What do you think? Do you like watching the Cedar Cove series on Hallmark?
My friends and I love Cedar Cove and look forward to Season Three.I especially love the romance between the Judge/Mc D and the newspaper Guy.However,I don’t understand why the writers keep bringing problems into their relationship without making the POINT of him and his EX/Wife back story.Its obvious she is there to make trouble for them.Let him
hold on to his sobriety with Addie and concentrate on theiur mixed/up kids.
And yes,please bring back Addie’s Mother.
Moon gets it! Please bring Charlotte back to the show. Great series. Can’t wait until we get Season 3. Hopefully, all the same characters return. Thanks for a wholesome series.
I would like to know when is session 3 start everybody keep on saying how glad they are that session 3 is going to be back but when?
I love this show I agree about Charlotte but would like to see some more of the characters from season one back also. Keep the show wholesome and it should continue for years. It just makes the heart warm.
Love the show, and so glad to see Season 3 in the works. Have to agree with those above about the Charlotte character. Really missed her in Season 2. Her character brings some welcome gravitas to the series, and the older fans enjoy her greatly. So let’s see more of Charlotte. Best of luck to the cast and crew on the new season.
Charlotte is a feisty character on this show. I love her! She represents the ‘new elders’ everywhere that say what they think and want. She’s grounded and full of life. It’s great to view someone like her on a tv series so we can relate to her. Bring her back. She’s a
refreshing and wonderful character. The series needs her
Wazzup with Charlotte? We need some spunky senior representation – Hello!!! We’re an enormous and growing demographic:) Please don’t bore me by giving seniors the same lack of rep – all my elderly peeps LOVE Charlotte!!! Where is she? We want her character back now or we’ll flip the channel!!!
Love the show, so glad to see it returning for a third season.
Andie is hot and so expressive! I’m glad that they are returning…………..is the whole cast returning….I hope so!
Congrats on another season! Love the show! Love the wholesomeness of it! But Charlotte is still missing. I hope you bring her back. She added a lot and rounded out Olivia’s character. Family dimensions are what makes a small town dramatic and interesting. Hope to see her back in season 3!
Where is Charlotte?! Olivia needs a mother and we need Charlotte! She added such a rich and fun dimension to the show that is sorely missed. Mothers and grandmothers play a huge part in today’s families. It’s a huge mistake to get rid of her. Not only is the Charlotte character missed, but no one can play her better than Paula Shaw. She’s brilliant. Please bring her back!
The show is enjoyable, but has lost some of its spice with absence of Charlotte. Working with senior citizens, as I do, her character embodied the wisdom and dry humor I experience in my everyday dealings with them. You should bring her back from her mythical around-the-world trip.
LOVE THIS SHOW! Thank you for.renewing Cedar Cove for a 3rd season!
We loved the first season; but were disappointed with the second season, as for some reason, probably financial, you did away with Olivia’s mother, Charlotte, the fiesty “busy body” who knew how to get things done. To us seniors, she represented a way for us to relate to the character she portrayed and bring more of a family feeling to Olivia’s trials and tribulations. Bringing back Charlotte will not only allow us to enjoy the show, but will also show that no matter how old we are, we still have a role to play in complex family situations.
Have enjoyed watching the show and a looking forward to the new season. Curious about the disappearance of the mother, Charlotte. She evidently went off on an around the world cruise? Isn’t it about time for her ship to come in? She’s funny and adds a bit of spice to the show that we enjoy. Land ho!!

I miss Charlotte! I NEED Charlotte! I WANT Charlotte. Where IS Charlotte??? She was the fiestiest, best character on the show, and I need her to represent us Senior Citizen viewers out here. Every small town needs a busybody; I’m not certain I will even be moved to watch Season 3 without my favorite character. Pleeeeeeze bring Charlotte home to Cedar Cove!
