I sometimes wonder where and how I happen upon certain actors, and more often than not, it is as simple as, “I saw you on thus-and-such, and I’d love to interview you.” And that is exactly what happened with Grainne McDermott. I happened to see a holiday movie featuring this young actress, and when I looked up her body of […]

I watched Cedar Cove from its inception on the Hallmark Channel, and most of the cast knew me as a loyal viewer and supporter. But there was something about one of the actresses on the show that always intrigued me–Hayley Sales. Her character popped up almost out of the blue one day, and then she left, oh so suddenly–far too […]

I adore Hallmark movies, and one of the best things about these sweet, romantic films is their expert use of music. Sometimes we hear established favorites from contemporary artists, which always puts me in the mood for singing along (yes, I admit, I’ve done that. Come on now, haven’t you??) On the other hand, Hallmark also uses promising musicians like […]

  A single mother desperately searches for her missing child in a beautiful, but unfamiliar land, following an apparent abduction. Trusting no one, and stopping at nothing, as she weaves her way through the murky backstreets and barren landscapes, now implicated in the murder of a seemingly innocent man, her connections back in the US begin to reveal that there […]

From the moment I saw her in Hallmark’s Cedar Cove series, I was rather intrigued with Emily Tennant, a young actress with expressive eyes, a beautiful complexion, and a busy working schedule. I have seen her in such a wide variety of works at this point that it was a true joy to get to ask her a few questions recently […]

Brilliant archaeologist Emma Fielding leads a group of students on a search for unearthed evidence of a 17th century coastal Maine settlement, and digs up a lot more than she bargained for when a dead body, rivals seeking to trump her discovery, and pressure from the university block her every move. In order to pursue her passion for this dig, […]

Almost a year ago, I had the opportunity to interview Jeff Teravainen, an actor I first noticed in one of Hallmark’s Flower Shop Mystery films. However, Jeff has been in a wide variety of works, and he is most known for some of his sci-fi appearances in Dark Matter and 12 Monkeys. Just this past week, I had the opportunity to chat […]

Are you ready for Hallmark’s premiere of Destination Wedding tonight (June 3rd)? I have had the pleasure of interviewing a good share of the cast members, and in case you missed any, check out my interviews below! Los Angeles interior designer Ellie Hamilton is helping plan her little sister’s wedding taking place in beautiful Acapulco. With the nuptials just a few […]

Yet again, I have connected with another Cedar Cove alumnus who has appeared in a wide variety of Hallmark films and more–Andrew Dunbar. In anticipation of Andrew’s supporting role in the upcoming Hallmark film Destination Wedding, he and I chatted about how he got started in the business, his thoughts about the various projects with which he has been involved, and even some […]

As far as I’m concerned, Preston Vanderslice and I are like old friends. I first interviewed him after noticing his small but significant character in a Hallmark movie a year or so ago, and since then, I have begun to see his name in various projects on the Hallmark network and elsewhere. When I discovered he was filming the new Hallmark […]
