I truly adore the fact that Hallmark has been branching out over the past couple of years as they have made a conscious effort to film movies in various places all over the U.S. and the world. Back during the network’s “Countdown To Summer” programming, a movie that was filmed in Florida happened to make the cut, and audiences were […]

The year was 2016, and I was reviewing a Hallmark movie right before it premiered on the network (that’s what I used to do before all these interview opportunities came along). Enter tall, dark, and handsome Benjamin Ayres, and I somehow knew Hallmark had struck gold. By the time he appeared on Hallmark again, I was an established entertainment journalist. […]

In the past, I have been playfully accused of “stalking” certain actors who are regularly featured on the Hallmark Network, and it should come as no surprise that Brennan Elliott is one of those extraordinarily special people. While he is undoubtedly one of my all-time favorite people on this planet and I am often rather cognizant of his upcoming and […]

I honestly don’t remember when or where I first became aware of the delightfully enchanting Anne Marie DeLuise, but I know it is because of Hallmark that I first encountered her (and her husband’s) prowess. For some time, I have watched her works with interest, and whenever her husband, Peter DeLuise, directs a movie or a show, I know that […]

When it comes to Hallmark, there are certain names that consistently promise and provide phenomenal programming, and director David Winning happens to be one of those exceptional people. A couple of years ago, I had the opportunity to feature him on my website in our first interview, and thankfully, he agreed to come back in anticipation of tonight’s {August 17th} […]

I initially discovered the phenomenon that is Erin Krakow as a result of the original Hallmark Channel series, When Calls the Heart. While it took me a little while to truly embrace everything that her character, Elizabeth Thatcher Thornton, had to offer, I was an instant Erin fan from the inception of the series. No one else could create such […]

Perhaps you had the opportunity this summer to watch the original Hallmark movie entitled Paris, Wine & Romance which starred Jen Lilley and Dan Jeannotte. If you did, then you may remember her uncle in the movie as played by Greg Canestrari. Recently, I reached out to him for an interview, and I am very happy to share him and his […]

A couple of years ago, I had the honor of highlighting Jason McKinnon in an interview here on my site. At that time, Hallmark fans knew him mainly as the “bad guy” in a few of the network’s movies and even the popular When Calls the Heart show. Jason has continued to portray a wide variety of characters across a […]

I recognize and respect the fact that Hallmark’s movie In the Key of Love has had a rather circuitous history, even before being officially released to the viewers. However, I am more than thrilled to see that it is going to be released to Hallmark Movies Now this Sunday, August 11th! One of the stars of the movie, Thomas Cadrot, is […]

Probably just about everyone is well aware of my passion and affinity for Hallmark’s original show When Calls the Heart. Back during season three, a young actress emerged and portrayed the part of Wilma Lawson, and I never forgot her. I figured we wouldn’t see her again, but her character came back more significantly in season five and even season […]
