HEARTLAND’s Amber Marshall is sharing some details about the show’s seventeenth season.
“When I think about all the hours we have spent filming this show and…I’m still not sick of it, so that’s saying something!” she joked about HEARTLAND’s longevity.
Marshall also mentioned how nice it is to film the show outside, saying her fellow actor friends are in studios all day.
“I think that’s what makes us really lucky and what stands out about HEARTLAND is that we get to see it all, and we get to be a part of all the seasons and actually be outside enjoying the weather,” she explained.
The actress said the show’s stunning outdoor sets have “a warmth” in them that matches the themes of the show, adding, “The whole idea of HEARTLAND is this nice, family contentment and it’s found right here.”
She elaborated on HEARTLAND’s longevity and popularity with fans in an interview with TV Insider.
“I think fans are really looking for a nice, wholesome, family show that they can sit down together and watch and not be worried about the content. Not have to explain things to their kids,” Marshall explained. “That is their common thread. It’s something we can all enjoy and sit and talk about. In such a fast-paced world, where so many people are separated by devices and technology. Everybody is very disconnected, but they can still get together to sit and watch our show together.”
Marshall gave fans some teasers about what’s in store for her character, Amy, in the upcoming season.
“Amy is in a really good place in Season 17,” she shared. “There’s lots of fun stories [this season].”
Co-star Michelle Morgan spoke about the bond she and Marshall share as they play sisters on HEARTLAND.
“The truth is, for Amber and I, luckily our relationship has flourished over the years and we get along better than ever,” she explained. “With some shows, people get really sick of each other and don’t get along anymore but we have a great relationship and when we do scenes like that, it’s not super often. So we appreciate it…We get to do this scene as sisters.”
HEARTLAND has received positive reviews from fans and critics alike. A portion of the Movieguide® review for Season 12’s “Dare To Dream” reads:
HEARTLAND has consistently great writing and excellent filming and acting, with stunning scenery of the Canadian plains and Rocky Mountains. The program’s compelling characters show a warm and genuinely supportive family environment. The episode “Dare to Dream” stresses the importance of family, supportive friendships, patience, respect for others, kindness, honesty, hard work, overcoming weaknesses, and integrity. It also displays strong support for the bonds of holy matrimony. The characters have an understanding of the importance of marital bonds and offer support when those bonds are threatened. The characters aren’t perfect, though. They must deal with brokenness, loss and heartache, but they overcome these challenges with perfect love and support for each other. HEARTLAND is a wonderful TV show. It leaves viewers feeling uplifted and encouraged.
