Last year, my unswerving persistence landed me an unbelievable interview with the magnificent Kavan Smith, and a couple of months ago, I had the supreme pleasure of meeting both him and Pascale Hutton at the Hearties Family Reunion (HFR3). While there, I mentioned to him how popular last year’s interview still was, and he suggested that we do another interview […]

If you have been watching Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas programming like I have, you may have seen the fun and enchanting Christmas At Holly Lodge. The stellar cast, writing, direction, production and so much more made this a highly-anticipated film, and if you paid careful attention at the very end, maybe you noticed a certain character who made a special surprise call […]

The way I “discovered” the young actor, Callum Seagram Airlie, is rather intriguing. I was rewatching Finding Father Christmas this holiday season, and I looked up the young man who played Mark. It was then that I remembered him from When Calls the Heart and a few other Hallmark productions I had seen. However, when I reached out for an interview, I […]

I was an original Cedar Cove fan, and the actors from that show will forever hold a distinctive place in my heart. Some of them have become very dear friends, and when it comes to Teryl Rothery, she and I have truly had the chance to connect in a rather special way as women, moms, and creative souls. Last year, I […]

Sometimes when I watch a new movie, an actor’s name and face provoke a memory, but I cannot place the person until I do some research, and that is exactly what happened with Greyston Holt. I knew I had seen him in at least one or two movies prior to A Very Country Christmas which premiered on Up earlier this holiday […]

Being the journalist that I am, I consistently watch for fresh talent, especially in Hallmark movies and shows, and my heart is perpetually attracted to the children. When I was watching The Sweetest Christmas with Lacey Chabert, I noticed that Ava Grace Cooper was tweeting about a new friend she met on set, Sophia Reid-Gantzert. Almost immediately, I contacted Sophia’s dad, […]

I honestly don’t recall how I connected initially with Angela Asher, but I began noticing her name pop up in my Facebook feed, and I decided to look her up. Once I investigated her impressive list of credits, I realized I had seen her in a few things, but she has been a part of practically every genre throughout her […]

The year 2017 marks the time my daughter and I had the opportunity to meet Nicole Oliver in person at the Everfree Northwest convention, and it is an experience we will always remember as Nicole played host for those few moments to not only my daughter and me, but my daughter’s brood of friends as well. I recall how exhausted […]

The Christmas films that Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas is producing this year have been some of the foremost ones ever to come from this beloved network, at least, in my opinion. And if ratings can report the story, I doubt I am alone in my approximation. One film continues to create an abundance of buzz amongst the viewers–Miss Christmas. There […]

In this year’s array of Hallmark Christmas movies, I kept my eyes peeled for known and unknown faces, and it just so happens, Darlene Cooke was one of those “unfamiliar” faces. I noticed her in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries production of A Song For Christmas, and as I researched her credits, I discovered she had appeared on the inaugural episode […]
