One of the things that genuinely inspires me about the entertainment world within the past few years is that the landscape is becoming increasingly diverse. While some networks and companies have forced the diversity card, Hallmark continues to dazzle by adding diversity of the cast and crew without sacrificing the narrative or the heart. It is my honor to introduce […]

As my readers know, I definitely foster a passion for the film and TV industry everywhere, but Vancouver B.C. perpetually holds a particularly special place in my heart. I am forever attempting to reach out to actors with whom I have had not previously had any contact, and it just so happens that Bernadette Beck is one of those incredible […]

Vancouver, B.C. is a place rich with talent, and Hallmark, as well as other networks, often draw from this incredible pool of industry professionals. Sometimes I feel as though I’m a bit of a broken record, but there truly is something special about the preponderance of people who live and work in this segment of the entertainment industry. One such […]

When it comes to the Hallmark Signature Mysteries, it has never been a secret that I adore every one of them with a passion. However, there is something special about the Hailey Dean Mysteries, and it just so happens that Matthew MacCaull is one of the reasons that these films are so exceptional.

A couple of years ago, I had the honor of interviewing the lovely Fiona Vroom, and watching the trajectory of her career since that time has been a veritable treat.

Then when I overheard that an actor by the name of Viv Leacock was attached to the series, I was delighted to do an interview […]

Because of Hallmark’s Signed, Sealed, Delivered franchise, I was quite pleased to be officially introduced to the talent of Aaron Craven. I have been following his Hallmark works, as well as many of his non-Hallmark works, for some time, and I was delighted to see his return to the network in Easter Under Wraps. Moreover, when I ascertained that he would […]

Those who are fans of the Hallmark Channel show When Calls the Heart are well aware of the incredible ensemble cast this show employs. In fact, my list of “favorite” characters changes quite regularly, and to try to choose just one or two highly-esteemed cast members is a literal impossibility. To be honest, probably every single character within Hope Valley […]

In case anyone marvels at my affection for or wonders about my preferences for the various Hallmark Signature Mystery series, I readily admit to fostering a strong affinity for the Hailey Dean Mysteries from the moment the first film premiered back in 2016 on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network. Who could not love Kellie Martin? And Nancy Grace is […]
