Storyline

Middleton prepares for its bicentennial, and Grey House is to be the party venue. Good witch Cassie is remodeling it as B&B. her first and only guest, Nick Chasen, claims to be a distant relative. He produces papers to prove he's the heir of the builder, colonial era captain Hamblin, while the Grey lady was his mistress and stole it. Police chief and lover Jake Russell goes all the way to motivate her to fight and disprove the claim before she's effectively disowned. Brandon is dared to pass a rascals-initiation by local brat Steve and Duke. George's gardening skills lead to romance.

Trivia

This is ostensibly Middleton, MA. The real Middleton celebrated its bicentennial in 1928. Middleton was formed from parts of Andover, Boxford, Salem and Topsfield. It has long been supposed that its central location between these towns suggested the name that was adopted at the time of its incorporation.

Goofs

The movie starts with a close up on Martha Tinsdale's feet: she is wearing solid black Mary Janes. She opens a gate, enters the good witch's property and as she walks away from the camera we clearly see that she is now wearing leopard print pumps.

User Reviews

I loved the movie!

I love to watch horror movies on Halloween, but when I tuned in to "Good Witch", I was hooked for the next 3 hours. It was a pleasant change from my usual viewing. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery without the violence. The story line was wonderful how a mysterious, unknown and unwelcome lady on her own made her mark on the community by helping the townspeople with their problems and was ultimately accepted. And, for me, the character of Cassie Nightingale could not have been cast any better than with Catherine Bell. She is arguably one of the most beautiful women on television. Watching her and Jake and Jake's children grow ever closer as the tale unfolded left me with a good "family value" feeling. Thank you, and I hope to be seeing more of the "Good Witch" in future Hallmark presentations.
