Will you be watching “Faith & Family Sundays” on Great American Family? If so, please share in comments below which show excites you the most?

I must say I'm most looking forward to "When Hope Calls," seeing how the show incorporates the beloved characters from the first season along with the new!

And I'm curious to see where season 2 of "County Rescue" will go... since Dani's ex-fiance just returned in the Season 1 cliffhanger and her paramedic job is a temporary position.

On a serious note, Great American Family also released an additional statement regarding the passing of Keller Fornes ("County Rescue"):
"Actor Keller Fornes will appear in all Season Two episodes of "County Rescue." Great American Family acknowledges the untimely passing of Keller. The network and all of Keller's many fans will be forever grateful for his talent and contributions to his art."
