    As a former child abuse caseworker who knew several children who went through severe abuse and/or neglect, and who many times had to receive parental love and affection from a non-biological parent, I found this to be one of the best episodes of the series. Jaeda moved me to tears multiple times over the last couple of weeks, as did Kevin. I thought the writers and actors handled the subject matter so well, and the actors let themselves go through heart-break to give us such compelling and emotional scenes. Kudos to all for a job very well done. Thank you for interviewing Jaeda, so we could glimpse even more how she fashions her craft in such spectacular form!

    I love that you have Jaeda Lily Miller on! Jaeda did amazing with her character Allie dealing with her issues regarding her birth father and how Allie and Nathan (Kevin McGarry) dealt with it. Their performances were super powerful! I loved the episode with the music when Allie and Nathan were singing with the guitar 🎸 too!
  • I really love Jaeda's effervescent personality and it's easy to see why she is so beloved by her castmates. We've seen many great performances in her fifty episodes on WCTH, but this episode was a whole new level! I'm thrilled that the showrunner (Lindsay) and the writers recognize her talent and trust her to deliver these great and convincing performances. Bravo!
  • Jaeda is a pure ray of sunshine... and a powerhouse of an actress!!! ☀
  • Great interview! Thank you all! Jaeda’s performance was absolutely amazing!
  • @Lucas-gaming-hi
    Your performance was stunning, Jaeda!! As an adoptive mom with a teenage daughter, this was a very sensitive storyline for us to watch together, and you and Kevin brought all the emotions and talent to the screen to portray it. Very well done! Thank you.🥹
  • Thank you for bringing Jaeda on! She was great and has a very bright future ahead. See you on Hallmark as a leading lady!
  • @aMAZEingU
    I've always been impressed with Jaeda's ability to emote and show emotion on her face in a way that draws in her audience. She is so believable. A lovely young lady who was a joy to listen to in this interview!
  • Wonderful interview, Jaeda! You ooze with enthusiasm and joy! Thank you for your insights and feedback. And thank you admins. I love the BTS details!!

  • @kimmercer2568
    Thanks so much for this awesome interview! Jaeda is not only an amazing actress but also listening to her is such breath of fresh air! Thank you Jaeda!
  • Jaeda is a fantastic young actress. I have a Christmas movie she was in & was probably about 5/6 years old. I loved the movie, The Christmas Secret, & she was great way back then.
  • @herricm84
    It was wonderful to hear you again on H2H !! You are doing a great job and hope we can continue seeing you act on Hallmark! Let’s have you the Hallmark actress of the 30s , right!!

    Jaida is an amazing actor. I can see her becoming the first female engineer or archtect in Hope Valley. I hooe the show runs long enough that we can see her have a career, get married, and have her own children. As a child who grew up with an abusive older brother, and parents who were sometimes absent and indifferent, I relied on grandparents, aunts and uncles for emotional support. These situations are probably more common than we would like to think. Her portrayal of a daughter, that has been rejected by her birth father, was brilliant.
  • I love Jaeda’s energy!! I also am really loving Nathan’s character this season. Always have loved Kevin McGarry in all his Hallmark movies.
  • Definitely my favorite episode so far!! Enjoyed Jaeda's performance. Brought tears to my eyes. And when she said Uncle Nathan, my heart dropped.😂😂Amazing how far she has come. She's always been a great character, but she took off this season! No wonder why Kevin and Erin love acting along side her.
