Road to Avonlea Forum

Hello Rolanda, Welcome!

I suppose some come back now and then. The forums don't appear to be that active anymore (facebook and twitter kinda killed them) although the Sullivan forums on the Road to Avaonlea website appear to still have some activity.

I havn't read the book or seen the film but from some of the reviews i've read, its actually very different from the book. Try reading the comments on IMDB, thats where I think I got my information from.

In some ways that whole Cecily fiasco may have been avoided if they had just cast Asia Vierea instead of Harmony. With Roger I think the last time I heard him mentioned was After The Honeymoon when he sends Jasper that Vampire Bat. I don''t think that Andrew was mentioned again after The Ties That B...

I think the quote may have been misinterpreted. I think she was just making a joke that it was embarrissing that she had to go through puberty in period clothing. I don't think she was necesarily saying the whole series was an embarrassment.

I always wondered why the series finale wan't a two hour special like most are. I agree with previous comments that there were too many unecessary episodes in the final season. From Away and Davey and the Mermaid were completly useless and it should have been fairly easy to schedule a two part. I wo...

Finally!
Its good to see some refreshing analysis on this post.
I agree with almost everything you've written here.

This is kind of off topic but I noticed that Molly's Cecily only appears with Digger in one Episode(Homecoming). After that Digger is written out of the series. I am assuming that the new Cecily and digger didn't fit as well together as they did when Cecily was played by Harmony. Also with Felix gro...

Don't get me wrong the other roles that some of the avonlea cast got are great. There just not big on the terms of what Sarah Polley(Jackie Burroghs in her lifetime) has achieved. Many have preffered to stick to stage work and others (notably Zachary Bennett) have switched to the music industry.

Like starring roles in well known movies or television and not Tv Movies or TV guest star on the CBC for example.

Its unfortunate that almost all the RTA cast (not counting Sarah Polley or Jackie Burroghs) never had any other major acting roles after the series ended. Its too bad because they were all equally talented and could have had better roles in film and television.

The article I read was dated 2008 and her last acting credit was Murdoch Mysteries in 2008(IMBD).
I should have clarified that earlier.

A while ago I read an article about her father Lou Zamprogna (unfortunately I can't find the article) and it stated that Gema had retired from acting in order to be with her family. Maybe in the future when her kids are older she may return to acting.

Corner Gas was a good show. It aired on the US on WGN America in Chicago. Although I heard it didnt get a lot of viewers and ended up airing at 3 in the morning there. I agree that it's wrong to include Anne and Avonlea as one entity. I saw Avonlea before I saw the Anne movies. I never got into Anne...

I've been reading all the episode descriptions analysis and I have noticed for a while now that there is no grade marking for Felix and Blackie. I was just wondering why that was?
