One of the things I appreciate the most about Hallmark and the way in which they manage their studio is their loyalty to the local talent. There are actors like Raf Rogers who have been making Hallmark movies for years, and sometimes they even become recurring characters in their movie series. I am grateful to have been alerted to Raf […]

Earlier this year, a new network show caught my attention, and my mom and I started watching it together. I was surprised that my mom enjoyed Manifest since it was part sci-fi, part fantasy, part government conspiracy, but I believe the smart acting/casting and clever story captured her attention just like it did mine. Although the character of Karen Stone […]

There are specific actors whom I’ve had the pleasure of supporting almost from the beginning, and from the moment Preston Vanderslice appeared on Hallmark, I was there. I’ve seen this successful, gifted young man take on more significant roles with Hallmark over the past few years, and I can hardly believe this is our fourth interview! In anticipation of his […]

This past summer, I was introduced to a new Hallmark star, Kelly Kruger, because of the wonderful film, From Friend to Fiance, starring Ryan Paevey and Jocelyn Hudon. I am not a soap opera fan, so this movie was my introduction to Kelly’s talent. And then I discovered she was in an upcoming Christmas movie, A Very Corgi Christmas, with my […]

Today I have the honor of interviewing Net of the popular blog, It’s A Wonderful Movie. I don’t remember exactly when or where I first discovered her, but it was around the time I started watching Cedar Cove on the Hallmark Channel. I remember conducting searches and invariably finding that her blog had the best information about what content was […]

I have never hidden the fact that I treasure the show Chesapeake Shores for many reasons, and Carlo Marks happens to be one of those highly distinctive reasons. While he has only been seen a couple of times on the network outside of that show, it is always a delectable treat to witness his on-screen prowess as a leading man. […]

Last year, I noticed an actor on the Hallmark network who was actually featured in two Christmas movies last year, Christmas For the Books and Christmas At Grand Valley. This caused me to do some research and come to the realization that Chad Connell had been a part of the Hallmark network for quite some time. I reached out for an […]

I am ecstatic when Hallmark introduces me to actors out there to whom I may not have paid attention previously, and tonight’s premiere of A Cheerful Christmas has done exactly that. Erica Deutschman is someone I have noticed just this year, but I was unaware of her illustrious career and her undeniable talents. Thankfully, Hallmark elected to feature her in her […]

To be quite candid, I have Facebook to thank for my “discovery” of Jeff Beesley and his 2019 record Christmas directorial work. As I was going through my updates a couple of months ago, Facebook suggested Jeff as a friend, and when I researched who he was, I thought, “Okay, he’s a Hallmark person, so we can be friends.” I […]

During the heyday of the Garage Sale Mysteries series on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries network, I came in contact with screenwriter Kraig Wenman, definitely one of the most prolific of Hallmark’s mystery writer’s, at least, in my opinion. Thankfully, even after the unexpected discontinuation of this popular mystery series, Hallmark was able to find even more amazing mystery series (and […]
