I know fans of the show will be deeply saddened by the loss of Ty and I hope that they can join Amy and the Heartland family during this season of healing. And when something devastating happens it feels as though our world is ripped apart and could never be put back together. There are things in our lives we can never prepare for. What would you say to fans who are upset Ty is no longer on the show? He and Amy have been the centrepiece of this show since Day 1. Graham and I still spoke often throughout the season and I was able to visit him recently as well. In a way, the longevity of the Amy and Ty story gave me inspiration as an actor to be able to feel the grief and sorrow of losing that character. This year was a strange new reality on all fronts. Graham and I have had many beautiful stories on Heartland over the years and have remained very close friends off-set as well. As a cast member and friend of Graham’s, how hard has it been to not have him around on-set?ĪM: The story of Amy and Ty has been very prominent since Heartland’s beginning. Sunday’s episode revealed that, unfortunately, Ty developed complications and passed away. In some ways it allowed me to get more ‘homework’ done during the day, but the social side of Heartland looked very different.

Lunches were now spent alone in our trailers or vehicles and any time we had in between setups or scenes was usually spent the same way. This all had to change in season 14 to allow for COVID protocol to be followed. We spend many hours on set in close quarters and typically in between scenes and setups we usually all huddle together and run lines, or chat socially. We are a group that hugs when we meet in the morning and when we leave at the end of the day. How difficult was it for you and the Heartland family to adapt to filming during the pandemic?ĪM: Being such a close and social workplace, it took a while to become consistent with a new routine. The cast and crew have remained close and all have each other’s best interests in mind.ĬOVID-19 threw a wrench in everyone’s lives.

We genuinely love and respect one another. The beautiful thing is the excitement we all shared to be a part of that first season, is still strong over a decade later. Can you believe it’s been 14 seasons already?Īmber Marshall: It seems like only yesterday we were all meeting for the first time. Here, Amber Marshall answers our questions about Ty’s death and what it means for Amy and the rest of the family moving forward.Ĭongratulations on Season 14 of Heartland. “Keep Me in Your Heart” was an emotional hour with a memorial for Ty as its centrepiece, a year-later goodbye for the characters that was truly emotional. On Sunday night, viewers learned that Ty succumbed to the gunshot injury he received in Season 13. Instead, I let the Season 14 premiere of Heartland speak for itself.Īnd, sadly, as those rumours were true. We the rumours true, those emails asked? I don’t like rumours, so I didn’t address them. There were rumours among Heartland fans that Ty Borden (Graham Wardle) would not return to the show. His relationship with Amy has been the ultimate highlight of the show.Midway through last fall, TV, Eh? began getting emails. he not only became a brilliant rancher, but also an amazing boyfriend and then a husband that would privatize his family more than anything else in the world. Thankfully, Ty Borden did not have to work hard to prove himself since he was already an amazing young boy who was looking for an opportunity in his life to make sure he will have a good life. The fact that he was coming from an abusive family and had some kind of a shady past put him in a critical position as he had to prove himself all the time.

Ty Borden has been a vital part of the show and even a part of the family as soon as he entered the scene. Besides, before her death, Marion welcomed a teenage boy to the ranch as a worker since he was coming from a troubled family and required a place to live: Ty. So, the family had to face their anger and resentment for each other while looking for a way to live together after all those years. Heartland Graham Wardle- Ty Borden Ty Borden Heartland
