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 […]

Shortly after the premiere of Season For Love this summer on the Hallmark Channel, I reached out to the writers of this film, Heather Provost and Scott Damian, and in so doing, I discovered they had also written A Joyous Christmas, part of the Hallmark Christmas programming on the Movies & Mysteries Network last year. Being the Hallmark supporter that I am, […]

I am always on the hunt for stand-out supporting characters, especially in Hallmark movies. When I watched Return To Christmas Creek earlier this month, I noticed the character, Nathan, who in some ways, was a bit of comic relief at times. I researched the talented actor who portrayed this role, and I immediately reached out to Byron Abalos for an interview. […]

Yet again, I find myself hearkening back to the phenomenal cast and crew that graced the screen in Hallmark Channel’s first original series, Cedar Cove. As I told Colin Ferguson in this interview, I was rather predisposed to not like him and find everything wrong with his character, Paul, when he showed up season three. However, I quickly discovered that his […]

Over the past few years, I have had the glorious opportunity to chat with many marvelous actresses, and there are a few with whom I have connected on a rather profound level. In the case of Nikki DeLoach, I cannot think of a more beautiful, talented, and extraordinary human being than this lovely and amazing artist, who wholeheartedly embodies the […]

It is safe to state that Hallmark fans have been in love with the delightfully gifted Lisa Durupt, at least from the time we first saw her opposite Alison Sweeney in the popular Murder, She Baked mystery series. Since that time, Lisa’s roles have been diverse and engaging, and the Hallmarkies have followed her career and enjoyed her works on a variety […]
