Cancelled WAY too soon!

I missed this series when it initially aired. Because of the reviews I thoght that I would try it. Boy and I glad I did! Why in the world it was cancelled after only two seasons is beyond me. The last episode was the cliff hanger for the third, and unfortuneately we'll never know what happened. Wonderful series, leaves you wanting more!! July 19, 2008

What the Real Christy Decided

I think that most people who reach this page know what the Christy series is about. If not, there are other excellent reviews here that can fill them in. I want to address the ending, which leaves us all hanging as to Christy's choice in love.

It is my view that this series should be completely separated from the three films that were put out several years later. The episodes of the 1994 series is, after all, loosely based on the author's (Catherine Marshall) mother's life--and in real life, she married a preacher.

In this 1994 television series, the preacher, played by Randall Batinkoff, had all the qualities and chemistry with Kelly Martin's Christy needed to make the series mirror reality's outcome. She may not have married him right away, but this is how I like to imagine the ultimate end of this series' story.

In the three television movies made several years later, there are two different actors playing the preacher and Christy. It was written and directed very differently; there was no chemistry, no convincing proofs of love between them, so I think those ended fine as pure fiction. Just because Stewart Finlay-McLennan plays the doctor in those three films doesn't mean they should be lumped together with this 1994 series, which ended too soon!
