Have you ever been watching a show, and you exclaim, “Wait a minute! That person looks familiar! Where do I know them from?” My mom does this to me regularly, and being the sleuth that I am, I adore going on the hunt for the name of the supporting cast member whether she instigates it or someone else does. In […]

As a proponent of family-friendly entertainment, I am always willing to promote quality content and industry professionals regardless of the network on which the work is featured. Even though Hallmark is where my heart lies most of the time, I do appreciate the way other networks have begun to produce movies that sometimes rival what can be seen on the […]

From the moment Rebecca Jennings stepped into the Cedar Cove saga in Hallmark’s first original series way back in season one, I was mesmerized by the woman who so brilliantly portrayed her, Cindy Busby. I wasn’t too certain about her character in that show, especially in the beginning, but there was a charismatic quality and essence about Cindy whenever she […]

Last year, I had the amazing opportunity of interviewing one of the most prolific of the “other guy” actors, Lane Edwards. He has been such an integral part of favorite Hallmark movies from The Perfect Bride 2 to Maggie’s Christmas Miracle to The Sweetest Christmas. But all too often, he is the one who got away (and good riddance that he did) […]

I honestly don’t know when I first discovered the astounding work of Jesse Moss, but no doubt it was the Hallmark Network that introduced me to him and his dynamic talent. Until I interviewed his sister, Tegan Moss, I didn’t even make the connection between the two and their familial relationship. Jesse is typically an extremely busy young man, but […]

When it comes to uplifting, family-friendly movies, I find myself regularly looking for new films and actors to investigate. In light of the fact that UP TV has been “upping” its game over the past few years, it is a delight to discover and interview actors who are new to me as a result of their original programming. And Madeline […]

There are some young actors that initially capture my attention, but due to their busy schedules, I am sometimes unable to secure them for an interview without repeated attempts over a period of years. And in truth, this is the story with Jocelyn Hudon. I first noticed her giftedness in the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie Love Locks, but her schedule […]

I readily admit the fact that I am constantly looking for new faces and names that pop up in the cast list of When Calls the Heart. While I may occasionally discover an actor who has appeared on the show before, it may be that I only have discovered that person within the realm of the current season. And in […]

I’m one of those Hearties who treasured Rosemary from the moment she whirled into the series. No, I didn’t want Rosemary and Jack to make a match of it, but how could you not love her? Or at least love Pascale Hutton, the woman who has brought her to life on the screen from the beginning! How blessed I was […]

The Hearties absolutely fell in love with Charlotte Hegele when we first saw her in season one of When Calls the Heart. As Elizabeth’s sister, Julie, she always added such a sparkle to the cast and became a perfect scene partner for Erin Krakow. We were blessed to see her return in season five, and now she is back for […]
