So excited to hear about Corus’ Fall 2019 Lineup! What a killer spread by @McEwanFoods! I will admit I mistakened the Butter for Cream Cheese. So I may have a heart attack later. All good! #CorusUpfront

#TheWalkingDead star #TomPayne at the #CorusUpfront for #ProdigalSon. He says he’s “thankful Michael Sheen doesn’t completely stay in character through the whole thing as that would be creepy”. Payne plays the son of a serial killer on the Show.
