I have binge watched this series through season 9 several times. While I am disturbed by Hallmark not showing ALL the episodes; 9 years provides a lot of entertainment. I very much enjoyed Mr Lissing as Jack, and Ms. Laughlin as Abigale, I’m sorry they both left. That being said; I am very impressed with the quality of actors; children and adults (and Rip), the casting directors came up with. I am looking forward to season 10! Kudos Hallmark! PS: I want to add that I was all for the Elizabeth & Lucas attraction. The mountie in my mind never stood a chance. I could not see Elizabeth opening her heart to the dangers of a Mounties life again. And he is a social buffoon. Lucas is an honest businessman and appears to have great chemistry with Elizabeth & little Jack.
