So he heads back to his hometown and is pumped to bump into Grace. The sparks are flying. The mayor comes by Grace's office to see if she'd be willing to talk to Ryan and convince him to do the fundraiser. If she does this for her, she'll move to the top of the list of potential decorators to decorate the town next year. Grace's bff Melanie is pumped about this because they're both single and ready to mingle. Quinn goes to the St. Nicholas House to talk to Ryan to try to find out about what his plans are for the house since Quinn is a real estate agent and he has a very interested buyer. Ryan says if he decides to sell, he'll call him first. As Quinn goes to leave, Grace shows up. Ryan asks Grace if there's something going on with her and Quinn. She's like oh it's nothing, we just hang out sometimes. She convinces him to move forward with the fundraiser and that she'll do all the heavy lifting! Maggie starts hanging up mistletoe around town to help make sure that Ryan and Grace get together. They start hanging out a ton.

But he surprises her by finding one! But Quinn ruins everything by telling Grace about his plans to buy the St. Nicholas House. He decides ultimately he's not going to sell. The party happens. And they end up kissing under the mistletoe. Watch the show on Youtube - www.deckthehallmark.com/youtubeInterested in advertising on the show?

She shares the story of her second pregnancy, only to discover at a routine five-month checkup that her baby no longer had a heartbeat. This conversation explores the intersection of faith and medical trauma, highlighting Naomi's deep-rooted bitachon (faith) that continues to carry her through life-changing moments.

This week on Do You Watch What I Watch?, we're reviewing Hallmark Channel's Double Holiday.The ingredients seemed promising: a Christmas celebration, Hanukkah traditions, workplace competition, and Kristoffer Polaha. But despite some strong performances and a story with plenty of potential, this one never fully came together for us.Join Josh and Jennifer as they recap the movie, share the moments that worked, unpack the ones that didn't, and decide whether Double Holiday earns Gold or Coal.As always, we're keeping it kind, keeping it fun, and looking for the good — even when a movie doesn't quite make our nice list.

Her agent opened the call like she'd lost the part. She screamed loud enough to wake her entire block when she found out the truth. This is that interview, and it only gets better from there.What you'll hear in this episode:•       How Bianca's agent faked her out on the Fern casting call, and exactly what her reaction sounded like to her neighbors•       Dan Jeanotte's theory that Cliff on The Way Home and every other cop he's played are actually the same person (the Hallmark Cinematic Universe is real, apparently)•       The full story behind episode 9's catacombs scene, how Dan prepared for it, and why Bianca was in tears at the wrap party seeing his performance for the first time•       What was actually going through Fern's mind during the explosion, and why that moment is a turning point for who she is•       Bianca's cover of Tainted Love on The Way Home's Apple Music playlist and why it's the emotional hinge of Fern's entire arc this season•       Dan's reggae version of Tainted Love that did NOT make the final cut, and the less said the better•       What it felt like to join a well-established cast in season 4 and how the entire Way Home family across all three eras pulled them inChapters0:00 - Welcome2:30 - Bianca's Casting Call Fake-Out: The Screaming Story5:30 - Breaking Down Episode 9's Catacombs Scene8:30 - Fern, the Explosion, and Everything About to Change11:00 - Tainted Love, the Soundtrack, and Dan's Reggae Cut13:00 - What It Means to Join The Way Home Family in Season 414:30 - Eric Refuses to Watch Episode 10 (Yet)Did you make it through the catacombs scene without anxiety?

The Way Home Episode 9 ends with a tunnel explosion, a gunshot, and two actors delivering some of the best silent acting this show has ever put on screen. We watched it multiple times. We cried multiple times. And we still have questions.We cover everything in this one: the fan mail that perfectly sums up how confusing The Way Home has gotten, the Fern-Katherine reunion that wrecked Andrea, Griffin earning a possible spot as the worst character in the show's history, and the ending that had us texting each other in all caps. We also get into the fan theories going around right now about what The Way Home actually is, whether it's a coma dream, a book, or something far weirder. And we make the case that Kat has had more chemistry with Suzanna and Thomas than she's ever had with Elliot. We stand by it.One episode left. Two hours. Here's where we are.What you'll hear in this episode:•       The fan mail from Albuquerque asking where to even begin making sense of The Way Home, and our actual suggestions•       Why Andrea cried watching Episode 9 multiple times, including during the Fern and Katherine reunion•       Griffin taking Alice's picture in the woods, and why we think he might be the single worst character this show has produced•       The tunnel explosion ending broken down: Dan's jaw-dropping acting, whether Elliot's mom shot him on purpose, and what the Augustine brothers situation means for who actually survives•       The moment the pond rules felt like they got quietly bent, and why it bugged us•       Fan theories making the rounds on Reddit and Instagram: coma dream, Cat writing a book, Alice in Wonderland hallucination•       Every question that still needs an answer heading into the two-hour finale: Griffin's whereabouts, 11:11, who's getting married, where Jacob jumpsChapters0:00 - Fan Mail: "I Find The Way Home Confusing as Hell"4:00 - Episode 9 Overview: New Year's Eve 19258:00 - The Moment That Made Andrea Cry Multiple Times12:30 - Griffin, Danny, and the Letters: Who's the Worst Person Here?17:00 - That Tunnel Explosion Ending21:00 - What Didn't Work: Evelyn, Pond Rules, and Alice in the Bushes25:30 - Fan Theories: Is The Way Home Just a Dream?29:00 - Every Question We Need Answered in the Finale33:15 - See You at the FinaleDid you actually think Kat and Elliot had chemistry this whole time, or have you always felt it was a little flat?

