Did you ever see the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s 1985 TV mini-series of Anne of Green Gables? One of the finer book-to-television adaptations. Remembering Jonathan Crombie’s Gilbert Blythe. Crombie passed away yesterday.

OMG, so sad. I totally fell in love with Jonathan Crombie when he played Gilbert Blythe. Anne of Green Gables is one of my favorite TV series ever…
I know, I’ve been sad all afternoon about this.
I had no idea there was a second sequel! I will have to catch up and watch that one, when Gilbert goes off to fight in WWI. I don’t know if you saw it – was it good?
So sad. Like so many others, I lived and breathed that movie when it came out. I was just the right age for it – 11. He is still what I think of when I think of Gilbert. Thanks for this.
