    Thanks to the Hallmark Network, I have the honor of connecting with exceptional people like Jason Cermak on a somewhat consistent basis. Hearties have always loved him, and Sleuthers enjoyed seeing him in the popular Fixer Upper Mysteries series with Jewel and Colin Ferguson. Making his début on the Countdown to Christmas line-up (apart from a When Calls the Heart movie that […]

    My regular readers are well aware of my affinity for highlighting those behind the scenes, and in the case of Joie Botkin, interviewing her was a genuine treat. She has become a fast fan and network favorite screenwriter, and before we close out our holiday season programming, it is my honor to share our recent chat. RH: Why did you decide […]

    One of the dearest people I know in the When Calls the Heart family has to be Andrea Brooks. She was one of those very first interviews I ever did (I actually interviewed her back when she was NOT popular and the fans were insisting that she leave Jack alone!), and I’ve never forgotten her professionalism, her kindness, her talent, and […]

    While I make it a priority to watch Hallmark network Christmas movies, I do my best to watch the Christmas movies on other channels as well. Sometimes I find a gem that for which I was not searching, and in the case of Christmas Catch (which I saw on UP TV), I was pleasantly surprised with the actor who played the lead, […]

    Can you believe it, Hearties? I have had the supreme honor of interviewing Mark Humphrey three times now, and each time I do, it always becomes one of my favorite conversations. When I realized that Mark was in a new Christmas movie for Hallmark this season, I KNEW I had to do another follow-up interview, and I’m happy to present […]

    If I remember correctly, about a year and a half ago, Paul Greene and Brooke Nevin were on Home & Family and participated in a joint Facebook live. At the time, Paul posted a comment saying that not only would he like to work with Brooke one day, but he thought that I should interview her. From that moment on, […]

    If you were amongst the viewers who watched and enjoyed Once Upon A Christmas Miracle this year (either on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries or on the W Network), you were a part of record-breaking network history. There is no doubt about it that this based-on-a-true-story movie resonated with an extensive segment of viewers this holiday season. There is also a chance […]

    I always make the claim that Hallmark consistently selects the best young actors for their productions. And in the case of the upcoming Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film, Christmas At Grand Valley, that is decidedly true. Recently, I connected with Gage Graham-Arbuthnot, who plays the son of Brennan Elliot‘s character in the film, and I discovered that this movie will not […]

    Even though the Hallmark movie The Bridge may not be my all-time favorite movie on the network, I must say that the most special thing about the movie is that it introduced me to the great Jaime Callica. From the moment I saw him in that film, I became a champion of his works. Through all the ups and downs […]

    I don’t remember when I first came across the actress Courtney Gonzalez, but I seem to remember seeing a random Instagram post by her that mentioned Hallmark and/or maybe other shows as well. All I know is that when I reached out to her, she was very willing to do an interview with me, and I was happy to highlight […]
