I love to listen and watch how you an Kathy predict what will be coming next, they are really interesting, thank you. Gloria Mitchell new to your podcasts

Yes, I knew it referred most likely to a part of a train compartment.

As far as who will be mayor, I have pondered that question. We know that Bill left and Hickam stepped down...Who was the runner up in the election?? Lee?? Not sure he would still want to take it on at this point in time. I don't really see Lucas being interested in it even though I have seen people put his name out there. He is trying to cut back on work and find a true purpose for his life moving forward and being mayor would take more of his time than I feel he is willing to give up. I just have no clue which way they will go with that.

Yes, berth being the sleeping compartment on a train.

I did know what a berth was...it can also mean the place where a ship docks or a fixed sleeping place on a ship or train...Stumping is a popular term in the South so I was also familiar with that word!!!

I always look up the words when they are new to me. The show has helped me learn new words all the time. I could see Arthur coming back. Jerome could possibly go to jail because in S8, Henry gave Bill a list of names who were involved in the mine. I'm sure Jerome's name was top of the list. In S6 Bill found the letter where Henry had concerns about the mine only to have it disregarded by Smith. I am not sure who would be mayor. Fiona in my opinion doesn't have enough concern for everyone to be a good mayor. When Mike game back the biggest news she had to tell was Ned's invention. The mine being blown up was a more important thing to begin with because that affected the town. Arthur may help with the newspaper because of Rosemary's pregnancy. I could see Fiona and Mike working together to build the oil company. So many possibilities of where S10 could go.

Yes I knew what berth meant. I hope Smith doesn't come back though there may be something with the trial for Gowan.

I don't think we'll see Smith back in Hope Valley in person or Arthur Ghilchrist the Henry trial will probably take place off screen and his acquittal will start season 10 off with Henry searching for a new purpose to his redemption, Bill will be Mayor but faces having to give up his Judgeship and or Mounties Forensic duties per health concerns but Molly finds her calling in helping Bill run the town-They become the un-Official First Couple of Hope Valley, I'm curious to see how Minnie/Joseph/Elizabeth navigate being responsible for Anna we might see some young adult situations that are tricky for a teenage single young woman- ?? So many possibilities for some great story telling in Season 10 can't wait

So many questions about season 10! I think Bill will return and will be the next Mayor. I would love to have Abigail return, but I don't think it will happen next season. I do agree that Bill is juggling too many balls, and if he officially becomes mayor he should retire from his "Inspector" position, and this could create an opportunity for Nathan to be promoted and perhaps train a young cadet(Robert?). Yes, to a bigger storyline for Fiona!

I think Bill will be Mayor again. He’s back and apparently healthy.

It would be great to have Lori come back. She was a terrific mayor and would be again.

Well, a crazy thought, Lucas will be appointed mayor. Haha.

I’d love to see Lori back. Abigail was a great Mayor…but I won’t hold my breath.

I have wondered also and am glad Roxanne did her usual great job w/ this. My thoughts go along w/ Margie’s at this point. Although Bill is experienced he is obviously not in any shape to take that on. I was wondering about Lee but with the baby, paper & other things I don’t think he would. Lucas too is a possibility but with all the business stuff he has and his commitment to Elizabeth plus planning a wedding, ah no for him. That leaves Fiona from the original group (also busy but losing her oil company job & w/ a big storyline ahead. They could bring in someone new or a different townsperson but I am clueless who. Like the vocab idea teacher! And yes I knew the words. I tend to think of “berth” related to ship travel! “Stump” I knew and have heard thrown around near election time. “Sticky “ had crossed my mind though everyone knows it but it connects w/ other storylines. Well there certainly seem to be a few “sticky” situations to be resolved in our beloved town !
