So it was only fitting that she continue her role, this time in animated form. Viewers of the series will enjoy Rachel in both Journey to Green Gables, as well as Anne: The Animated Series, in which she takes up her position as the town newspaper’s gossip columnist and Anne and Gilbert’s first official employer.
Dalene Irvine played tomboy Maisey McGinty in Kevin Sullivan’s award-winning series Wind at my Back. But in this animated film, Irvine portrays the complete opposite as the prim and proper Felicity King. Felicity is often the bane of Anne and Diana’s existence and has a lot of learning to do, along with Anne.
