Actress, screenwriter, and producer Ansley Gordon chatted about her latest acting projects.

‘The Abigail Mysteries’

Gordon starred in “The Abigail Mysteries” opposite Emmy nominee Bret Green, which aired on Pure Flix and Great American Family. “It was great. This was my favorite film experience I’ve had,” she admitted. “It was my first time producing, which I really like. I’ve known Bret Green for over a decade.”

‘Designing Christmas With You’

Gordon wrote the screenplay for “Designing Christmas With You,” which airs tonight on Great American Family. “I just want the viewers to feel good when they watch it,” she said. “Similar to drinking a cup of hot cocoa or hot tea It’s a cozy, fun, and sweet little story.”

The synopsis is: With her career on the line, a decorator (Susie Abromeit) must work with an unexpected partner to showcase a house for an upcoming Christmas GALA. “It is really sweet, it’s a lot of fun, and it’s a more traditional rom-com that features a lot of family values and it is more about the relationships rather than the hijinks,” she said.

‘Romance at the Vineyard’

“Romance at the Vineyard” stars Susie Abromeit and Tim Ross in the leading roles as Allee and Ethan respectively. Cameron Robbie also stars as Nick.

The synopsis of this original movie is: When it looks as though Allee’s family vineyard, Merado, is at stake, she is forced to pair with a new friend in an effort to avoid selling the property. What she doesn’t know is that her newfound partner works for the corporate wine chain aiming to buy the property.

On writing the script for “Romance at the Vineyard,” she said, “That was very poignant and special. It was my first time working with Steve Jaggi in Australia, and he become one of my favorite producers to work with.”

The digital age

She opened up about being an actor and filmmaker in the digital age. “I struggle with it,” she admitted. “Social media is really tough for me because I am a really private person but I also want to promote projects.”

“I struggle with how much to share and how much to post, but I love getting to connect with people, especially when the new movies come out. That’s one of my favorite parts of my job. I love the Great American Family fans and viewers because they always make the movies trend,” she elaborated.

“Great American Family has welcomed me with open arms and it just felt more like a family,” she added.

On her plans for the future, she foreshadowed, “We have some things up our sleeves for 2024.”

Dream collaboration choices

On her dream collaboration choices in the entertainment industry, she listed Danica McKellar, Candace Cameron Bure, Marshall Williams, and Daniel Lissing. “Candace is a powerhouse, and I would love to collaborate with her as a producer, and learn from her behind-the-scenes,” she said. “I would love to do a crossover film with Danica.”

‘A Christmas Frequency’

Gordon also discussed doing the rom-com “A Christmas Frequency,” where she worked with Jonathan Stoddard, Denise Richards, and James Hyde. “I love James…I want to cast James in everything that I do. He is just amazing and he gives the best compliments. James has the best energy and the best light,” she said.

Stage of her life

On the title of the current chapter of her life, she revealed, “Creation and Abundance.”

Superpower of choice

If she were to have any superpower, it would be “time travel.” “As a writer, I would like to be able to go back and experience what things were like 50, 75, or 100 years ago. I would love that,” she said.

Success

On her definition of the word success, Gordon said, “Success means having the freedom to live, do, and create.”

Foreigner-class Servants based on how tasty I think they are

Abby: 2/10 puritan diet probably makes for a lean and tough meat

Hokusai (The father): 9/10 chewy :> an actual octopus, I wonder if his insides are also of octopus or if it's a bag of human organs compressed into the shape of an octopus. 10/10 if so, cause the pop would be as satisfying as one of those half-boiled eggs where the yolk is still melty and you managed to pierce it just right in your mouth

Hokusai/Oui (The daughter): 1/10 have you seen how thin her limbs are? Atrocious lifestyle choices too (I'm not eating her until she's taken a shower)

Mysterious Heroine XX: 8/10 active lifestyle, eat a lot of delicious junk food herself, those thighs are thicc

Yang Guifei: 7/10 chubby, life of luxury, already seasoned with some spicy burn

Voyager: 0/10 this is metal. You're trying to get me to eat metal bundled in a scrawny boy's skin. No.

