Does Amy Die in Heartland?

Amy Fleming is the main character in the Canadian drama series Heartland (2007- ) which is popular with horse lovers worldwide. In the show, Amy is a gifted horse trainer who heals troubled horses.

At the end of Season 13, Amy is shot in the shoulder by a poacher, leading many fans to believe she might die.

Despite getting shot in the shoulder in the Season 13 finale, Amy does not die in Heartland. Her husband Ty got her to the hospital in time for the doctors to stop the bleeding and she makes a full recovery.

Thanks to Ty’s heroic actions jumping on top of Amy, the stray bullet didn’t hit any vital organs. As we all know, unfortunately, Ty himself wasn’t so lucky. He was also shot by the same bullet and later developed a blood clot which killed him.

In the flashback of Ty’s death in Season 14 Episode 1 “Keep Me in Your Heart”, Amy is shown wearing a black arm sling over her right shoulder. This is the only reference we see to her recovery from the gunshot, and in the next scene she is already fully healthy.

Is Amy leaving Heartland?

We must remember that the Heartland series has been running for an incredible 15 years now. In fact, Heartland is the number one longest-running one-hour drama in the history of Canadian television.

Playing Amy on the show has already been a long-term commitment for the actress Amber Marshall. And so, some fans are worried, could she be thinking about leaving Heartland?

There is no news of Amy leaving Heartland any time soon. The actress has always been the most committed to the show out of the entire cast and is unlikely to leave in the near future.

Besides, there is no indication at the end of Season 15 that Amy would be leaving Heartland. The ranch is her and Lyndy’s home, and Amy’s help will be needed at the nearby horse therapy center.

If we’re honest, Amy is the only character in Heartland the show cannot go without. Her special gift for healing horses and their relationship with humans has always been at the center of the series. Therefore, Amy’s departure would also mean the end of Heartland.

And because none of the fans could imagine Amy being played by anyone else, Heartland also needs Amber Marshall to keep going. Luckily, Marshall has always been passionate about the stories told in the series. After all, she is the real-life version of her character living on a 100-acre ranch with her horses!
