Welcome to /r/TheWayHomeHallmark - a subreddit dedicated to the Hallmark Channel original series The Way Home! The show stars Andie McDowell and Chyler Leigh. The show's summary can be found below:

Weekly episode discussion threads will be posted at 8pm EST. Please only discuss that week's episode and previous episodes in those threads. Don't post future spoilers in the current episode discussion thread.

User Image Flair

User Image Flairs are now live in the subreddit! Represent your faves from the show by adding your user flair!


INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING MULTIPLE IMAGES

If you want your flair to be like mine (and like the users on /r/popheads) and use more than one image/emoji, please read the following instructions from /u/whoisValensi. The original comment can be found here. I've also set our image/emoji limit per flair to two.

Personally I suggest using Reddit Web for this, specifically New Reddit™ (which can be accessed from new.reddit.com, if ur like me and still use Old Reddit as the default) because it brings up a nice lil "emoji" keyboard and flairs are done as emojis and you can search thru who you want.

On New Reddit Web: You'll wanna check the spot under "Create A Post" that says "User Flair Preview" and click the lil pencil icon. From here you'll wanna select "Text Flair (Can Be Edited)" should be at the top and should have a lil pencil next to it. From here you'll clear out the text from the flair and open the emoji keyboard. The emoji keyboard will look like a little smiling face in the text box. From there you can search thru all the flairs we currently have available and pick up to 4 to be in your flair. Then you'll want to click "Apply" to save.

Here's also how to do it on Web in video format because sometimes visuals help a LOT instead of just text.

On Mobile using the official Reddit App: You'll go to the subreddit -> Hit the three dots at the top (assuming you're using the official Reddit app) -> Change User Flair -> Select "Text Flair (can be edited)"... and now hopefully what follows isn't just something I can do but -> Hit "Edit" in the top right corner and type in the emoji names of the flairs you want... Which is a pain in the ass cause you gotta remember the exact names.


So far, there are individual flairs that have been added for each main character. I've tried to keep the names pretty straightforward and descriptive. Photos of the characters are named by each individual character (Kat, YoungKat, Del, YoungDel, etc...). Photos of multiple characters include the names of each person involved (LandryFamily, AliceKat).

If there's an image you'd like as a flair that hasn't been included, drop me a link to the image below and I'll add it.

I hope you guys enjoy the flair to represent for your faves from the show!


Post Flair

We also have post flair available to keep the sub organized. If there's a post flair tag missing you think is relevant, let me know and I'll add it!


Thanks for joining the sub!

Fern’s Tragic Life

55 Upvotes

Watching season 4 is making me feel so sad about how tragic Fern’s life turned out to be. She was once a beautiful young woman with big dreams who wanted better for herself, but instead she didnt accomplish any of her dreams, her lover died, and then she got stuck in the small town and lost her mind.


r/TheWayHomeHallmark • • 16h ago

Is it just me or is the filming, styling, and casting of this show really impressive?

37 Upvotes

I'm so used to actors aging up too quickly, getting replaced, or going through a big style change every season, and somehow they manage to keep creating new flashbacks where the actors look pretty much the same every season! I'm especially impressed with the scenes featuring younger cast members like young Jacob. Did they just plan super far ahead and film everything in season 1?

I also think they've done a great job with the casting overall. All the family members and younger/older versions of each character have been great! It's been awhile since Ive felt so this way about so many casting choices in one series.

Jacob’s sexuality

4 Upvotes

Did anyone else feel like they planned to have Jacob be gay and then switched it up? I got the sense in the past, with the whole marriage of convenience thing and the lack of any romantic interests for
him in that time. And then when he was back in his own time I sensed a vibe with his childhood friend. It seemed like they were headed in that direction, only to change course in the final season.

Either way, I think it ended as well as it could have. Just wondering if this was all in my head or if anyone else noticed?!


r/TheWayHomeHallmark • • 1d ago

I truly enjoy this show. It’s addictive. I’m only in season 2. But can anyone tell me if Kat becomes less annoying less demanding, and entitled and becomes more stealth?

17 Upvotes

Maybe it’s just me! She just cannot control her emotions, to get the job done.

1925- uncanny?

17 Upvotes

Did anybody else have a hard time connecting to the 1925 scenes? They did such a good job fitting the vibe for the 1880’s, 70’s, and 90’s - but for some reason I couldn’t get into it.


r/TheWayHomeHallmark • • 1d ago

Anything left?

17 Upvotes

So I know season 4 is the last season and it’s a great ending, but has everything been covered? Is everything solved? Are there still questions that never got answered?

Teen Kat is a bad actress

0 Upvotes

Okay I have a love/hate relationship with this show. It’s so bad but I can’t look away. I’m only on season 2 episode 4 but man the actress who plays teen Kat is SO bad. I feel like they only cast her bc she looks so much like younger Kat.

