This past July, when the Hallmark Channel premiered a Christmas film entitled The Christmas Cure (written by Marcy Holland), I took a keen interest in the secondary romance depicted in this film. While I adored the leads (and who couldn’t be enamored with Patrick Duffy?), I tend to have an uncanny affinity for the supporting characters. I chatted with Dale this […]

I’m not gonna lie. One of the things I adore about the Hallmark network is that they regularly employ the most talented kids, and very often, those children’s work on Hallmark is amongst their first credits and regularly leads to a plethora of more opportunities. Therefore, when I watched Christmas In the Air a couple weeks ago, I was overjoyed to […]

I remember reading about A Bramble House Christmas becoming a Hallmark Christmas movie, and at the time, I was so excited for the author, C.J. Carmichael. I knew nothing of her nor her works, but the premise and the title just seemed like a perfect fit with this beloved network. Later, when I discovered that David Haydn-Jones and Autumn Reeser were […]

Back when The Irresistible Blueberry Farm premiered on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, I had the opportunity to chat and connect with the amazing actress, Rebecca Staab. I was never a soap opera fan, so I was unaware of her considerable and tremendous body of work, but she and I had an instant rapport. When I discovered she was going to appear […]

Thanks to the lovely and supportive Teresa Minutolo, I had the pleasure of initially connecting with and interviewing the phenomenal and accomplished David Haydn-Jones. I had been a fan of his and had heard him mentioned and seen him featured in a wide variety of contexts, but it was that first interview and interaction with him that irrefutably cemented my […]

My loyal readers and Hallmark fans are aware of my adoration for Brennan Elliott and all of his films, especially his Hallmark movies. For that reason, Love You Like Christmas became a quick favorite last year because he was the star. However, the storyline was quite sweet, and when I learned that one of Hallmark’s first published books was going to […]

If you’re a fairly devoted Hallmark fan like me, you probably noticed a new face last year during Hallmark’s summer movies series in the film called Stop the Wedding, but no doubt many Hallmark fans knew about Niall Matter long before that. Hearties will remember him as the single father, Shane, who kissed Faith on their first date. And fans of Finding […]

I had the supreme joy and honor of interviewing author Robin Jones Gunn before the premiere of her book turned movie last year entitled Finding Father Christmas, and I was immensely excited when I learned there was going to be a sequel this year. In spite of Robin’s incredibly busy personal and professional life, she took a few moments recently to […]
