It is so funny, I read the Hannah Swenson books for as long as I could stomach them. They have become all recipes and cooking and very little mystery, plot, or character development. I really like that the Hallmark series went in a different direction and the focus is on the mystery instead of what they had to whip up to feed everyone for dinner.

Good recommendation.

The series starts out as Murder She Baked, and later switches to the Hannah Swenson Mysteries. Unless Hallmark has renamed the whole series.

That's a shame to ruin a good mystery series and turn it into only recipes.

I read the whole series and loved it. I do think that a bit more mystery would have been nice. Personally what tired me was the do I like Norman or Mike? No real relationship with either. Just pick a side and add some spice to the books.

I read up until the last few. I read the one directly after Hannah married a third option , and then decided I couldn't hack another "Everyone is coming for dinner, what shall we do? Michelle just tried this great new recipe and I know we should make it with the way Mike eats."

Upcoming News:

After The Way Home series ends, another new Hallmark original series will start in the same time slot. It is called Ride and is centered on a rodeo dynasty. It stars Nancy Travis as a strong female lead.

Normally, When Calls the Heart airs around that time of year. But, it had been pushed off for this new series, and the future of When Calls was uncertain since the last season ended.

The Season 10 premiere date has finally been revealed: Sunday, July 30 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. With the 12 episodes set to air this summer the show will hit its 100th episode milestone.

AND Erin Krakow revealed that the show has already been renewed for season 11. The 12 episodes will start filming this July.

Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp will reunite for a third time for a Hallmark mystery centered on ballroom dancing.

It is called The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango for Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. It recently began filming on location in Malta.

According to ETonline.com:

"The new Hallmark mystery, which will premiere later this year, is set in the competitive world of ballroom dance and is based on a story and characters created and developed by Kemp and Aubrey Day. Both Chabert and Kemp also serve as executive producers.​

​

The Dancing Detective: A Deadly Tango follows Constance Bailey (Chabert), a no-nonsense detective who prefers to work alone. When a high-profile CEO is murdered on the eve of his company’s corporate event in Malta -- a high-stakes ballroom competition between senior executives -- Detective Bailey is sent undercover as one of the contestants. The only problem? She can’t dance. To convincingly compete, she must team up with charismatic and free-spirited performer Sebastian Moore (Kemp). But with a killer on the loose and a growing list of suspects, it’s going to take more than a little fancy footwork to solve this case.​

​

“After the success of Christmas Waltz, viewers have been clamoring for another movie with this charismatic duo. When Will came to us with this fun spin on a whodunnit, we knew that it was the perfect opportunity to reunite him with Lacey,” said Elizabeth Yost, Senior Vice President of Programming and Development at Hallmark Media in a statement."​

Lori Loughlin's new movie that she made for Great American Family, Fall Into Winter (which premiered January 28, 2023) is below. It's missing the beginning credits. Watch it soon as it won't last long on YouTube.

She is also making a Christmas movie for GA Family for next Christmas.

Lori was in the middle of filming one more Garage Sale Mysteries when she was arrested. Hallmark subsequently fired her and the movie was never finished, even though she had only one more week of filming left to do. The rumor is it is doubtful they will ever finish and show that last movie since the new Hallmark CEO likes to cancel all the old series, yet simultaneously re-airing them all into infinity.

Made for Each Other
Re-airs: Thur 3/02 at 8pm ET
Sun 3/05 at 1pm ET

Starring: Alexandra Turshen, Matt Cohen, Aaron O'Connell
Description: A sculptor, Rachel, wishes to find the ideal man for herself and introduce him to her parents, but she has yet to find someone like that. Thanks to a centuries-old amulet, she creates the man of her dreams out of clay and brings him to life.

Yet, as Rachel starts spending time with her real-life friend David, she falls for him. Soon, Rachel learns to appreciate the flaws that make love perfectly imperfect.

I watched Made for Each Other. It's a cute, funny movie. I thought it was going to be a rather serious magical/supernatural movie. Instead it was lighthearted and didn't take itself too seriously. All the main characters were really funny at times. I recommend watching it.

I agree. I had some trepidation when this started, but I really enjoyed it. I thought the character development was great, and it was so fun to see Teryl Rothery!

Yes! It was great to see her be an annoying, overbearing mother and really go for it, instead of pulling back and be some gentle "Hallmark mother" stereotype that is always pleasant and doesn't create ruffles.

Happy news for those that love The Way Home.

It has been renewed for a Season 2.

Since it's premiere, it's ratings have regularly topping Bravo’s Real Housewives of Potomac, TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way, and HGTV’s Home Town on Sunday nights. It ranks as the No. 1 most-watched program on Sundays among certain household demographics, and second most-watched program overall in some other ratings. (They used abbreviations I don't understand. )

Reminder: for tonight, Saturday

The Love Club is actually an original movie series that premiered on Hallmark's streaming platform: Hallmark Movies Now, in February.

Tonight is the first of the four movies, Nicole's Pen Pal. Not sure when they will show the other movies. They will probably space them out as the series didn't get very high ratings or reviews on the IMDb .com. Overall, the series received only a mediocre 6.0. (The general rating scale for Hallmark movies on the IMDb seems to be 5.4 being a dismal low of barely watchable, to 7.6 - 8.0 being a must watch over and over favorite movie.)

The Love Club: Nicole's Pen Pal is on at 8pm ET on the Hallmark Channel
Starring: Brittany Bristow and Marcus Rosner.
Description: Freshly engaged Nicole is having second thoughts as she wonders if the one she's really meant to be with is her mystery college pen pal whose letters she has kept all these years.

At a loss of what to do, she seeks out assistance from The Love Club – four women who met 10 years prior and made a vow to always be there for one another should any of them encounter relationship challenges at any point in their lives. Nicole and the ladies of The Love Club reunite and set out to track down Nicole’s pen pal.

I'm watching Sweeter than Chocolate and I'm enjoying it.
On a funny note, I recognized the actress (Brenda Strong) who plays the mother, but I couldn't remember from where. A quick Google and I had the answer.
She was Sue Ellen Mischke on Seinfeld.

DVRed it and watched it! I really really liked it!! I always loved Eloise Mumford and now I have seen a few movies with the guy and I like him too! They were cute together... sigh I need a little romance in my life.

I finally saw Sweeter Than Chocolate. I liked it too. A very sweet movie. No pun intended. These chocolate movies always give me cravings for chocolate while watching the movie. Glad I usually have some around.
