Reeser & Walker Are Fan Favorites

Autumn Reeser and Andrew Walker are Hallmark veterans, and when either of them star in a movie, you know it will be a good one.

Reeser plays Lauren Garrett, a business woman known for her podcast on hacks to be more efficient so you can have more time during the day to do what you enjoy. Problem is, she doesn't follow her own advice. Lauren works long hours and is driven by success. When she meets her favorite business icon, Barbara Davrow, Lauren is elated at the prospect of landing a spot on Davrow's speaking tour. Brenda, however, quickly assesses that all work and no play will be Lauren's downfall and suggests she first learn to bring balance into her life.

Walker is Jack West, who, along with his mom and sister, runs Meadowlawn Retreat--a place where guests relax in nature and aren't allowed to have any phones or gadgets during their stay. Jack wants to fulfill his father's dream of expanding the retreat, but financing becomes a problem.

As Lauren and Jack spend time together, he teaches her how to relax, and she inspires him to follow his own dreams instead of his father's.

Is Hallmark Running the Strong Women Theme into the Ground?

When Wonya Lucas took the reins as CEO of Crown Media, she made clear one of her goals would be to create roles that empower women. One might even think Lucas's alter ego is Brenda Crichlow, since Crichlow is a black woman who never plays anything less than a top executive or brand owner in every single Hallmark movie.

Wonya Lucas is responsible for polluting Hallmark movies with "woke" elements. Thankfully, she resigned in 2023 but still remains on the Board.

Brenda Crichlow always stars as a powerful woman in Hallmark movies.

If women want to run their own businesses and be independent, good for them. Many of us, however, still like the old-fashioned notion of being swept off our feet and taken care of by Prince Charming.

It seems Hallmark has tipped the scales way out of balance. Not every woman in the world wants to be a militant feminist set on corporate domination. Where are the roles that celebrate women with traditional values?

Lacey Chabert Compromises Her Faith in Hallmark's "Groundswell"

Image: Crown Media Lacey Chabert Is a Hallmark A-Lister Before Candace Cameron Bure left Hallmark for Great American Family, fans would good-naturedly spar over who should be crowned the network's Queen of Christmas --Bure or Lacey Chabert. Starring in more leading roles on Hallmark than other actresses, both ladies seemed to retain a firm reign over the network, evidenced by their massive viewing audience. All fans have their favorite Chabert movie, but there's no denying that A Christmas Waltz was the number one most watched original movie premiere in 2020, and in 2022, The Wedding Veil broke Hallmark viewing records by drawing in more than 3.3 million live viewers. In fact, The Wedding Veil outperformed all of Hallmark's 2021 movies, proving Chabert's popularity shows no sign of waning. Surprisingly, as many familiar faces left Hallmark for Great American Family, like Jen Lilley and CCB, Chabert not only stayed with Hallmark, but she also signed a 2-year deal ...

Did You Notice THIS Change In Hallmark's "Raise a Glass to Love?"

Starring: Laura Osnes and Juan Pablo di Pace Released: 2021 (Fall Harvest) Summary: An aspiring Master Sommelier returns to her family vineyard to study and is intrigued by the natural methods of the handsome new Argentinian winemaker. Magic happens when Hallmark actually uses talented actors instead of inexperienced "newbies." Jenna's Boyfriend, Aidan, Isn't A Weiner When a female lead already has a boyfriend before she meets her true love, Hallmark traditionally casts the secondary male character as a bit of a jerk, someone homely, or a puny fella so viewers won't get attached to him and be upset when he's kicked to the curb. A recent example is Callie's ex-boyfriend, Joe, in Roadhouse Romance . Played by Adil Zaidi, no one is heartbroken when Callie decides against rekindling her romance with high school sweetheart, Joe. In a refreshing change-up, Raise a Glass to Love pairs Jenna Savern (Laura Osnes) with Aidan Parker (Matthew James Dowden). Aida...

The Wedding Veil Plot Summary The Wedding Veil is the first installment of a new trilogy that follows three longtime college friends who discover a mysterious, antique veil fabled to unite its bearer with her true love.

Starring : Lacey Chabert, Kevin McGarry, Autumn Reeser, and Alison Sweeney Lacey always makes a beautiful bride! Image: Crown Media The Wedding Veil Is Inspired by Lori Wilde's Book Churning out tons of new movies each year takes a toll on Hallmark's creativity. How many plots can be about a writer, and is it common for so many people to suffer from amnesia? Recycled stories grow wearisome, but when Hallmark taps authors outside their own bubble, fans benefit from fun, light-hearted romances that are refreshingly unique. The Wedding Veil is inspired by the book, There Go...

Hallmark's "The Color of Rain" the True Story of Gina Kell and Michael Spehn

Starring: Lacey Chabert and Warren Christie Released: 2014 Summary: While consoling each other over the recent loss of their spouses, a man and a woman grow close and fall in love. Image: Crown Media, United States LLC Gina Kell and Michael Spehn Find Love Despite Tragedy You've seen the movie, so you know the plot, but did you catch that it's based on a real-life story? Gina Kell's husband died on Christmas Day, 2005, from a rare and incurable cancer, leiomyocarcoma, which he battled for three years. Weeks later, Cathy Spehn died seventeen days after learning her painful headaches were a result of a brain cancer called glioblastoma multiforme. It's no wonder the two gravitated toward one another. It's like parenting--people who have never had children can't really grasp what life with kids is truly like on a daily basis. Similarly, your heart can hurt for someone who has lost their spouse, but you can't relate to them on deeper le...
