During the last season of Chesapeake Shores (which was also its inaugural season), I connected with a couple of crew members behind-the-scenes, and Kirsten Hansen was one of them. It is tremendously gratifying for me to witness her expanded involvement with the show this season, and in spite of her frenetic schedule, she took a few moments to answer some […]

I don’t intend to ever sound like a broken record, but I still declare one of my favorite things about the Hallmark Network is that it regularly features actors who are virtually unknown, and once established within the network, the loyalty of Hallmark to these working actors is astronomical. In the case of Ben Corns, he has been the recipient […]

During season three of the Hallmark Channel popular show, When Calls the Heart, I had the opportunity of interviewing several actors who had minor roles in the cast, and it just so happens that Larissa Albuquerque was one of them. As often happens, her role was expanded during season four, and it is possible that Katie Yost may have an even […]

Last summer, I had the magnificent privilege of chatting with Barbara Niven prior to the premiere of the Hallmark original series, Chesapeake Shores.  Our friendship began a few years ago during the airing of Cedar Cove, and with each passing year, I find myself more in awe and appreciative of this benevolent soul. There is something uniquely vibrant and genuine about Barbara that […]

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to interview an enterprising industry professional whom I referred to as driven, and although I was convinced that I would be seeing more from her in the future, I was actually wonderstruck by how much she has appeared on my screen in the past few months. From Lifetime to UP to Hallmark, viewers […]

When I was interviewing Mel Mack, the writer/director of Touching Mary, she directed me towards an actress whom I had recently seen in a Hallmark film, Kim Baptiste. Although life got somewhat in the way on both of our ends, I am happy to finally share with you this amazing interview I was honored to have with the lovely Kim. RH: […]

Approximately three years ago, I had the extraordinary pleasure of connecting with a man who has since become one of my dearest friends. Typically when I interview someone, I do not know the actor personally, but in the case of Sebastian Spence, we have a fairly extensive history. He has consistently been supportive of my writing (even when it was […]

About a year or so ago, I had the pleasure of interviewing the talented young man, Connor Stanhope. As he has continued to portray Logan Shannon, the son of Jen Shannon (played by the incomparable Lori Loughlin) and in light of the fact that Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is currently featuring a special limited edition mini-series with their most popular […]

I remember the first time I saw Jason Cermak on my TV screen. He played what Hearties often refer to as “Hot Doc,” and unfortunately, we were only treated to his talents in one additional episode in season three of When Calls the Heart. Thankfully, we saw him in mystery films, a Hallmark film here and there, and once in awhile […]
