Subject: Just wanted to say....

how much I absolutely adore you, Stewart. I fell in love with the Christy series when I was young, and always wondered how the series ended. It kept nagging at me, even after all these years, so I did some research and ordered the entire series on DVD. I didn't realize the series had been cancelled and there was no ending to my beloved Christy! But I did find the three follow up movies, and although they dragged it out painfully until the VERY end of the last movie, I finally got to see the ending I always dreamed of. I know it sounds incredibly silly, but watching the final wedding scenes brought such closure for me. I love the series, it's like the characters are friends, Cutter Gap feels like home. I would have loved to have lived in that time period, in a setting like Cutter Gap. In the beginnings of the movies when the 'old' Christy says visiting Cutter Gap "feels like coming home", I realized it almost felt that way to me ,too. I have never been so touched by a movie or series before. I have always teased freinds who get overly 'into' their favorite tv characters, but I guess sometimes a character or movie just speaks to your soul in a way that other people really can't understand. Christy spoke to me, and it touched my heart in so many ways. As did the character Neil.... I only regret that there were additional movies created. I guess I will just have to dream up on my own the beautiful scenes that played out after the wedding....

My love to you Stewart, may you be blessed in all you do, and may you have much happiness and love all the days of your life.

Thank you BC and Heather! I was glad to find a group of people who appreciate Stewart as much as I do. I enjoy reading all of your posts. I was especially excited to see that Stewart actually posts and comments on here. Hopefully I can become part of the 'family'.

Many thanks! I hope you have a wonderful day also. I have been reading older posts on here, trying to get a grasp on the different personalities of the group. I have laughed, been touched, inspired,and at times confused! You all seem like a very diverse group who share a common affection for one very wonderful man. I hope I can contribute something to the group worthwhile while also fulfilling this overwhelming need I feel to reach out to Stewart and touch his life in some small way the way he has touched mine.

Jenny, Thankyou so much for you kind words . I think if you read posts here you will indeed find all manner of personalities and topics. Over the years I've come to terms with all that the Christy series gave me and what indeed I gave it. Many times I've wondered how and why it came to pass that I was both blessed and cursed by that role. However whenever anyone such as yourself responds to it I find myself truly still amazed. As an actor one always invests in a character hoping the audience will respond in kind and appreciate your efforts. Sometimes for reasons both explainable and not, a character will take you to a place that you could never, given the best of your abilities, contrive. You will read here much on that topic by myself if you choose to seek it.That I was allowed such an acting experience was/is my good fortune. I've learned so much since by that character resonating, reverberating and just plainly refusing to not be a part of my existence going forward. It's truly humbling when you sit in a coffee shop as I do now and try to reconcile it all . What I can definitively say is thankyou for taking the time to visit here . Love on Ya Stewart

"I've learned so much since by that character resonating, reverberating and just plainly refusing to not be a part of my existence going forward."

Could you delve a little further into this. I am not quite sure I understand.

Thank you Stewart for replying. Just to be able to say thanks and know you 'heard' it really means a lot. I have spent a lot of time the past few weeks trying to understand what it was about the series that so deeply moved me. It was more than just watching a 'good' movie or show, it spoke to me, to the me inside of me. I feel this longing in me now, this need to 'fill' some part of me, or expand it rather. I'm not really sure how to express it in words, but I feel as if some part of me has awakened. I am sure when you play a role as an actor, surely the character must become a part of you in some ways. Especially when you play the role for a long period of time. I can't imagine that 'Mac' isn't a small part of who you are, as well as all the other roles you have played. Even though the character is essentially born through you, through your acting, I could still see how small parts of them would carry over and become a part of you. I know that by watching, the characters very much became a part of me and have awakened this need in me, this desire to be the person I was meant to be, to really open myself up to others, to be kind, to love others openly and without restraint, to make my life count for something, to reach out and make that 'act of faith'. I am not sure yet what 'it' is, but with time I'll figure it out and I have a feeling I will be a better person for it. All I know is it led me here, to you, and for now that is enough. Sorry for rambling on. Thank you ever so much for taking the time to read my post and reply. I look forward to getting to know you in the best role you have ever played, you.

Welcome to the boards, Jenny!

I think Stewart's role as Dr. MacNeill is what brought a lot of us here. And you are absolutely right that the series, or the story overall, is deeply moving and very powerful.

I hope you enjoy your time here!
