The Good Witch's Destiny

I'm surprised I haven't seen this issue brought up-why doesn't Cassie ever hold Baby Grace or Toddler Grace in movies 5 & 6? In movie 5 she holds her new baby twice and not at all in the next movie. There are few if any scenes of her cuddling the baby or even taking care of her! That job is continually handed off to Lori or George or a babysitter. This so goes against the character of Cassie who is so kind and warm and maternal to her stepchildren, and it's very weird that she doesn't seem to care about her baby at all. How did the writers let this happen? There could have been so many sweet moments with her and Jake and the baby. I watched the series before the movies which made this seem all the more crazy!

I think this movie has rekindled the magic from the earlier films. It's included the spooky Grey House which was absent in the last two films. A shame there's no sign of Isis the cat. Grace is now a toddler and it's approaching Cassie's birthday that approaches Halloween. Things go wrong for her when her magical advice backfires, and she gets blamed. It turns out that the Grey Lady painting fell all on its own and a tear appeared on the painting. Cassie's ancestor was lonely but feared for her life as her birthday approached, which happened to be on the same date as Cassie's birthday and also the same time that the Grey Lady disappeared. Cassie's shop mysteriously catches fire, and grandpa is learning magic. His girlfriend's son is a magician who's fiance went off after he became financially broke. Martha's shop stinks because of a sewage leak next door but she used three cones instead of one that Cassie told her to use. Things all worked itself out but I can' help but wonder if Cassie is really the Grey Lady from 100 years ago. Quite enjoyable and sparkly, if not slow in places.

For some reason things go wrong in perfect middleton. But other things don't seem right , nothing to do with bad luck . Brandon is 19 and marrying Tara who looks and is older , like 27. I can't see that as a match .

Cassie Nightingale, the Good Witch of Middleton, is having some troubles. As her birthday approaches, her knack for having things fall her way collapses, events around her and her family go poorly and portents of doom surround her in this, the sixth annual "Good Witch" movie on the Hallmark Channel.

This movie shows a definite improvement in the script department over the last few episodes. People have to struggle and worry a bit. The real pleasure remains watching Catherine Bell play the role of Cassie in a perky manner, struggling a bit with issues beyond her control. Other characters have real issues, as her step-daughter finds that college is not as easy as she had expected, her step-son finds young love despite her husband's worried disapproval and her father-in-law's wife has to deal with a wayward son who accepts no responsibility for his failures.

It all falls Cassie's way in the end, but there is a real sense of tension in this movie. Fans of the series will be very pleased.

Cassie has been so sweet and helpful to everyone for five movies. It wasn't fun to watch Martha turn against her for something where it was obvious that no malice was intended. I wouldn't trust Gwen's son, Drew, after all that atrocious behavior. And Jake turning against his wife like that was disgusting. His lame apology later was insufficient for me. Oh, and Brandon is supposed to be an adult, yet he overreacts big time to his dad's words of caution.

I haven't seen the final movie yet. I hope it's better.
