"Anne of Green Gables: The Continuing
Story" first aired by the Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation in 2000. This third miniseries, produced by Sullivan Entertainment
continued the Anne stories of L. M. Montgomery,
taking liberties with the telling of the tale.
Directed by Stefan Scaini, the miniseries starred Megan Follows
who returned to play Anne Shirley. Jonathan Crombie, Schuyler
Grant, Patricia Hamilton and others also returned to play their old
roles of Gilbert Blythe, Diana Barry and Rachel Lynde respectively.
Additionally, the miniseries introduced a number of new characters,
including Cameron Daddo as Jack Garrison.
The plotline of the miniseries substantially deviates from Montgomery's
works, setting the storyline during the first World War, and having Anne
travel
across Europe, rather than staying on Prince Edward Island.
I enjoyed seeing the characters return, and I looked forward to this
miniseries more than any other I've watched, but in a lot of ways I
was
disappointed by the distance it removed itself from the first two
chapters of Anne's story. This miniseries did lead to friendships
with many Anne fans the world over, so I must thank Kevin Sullivan for
that.
