Why did Martin leave Aurora Teagarden?
Yannick Bisson played Martin Bartell in five Aurora Teagarden Mysteries movies before leaving the series in 2018. In 2020, Bisson told TV Goodness that he left the series due to scheduling issues. “I really enjoyed doing those,” he said. “Candace [Cameron Bure] is one of my favorite people. The subject matter is a lot of fun. It’s nothing too serious and I loved going to BC [British Columbia] to shoot it.” In the book series, Martin dies, but Hallmark handled his departure differently. In his final movie, Aurora Teagarden: Last Scene Alive, the ex-CIA agent was called to work on another case.
