of us to come together with her clothes and everyone had a little piece to you know, that's how I think of people's life should be we take care of and I wouldn't you need a village takes a village sometimes to go see The Nutcracker. But yeah, I'd like that we came together to help him like that. Everyone had a little piece to live. Yeah, the human puzzle you Hadley shoes and cufflinks your shirts gallons coat and bills pants. I get those are crazy measurements. But you know Aaron buckles, he's a tall guy. He's got that I did like that moment and Clara look gorgeous in her dress. Oh my goodness my goodness. But yeah, that was sweet the now, you know, they can have a good Christmas because also Jesse in the previous on just keep going back to the previous Christmas episode and bye Jesse wanted to do something nice for Claire and by those gloves and now he's stepping his game up for The Nutcrackers though. Yeah that the young witch couple generation. Yeah. Hopefully we'll see some more of them. You know, we see young love we see some young loved ones series about be nice. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely and then Abigail and all of this, of course, she wanted the characters that who is consistently interacting with everybody, you know in the show putting on this Christmas feast and yet People keep changing the menu on her and she does not like it this roast. She accidentally left a burn and then you know, they have to go to bed soon Hills. Yes shit all the turkey but to get them to get them less you end up getting a sausage or something Swami salami for Christmas a new tradition and that gets them into the woods to get lost to and break down. Right? Right. It will definitely get to that bit James that what were your thoughts of a Abigail and just her involvement with the everybody in the Christmas, you know community in that whole meal that character Abigail she must be tired. I mean she is like everywhere. I mean she is I mean, she's with everybody everywhere. She does it so effortlessly and flawlessly. I just love that character so much and that's why I always tell other I tell women and gross watch the show. They show strong women on this show. And Abigail is like one of the strongest and she has her hands and everything. I mean, she has her hands in everything and she She's wonderful and she can do comedy. You know, Lori looking to do comedies you dramatic moments. I mean, she just brought it this episode just like I needed her to for When Calls the Heart Christmas special. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah loved it. Yeah, she's amazing. She's so fun to work with to she's very present in the one quality really wanted an actor's generosity and she is very generous that is for sure. Absolutely and speaking of Comedy not to completely digress, but the only show I've been changed to over Christmas break was full. Their house the new season I did say a lot of am Becky does in the past two weeks to but you know that just a testament to amazing how Lori is John and her character in the show? Because yeah, there was comedy but the whole roast burning but also like drama and seriousness when she was young Elizabeth and all that and getting the girls coming together putting up the nursery delivering a baby living a baby, which yeah, well be so proud of being so proud of her son. Ask you is looking at Cody and some of the scenes that she was so proud of him that he's growing up to be this this thoughtful young man. You see that her performance hmm amazing amazing. So before we get more into the baby and then obviously the elephant in the room, which we definitely have to get to that just want to take a quick moment to thank you everyone for always tuning into one Calls the Heart I AfterBuzz TV even like no matter what time of the year that you know, we cover the episodes were two weeks.

Thank you Kendall as we get your guitar all stopped up buddy, Kendall who I've known for ages and ages. Yes, I can. Hi Kendall. He's on the sidelines. First some he's a amazing musician and is here doing some really exciting work with Hans Zimmer. He's a composer my buddy. Yes. I love Hans. Yes. See ya. Yes. It is. Right and he actually did the music for my short film that I directed and wrote last quarter like a few months ago can did all my posts all my music and my sound and and original score its kind of sounds like a doors. The the short film I directed and wrote is has a heavy doors theme and the main character ends up at Jim Morrison's grave in Paris. For the climax of the things that's pretty cool. Really? Yeah, I'll have to yeah, it's and I'm gonna once it's going to go to I can't are it. I can't put it anywhere because this a there we go. I can't put it out until it's hit some of the shows around the world and some of the festival's if it's out online at you disqualify yourself. So, okay, so you have to Get it into festivals before you can actually let it anybody see it especially or you're disqualified. So it's a journey being a director is different than being actually show up and like mr. Green where we would you would you like for lunch and being a director? There's a lot more to it. You steer the first one there. The last one to go months before months after this is an old song probably wrote. It was like 22 and Yeah right here that telephone ringing. Let the machine pick it up because I'm tired of facing the music. I'm tired of all that stuff down 22 years old today. What do I have to show I can go anywhere that I want in this world and I never feel. Alone, you're my best friend. You're my best friend. You're my best friend. When I'm up when I'm down when I'm in when I'm out when I'm fat when I'm feeling when I'm covered in sin when my cause out of gas and I'm low on cash when my faith is dry, and I'm wondering why you're my best friend.

