A Promise of Return and a Tribute
Hi there everyone, this certainly isn't the blog post I wanted to be my first after a much-needed, unannounced, extended break from the blogosphere to get my life in order. Things are looking much better now than they were when this break started, so I'll be back to posting regular episode commentaries very soon. But before we get back to our regular blog posts, I wanted to quickly address a piece of very sad news we all received this morning in the Heartland fan community. It has just been announced that the actor Robert Cormier, who played Finn, has passed away at the age of 33, just days before season 16, in which he was to become a regular, is scheduled to premiere in Canada on CBC this coming weekend. One of the things I have always loved about the show is how much it feels like the cast is one big family-- and how much the fact that they feel like a family makes me feel like I too am a part of that family. I am sure all of you Heartlanders know this feeling too....
