   Every Murdoch Mysteries star but the one fans want to see.

   For that matter, not the Heartland stars people really want to meet – Graham and Amber. And why is GW barely on the show this year? Are they getting rid of him? Because the stupid storyline about him being in Mongolia while Amy is pregnant is the dumbest they’ve ever come up with. Get rid of Jack’s wife (whatever her name is, she’s supposed to be in France anyway) or Lou and her many flings, not Amy’s husband.