You're my best friend. hahaha Thank you so much. I think you always gets a little toasty when you sing and play the someone turns out someone goes and finds a thermostat turns up the heat when you're seeing it. I guarantee it like the same person that steals your left socks. I have my When Calls the Heart thermos for thank you. But yeah, that was beautiful. So many hotties are jealous because you know, I got the best seat in the house. Beautiful why thank you. It's a very old song but it has a lot of meaning. Yeah, I bet. Yeah so good so good. So we'll just have to keep having you come back so you can just sing to us. All right deal sounds like a deal. Yeah. So amazing love it moving on Elizabeth. And I mean she had arguably the best moment and the whole Christmas, you know, Episode of course, we'll really let's start at the beginning with her. She's having all these fun Cravings pregnancy, you know, if she was having those behind the scenes as well like Phantom Rogue cravings for pickles. So three things really you're not pregnant are the get up but it's kind of a joke, but she ended up like yeah. Yeah. She she wore the I think she really preferred to have a belly then of course. Yeah, that's what she said, you know during the interview when I I last talked to her but um, yeah. Said it was easier to move around. It's more fun. And yeah, you can breathe and a place to put your treats exactly the best moment used to eating. The cookies is like rabbit. That's why I said grab the cookies that was hysterical, you know during during all that because you know, she's eating for two just like a normal pregnant woman what James over your thoughts of seeing pregnant Elizabeth? It look real performance in general this whole episode. She had to rent she had a range of emotions from funny too. Everything was amazing. Yeah, her range was amazing. It just as always there's showcases episode. But the funny most I thought I was waiting to see them be any Cravings was going to happen and the look. We're faced with Ned Yost and it's always just it was hilarious. You know, it's just kind of just it just it it's like true to life. I mean, I've been around bringing people for and they get your Cravings. I love that love it and the way she carried herself going down the stairs or walking across the town. She's like got a waddling like she's definitely sold. It definitely looked like and we in want felt like helping her because she's seem like a pregnant person. So helping her to cross her voice to get extra. Thanks. That's so funny. Yeah, and we're gonna we see her walking all around town. I was like someone should help her. She shouldn't keep walking by herself. But you know, she's strong independent woman. She could take care of her. That's right. And also they threw it was something it's really real the mother of one of my daughter's hate it when people wanted to touch her stomach all the time. I know for women a lot of times that's a thing now, you can't touch your stomach and such as stomach are pregnant and it's the looks on, you know. Liz its face like okay go ahead, you know, they wanted their being kind and sure very real it's very real. Yeah. Yeah, she definitely sold it and but I also the real moments were when cuz we know unfortunately Jack has passed and the whole past finale he's not here anymore. And we see those real moments where she she's nervous because she has to do this motherhood all by herself and she misses Jack and I like those those moments. I was like, oh, yeah, you're not the only one who misses. Each attic James your thoughts. Okay kids the two times I cried this episode. We're both moments with Elizabeth. And the first one was when because I loved her the nuances that she said that Aaron played Elizabeth with the not doing the room not doing the nursery yet. There are a lot of Motions like, okay y'all get up there and actually go into the room and she's drop off the stuff that was dropped off and kind of like walk out the room. She wasn't enthusiastic about it. So Finally came and did the room and says missing one thing and she brought in the picture. I just started sobbing. I just started start crying. I was like this is because I got you. I've lost people mom. I like recently all and it just touch that because it will be a happy occasion and it is a happy occasion the show but it's bittersweet and I think the audience needed that also I think the Hardee's in the event also and her just bring the picture right there. I was like, oh my God, you're killing me. Now now now you can Now you got me. Yeah, I think the first time. Now the first that was the first time II Lost it was that moment. I lost it later on called melts first. I'm curious to hear what your second time was. But yeah, it was a real touching moment for everybody. I think the writers did a really great job of acknowledging Jack's passing in a way that it didn't dwell on it and it didn't move on too quickly. Like I really I think they really spent the right time in the right places with how the there's in these little moments where she's like, I miss Jack and I think it's really important to not rush through that but it's also important not to dwell on it and allow her to move on. So I