Alexandra Burroughs of the Calgary Herald interviews a writer, producer, and actress involved with CBC’s family show airing Sunday nights this fall:

Nikki was devastated by the break up of her engagement to Erich after she discovered he’d been unfaithful. Now living with her mom and step-dad, Nikki is surrounded by high calorie ‘comfort foods’ and is re-entering the dating world at a weight disadvantage. Nikki is also a role model for a group of adolescent girls she counsels. Intent on being an inspiration – instead of a warning – Nikki hits the running trail with Paul to train for her goal of getting back into soccer.