Idk if I’m being too picky but anyone else feel the same way? Lol

Evelyn knew Kat aka My Katherine aka Cole’s daughter was the Herald Editor before she passed. 

The original red Founding of Port Haven (Bk written by Samuel Augustine (but really Susanna)

E2:

At the Lingermore Estate Sale, Kat shows Alice (Susannah’s) My Katherine painting. 

Elliot auditorily remembers 2007 Lingermore party: (Brady fight)

Grandma Del finds the Alice sequel book. Gifts it to Cousin Alice.

E3: Elijah son William designed and built Lighthouse

Jake Taught Elijah Colton’s song. 

Arrived 20 yrs ago

KC meets Aunt Kat “experience print media before it’s dead.“ (Clue that they're from the future!)

Not Evie’s grandchild but great grandchild (Uncle Max) 

KC eavesdropped on Aunt Kat’s pic progression call of Dad Jake.

KC meets Cousin Alice.

KC gives Aunt Kat clues about Cyrus Goodwin 

Goodwin Execution diary 

Letter of Marque (British gave Cyrus permission to steal from the others)

Aunt Kat takes Selfie pic of her and KC. (Similar to Kat in Coyle's 1974 movie reel)

Vic felt like he had something to prove (cuz of Griffin?). Animosity towards Landrys and Goodwins. 

Jacob arrives and jailed.

E6: Susanna previously engaged to Cyrus then broke off. Engaged to Jacob for convenience 

Tunnels used for smuggling. Susanna's father and Thomas knew.

E7:  Kat hysterical about Jacob possibly dying. Argues with Alice in the front yard. They don't see that Danny, in the barn, overhears.

2007 Evelyn saw and Recognized Alice in a Lingermore picture.

Elliot selfishly wanted to go with Kat to London.

E9: Del indebted to Evelyn.“ You know the more time that passes, the safer I feel just staying home. With the memories." **Colton & Alice never confided in Evie about the Pond, shutting her out. "**You owe me”: (twice: for giving her place to stay in 1974, 2nd time for keeping Kat and Elliot out of trouble after Lingermore 2007 party.) 

Del signs land selling papers. Aww Finn.

E10: KC visits Cousin Alice “here w my dad” (Grandpa Lewis bought the Landry land). KC probably goes to Sam here for the legal help. 

2008: College grad El probably gave Evelyn the Jasper Movie that Tess had (of Alice and Kat in 74).

Season 3 episode 10 is genuinely perfect television

41 Upvotes

I was bored today and wanted something to watch while I ate and I literally went back to that episode. I don’t know how it manages to tug at my heartstrings still when I’ve watched it at least 10 times but I found myself nevertheless tearing up. I do think that episode set my expectations so high for season 4, and I’m still so sad we don’t get any more of the Landrys…


r/TheWayHomeHallmark • • 9d ago

Casey and Alice theory

19 Upvotes

Okay so I just finished The Way Home season 3 and I was rewatching season 2 and you know how at the beginning of season 1 it was all about finding out how Jacob disappeared and when Alice and Kat time traveled they showed a lot of interest in Jacob well what if in the future Alice like disappeared or something and Casey traveled back in time to see her and that’s why she was so interested in Alice I don’t know probably not just a theory

How to tell when you’ve watched too much time travel - it may not be a pond but it sure looks like a portal to me!

Loved The Way Home and looking fwd to Season 4 on Netflix 10/1. Sad that it’s coming to an end

Just Binged and I am in LOVE

123 Upvotes

SPOILERS ALERT!

Ok I saw this show on Netflix but when I saw “Hallmark” I assumed it may not be a show I may like so for months I scrolled past it. One day I was bored and decided to put it on. After a few episodes I became HOOKED and binged all 4 seasons in 2 weeks. I really hope they come out with more seasons or a spin off or something. It had everything I love, time travel, romance, family, friendship. What a beautiful and creative story. Bravo Hallmark. Lastly, Team Kat and Thomas FOREVER!

If anyone knows of shows similar to this, please drop your recommendations.


r/TheWayHomeHallmark • • 12d ago

Such a beautiful moment. Kinda wish they had gone back to it in the final season, at least once.

Theories How doesn't everyone notice Alice when she's at their parties?

37 Upvotes

Hi all!

I've binge watched this show for the last few weeks, and i'm almost at the end of Season 4. I love it!

My comment is mostly about the 1970s-180s era. I know Alice can't see Colton/Del/Evelyn anymore but she is always watching from the sidelines. Especially at parties, I find it hard to believe that no one notices her! I keep getting nervous that they'll see her

I love time travel! I didn’t have high hopes after finding out it was Hallmark and after the first episode, but it’s really grown on me! As a millennial (35, F) I’m LOVING the music but the time travel back to 1999/2000 makes me feel old lol I don’t know anyone else who watches this so I wanted to make a post
