THE OFFICIAL HEARTLAND BLOG

I noticed you said "Ty was going to be leaving to attend" I noticed the word was. Is this a forshadowing that Ty won't be attending cause he's dead from the plane crash?

Hey Im a fan love you in the show Wanda, but i was wondering, as Val is portrayed as a "tough lovin" kind of mother was it difficult to get into character??

hi wanda! first of all i want to say you do a wondeful job of playing val! you make her character so interesting by being so mean but you show val's soft side aswell!:)
my question is: do you ride at all or are you around horses outside of the show?

man that was sooo goood i cant wait to see what happends to ty .!!!!!!!!

What was the hardest scene to film with Cindy as Ashley? Like with all the emotion and drama between those two, what was the hardest scene to shoot?

You do a GREAT job and i think you are JUST how Val should be!( except you are really nice and you probably don't hurt horses! )

Is Lou pregnant!!!!!!?????????? If not then why is she acting so funny?

[Blog Whisperer: Please keep on topic, everyone. I'm going to have to start deleting comments that aren't questions for Wanda!]

Hello Wandy,
First of all i just would like to say you are an exellent actor! and Val is great for you!

My question is:

What would be your favorite chip flavour?
thanks, amyandspartanfan

Hi Wanda. I think you are such a wonderful actor. You really bring the role of Val to life. You and Cindy are a great mother/daughter team. What we really love is when you and Shaun Johnston(grampa jack) have scenes together. You two are amazing together so I guess my question to you is have you and Shaun worked together before and do you think there is any chance that you and Jack will get together on the show.Opps sorry thats 2.

I love your work Wanda!!!!You are one of the best actresses I have every seen!!!!

My question is:What was the hardest scene to film with Cindy???

What is it like to be on Heartland? Is it fun to work with the cast? Where does it all take place?

Are you or any of the heartland cast going to be in toronto or anywhere nearby anytime soon?

I was on set as a background performer during one of Wanda's scenes where you was angry at Ashley riding in a horse jumping event in season 2, and I must say I was impressed how you "turned on the emotion". Val is gaining warmth in her character, do you prefer to play her with more edge?
Thanks, and I enjoy your work.

Hey Wanda,

Are you affraid of horses at all or were you when you first started on the show?

Hey Wanda, you're awesome in the show!! Have you ever show jumped before? and who do you love working with on the cast of Heartland? and is the funniest?

Hi Wanda,

My name is Paige and I am a big fan of the show and can't wait for January to get here to continue watching Heartland. I really miss it already and its only been a day:( Anyways, my Question to you is: Do you feel your character Val relates/ portrays you in anyway?? Keep up the great work hope there will be a season 4. :) Thanks so much, Paige :)

Good Day Wanda,

I find your character to be quite complex, on many levels, so..... my question is:

Do you find it difficult or taxing whilst portraying the many diversities of "Val"?

Thank you,
Kimberly L.

Hello Wanda, And Congratulations on playing the part of Val Stanton so great! I love the character that used to portray a very "self indulging" mother (in my out look) that wanted the world, And has been hurt, and has now turned everything for a loop for a second chance but still seeming a little Different. In my opinion. Awesome :D
My Question for you is how do you like working with the younger and older cast as Shaun, Amber, Graham and everyone else including the animals. As well are you happy to be acting in Alberta since you were born in Ontario?

When you have to go from wanda to val what do you do to get into the role I know when I am going to act something out I try get really into the role as if I really am that person and portray it as the character would say it and not me. I only have done a very tiny bit of acting but when i graduate I would love to pursue acting as a career!!

Wow... You do an amazing job of playing Val... My question is: What is one of your favorite memories from behind the scenes of playing Val?
Thanks for all your hard work;
Elizabeth

Hi, Wanda! So, what direction do you think that "Val" should go in? A love interest, maybe? Anyways, you are amazing at "Val." It's hard to think of you as acting when you're playing Val. You do a magnificiant job! Luv you!

Claire:)

OXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

Hi Wanda, I love your character. :)

My question is: Have you ever noticed yourself in Val's 'shoes'?

Thanks so much, can't wait for your reply!

