Media From the Heart by Ruth Hill

Earlier this year, I was introduced to one of the most gracious, gorgeous and talented up and coming actresses I have encountered on the Hallmark Channel–Sandy Sidhu. She made a tremendous splash with Frozen In Love, her first real supporting lead in a Hallmark movie. And from her success with that film, she has gone on to even more roles on […]

I cannot tell you how eager I am to watch Once Upon A Christmas Miracle tonight (12/2) on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network, and I was fortunate enough to be able to interview one of the writers of this movie, Erinne Dobson. More than likely, you have seen one of her films and/or shows previously, so if you have a […]

Being the devoted Hallmark supporter that I am, I have been honored to introduce a multitude of first-time Hallmark actors to the fans this year, and Christian Vincent is no exception. In this case, he is a brand new actor to me as well, and discovering that he is a multi-talented, multi-faceted performer was a real treat for me. Recently, […]

Very often, Hallmark and other network require more than one person on the team of writers that bring their completed films to the viewers, and Hallmark’s Christmas Wonderland, which premieres in the U.S. tonight (12/1), is no exception. Two of the writers are Michael Ciminera and Richard Gnolfo, and even though this is their first original premiere with the network, Hallmark […]

With all the fantastic content Hallmark and other networks are formulating for Christmas this year, I love the fact that I can highlight some of the phenomenal writers who work behind-the-scenes to bring us our favorite stories. Jay Cipriani is one such person, and I am honored to be able to share my recent chat with this writer whose new […]

I remember the first time I noticed Larissa Albuquerque in When Calls the Heart, and shortly thereafter, I interviewed her and featured her for the first time. Fast forward nearly three years later, and her career is continuing its upward spiral, and again, I am interviewing her (for the third time) in anticipation of her first standalone Hallmark Christmas movie tonight […]

Who doesn’t love Jen Lilley? I mean she is one of the indisputable, quickly rising queens of Hallmark, and we’re not talking just Christmas either! She is the very epitome of the network values in every aspect of her life, and I am thoroughly enraptured to be able to highlight so many of the talented people who teamed up with […]

I tell you, Hallmark is simply knocking it out of the park with their holiday movies this year, and in so doing, multiple roles have been available for supporting cast members (especially when you add in Lifetime and UP). I believe that this summer, during the Hailey Dean Mystery marathon, I noticed Jesse Arthur Carroll in one of the supporting roles. […]

If anyone remembers the Hallmark favorite movie, A Perfect Bride, from a couple of years ago, which starred the dynamic duo, Kavan Smith and Pascale Hutton, you just might remember Debs Howard. Whenever I rewatch that film, I always remember her as the one who yelled, “I like stomach crunches!”  And you just felt like turning to her and chiding, “Would […]
