This Sunday - October 3 - SEASON 4 continues on CBC!

Episode 402

As we know... Season 4 of Heartland consists of 18 brand new one-hour episodes, the first of which premiered across Canada last Sunday on CBC at 7:00pm. This Sunday the Heartland saga continues with the premiere broadcast of Episode 402 - "What Dreams May Become," written by Ken Craw and directed by Grant Harvey. This is an episode where Amy scratches the surface to discover that Nick Harwell's problems with his polo ponies, Lou's life in Dubai and Tim's relationship with his jockey are not what they appear to be...

This Sunday - September 26 - SEASON 4 PREMIERES on CBC!

Episode 401

Some of you will be saying, "It's about time!!!!" and I for one will echo that sentiment. Across the country everyone has been chomping at the bit (nice horse reference, huh?) for this Sunday to arrive and now here it is, just 3 days away!

Before I tell you a bit about the photos I've posted and tell you a tiny bit more about "Homecoming", the premiere episode of Season 4 and the 50th episode overall of Heartland, I want to take a moment to commend a lot of you for your speculation on the 15 second teaser to the season premiere. Some of you have come somewhat close to guessing what is going on, while others have asked some very interesting questions, some of which will indeed be answered. Maybe not this Sunday... but on a Sunday in the very near future. All in all, you've been brilliant as usual and it's a lot of fun reading what you've posted. Now - in just 3 days - we'll see how right (or how wrong) some of you are! Click through to the blog post for some insider information!

Special Guest Post: Kathryn's Trip to the Set of Heartland

Howdy everyone!

Okay, I have something incredibly cool for you today. I'm going to take the day off and hand the reins over to Heartland fan (and regular blog commenter, Heartland community member, and all-around-awesome human being) KMA88! You're totally going to love it. It's so amazingly detailed and comprehensive that I've broken it into two parts, and the second part will be posted later today.

Before I hand the blog to Kathryn, one quick reminder: you have less than 7 days to enter the Heartland Facebook Video contest and win a chance to meet and interview Amber and Graham - so don't delay! Here's the link: Heartland on Facebook

Okay, Kathryn... it's all yours!

Date: Wednesday August 25th, 2010
Location: Heartland Ranch

*Note: There are many pictures that I cannot share with you due to these two particular episodes having not yet aired. When episodes 9 and 10 air, I can share them with you. The same goes for my recap. I left A LOT out so as not to give anything away. So if I seem vague on something, this is why. I have been sworn to secrecy by the cast and crew (horses too!). All of the photos you will see were not taken during filming; THEY SHOULD GIVE NOTHING AWAY. They were taken during breaks or blocking. Some have been cropped as well. I want to share as much as I can with you without breaking my promise to everyone at Heartland.

Now then, let's begin...
