I love reconnecting with actors who were amongst the first to recognize and support my initial attempts at writing, and Jaime Callica is just such an actor. He noticed my review of The Bridge around the time it first premiered, and when I became an interviewer, he was one of the first ones I “hit up” for a chat. Throughout the […]

Whenever I have the opportunity (which is never often enough, considering my busy schedule), I truly delight in sitting down and watching Home & Family on the Hallmark Channel. With all the talk shows that discuss politics, gossip, and more negative things in this world of ours, it’s simply a breath of fresh air to watch a morning talk show that […]

For an updated interview with Mark, please see this post. Devoted Hearties will probably remember the sad day that Mark Humphrey sent out the tweet stating the fact that he would not be involved in season five of When Calls the Heart. From that moment on, Hearties (led principally by Lori Loughlin herself) began to flood Hallmark with requests for Mark […]

In some ways, I could technically declare this my fourth interview with the amazing Ben Rosenbaum (all previous interviews will be linked below the article). After all, I did have the opportunity to meet him at the most recent Hearties Family Reunion, and he and Hrothgar Matthews kept me in stitches on that day. However, this particular interview is one […]

Interestingly enough, it was my parents who first introduced me to the Hallmark show Home & Family, and I have to admit I was a bit reticent at first. Why would I sit for two hours and watch a talk show? Other networks had those. But it wasn’t too long before I succumbed to the charm this show invariably effuses; […]

Although this is my fifth interview with Paul Greene (find links to my other interviews with him at the end of this article), please note that this one is a bit different from the previous ones. As some of you may be aware, Paul is an amazing advocate for ALS, a disease which claimed the life of his father a […]

Back when the Hallmark movie Love By Chance premiered on the network, I noticed a supporting cast member whom I found quite intriguing–John Cassini. This began my unofficial support of his career, and once a cast member from the new Fixer Upper Mystery series told me that John was Jewel’s acting coach, I knew I had to do some more research on […]

As most of my readers (if not all) know quite well, my heart is often attached to the supporting cast and crew of any movie and TV show, and I do my utmost to highlight these sometimes-forgotten industry professionals. I simply adore the leading ladies and men like any fan does, but having the opportunity to interview one who “has […]

Some time ago, I had the occasion to chat with Anna Van Hooft, an accomplished actress I had been following closely since her Cedar Cove days. Since she is quickly becoming a Hallmark favorite casting choice as the “other woman” in these sweet, romantic comedies. I am grateful I was able to request an updated interview to which she quickly agreed. […]

I can still remember the first time I saw Marcus Rosner on my television screen as the affluent elitist named Charles Kensington on When Calls the Heart, and like most of the fans, I couldn’t stand the guy. I never worried he would capture Elizabeth’s heart, but there were times I simply desired him to leave and not return. However, […]
