After Finn, After Ty: What Love Looks Like for Amy Now

Viewers have watched Amber Marshall grow alongside Amy Fleming for years. What started as a teen role on a small ranch show turned into a life—on set and off—built around horses, wide skies, and a cast that actually feels like family.

A crew that became family
After so many seasons together, the day-to-day feels less like TV and more like home. That ease shows up in the small scenes: barn chores, kitchen chats, the quiet stuff that makes Heartland work.

Growing up with the role
Marshall talks about the rare gift of aging with a character. Life changes—weddings, milestones, even little routines—often echo in the scripts. It keeps the acting honest because the feelings aren’t theoretical; they’re lived.

Lyndy steps forward
The twins who’ve played Lyndy since they were babies are finally getting story room. You can see Amy’s patience and horse sense showing up in her daughter—sweet, a little stubborn, and brave around the animals.

Loss—and what comes after
Robert Cormier’s passing hit hard. Finn had become a careful spark for Amy, and fans could see something real forming. Off screen, it reminded everyone how fragile life is; on screen, it reshaped where the story could go next. Earlier, Ty’s death forced Amy to carry on as a single mom. Season by season, the show let grief breathe—and then, slowly, made space for hope.

Is love back on the table?
Introduced in Season 13, Episode 2 (“Wild One”), Sam Langston hovers at the edge of Amy’s life—steady, familiar, close to home. Maybe friendship, maybe more. The point isn’t a neat answer; it’s leaving room for life to surprise her.

Why families keep watching
The show is simple in the best way. People can watch together without cringing or translating. Grandparents and grandkids call each other after episodes and actually talk. In a noisy world, that matters.

Where things stand now

• If you’re catching up on Netflix US, Season 17 just landed.
• In the US, Season 18 is available on UP Faith & Family (10 episodes).
• Season 19 starts Oct 5, 2025 in Canada on CBC/CBC Gem. US timing hasn’t been announced yet.

Why she stays
Most days are outdoors, with horses and people she’s known forever. It fits her life in Alberta. Snow days are rough; the rest is worth it. She’ll ride this as long as it feels true.

No plans to say goodbye

“So—with all these seasons—ready to hang up Amy’s cowboy hat?” Amber smiles. “Not at all. I live in Alberta. I love the outdoors. I couldn’t imagine a better job. As long as they’ll have me—and as long as fans keep watching—I’ll be here.”
