Casey is a mysterious time‑traveler character on Hallmark’s series The Way Home , introduced as Kat’s bright but secretive intern who clearly knows more about the Landrys and the pond than they initially let on.

Who Casey Is (So Far)

  • Casey is played by actor Vaughan Murrae and uses they/them pronouns; the character is explicitly non‑binary in the show and in fan/community discussions.
  • They arrive in Port Haven as Kat Landry’s intern, quickly forming a connection with Kat and Alice while clearly recognizing things they “shouldn’t” know about the Landry family.
  • Over Seasons 2–3, it’s confirmed in‑story that Casey is a time traveler connected to the Goodwin family line, though not in the way Alice first assumes.

Time‑Travel & Goodwin Connection

  • Casey initially claims Lewis Goodwin is their father, but later admits he is actually their second cousin, revealing that their family is tied to the Goodwins rather than being a direct child of Lewis.
  • They previously stayed as a hidden “squatter” at Lingermore (the old property) and secretly used the attic, leaving behind items like a burner phone and a chess piece that later clue Alice in.
  • By the end of the key Season 3 episode “Tell Me Something Good,” Alice witnesses Casey using the pond the same way she does, confirming they are from the future and not just a strangely well‑informed intern.

What Casey Is Not (Yet)

  • Casey explicitly tells Alice they are not her future child with Max Goodwin, shutting down one of the biggest fan theories that had built up around them.
  • Executive producers have said that while Casey’s time‑traveler status is now out in the open, their full family identity and exact place in the Landry/Goodwin web is still being held back for later seasons, keeping the mystery alive into Season 4.
  • Because of that, most of the “Casey is X’s child/cousin” ideas you’ll see on forums are still speculation rather than canon confirmation, even if some of them align with clues like the ring Casey wears or their Goodwin surname.

Fandom & Forum Talk

  • On fan subreddits, people highlight that Casey’s non‑binary identity is handled with some care, and mods repeatedly remind posters to respect their pronouns.
  • Popular theories on forums include: Casey as a descendant of various Landry or Goodwin branches, a link to Eliot’s family, or a future relative who’s deliberately hiding their exact lineage while nudging events around the pond.
  • Many fans see Casey as one of the show’s most “mercurial” characters, with producers also describing them as especially flexible and open‑ended, which lets future seasons reshape their role as more time‑travel twists are revealed.

TL;DR: Casey in The Way Home is Kat’s non‑binary intern who turns out to be a Goodwin‑connected time traveler from the future, central to the pond mystery, but the show has not fully revealed who they are in the family tree yet.
