In a trailer he posted on YouTube in May, he said it is meant to focus on “people stepping outside their comfort zone and into a world, into a life, into a vision of their future that they desire.” Earlier this year, he launched a podcast called Time Has Come. Marshall did not want to speak for him but said he left to pursue passions other than acting. But to honour that person and that person’s journey and by moving forward and living each day is the best way that you can.”Īs of press time, the reasons for Wardle’s decision to leave had not been clearly spelled out, presumably because his departure needed to be kept a secret. There’s nothing easy about death and it shouldn’t be. To see this widowed mother find the strength and courage to move forward for her daughter and really think about what’s best for the family around her and to come together and be that support I think is so important. Death is something that impacts all of us at some point in our lives. But I believe the journey through this season is so important for viewers to watch and to know that death is real.
“I think there’s going to be a lot of people devastated by this. “This a story that people might not want to see in the beginning,” she says. But Marshall was clearly bracing for what was sure to be a strong and emotional reaction from fans this week. Within the first couple of minutes, loving husband and new father Ty Borden collapses and dies of previously undetected complications from a gunshot wound he suffered at the end of Season 13.Īt the time of this interview, the episode had yet to air and reporters were sworn to secrecy.

After all, the relationship between Marshall’s Amy Fleming and Wardle’s Ty Borden had arguably become the true heart of Heartland over 14 seasons. She also knew long before writers were forced to come up with a satisfying way for Wardle’s character, Ty, to exit the series, which he did in decidedly dramatic fashion this past Sunday. It was no easy task.

So Marshall knew Wardle was leaving before producers of the long-running series did. I understood the journey he was on and that nobody should stand in the way of someone who wants to pursue what their true heart’s desire is.”
But then, as I had time to process it, I understood it. When he first told me, it stung a little bit. “He and I have a very close relationship, we’ve been great friends for a number of years since the show began. “He wanted to let me know before he told anybody else,” says Marshall, in an interview with Postmedia late last week. He had some surprising, and somewhat unsettling, news for his co-star. Roughly two years ago, Amber Marshall received a phone call from Graham Wardle, the actor she worked closely with for 14 years on the CBC show, Heartland.