think that that was the that was not an easy line to walk and I really think that the writers found a way to do that to find to give a little bit of everything to everyone so they could mourn a bit and also be ready to move on quickly not so quickly that you don't honor what a carrot that character and also that the who he was for Elizabeth and as a butt but they Did a really good job of walking that line. I find absolutely I completely agree with everything. Paul said I completely agree that line. What is a very fine line and an awkward line like not not your out not the easiest thing to manage and the it was die thought was down really well. I agree. Yeah, I agree completely agree and I mean and speaking of honoring Jack unfortunately during the whole winter storm to get caught up in the baby comes she goes into labor early a whole month early. Which is why a lot of parties were wondering including myself for like how does that fit in a timeline? Because they did reveal during a Hardee's family reunions for during the interviews that we would see a baby and we were all wondering how that's a little too early you get caught in a winter storm. And yeah that put you into stress and labor. Yeah. Well they crashed the car. Yeah, but little baby Jack is now here. He has arrived James your thoughts on the baby Jack. Here we go. This is the part. That made me okay, so I'm going through something right now that I think it's it doesn't fit see what calls Hearts is. So relatable Like This falls into it. My daughter Monica is turning 30 in a couple of days. I know I would 30 year old daughter. It's crazy and over the holiday. She got engaged to her longtime boyfriend and and I always I was telling her the story cuz I'm going to actually officiate the wedding. They asked me to marry that as a very touching moment. I always tell her I said when you were born When I had you already I loved you from what I thought you were coming. But when I had you in my arms, I completely fell in love and I didn't even know what that it's just it's a feeling that I came compared to anything else and the line that Elizabeth says to Abigail about she knew about, you know be great. But this is like amazing. I'm like, I was just crying a baby. I was crying for all the times. She conveyed that so well that now she has this baby and it's like no other feeling in the world. There's no there's no other feeling in the world and And she's a piece of Jack with her obviously as his of her, but I am right now. I'm relating to his going back to the whole baby thing in my daughter's. I just it's just I I cried so much. I thought was a great. It's a great line and a great seen some after all that drama. Yeah and Paul you're a father and yeah, I'm sure and just as a parent tag, did you relate to the seeing now seeing like baby come into? I don't know. He's my son's 15 and a half. So we're dealing with getting a Learner's permit and like how so the baby face seems to be but you know, I have a my was wife my ex and she has two little ones that I have the privilege of spending some time with so one's almost 2 and the others just a couple months. So Alec I was born then so yeah, it's I love kids but my son's well 15 and long past. You actually have brought you back to the Moment hey of having your little job maybe girls are different because all I remember as soon as my son was old enough to play with me watching that scene about being so euphoric. They're having this big hunk. It's a miracle have a baby. Yeah, I praise all women who give birth. It's a miracle. I was the I saw the birth. I saw how it works and it's a miracle baby comes out alive. Yeah, so to see this cute little We were to the baby on the show is Q2 it took me right back. Yeah, there's nothing like there's nothing like it being a parent. That's for sure. Yeah, I was so sure. All right, maybe I just convinced myself that you your character Carson was going to be so involved and baby delivery, you know, like you did not see it this that it would be delivered this way. Yeah, because I think it is a good twist for everyone even me when I was first writing the script and like there's a baby born and I didn't do it. So what happened? Here, I guess it's Aunt Becky and which is actually the most fitting I think do, you know to have the women come together and help bring this child into the world? I think there was very needed. Yeah, it's because this sweet moment with them out there for sure just shows again to show these women are strong there are strong and not stronger than the men. They're just as strong on the show and it showed that they didn't they didn't falter they found shelter and they had heard Rosemary my Rome they were there for the birth of this baby. And yeah, it just it just goes to show what kind of show this is that they yeah, give women's Frank also, so it'll be fun to see how Elizabeth and just like you said earlier takes a village to raise a child. It'll be fun to see how Elizabeth raises this baby, you know on her own but everybody else there. Oh, yeah, but you got a whole season for that. You got his whole season to see how this baby. Grows up and who gets to help Elizabeth because she's now she also has to be a teacher and