Sequel: Love's Enduring Promise, 27 May 2004
8/10
Author: msct from New England

For the majority of us who have posted re "Love Comes Softly", you'll be happy to know that the sequel "Love's Enduring Promise" is underway. Filming started on March 29th. Dale Midkiff and Kathryn Heigl will reprise their roles as Clark and Marty Davis. Since Missy is older in this book, the wonderful Skye McCole Bartusiak will be replaced by January Jones. The movie is due out in November. Once again, it's directed by Michael Landon Jr. And the DVD/VHS of "LCS" is due in the Fall. More good news: Dale Midkiff won an award (the Grace Prize for television acting) for his portrayal of Clark Davis in "LCS" which also took the Epiphany Prize for Most Inspirational Television Program sponsored by The John Templeton Foundation. The awards were presented on March 24, 2004 at the Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA. Well deserved!