Hey Wanda !
I was just wondering... how does your character Val relate to you in real life? if at all, how ?
thanks,
danielle :)

Hello Wanda,
I must say, your character has turned out to be like an old friend of mine - well done with your acting!

My question for you: What is/was your favorite season of Heartland to act in, and why?

Hey Wanda my question for you is what do you enjoy the most about playing Val in Heartland? And whats your favourtie episode you acted in?

Do you know what's next for your character next season?

Hey Wanda, I'm a huge fan of Heartland, and I think you play an incredible role on the show - in my opinion you play your role the best out of any other actor on the show, maybe not as popular and well liked as the other characters lol. Anyways, my question for you is, what do you like most about working on Heartland? (I guess that's kind of a broad question, so I don't think it has to be just one thing...)

Hello Wanda!

You are very good actress. My question for you is: What is your "favorite" actor/ actress? Thank you :D

You're portrayal of Val is amazing. I am really wowed by your ability to get so completely into her character! I'm wondering how long this tentative peace with Ashley is going to last. Thanks :)

You do a great job of making Val very realistic, making us love her and hate her all at the same time! Well done! My question for you is: Val's sickness storyline is very emotional, have you ever experienced anything in your life that you could draw from in order to portray these emotions to their fullest? Was this a hard storyline for you to film?

Hey Wanda,

omg you are really amazing as Val. Okay okay... So here ist my question for you:
What was the most exciting thing you experienced at Heartlands set?

Love you, Tiishirt (:

Hey, Wanda! You are so good at playing Val! Super good! My question is do you think your like val in any way?

hi wanda your such a good actress so heres my question did you know how to ride or was it something you had to learn to do thanks

hey Wanda,

thanx for answering all these questions, must be a lot of work. I love how you perform in Heartland although it can't be easy all the time. but you do a really great job.
Well my question for you is: why don't you do horseback riding in the show because you apperantley used to do showjumping when you where young in the show? so you could show ashley how its done without sending her to your coaches.

lot off greats of a belgian girl

Dear Wanda,
I just wanted to say I think you do an excelent job of portraying the self-propeled character Val Stanton. On the show we see you giving alot of "advice" about others riding techniques although we hardly see you riding... so my question is: are you a talented rider yourself? If so do you have horses at home?
Nadine

P.S We love you!

Hey Wanda,

I was wondering if you were a mother yourself and if you see yourself going into mother mode with Ashley on the show sometimes?

Thanks and I think you portray Val amazingly well!

Hi Wanda,
I just wanted to say what a wonderful surprise it was to see you at the Chapter's DVD signing in Vancouver! It was great to meet you.

My question for you is, what do you enjoy doing during your time off?

Hi Wanda!

My question for you is: What do is the funniest thing that happened to you or one of the other cast members on the set?

BTW, I think you do an amazing job playing Val!

Hey Wanda
I read earlier in this post that you live in Ontario. Does that mean that you do a lot of travelling to Alberta, or do you just stay here for a couple of weeks/months per year?
Gr8 acting, by the way!
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Wow Wanda!
First off I would love to saw you do an amazing job portraying Val. Sometimes I just wanted to strangle her but then she'd do something and make you think maybe she's not that bad! So here is my question: In the beginning of the season you well Val had a medical problem, will they touch base on it any later in the show? also Have you ever ridden a horse in your life and why don't you ride in the show?
Thanks for all you have added to Heartland
Nikki

Hey Wanda. Just wanted to let you know that you do an awesome job playing Val Stanton. My question is this: what is your behind the scenes relationship with Cindy Busby, knowing that your characters have an... interesting relationship on screen?

Hi Wanda,

YOu play your part so well! At first I wasn't too keen on Val, (though you played her character great!) but this season she is really coming out with a better side. How do you think her relationship with her daughter Ashley is going to progress? They seem to be getting along better but things can change.
anyways , keep up with great acting!
Thanks!

hi wandy i love heartland and so does everyone in my family so do you like working with jack or grampa as amy calls him ?????????

Hi Wanda, my question is: Do you find it discouraging at times to play one of the "meanest" characters on Heartland? Afterall, your character is one which is hard to love, and consequently I doubt you get to feel the same loving fan response!

