Once in awhile, there is a name that just embeds itself in my brain and I cannot seem to obliterate it. Interestingly enough, it just so happens that Preston Vanderslice is one of those names. Thankfully, he is more than just a memorable name as he is a noteworthy actor as well. I first noticed him in Love By Chance, and it seems […]

This past summer, I contacted the author of The Convenient Groom, Denise Hunter, because I wanted to make sure that I had the opportunity to ask her some questions about her upcoming book-turned-film. Unfortunately, life got in the way, and I forgot to follow up after our initial contact. Thankfully, one of her books is also featured in Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas (A […]

Over the past couple years as I have reached out to a vast range of diverse actors and actively supported their careers, there have been noteworthy moments that are forever cemented within my heart and mind. The first time an actor responded to me. The first time an actor commented on one of my reviews. Even the first time an actor left […]

With the myriad of choices in the world of TV and film, it’s all too easy to permit priceless gems to pass us by due to time constraints, lack of interest, and even sheer laziness (at times, that is true in my life). Thankfully, we have people who champion the causes of very special shows that may go undetected by the general […]

Being somewhat of a Hallmark “SuperFan,” I do tend to lend my categorical support in an immense way to their projects, and it just so happens that Chesapeake Shores, which is incidentally Hallmark’s currently most popular series, is a project about which I have no problem promoting. In fact, it is a joy and an honor to have the opportunity to advocate […]

Being the Hallmark aficionado that I am, I am definitely a fan of the weekday show Home & Family. Even though I don’t consistently have the opportunity to watch all the segments every single day, there are some names embedded in my memory and various segments that are genuinely unforgettable. And “Renegade Kitchen” is decidedly one of those. Then again, I am the cook in my […]

As an avid supporter of Hallmark’s Cedar Cove show, I connected with practically all of the actors involved with the series. As a result, as they have moved on to other ventures, I have been blessed enough to interview almost all of them. It was such an honor to speak with Anna Van Hooft (Linnette) earlier this summer. She and I […]

Being the Hallmark Channel fan that I am, I am always interested in “discovering” as many of the actors and actresses connected with their shows and films as possible. And in this case, I noticed Brittany Willacy in last week’s Chesapeake Shores show, and I knew that I longed for the opportunity to ask her a few questions about her role […]

In this day and age, a plenitude of young people crave the “fast track” to fame and fortune, and this means that they often seek jobs within the entertainment community. Without any difficulty, they expect to become an “overnight” success because they are, by their own admission, so “cool.” Thankfully, there are young actors like Sidney Grigg, who are willing to invest the time […]

As I’ve stated previously, I have been “out of the loop” when it comes to network programming for some time, and as a result, many of the actors who are household names, I have only heard and/or seen in passing. Therefore, Treat Williams was someone I knew by name only until the advent of Chesapeake Shores on the Hallmark Channel. From […]
