I am always pleased to welcome a director to the Hallmark network by highlighting them in an informative interview, and because of my friendship with Giles and Jocelyn Panton, I discovered that Richard Gabai had come on board to direct his first Hallmark Channel movie, A Gingerbread Romance. Thankfully, he was agreeable to being featured in a brief article, and as […]

I realize that I am consistently on the hunt for new Hallmark actors, and with thirty-eight new Christmas movies just this season, you can imagine that I have come in contact with a wide variety of talented, intriguing people in the industry. A Gingerbread Romance, which will premiere on the Hallmark Channel on December 16th, is brimming with a rather […]

I’ve been following the career of Giles Panton for several years now, but it took me some time to realize that he and Jocelyn Panton were married. Part of that was due to a change in her last name (you will notice her professional name used to be Jocelyn Ott), and the other part is that I’m really slow on […]

I don’t remember when I first noticed Matt Hamilton, but I’m sure it was a Hallmark movie that brought him to my attention. Since his appearance in one of the Gourmet Detective films, I have been closely following his career. In recent times, his significant works have been steadily increasing, and this season, we have the opportunity to see him in […]

Ever since Unleashing Mr. Darcy came to the Hallmark Channel for the first time, I have been a huge fan of Teri Wilson. With the fourth movie connected with her books and characters premiering on the Hallmark network tonight (December 15th, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries), I am honored to be able to feature her yet again on my site. RH: […]

Some time ago, I discovered the screenwriter, Carley Smale, due to her substantial work with the Hallmark Network. Back then, we discussed how she began her career and included some of her early works in our conversation. However, over the past couple of years, Carley has become a prolific writer of Lifetime Christmas movies, and there is no doubt about […]

There is a standing joke amongst those who regularly follow my interviews. Invariably, I will interview the murderer from one of Hallmark’s mystery movies, and although that wasn’t necessarily the case the last time I interviewed Preston Vanderslice, it wasn’t too long after that when he emerged as the unassuming nemesis bent on destroying Lori Loughlin’s character once and for all […]

Last year, I had the supreme honor of becoming acquainted with one of the loveliest ladies in the world (and I don’t say that glibly). Making authentic connections with women is a skill I have had to acquire over the course of my life, but women like Lindsay Maxwell make my task very easy. From the first moment Lindsay and […]

Sometimes as I scroll through Instagram, a certain picture will catch my eye, and upon further investigation, I discover an industry professional whose name I do not recognize. This is exactly how I was introduced to Jovanna Burke, and upon further investigation, I realized I had seen her in more than one Hallmark movie. Moreover, she was scheduled to appear […]

I have come to anticipate exceptional things from every year’s Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, especially the ones that appear at Christmastime. And this year, Christmas Everlasting was no exception to that rule. Christmas Everlasting was based on Marie Bostwick’s novel, The Second Sister, and recently, I had the opportunity to interview this best-selling author about her career, including this phenomenal experience […]
