To Kate and Scott, thank you for filling us in tonight on what transpired on the Island. It's behind you now and we look forward to this new adventure, glad the sheep and the cats are fine and you are both healing after this very difficult time love and blessing from South Africa

[CindyNorris-ql]

Katie, your voice is beautiful. Please sing more to us viewers!

[Quill._]

Katie, after hearing the awfulness of being secretly filmed and then hearing you sing so beautifully had me in tears. Your grace & quiet dignity is special and rare.

[GILLIANCOWELL-is]

It warms my heart to see Kate laughing again after all she’s been through. Having to keep it all quiet must of made Scott’s blood boil, you are both an amazing couple xxx

[SmileyKat_]

So glad your free from all that BS and drama. I vote for Katie to sing a little on every video. Your voice is beautiful!❤

[Avey]

Kate, as a retired Church Minister, I love how you express what you have faith in and how it shapes you and your approach to life. Very thoughtful, very considered, very gentle and just wanting to be the best you can be. God bless X

[RonAndCarol]

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"
I can just hear the song by the Byrds that used most of those words from the bible.
It is sad that the island became hell for you, however that led you to the opportunity presented by Suzanna and her husband. Hillcroft will become heaven as you apply your skills and begin to lovingly renovate it into your home.
What a way to start the new year! We will be watching!

[LSR-cz]

You coped with dignity and integrity when treated very badly.
Katie is not only very beautiful but has a lovely voice. Love to you both for a wonderful new year and lifetime 😁

[pamsteiner]

She sings beautifully!❤ Merry Christmas and good luck and blessings for 2025.

[annettemurielle]

Thank you so much, Katie and Scott, for sharing your ordeal with us. How dreadful for you.
I loved seeing the "new" place, both temporary and long-term, and the critters—well, at least most of them.
Katie, you have a beautiful voice. Please sing to us more often. Please!
Continuing to keep you in my prayers. ❤❤❤

[RickFlood]

I'm so glad you are off that horrible isle after nearly 6 months of stress. May those who cause it experience their own life lesson. Happy New Year!

[mamanonagan]

Katie, you have a lovely singing voice! Happy New Year to you both and may 2025 be filled with good adventures. You get to write a new chapter in your life, how wonderful is that! 🎉❤️

[christinehodge]

What a journey, both of you, love the look of the new place, good luck,

[sarahdearborn]

The beauty of those ruins was incredible. Happy 2025 to you both. You do have a lovely voice Katy. Looking forward to all you'll be doing at Hillcroft. Don't look back. You're done with all the misery from before. ❤

[jackiesaylor]

I'm so sorry for all that you went through, but I'm very glad you were able to get off that island for your own peace of mind.

KATIE YOU HAVE A VERY LOVELY SINGING VOICE.

[barbaradavie]

Oh my goodness, that made me cry. I am so sorry you have been through that horrible ordeal. So glad you are now in a better place and I'm looking forward to next year with a new start and many more laughs with you and your humour. I wish you both all the very very best.

[elizabethsamson]

Rest, take a deep breath and look forward to the next better chapter. Can’t wait to see your new intro ❤

[laurieralenkotter]

You both seem much happier these days! Some things happen that seem like disasters wind up being the best thing and a way to a better place. You are both such kind and peaceful people that deserve to be treated with respect. Your voice is beautiful!

[JulieCrawford-lr]

We hope you had a wonderful Christmas away from the island and Wish you a Happy New beginning with the New Year! ❤

[bvictoria]

Thank you for the tour to the ancient standing stones and burial cairns. Fascinating archeological history. I'm looking forward to visiting Scotland in the future. Happy New Year! P.S. the music was lovely too!
