Back in May, the Hallmark Channel announced that it had given the go-ahead for a new original primetime series — a multigenerational drama titled The Way Home — and now the network has cast one of the leading roles with Andie MacDowell, who fans will remember from its now-defunct drama Cedar Cove, where she starred opposite The Bold and the Beautiful alum Dylan Neal (ex-Dylan).