a parent and a part of the community. So it's yeah, I mean the the community gets to come together a lot in this season to help each other. Yeah. Absolutely. I just want to mention two with everybody also and that's Rosemary is also in this episode and the cutest moment that actually brought Unexpectedly brought me to tears my eyes a little bit because I guess I do have daughters was the scene with the three girls each wearing one of her dresses. It came down the stairs and it was such a cute little scene. Yeah, chill your Christmas Past your predatory. I start tearing up for some reason. I'm like maybe that daughter during that time of the year. Yeah. It hit me. I thought I loved that scene and you're seeing how far Rosemary's character issues come from from when she first came on hmm actually so involved and I did love that moment to you know, wearing all the or dogs because I just thought she's gonna be a good mom when Daddy comes with her her and Leanne's like me, she'll be a great mother and I loved it because the even the last Christmas special like she's she was organizing the town events and same thing with the season, you know, bringing together and everybody putting up to decoration. She played a pivotal role and even you know, setting up the nursery for Elizabeth like she was ever as well. Everyone has storylines in this episode. Yeah. Yeah, it's cast is Big isn't it? It's a big cast right now. It seems like yeah, she's true humble. It's true try and find a trailer to live in for the day. Yeah, he's just crazy. Yeah also my question Paul to you this season because we saw a little bit of it last season. We also had Andrea on our show. Oh did you say PSO? She was in town right? I know she actually skyped in like James is doing right now, but she was on our wedding though the wedding episode with the jacket Elizabeth, but we were just wondering and what you can and can't tell us so not to spoil anything. Where is Carson and Faith heading in season 6. Well, it's not much of a spoiler they show us walking together and they have throughout the season seen a fair bit of us doing scenes together. So I think it's pretty safe to say that that that you'll see a good amount of us together on the screen it but I'm not going to give away to you what happens Don't want that you thinking about you really don't do you it's more fun to imagine what happens and then be surprised and there's some Adventures that we get to go on now that's for sure Adventure adventures. And yeah, and we were able to share some of it through social media like we're on horses and picnics and we did a few we had a guy got the chance. She's a lovely person and a terrific actor as well so I can see it's a good part of the first part of the season I had to spend I got to spend with her. Yeah. That's great. Her love her love her love her. Love Andrea. We love her that yeah, we always get to sing to which I love on our days or our time off in between. Sometimes they schedule it. We're in an early scene and then we have brakes and fortunately we get together and sing sometimes with my guitar and Jack Wagner's next door with his guitar. It's like the battle of the guitars. Yeah people in live chatter actually asking like how often do you see anything with Jack not very often once in a while terrible. Winter storm when we were stuck in traffic going from work into Vancouver and then being I hear I'm next door, but we're sometimes in between things so not that much once or twice. Yeah, but that's another reason why we should have the musical episode so we can see everyone sing everybody sings just down that out there into the universe and a half. I not yes. Yes. Yes. So wrapping up this episode pot. What was your favorite part of the Christmas special my favorite? I think was working with Millie that she's such a great just see looking into her eyes and I'm like, you've got some bright eyes when I was looking at her and and and then I was trying to make her laugh and in one of the rehearsals I made her laugh and I was like see you can you can talk. I know what I like bark there. I made some sort of a that that those scenes with her were really really sweet and then just being on the horses I think being out in nature. Like I was like we were with Jack and Gavin looking for the Miracle Christmas baby and the girls being out and doing take after taken. We had to make all that snow. None of that was real and it looked so good. So impressed with the how our snow team was on point man. This dude looked amazing are the snow would look so good. Yes. It did and I just came from Illinois. So like I know what snow looks like but also because the the Christmas special was actually filmed later like you because you know, Any film in the summer, but it was filmed in October. Thank God during the whole reunions. So how was that for you as a nice nice to be cold when it's cold and not have to be sweating like it's it was great. It was nice. They'd be in the feeling of like, you know, we have to act cold, even if it's like a hundred degrees out. So to be able to actually be cold, but was able to sell the snow a little bit so it helped his nice. It's just end the feeling was there the nostalgic feeling not to