Abby (Summer): 6/10 still as scrawny as her regular self, but all those sugary pancakes have to amount to something

Van Gogh: 10/10 I want to eat her. I wonder if her meat's closer to plant or animal? If it's plant, it probably changes textures based on her emotional state, turning crunchier the hornier she is, like from an onion to a good apple. If it's more animal/human-like, it would probably smell a lot like fish or the ocean's saltwater, mixed with some spice from all the void stuff. I want to suck on her fingers like it's chicken wings. I want to eat her feet chilled like sashimi. I want to eat her I want to eat her I want to eat her I want ot eat her

Mysterious Idol X Alter: 9/10 being an idol is a lot of activity, and her diet of sugary snacks probably makes for a lot of fat

Molay: 7/10 I like lamb meat. She probably tastes like spicy lamb. I'll eat it.

Dark Koyan: 9/10 the best damn steak in the entire world

TW: Blood and slight horror

So I drew Abigail, but I wanted to do something different. So here she is, as a bleeding bust

I wanted to draw Lawson as well to accompany her, but I had to go to bed :,)

[couldcarefewer]

it's a fucking crime that Abigail wasn't marketed like Hereditary, in that the promo materials lead you to believe you're going to see one movie, and it's not until you're in the theater half an hour into it that you realize you have no idea what you're watching

[trulyatessfan]

INKEMBER DAY 30: FAVORITE SHIP

But I'm in the trees, I'm in the breeze

My footsteps on the ground

You'll see my face in every place

But you can't catch me now

⚠️TW for mild blood!⚠️

And tagging @chelleinyy because you are this couple's biggest fan lololol

So Justin Lawson and his late fiance aren't technically my FAVORITE couple, but I've already drawn my actual favorite couples lol. But I do think they are quite interesting, considering the massive impact Abigail's death had on Justin and how much it influenced his character development. And something tells me she wouldn't be happy with how he turned out in Capital Peak, so have her ghost glaring disapprovingly at him.

[fate-grand-master]

Van Gogh: Depressed.

Hokusai: Possessed.

Two Promises, One Fulfilled-2

CHAPTER 2

Caught by the hand of justice, the muggers would soon face their reckoning in court. However, amidst the impending trial, an inexplicable force had drawn him here. Justin found himself seated not at the head of the aisle or by the pulpit, but among the gathering of mourners as Abigail's father delivered a eulogy.

"She was truly remarkable, a radiant presence..."

Alongside him, Abigail's mother held a handkerchief against her face, stifling her silent sobs. Justin's pats on her back, though a gesture of solace, was something he could not do for himself. His gaze remained locked on a photograph of Abigail, resplendent in white, surrounded by a wreath. Slowly, his eyes wandered to the casket.

A horrible feeling came to his chest whenever he looked at that coffin. It always did. He had rushed to Sinner’s End after Arthur and Bontemps announced her death, only to find the scene being cleaned up by the police. In disbelief, he had witnessed the police cleaning up the remnants of the incident, traces of blood staining the surroundings. It had been a mere matter of days since their wedding had been abruptly called off.

“Oh, Abigail…my sweet girl…” sobbed her mother. Justin avoided looking at her too. She was gone, Abigail was gone…but it felt impossible. It was only two days before their wedding, and she had been fitted into her gown according to the details shared by Walter.

Once more, his gaze settled on the casket, his vision blurred by the onset of tears. The familiar heat that welled in his eyes just by looking at the coffin or the cleaned wedding dress that now sits in her home, mingled with a sinking sensation in his chest—a feeling of profound loss and helplessness.

His mind felt clearer, yet still so vague. Justin wasn’t sure if he preferred to think or not to think at all at the moment.

“Her mother and I will always remember her, as the child we loved, and unfortunately lost. We can only hope that wherever she may find herself now, she is freed from the pain that shadowed her final hours."

The eulogy drew to a close, and Abigail's father retreated from the front of the casket, his eyes avoiding the sight. As he passed Justin, he felt a fleeting touch on his shoulder which communicated sorrow, the unspoken release of a cry.

