One of the most frequently asked questions in this fandom is, why Chris is not on Twitter, Facebook etc. to interact with his fans. So I decided to re-post part of the message, Chris sent me earlier this year:
"I must explain that while I may not actively participate on line, I do occasionally read your comments on the Heartland web site.
I have always felt that the true value of social media, as it relates to a TV show site like the Heartland website, should never be about self promotion. It should be about you, used by you, the loyal fans and friends to connect. To get to know each other through your shared interest in the series.
Heartland may end someday [Season 25?} but some of you will have made lifelong connections. I find the thought of that rewarding as a performer/director.
To this day I have people approach me to say that 20yrs ago they watched one of my shows with their Mom or Dad and that those were fond memories.
Well, those memories are being created today with the show we all love. Heartland. That is a very satisfying result of the hard work that goes into making it by the cast and crew.
Thank you all so much."
