Who Plays Taylor in ‘Every Year After’? Get to Know Roan Curtis
What To Know
- Roan Curtis plays Sam’s girlfriend, Taylor, in Every Year After.
- In the book, Sam breaks up with Taylor the second Percy returns to Barry’s Bay.
- The cast revealed to Swooon that they would love to see Roan Curtis return for Season 2.
Every Year After may be a beautiful love story for Sam (Matt Cornett) and Percy (Sadie Soverall), but for one character, it’s a bit of a horror movie. Think Daphne at the start of Emily Henry‘s Funny Story. It’s never fun to be abandoned by the one you love, all because a childhood friend reenters their life.
Taylor, Sam’s girlfriend, whom he’s planning to propose to, has become a major point of discussion since the series June 10 premiere. Played by Roan Curtis, the star of Hallmark‘s Hope Valley: 1874, it’s hard not to like Sam’s pediatrician, almost-fiancée. As the character gets far more screen time than she had on the page, it’s clear that we have to do a little digging into her role in the series.
So, who is Roan Curtis? Was Taylor in Carley Fortune‘s original book, Every Summer After? And could she appear in future seasons? Swooon‘s breaking down all that and more below.
Who is Taylor in Every Year After?
In case you missed it, Taylor is Sam’s girlfriend in the early episodes of Every Year After Season 1. She reveals that she met Sam in medical school and is currently doing her fellowship in pediatric surgery while he’s doing his in cardiology.
Curtis is a Canadian actress best known for Hallmark’s When Calls the Heart spinoff Hope Valley: 1874, where she is caught in one of 2026 TV’s most intriguing love triangles. Seriously, check that series out if you haven’t already. It’s so swoonworthy.
The actress began acting at eight years old. Now, at 29, she has starred in multiple series and movies. Aside from her most recent role of Olivia Quinn in Hope Valley: 1874, she has portrayed Young Kate in Firefly Lane, Charlotte Gillespie in Sidelined 2: Intercepted, and Marian Sykes in Before I Fall.
Was Taylor in the book?
Yes, Taylor is a character in the book. However, fans have been quick to note that Sam immediately breaks up with Taylor the second Percy returns home to Barry’s Bay. Further, there is no proposal plot in Every Summer After.

Would Taylor return for future seasons?
While Sam breaks up with Taylor during Episode 5 of Every Year After, Cornett and Soverall revealed in a recent interview with Swooon that they would love to see Curtis to return for a future season of Every Year After.
“I really love Roan,” Cornett gushed. “She was so lovely. We had so much fun, and I really hope that we are able to see Taylor get her moment, but yeah, we’ll see. Maybe her and Percy can become friends.”