Justin wiped his eyes and directed his gaze to the casket once more. One by one, mourners stepped forward, adorning the casket with flowers. Justin lingered, eventually taking his turn.

"No... not this. Not like this."

In that instant, he turned away, retreating toward the fringes of the crowd. An inexpressible tightness was felt in his throat, rendering him unable to speak. The tears that he had struggled to contain now flowed freely. Though he did not openly sob, his bowed head bore the trace of glistening tears for those who looked at him closely.

The funeral gradually drew to a close, the crowd dispersing in a somber procession. Each person who passed by Justin offered their condolences.

"Please accept my deepest sympathies, Mr. Lawson."

"May you find solace. The pain of losing a loved one is immeasurable."

Then, a somber figure approached—the familiar presence of Walter. His expression mirrored the weight of the occasion. With a heartfelt embrace, Walter offered solace, though Justin's own grief left him unable to reciprocate the gesture.

“I shed tears for her last night," Walter confessed softly, his voice heavy. "Remember, Justin, I'm here whenever you need to talk. My condolences." As they parted, Justin's gaze remained affixed to the ground, his eyes damp from unshed tears.

"Thank you, Walter," his voice trembled, fragile under the weight of his emotion. With a parting touch on his back, Walter took his leave, leaving Justin alone amidst the quiet of the cemetery. The crowd had dispersed, leaving behind only Abigail's relatives clustered near the gravestone. He couldn't bring himself to witness the casket's descent into the earth—too painful a sight to bear.

With a trembling sigh, Justin approached the gravestone. His fingers brushed against the etched words, and he exhaled shakily. The inscription read:

ABIGAIL BAINES

(1876-1907)

"Forever in the hearts of her loved ones,

an enduring source of inspiration."

"Justin?"

Turning, he faced Abigail's grieving parents. Their faces bore the raw marks of their sorrow, mirrored in his own anguished expression. With a faint smile, Justin nodded respectfully.

"Mr. and Mrs. Baines," he murmured. "Please accept my deepest condolences." His gaze remained fixed on the ground, a hesitation to meet their eyes. Alexander Baines' lips formed a sympathetic smile. "Call me Alexander, my boy. Formality holds no place in times like these." Beside him, his wife's eyes held a silent understanding, her expression gentle.

"We truly are sorry," Mrs. Baines added, her voice a soft murmur. Justin shook his head. “This loss, it touches all of us," he managed to say.

The force of the situation left Justin unable to fully meet their gaze, his eyes fixated on the ground. Alexander spoke with gentle understanding, "We know your love for Abigail was deep. She held you in the same regard..."

"I am aware...”

As the three exchanged glances, Alexander withdrew a small velvet box from his pocket. With a sense of solemn purpose, he extended it to Justin, who accepted it. He opened the box, revealing two gold rings within, inscribed with the words "Mr. and Mrs. Lawson." Justin's breath caught in his throat at the sight, the gravity of the gesture leaving him stunned.

He closed the box. No, he did not want the rings. In fact, any reminder of Abigail hurt him deeply at the moment. He couldn’t even look at the photograph he had of her at his house. He held out the box to Abigail's parents, shaking his head gently. "No, please. I cannot..."

Alexander spoke, his tone gentle yet firm. "We know the depth of your devotion to our daughter. Abigail cherished your love. Please, Justin, accept these rings."

Justin's hands trembled as he held the box. The rings now seemed to bear a heavy weight. He extended the box toward Abigail's parents once more, his voice a fragile whisper, "I can't... I can't bear it."

Abigail's mother placed her hand atop the box, gently pushing it back towards Justin. "You must, Justin. Please, for Abigail's sake."

Alexander's gaze held a mixture of empathy and understanding. "Remember, son, these are not just tokens of the past, but symbols of the love that will always endure."

His voice was barely audible as he nodded. "Thank you..."

He felt the box's weight in his hands, the emotional turmoil too profound for words. What good was it to keep them if the other one will never be worn by Abigail? Another further reminder that she's gone. Nothing could be done to take her back.

With a measured breath, he finally managed to articulate the question that lingered on his lips.

"Could you kindly remind me, when is the trial scheduled for this week?"
