There was a point in my life not so long ago when I struggled to separate an actor from the role he played. In fact, I can remember intimating to my mother that I didn’t like the character “Will” in Cedar Cove, and I wasn’t sure if I liked the actor who played him either. In fact, when I found out […]

Being the Cedar Cove aficionado that I was, whenever a new cast member joined the season, especially in the third and final series, I paid very careful attention to the name of the actor or actress and made certain to investigate their history of credits. In the case of Tara Wilson, who gave life to Gloria in that final season, I was […]

It seems like everywhere I turn, I continue to find When Calls the Heart connections, and that is especially true in the caliber of young stars I have been interviewing recently. Remembered fondly as Albert Bickley by the devoted Hearties, Sean Kyer is truly making an explosive splash in the entertainment world. Not too long ago, I had the honor of chatting […]

FOR AN EVEN MORE UP-TO-DATE INTERVIEW WITH BRENNAN, PLEASE CLICK HERE! Anyone who knows me is aware of the fact that I like to be prepared when at all possible. I plan ahead for everything and anything that may or may not go wrong. In recent years, I have learned to be much more flexible (I’m a substitute teacher, after all–talk about […]

Because I am a devoted fan of the shows and films that appear on the Hallmark network (and I adore the mystery franchise, especially), I remember seeing a young man step into the role of Logan, the son of Jennifer (Lori Loughlin) and Jason (Steve Bacic), and I couldn’t place why he looked so familiar. My Hearties friends quickly filled […]

Since I am a mystery enthusiast as well as a major Brennan Elliott fanatic, when the first Flower Shop Mystery film premiered, I quickly became acquainted with as many of the cast as possible. And that meant connecting with the handsome guy who played Dave King, the other lawyer who had an unrequited love interest in Abby. Regardless, Christian Lloyd portrayed him flawlessly, […]

While I have been a When Calls the Heart fan from Day One, I sometimes lose track of the actors who were a part of the cast in seasons one and two. Thankfully, I am connected with a superb network of Hearties who keep me abreast of such things, and recently, that is exactly what happened. Katelyn Mager, the actress who is fondly […]

If you’re anything like me, there’s a sense of accomplishment that comes when you work tenaciously to bring something about, and once you have achieved what many may have doubted, you can just sit back and smile. And that is exactly how I feel about my interview with Cameron Mathison. From the moment I first requested the interview to the moment it […]

About three years ago, a show arrived on the Hallmark Channel that changed my life forever. I had no idea at that point how it would ultimately impact my life, but there was something about Cedar Cove that I liked. At first, it wasn’t even my favorite show, but I remember noticing the sweet Peggy Beldon and loving her instantly. It […]

For me, the storyline of a film has always been paramount as to whether I will like the film or not. It can have the best actors in the world and be filled to overflowing with special effects, but if it doesn’t have an engaging story, I lose interest pretty rapidly. With Hallmark, storylines are predictable but solid and sometimes […]