be in the middle of August and pretending that we're in Christmas land. Like 90 degree weather which we always have to do for Christmas movies the set like gorgeous there when we were there for Asia far from yeah big shout-out to those how hard they worked our set dick team and our our whole props team everyone with the work that they do with the time that they do because the scripts come in and then we got to turn it around sometimes really fast and they do it and they make it look like that where it's just you know, there's a few episodes where they were they build certain things. Square your just like how long did it take you to build that if they're like a day and a half and you would take most of us like six months to build it there very fast right fast turnaround, especially cuz you know, you're filming and I don't a half worth of an episode. You got it do it quick. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I love it and all turned out amazing. I loved this episode James. What were your thoughts of you know, the final thoughts of this episode. Once again, I always say this every year it's like comfort food and it's completely gives you Everything you need and it's night is easily digestible and it's it gives you a message. It's positive if we had some we had some drama we had some comedy kids. We had adults. I mean, it's just I said, we have some diversity. It was great. I loved I thought once again it was everything that I hoped it would be and you know, a lot of series lose momentum has a kind of you know, stay on the air season after season. Yeah. I think we're picking up momentum. It feels like things are getting even like more emotion. Depth and more people are finding their characters in the writing I think is gonna is really strong and I think you're right thing. This does not have the feeling of losing momentum and especially I've seen some cuts of the earlier parts of this seat episodes in the season and they're terrific hearing you speak about comfort food makes me so hungry. I'm on days. I'm on day two of a water fast. I've I'm on a 10-day fast like like a New Year's just it's a it's a really there's a group of us doing it together. So I'm not alone. My partner's doing it and then a group of us. So this is day two and just as you said comfort food, I would like imagined my mouth started actually water. I should talk about like biscuits and gravy from Bob Evans or like some pounds. Your final thoughts other than the comfort food this this this show is really good. And yeah, it's really nice show and it gives you a bit of everything and I think people I mean it was great for Christmas Eve Richard A Night Rachel Chris. That's it. I love that they have it then and it got really really great ratings. I'm not sure if you guys saw that. Yeah, so and it was fun for us. We had a big Christmas dinner and then we watched it and we open presents or did we open presents? It's first know we open presents first. And then we then we watch it was great. It was a fun thing to do with the whole family. Yeah. I was just my family and then after everyone has stuff their faces with the all the Italian food from my family that we actually got my mom and sister to watch the Christmas special with me. All right, I was like, oh we're watching When Calls the Heart obviously, but yeah, it was good and it was limited commercials. I like the way that it was it went fast though. Yeah. Yeah did just like this after show we're time. But before we go, we have our one last final segment, which is protection Thanks James. Yeah, he's not in the studio, but he still does it love it. Love it. So James go predictions predictions. Elizabeth will not have a relationship this season. Yeah, I think this season will be all about her finding her way as a as a single parent and as a working single woman in that that time period I think we all about her figuring that out with you. That's my big prediction can absolutely and Paul. I know you can't really predict anything. I've heard. I predict aliens. I'm predicting that at some point there would be an invasion of aliens. Who knows. Yeah alternate. This is a Sci-Fi show. And of course on a vertical networks. You can find our sci-fi but I yeah, I don't really have a prediction per se but it's more kind of wish that I want to see and I mentioned earlier that it involves gown, but I thought how great would it be if gone adopted million Charlotte because they looked amazing together like down could be Be a father figure especially because they quote unquote looked. He looks like their father. Uh-huh. I was like, you know what I could see this if you if you want to build a Redemption story for going uh-huh, it deaths two kids and then boom you have me I'm set I can't wait to see what's coming from the gallery if you fantastic, but that's obviously that's not a prediction. That's definitely wish. But yeah, and I agree James I don't think Elizabeth is going to be in a relationship per se because we have to Eyes to new guys coming to the show as well. She also mentioned that know their friends quote unquote friends. So I think I'll mostly just be Elizabeth and the baby this season and everybody else involved. That's right you all right?
