Then, second in from the right is a button that looks like an eye with a slash through it. Click on that. A box pops up to enter the Spoiler name. (But it will say Spoiler anyway.) After you click Continue, this code will appear. You have to place your Spoiler text between the two codes:

[ SPOILER]Insert spoiler here.[ /SPOILER]


Of course, simply warning us that there is a Spoiler ahead always works, if that's too complicated. Thanks!

Okay....this is driving me nuts!

What is with this so-called "style" where the women tuck in only the front of their top? It looks ridiculous.

It's called the French Tuck after fashion stylist, Tan France from Queer Eye. He popularized it here. It isn't even French.

I am all in and loving the Jane Austen theme for Loveuary!

What a great way to grow your audience beyond the Christmas movies.
And by that I mean there are people who love Jane Austen who will tune in and decide Hallmark movies just might be enjoyable year round

Totally agree! (I had a little fun with a meme generator)

Hallmark Media has a new CEO now. Not sure when she took over, but she was already at Hallmark in a lesser position. So she may have been around to weigh in on these movies that were filmed earlier. If this is one of her new ideas, I like it, so far.

Thanks. I was looking but couldn't find it. I will try it next time. I swear, these groups on facebook keep spreadsheets. I miss probably 80% of what they see.

Reminder for Sunday:

The Way Home: Season 2, episode 3 is on the Hallmark Channel at 9pm ET.

Gilded Newport Mysteries, Murder at the Breakers (Episode 1) re-airs on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries at 7pm ET

Once I catch up with all the episodes I will probably over there reading all the theories.

I caught Murder at the Breakers last night and enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the next episode, but I couldn't find when or what it is. I've almost finished all my Saturday chores so I can watch the first Darcy movie tonight.

I'm thinking maybe they will do one a month? Who knows? Hallmark Movies & Mysteries is treated so weirdly, like it's Hallmark's red-headed stepchild. Sometimes they show a few new movies in one month, then only one new movie in another. And at Christmas time, they show less new Christmas movies each year.

I watched last night's Jane Austin movie and thought it was pretty entertaining. Many of you may remember that Will Kemp is not my favorite but all in all, I liked the movie. One cute point in the movie is that the main character's sister is sobbing over a breakup and watching a love story in the hotel and the movie was the first Cindy Busby/Ryan Paevey movie called "Unleashing Mr. Darcy". Thought that was a clever nod to the JA theme.

Looking forward to next week's JA movie with Alison Sweeney.

Glad to hear this movie is getting a good review.

Unleashing Mr. Darcy is the only Cindy Busby movie I like.

I watched Paging Mr. Darcy and enjoyed it.
I thought it was well done, and a great kickoff to Loveuary.

And I appreciated a cameo, I’m sure you all will, too

 

[CGB]

Paging Mr. Darcy was great! I thought the chemistry between the two leads was easy and engaging. It definitely had a Pride & Prejudice lean to the script. Loved the sister's scenes... that actress totally stole those moments. So "Lydia" of her! There's also another easter egg on the golf course with Benjamin Ayres. He's the next lead for Love & Jane next week. I wonder if they "planted" him as a teaser for the next week? Probably not, but it's fun to think they might have set it up.
