What Would Sal Do?

From Ben Leeson of the Sudbury Star:

Link: Sudbury Accent: All hail Sal, of Copper Cliff
“Come on, do you think the second coming of Christ would second come in Sudbury of all places?”

So says Sal, incredulous at the idea that he, a foul-mouthed underachiever from Copper Cliff, could be a bona fide, blind-curing, bread-making, virgin-born King of Kings, partway through the pilot for What Would Sal Do?, a new comedy series filmed – and set – in the Nickel City, and due to drop next week on CraveTV.

Ty Borden returns to Heartland

Heartland fans have been begging Ty to return to Canada for weeks. Finally, he does, but no one is celebrating. Wracked with sickness, Ty has been hospitalized and totally out of it. With a baby on the way, will Ty survive to see his child born, or will he die in front of Amy?

Here’s CBC’s episode synopsis for “Dreamer,” written by Mark Haroun and directed by Alison Reid:

Amy and the family pull together as the gravely ill Ty returns home and is admitted to hospital.
And here’s some spoiler-free info we gleaned from watching a screener.
Ty isn’t the only one having a hard time
Yes, Ty is hooked up to tubes and unresponsive, but others are suffering in their own way this week. A major situation hits Lou out of nowhere, putting her future in jeopardy as well. And, just to make things super-interesting/awkward, Peter visits.
We find out what’s been ailing Ty
Turns out four months in the Gobi desert is full of dangers, the least of which are poachers. A Calgary doctor gives the family her prognosis … and not everyone is happy with her news. That leads to a very, very dramatic scene in the hospital between two major characters that could affect their relationship going forward. Meanwhile, Ty has been pumped full of drugs, leading to some very interesting visions … and a special guest star.
Heartland airs Sundays at 7 p.m. on CBC.

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: Saving Hope preview: Dealing with a ‘Midlife Crisis’
“Alex is really struggling with the choice she made last week. And the people around her, Shahir, Maggie, Dana, and especially Charlie, are all struggling to understand what’s going on with her too. Problem is, she can’t tell them because she doesn’t know herself. She just feels it in her gut that something’s wrong – and that something’s ALWAYS going to be wrong – if she stays with Charlie.” Continue reading.

“Her incredible journey — where she gets found out and everything — I thought they were great scenes and I wanted to honor them. I was not just excited, but thrilled to get to play them, but what moved me the most was the plane scene. It was a full circle from the beginning and even though we’ve lost pieces of the circle along the way, it was stunning as an actor to see the journey you’ve traveled. So to be sitting on that same plane with two members missing, it was very emotional.” Continue reading.

From Bridget Liszewski of The TV Junkies:

Link: X Company: Mark Ellis and Stephanie Morgenstern talk “Remembrance”
“We were satisfied story-wise, but there’s always a bittersweet side to parting from a complex fictional world, and a massive creative undertaking, and a very precious group of collaborators that have been a part of your life for so many years. We always knew the series wouldn’t end with the end of the war itself, but instead with the sense that the fight must go on… even though the torch may have to be passed on to the next fighter to carry it to the finish line.” Continue reading.
