Does Amy Get a New Love Interest?
Many fans hoped that romance was in the air for Amy in season 16. At the beginning of the season, it seemed that that may be the case, however, Amy does not remarry.
Originally, season 16 set up a potential romance between Amy and Finn. However, the actor who played Finn, Robert Cormier, sadly passed away in real life. As a result, any romance between Finn and Amy was put to a halt.
Finn was a farrier who first arrived at Heartland Ranch with his grandfather and Shire horse. His kindness and charm quickly gained the attention of Amy.
As time went on, Amy and Finn got to know each other better and a connection began to form between the two of them. While things were not always easy between them, they clearly shared a mutual attraction.
However, things did not pan out between Amy and Finn. Amy reveals that she is not ready to move on from Ty, as she still loves him with his whole heart. In the meantime, Finn ends up getting back together with his ex-fiancee, Kristi.
While Amy and Finn, unfortunately, don’t work out that doesn’t mean that a new relationship is out of the question for Amy in the future. Amy is also well acquainted with Sam Langston, a former baseball player and fellow rancher.
Sam owns the neighboring Big River Ranch and enjoys helping Amy in her career as a horse trainer. While the two are not in a relationship yet, it seems there is a good possibility that love could bloom between the two ranchers.
There is also the potential that Amy could end up with Cooper from the Youth Centre or even Edwin, Rebecca’s dad. Perhaps in season 17 we will see a new romance for Amy.

With the help of Amy, Georgie is able to open up more and reignite her love for showjumping.
