#CEDAR COVE JULIA BENSON SERIES#

I am grateful I did because I have since developed an acquaintanceship with Giles that has been mutually beneficial. Giles himself may not have realized just how much I didn’t want to like his portrayal of John, and thankfully I looked beyond any preconceived notions. Ultimately, I decided to open my mind and give the poor guy a chance. As I saw it, I had no choice but to include him.

I remember only including him initially in my review because he was Maryellen’s boyfriend. Whenever a character is replaced with another actor, I think that is one of the most challenging things ever for an actor. I have to admit I was thoroughly unimpressed at first, but that was my prejudice speaking more than anything else. I admired the actor who originally played John, Maryellen’s reluctant boyfriend, but for whatever reason, he was replaced on this season’s show. Of course, there were more difficult “sells” on my list as a result of her character’s return. I always found Elyse strikingly beautiful as well as a natural actress. Having Elyse back was perfect as we watched her character support her mom through relationship and wedding issues. I remember her fondly from season two when she left for New York with her boyfriend, and my mom and I both cried along with Grace. The return of Elyse Levesque was sincerely embraced this season. And hey, she thinks Warren is cute so she can’t be all bad! Finally, Linnette has become a character with substance. I especially liked her as she spoke sharply to her depressed roommate and dealt with the fallout of learning she had a sister she never knew about after all these years. I’m still new to their world of acting, but I have to admit that I like what I saw in Cedar Cove this past season.Īlso new was Anna Van Hooft who played Linnette, and she also stole my heart in the last few episodes as her character finally became more than just a perky, kind girl with no backbone. Sarah Jane Redmond (Corrie), Mike Dopud (Roy)Īnd I am in the process of exploring more in the world of Sarah-Jane Redmond and Mike Dopud as they really sparkled in the finale. Since that time, I have been attempting to discover more of her works, and so in this way, I have made an unanticipated but welcome connection. Much to my amazement, not only did Tara Wilson comment so sweetly on my review, but she followed me as well. When Gloria caught my eye, I decided to include her in my review. Not because she wasn’t an impressive character but due to the fact that I was distracted by my favorites. I wasn’t taken with Gloria much until nearly the end of the season. (Okay, I’m exaggerating a bit, but there were plenty of new characters with whom to connect, and it was sometimes overwhelming to keep the story lines straight but very much worth it.) One unexpected connection was that of Tara Wilson who portrayed Gloria, the daughter whom Corey and Roy had put up for adoption many years ago. Part of this season was spent discovering new characters and actors as Cedar Cove boasted almost a cast of thousands this year. From imparting the value of what matters in this world to the precious humor and sometimes even competitive spirit, I thank Timothy for his heartfelt and comical portrayal of this cherished character. While he may not receive his due as an actor, his character’s presence in the show is something incredibly distinctive, and his fan base may be more extensive than most imagine.

All too often, he is known only by his character’s name, and sometimes his real name is forgotten. I remember last season when I first saw his name on the signed script I received from a contest win.

There is nothing quite like “Moon” in any series I have ever seen, and Timothy Webber is the man who brings this quirky but wise man to life.