To make everything clear, I do love your character, and think she is one of the most realistic and in-depth ones on Heartland. The show wouldn't be as emotionally intense or realistic without you! Keep up the great work!

Hey wanda, for giving me your autograph on the plane to calgary and at the autograph signing.Someone said you were the nicest person n set so my question for you is is it hard to play soeone so mean.
Thanks

Hello Wanda!
I think you are a very good actor for Val. That would be very hard to potray but it looks like you do it so easily! great job!
anyways my question for you is...?

Q. Who would you say you are closest to on the Heartland Set? By set i mean like actors in the show.
Thanks, XoXo
Christie

hi wanda my question is what horse is your favorite horse on the heartland show thank you maddi

I really like the way you pursue Val. She has an on and off personality, which you do really well. I like the scenes with you and Shaun, because I always feel like there's some sort of love connection between the two characters. My question is just that: Even though Jack is with Lisa, do you think Val is interested in him? Or is she just in it for the business that benefits her?

Thanks a billion!
Shayla

Hey Wanda! I'm a huge fan of your work!
Anyways here's my question: What do you enjoy most about acting on the show?
Thanks for answering my question (if you pick it)
Your biggest fan
Shanna :)

Hello Wanda! I think you do an EXCELLENT job with Val. It's been very interesting seeing her character change somewhat this last season. Okay, my question: So, can you tell us the funniest thing that's happened to you on set? Sorry if this question has already been asked. There are so many of them already up and I really don't have time to read through them all right now!

3blindmice :)

Hi Wanda! I think you're really amazing as Val. I love the show, even though they don't air it (yet) in the Netherlands. Do you ride horses yourself too? Thanks and keep up the great work!! Anouk

Hey Wanda, you are amazing as your character and on in real life:):):)

my question is: Ok, Are you as much into horses as you used to be in the show??

thank you and remember you are great and keep up the great work on the continue making of Season 3...
Hope there is going to be Season 4

Greetings, Wanda!

I've really been enjoying watching the evolution of Val's character over the past two-and-a-half seasons, so credit goes to you and the writers. Val is the character I love to hate, because one minute I can be appalled at how she can (sometimes) treat Ashley, and the next I can be sympathetic towards her because of her illness. Bravo for portraying Val's complicated personality so convincingly!

My question to you is: What was your reaction when you learned about the plans to saddle Val with serious health issues?

Thank you for taking the time to answer these fan questions.

-TC

Wanda, What do you think the funniest thing that has ever happend on set is? Thank, Kimberly

Wanda...just gotta say that I enjoy watching your performance on Sundays...I agree that there are times when I just want to scream out of frustration and then there are times when I want reach over and hug you. That just shows how well you play the role and I seriously imagine that portraying Val is no picnic and requires a lot of deep digging. So Thank You for you most excellent work! Okay, now my question, I think I'll go out of the norm and ask you something totally rock out different : If you can have dinner with 4 people (dead or alive), who would they be and why?

Like evreyone else has said, i think you do an inspirational job of playing such a complex character.

my question is: what do you like best about being at heartland?? the food, the people, the atmosphere, the weather...

thank you for your time, and your work:)
CGT

You are such an awesom actor. :)

My question is: What type of scenes do like filming? Do you like to film scenes with horses, or what?

Sorry if the question has already been asked.

Hey Wanda

You're a very talented actress. Vas is a complex character and sometimes difficult to portray but you do an excellent job!

When and why did you decide to be an actress?
If you weren't actress, what do you think you would have done?
Sorry it's two questions so choose your favourite one!

Thank you
Charlotte

Hey Blog Whisper do you think that maybe when we have done Q & A with all the cast we could do some with the crew? I think it would be fun to get to know some of the behind the scene people. They contribute a lot of work but arent recognized as much so it would be a cool way to see what the crew does to!!

[Blog Whisperer: That is a GREAT idea Kristin, let me look into it! ]

Hi Wanda, you're an awesome actress in Heartland!!! What was your favorite episode that you played in and why?
Thank you =)
