It is an undeniable fact that one of the most universally adored “Countdown To Christmas” movies that Hallmark has ever done is The Nine Lives of Christmas. My dad still maintains it is one of his all-time favorites, and every Christmas, people pepper their social media accounts with quips, pictures and more expressing their surpassing love for this sweet holiday rom-com […]

Some time ago, right before Love On A Limb premiered on the Hallmark Channel, I had the honor of interviewing the vivacious and inspiring star of that film, Ashley Williams. I had been a fan of her sister for some time, but this was the movie that truly introduced me to her as an artist, wife, mother, humanitarian, and so […]

I do not recall how long ago it was when I initially heard about a possible Godwinks television series, but at the time, I had absolutely no idea what that meant except that it would be a faith-based series and it would be on the Hallmark Network. Some time passed, and I actually wondered if perhaps the deal had fallen […]

This season, Hallmark Channel’s Countdown To Christmas commenced with a veritable bang due to the blockbuster film entitled Christmas At Pemberley Manor. While I knew the movie would be excellent, I didn’t expect to fall in love with every aspect of this film in the comprehensive way I did. While I understand and accept that most of the viewers had their […]

A few years ago, I had the pleasure of discovering a young lady in the first Gourmet Detective film that aired on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and shortly thereafter, she was also seen in When Calls the Heart on the Hallmark Channel. I interviewed Ali Skovbye then, and before long, she became one of my all-time favorite young actresses. As I have watched […]

Yet again, I am honored to highlight another young actor in the Vancouver film community whom I first discovered as a result of the Hallmark Channel and their popular show, When Calls the Heart. As he has matured and honed his skillset, it became the right time for me to connect with him and ask him a few questions about his […]

Recently, I had the joy of connecting with yet another young artist who is beginning to carve out a niche for herself and her skillset in the Vancouver film community. Eden Summer Gilmore, who will make her Hallmark debut in the movie It’s Christmas, Eve, is a beautiful young woman with a huge heart and a massive talent. It was my […]

I know that I regularly mention Cedar Cove and the actors with whom I connected on that very special Hallmark Channel show, but in so many ways, I wouldn’t be the entertainment journalist I am now without that show. Giles Panton was only a part of season three, and in spite of the fact that his role was somewhat meager at […]

As many of my readers know quite well, one of my nearest and dearest passions is that of highlighting positive young people in the film/TV industry, and in the case of Hannah VandenBygaart, the term “positive” only begins to describe the wonder that she is. I have only recently become aware of her multitudinous talents, and I am honored to […]

I think there are some actors we see in several of our favorite Hallmark movies and more, and all too often, we don’t take the time to learn their names nor investigate their other works. Trust me–even I do it! It was only because of Tammy Gillis that I was ever introduced to the talented Jim Thorburn (who just happens […]
