Read excerpt
There is a behind-the-scenes story that has become part of Heartland lore. It was 2006, and the cast and crew of the series were filming the pilot for the long-running CBC family show. There were a number of young performers on set. Lead actors Amber Marshall, who plays Amy Fleming, and Michelle Morgan, who plays her older sister Lou, were there. Graham Wardle, who played Ty until 2021, and Jessica Amlee, who played Mallory until 2014, were also on hand. Most of them were relatively new to show
