Avonlea behind the scenes, circa 1993

[@joshwilliams7692]

Wow. What a wonderful video! I made the mistake of watching this laying in bed alone late at night. I'm overwhelmed by this wistful feeling I get when I watch VHS tapes from the '90s. It was such a magical time to be alive. There's something about hearing that distinct sound of a piano their the flutter of a video tape that makes me fee melancholy. It was such a joy getting a glimpse into the behind the scenes. The one with where Gus pike is introduced has always been my favorite episode, and I'm so glad you included some footage from that here. Jackie is not at all how I imagined her to be in real life. Her voice was so youthful and beautiful - such a contrast from her on screen presence. Cedric was so great with the kids! I miss those times so much. People were different back then, before the internet. I grew up watching the show on VHS tapes from the library in Ohio. My wife doesn't normally like to watch TV. I could never get her to sit with me through any other show. Then I introduced her to Road to Avonlea a couple months ago, and we're watching it as a family. I haven't seen the show in at least 25 years. It's been such a blessing to us. Thank you for everything!

You are so welcome! I'm glad to have been reminded of these memories!

[@joshwilliams7692]

That recording of All Through the Night has been haunting me since I first watched this video the other night. I've been scouring the internet to find a similar recording of the song, and I can't find anything that comes even close to this, except for an instrumental version. I need a proper recording of this so badly.

[@toolgirl]

I wish I could get Cedric to re-record it in his studio. It's unforgettable, isn't it?

[@joshwilliams7692]

@ We had a listening party with some friends last night and my wife chose this song! You should ask him to record it. Just one take on the studio mic would be amazing. He has such a comforting voice!

[@Angel-cy7hv]

We are huge fans and still watch this beloved show weekly! You did an incredible job as Aunt Olivia💝 We appreciate you taking the time to meet and great your fans. You are simply amazing ❤️

This was great! A real treat for us Avonlea fans to get a view of what life was like on set. Looks like it was such a fun time! Thanks Mag for sharing this footage for all of us.

[@toolgirl]

You're welcome. I have hours of tape. We're digitizing all of it so I can make more 'home movies'.

[@ryanb45]

​Very exciting to hear! All us fans would definitely love to see it! You were of course great on Avonlea and was excited to see you show up on Sarah's Alias Grace a few years back.

This was my favorite show when I was a little girl. I always had the biggest crush on Andrew King and Gus ☺️ I am currently rewatching the whole series with my 3 little boys. Felix is their favorite!

[@toolgirl]

Felix was my favorite too!

[@EhGardenerGuy]

Would always watch it with my family every Sunday evening. I have a family connection with Lucy Maud Montgomery.

[@toolgirl]

Wow, not many people can say that!

I run a fiction Instagram account. Avonlea is one of the shows I post about. Would you mind if I posted the clip of Gemma talking about the onscreen kiss with Gus?! . I’m a huge Gus and Felicity fan!

[@toolgirl]

Go for it! ❤

[@courtneyfan9]

@@toolgirl Thanks So Much special permission from Aunt Olivia 😉. I sent this clip to my friend and she thought Gus was the horse that was being kissed in the next clip. 😆 Anyway you are welcome to follow the account it’s Courtneyfictionfan!

Heyyy All cantrey iran loved Red to avonlia Ok?

[@toolgirl]

Okay! Glad to hear this. Island Stories.

[@HamedYari]

@@toolgirl excusmy Are you the real you, Ms. Megrov? or fan page

[@HamedYari]

@@toolgirl We lived with this series, we grew up, we felt ourselves among those children of the island, we even fell in love very hard with the character of Ms. Felicity and became the people of a country!!! I cried many times for Mrs. Felicity's marriage! From the bottom of my heart, I made a promise to myself when I was 15 years old to marry Sara! I even remember that I kept the shaving razor in my closet for 5 years. I promised myself that I would keep it until I got married! Believe it or not, from the age of 15 to the age of 32, I still hoped that I would be able to marry him, although in 2008 I found out that he was married and I cried a lot, I still believed that marriage was possible until 2014, I decided to at least get his love out of my heart. To suffer less!!! I remember one night in solitude, I cried for hours, I remember the heat of my tears

[@HamedYari]

@@toolgirl Even though I took his love out of my heart, I still love him. I follow his official Instagram page, like and comment, but unfortunately, it is of no value to me.

[@HamedYari]

@@toolgirl I ask God to restore the 5-year-old Sarah's childhood in heaven instead of the angels and make her love me deeply and I love her too. Amen
