In truth, there are particular supporting actors who are perpetually a joy to view on screen, and Toby Levins happens to be one of them. I have had the honor of interviewing him three times now, and in this third offering, well, I believe I can safely state that he has decidedly matured as an actor, but thankfully he has […]

When Cedar Cove was in its second season on the Hallmark Channel, an actor appeared as a love interest for Justine, and initially, I was rather against this character played by the robust and handsome Jesse Hutch. Around the same time, I saw him in Let It Snow with Candace Cameron-Bure, and I enjoyed his performance opposite her. However, I didn’t immediately make […]

Last year, shortly after the conclusion of Chesapeake Shores season one, I had the opportunity to interview Karen Kruper whom I knew then as Trace’s (Jesse Metcalfe) mother on that popular Hallmark series. Karen and I instantly connected as a result of that chat, and we have been immensely supportive of each other since that time. Recently, Karen and I had […]

After the premiere of The Christmas Cure during the Hallmark Channel’s annual “Christmas in July” programming, I contacted a few of the actors who were involved with the film. Steve Byers is the male lead for this delightful offering, and now that Christmas is upon us yet again and this film is currently getting plenty of air time, I am honored to […]

This past July, when the Hallmark Channel premiered a Christmas film entitled The Christmas Cure (written by Marcy Holland), I took a keen interest in the secondary romance depicted in this film. While I adored the leads (and who couldn’t be enamored with Patrick Duffy?), I tend to have an uncanny affinity for the supporting characters. I chatted with Dale this […]

I’m not gonna lie. One of the things I adore about the Hallmark network is that they regularly employ the most talented kids, and very often, those children’s work on Hallmark is amongst their first credits and regularly leads to a plethora of more opportunities. Therefore, when I watched Christmas In the Air a couple weeks ago, I was overjoyed to […]

Those who genuinely know me are well aware of the fact that I am possibly one of the most persistent people on this planet. In fact, I am one who if someone announces that it’s time to go forward and abdicate, guess what…I just can’t! It is one of the most grievous things on the planet for me to accept […]

I remember reading about A Bramble House Christmas becoming a Hallmark Christmas movie, and at the time, I was so excited for the author, C.J. Carmichael. I knew nothing of her nor her works, but the premise and the title just seemed like a perfect fit with this beloved network. Later, when I discovered that David Haydn-Jones and Autumn Reeser were […]

Yet another Countdown to Christmas movie is headed our way November 19th, and it is entitled A Gift To Remember. It has become a popular trend for Hallmark to find quality books already in print and adapt them for their network, and that is exactly what happened with this particular film. I was honored to be able to conduct a quick […]

Back when The Irresistible Blueberry Farm premiered on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, I had the opportunity to chat and connect with the amazing actress, Rebecca Staab. I was never a soap opera fan, so I was unaware of her considerable and tremendous body of work, but she and I had an instant rapport. When I discovered she was going to appear […]
