Crosswalk:  What are your hopes for the series?

Willie Aames: Anne of Green Gables sticks out in my head as such a great classic show. We went to a lot of trouble to make sure that we kept the same type of integrity. We hope that the Christian community will recognize that we’ve put a lot of effort into creating something for their kids. That’s our first goal. We want girls to have somebody to look up to, like Harleigh.

Crosswalk.com:  Turning to you a little bit, Maylo, you played mom in the series.  Was it difficult working for your husband?

Maylo Aames:  You know – it wasn’t. I worked for many, many years in Los Angeles before I met Willie. He’s such an incredible director; he’s an actor’s director because he was an actor for so long, so he communicates very well. Once I’m in front of the camera and he’s behind it, he’s my director. I completely trust what he’s saying and I’m completely submissive, as talent, to the ideas and the vision that he has. So it’s really very natural and very easy. It’s also very wonderful and easy and natural to play Harley’s mom. We all respect each other.

Willie Aames:  I spent almost the last 10 years on the road as Bibleman. One of the great things about doing this project was that we all really felt, as a family, that it was time to spend more time together. That season of my life of being gone 180 days a year is coming to a close. To have this project, to work together all of the time, is a gas. It’s fun, and I try to keep it fun on the set. There’s nothing like trusting the person that you’re working with.
