THEN NOW

I didn’t have the chance as a child.

I’m proud to finally have that ability.

Legions of fans adore the show...

I knew from day one we had a very

special script, but yes – it’s an amazing

fanbase. Last summer, there were

hundreds of people walking down the

lane past Faith’s house in yellow macs!
