Back to Sons and Daughters

Jan 5, 1984 - "Boys and Girls." Megan Follows and Ian Heath star as Margaret and Laird in this compelling drama, the first of six dramas to be seen on Sons and Daughters.

Nov 10, 1985 - "I Know A Secret." Lucy Maud Montgomery's story about a young girl in a Prince Edward Island village who yearns to know a secret — any secret that might win her the friendship of the local children and particularly of one Dovie Johnson.
