Even though Jill Wagner is still relatively new to the Hallmark network, she is undoubtedly one of the perennial favorites who appears to embody the principles and perspectives of this family-friendly network while radiating a classic persona that resonates with the fans no matter their background, race, or creed. Jill made an instant splash with this network when she first […]

In the Hallmark universe, actors come and go at various times for numerous reasons, but there are those with genuine staying power who consistently partner with the network to entertain the viewers with whatever is necessary at the time. Actors who invariably provide the most extraordinary of dramatic heights or witty, whimsical comedic scenes are the ones with whom Hallmark […]

Without a doubt, one of the perennial beloved Hallmark actresses has to be the vivacious, gifted, and vibrant Rachel Boston. Her Hallmark career has included an extensive variety of fan favorites, and the powerful way in which she chooses to live her life and conduct herself appears to be in keeping with the network’s values and perspectives. Her positivity and […]

Back during the third season of the popular show Cedar Cove, which was shown exclusively on the Hallmark Channel, I did my best to notice every actor in the cast from the leads to the supporting cast to the guest stars. This is when I first noticed Shaughnessy Redden. I continued to follow his career over the years, but it […]

Before the very first original Hallmark Christmas Book arrived in print, I had the supreme opportunity of interviewing Alys Murray. At that time, we had no idea just how successful The Christmas Company would become. And now, Alys is back with a new book. Even though it is not Hallmark-friendly, I think many of her readers will enjoy this fun, summer read […]

I have consistently declared my fondness for the Hallmark Network and their signature loyalty to the supporting cast of their myriad of films. When it comes to making the decisions about whom I should interview next, timing is of the essence. Sometimes, however,  Hallmark almost makes that determination for me when they continue to feature supporting cast members in one […]

Have you ever been watching a show, and you exclaim, “Wait a minute! That person looks familiar! Where do I know them from?” My mom does this to me regularly, and being the sleuth that I am, I adore going on the hunt for the name of the supporting cast member whether she instigates it or someone else does. In […]

As a proponent of family-friendly entertainment, I am always willing to promote quality content and industry professionals regardless of the network on which the work is featured. Even though Hallmark is where my heart lies most of the time, I do appreciate the way other networks have begun to produce movies that sometimes rival what can be seen on the […]

From the moment Rebecca Jennings stepped into the Cedar Cove saga in Hallmark’s first original series way back in season one, I was mesmerized by the woman who so brilliantly portrayed her, Cindy Busby. I wasn’t too certain about her character in that show, especially in the beginning, but there was a charismatic quality and essence about Cindy whenever she […]

Last year, I had the amazing opportunity of interviewing one of the most prolific of the “other guy” actors, Lane Edwards. He has been such an integral part of favorite Hallmark movies from The Perfect Bride 2 to Maggie’s Christmas Miracle to The Sweetest Christmas. But all too often, he is the one who got away (and good riddance that he did) […]
