New York Comic Con 2023 – Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams and Sadie Laflamme-Snow talk about The Way Home
While I was at NYCC 2023 I got to sit down with Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams and Sadie Laflamme-Snow to talk about Hallmark’s The Way Home.
Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh), her teen daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) and Kat’s mother Del (Andie MacDowell) are all strong, willful and independent. More than 20 years prior, life-changing events prompted Kat to move away from her small, Canadian farm town causing her to be estranged from Del. At a crossroads in her life, Kat moves back with Alice to her family’s farm, though the reunion isn’t what Kat envisioned. When Alice and Kat unwittingly discover the ability to travel between the past and present, mother and daughter are determined to unearth the truth around the earlier tragedies as they try to change the course of events. Kat’s childhood friend Elliot (Evan Williams) is there for them in both eras as they navigate their journeys across time, helping the three women find their way back to each other.
Amongst other things we talked about what their favourite parts of filming the show are and what it it is like working with younger actors to portray the same character at different ages. You can listen to the full interview below.
Due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, the cast members can only discuss the first season of the show. “The Way Home” is currently in production on Season 2 and is operating within strike rules under Global Rule 1. These rules allow the cast to participate in promotion of the show.
