‘The Way Home’: Evan Williams Cast In Hallmark Channel Series
EXCLUSIVE: Evan Williams (Awkward) is joining the cast of the Hallmark original series The Way Home which stars Andie MacDowell and Chyler Leigh.
Evan plays Elliot Augustine, Kat Landry’s (Leigh) good friend from high school friend who now teaches science at their alma mater. The unexpressed feelings he had for Kat back then may still be lurking just under the surface, but the two pick up their easy friendship again when Kat returns to their small town of Port Haven, New Brunswick. Elliot is also her daughter Alice’s (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) science teacher and plays a surprising role in the journey Alice takes as she learns the truth about her family’s past.
