This summer seems to be the summer of new shows–at least for me. And because many of my favorite actors are going to be guest-starring on the new show Dead of Summer, I developed a tremendous interest in the show itself as well as the main cast members of the show. It just so happens that Eli Goree is one of those […]

As I have stated on many occasions, I was never necessarily a “soap opera” fan.

If you haven’t guessed, for me, there is nothing better than meeting “new” actors and actresses–by that, I mean new to me. Over my time of being a devoted Hallmark viewer, I have had the opportunity to be introduced to such lovely people, and Meghan Heffern is certainly no exception to that.