Did Elliot just invite his mother to her own death? We think he might have, and that parallel with Kat is not a coincidence. We're breaking down everything in S4 E8 of The Way Home, including the Sam bombshell at dinner, the tarot card the show quietly got wrong, why Evelyn's isolation has been foreshadowed since Season 3, and the Jacob and Abby "I love you" moment that was very, very Hallmark.What you'll see in this episode:•       Why Kat and Elliot are practically the same person, and why that makes them both terrifying with a time pond nearby•       Sam finally lets on that he knows about the pond, and what that reveal actually means for the final episodes•       The Hermit tarot card from Season 3 that was drawn upright when it should have been reversed, and why flipping it would have perfectly predicted who Evelyn becomes•       Fern and Elliot singing at the piano with Cliff in the room, and the moment Tessa walks in and says that's the song she would have sung to him•       Why Jacob and Abby said "I love you" before asking a single practical question about their actual lives•       Our biggest fear for the finale: too many unanswered questions, not enough runway to land them0:00 - Season 3 Rewatch Check-In and Season 4 Feelings4:30 - Episode 8 Breakdown: Tainted Love or Time After Time?8:00 - What We Liked: Tessa Reveals, Evelyn's Isolation and Cliff's Surprise Move12:30 - Sam Knows About the Pond (And What That Changes)16:00 - What We Didn't Like: The Most Hallmark "I Love You" of the Season19:30 - Standout Scene: Fern, Elliot and the Piano21:30 - What We're Expecting from the Next Episodes23:10 - Next Episode: Nikki DeLoachDrop your theory about Sam in the comments.

On this episode of Filmjitsu, Mike decides he'd like to "extend winter" a little longer by assigning Jay the Netflix holiday rom-com Hot Frosty. A calculated attempt to exploit Jay's well-documented affection for romantic comedies, this weird take on Frosty the Snowman stars Hallmark Channel royalty Lacey Chabert and a magically animated snowman blessed with abs that could cut glass. Is it a surprisingly heartfelt holiday romance, or just another disposable entry in the ever-expanding streaming content machine? The guys dig in during the main review and then afterward, Mike and Jay count down their Bottom Five Hotties, a collection of movie characters whose scorching appeal can't compensate for their terrible behavior or general awfulness. Then it's time once again for Dueling Double Bills, where the guys attempt to build the perfect companion features for wildly different movies and, as usual, wander into unexpected territory along the way. Finally, the eternal cycle of cinematic revenge continues when the next assignment is revealed. So crank up your air conditioning, grab a mug of hot cocoa and join the podcast that wields films like deadly weapons as they contend with more icy-hotness than Mike's used on his forever-ailing back.

The character Spats in that film witnessed the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Al Capone is connected. The 1920s timeline suddenly has a lot more layers, and this episode is either brilliant or a little too ambitious. Eric and Andrea break down Season 5 Episode 7 with questions, theories, and at least one genuine concern.What You'll Hear•       Why Eric thinks Sam is the "keeper of the pond" and what that might mean for Del's future with him, including the moment Del says "I love you" while concussed and who she was actually talking to•       The "Some Like It Hot" Easter egg: how Spats, Al Capone, and the St. Valentine's Day Massacre connect directly to Nick's time travel story in the 1920s•       Casey calling Alice selfish and why that mirrors exactly what fans have been saying about Kat for seasons•       Elliot making a deliberate choice not to jump into the pond, and the "Big Fish" arrest photo that raises a huge question about where his arc is going•       Fern and Cliff's steamy 1920s kiss, the key hidden in the piano, and what it all might mean with only three episodes left•       The honest take on the Al Capone/Tessa direction: did The Way Home bite off more than it can chew?Chapters0:00 - Welcome + Where We Are in Season 54:15 - Casey, Sam, and the Keeper of the Pond8:30 - The "Some Like It Hot" Easter Egg You Missed13:00 - Tessa Calls Everyone Out (And She's Right)16:45 - Elliot's Big Fish Twist + The Al Capone Problem20:30 - The Key in the Piano, 11:11, and Final Theories23:23 - See You for Haunted HarmonyDid you clock the "Some Like It Hot" connection before Eric brought it up, or did that one slip past you?

The pacing is sharp, the ensemble cast earns their screen time, and the camera work during the crime scene sequences is genuinely impressive. But when Eric and Andrea get into the actual mystery, they both land in the same place: the whodunit itself might only deserve a 2.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR•       Why True Justice Eye for an Eye works as a movie even when the mystery doesn't fully connect the dots, and how it compares to the first True Justice•       The VR break-in scene that was exciting and also almost certainly a felony, and the question neither host could answer: how did they get out of Kimber's house?•       Katherine McNamara's wig, which Eric calls the second-worst in Hallmark history, and why it was more conspicuous than any disguise should ever be•       The True Justice 3: Lost Love listing that already exists on IMDb, plus Eric's prediction for when it actually airs•       Trivia: Katherine McNamara's role as Mia on the superhero series Arrow, and writer Nikki DeLoach's personal nod to her home state of Georgia hidden in the script•       Hallmark and Chill picks: Murder She Wrote Season 10, Episode 5 for a vintage VR parallel, and Darrow and Darrow starring Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Wendie Malick, and Tom CavanaghCHAPTERS0:00 - Intro: Did You Watch True Justice 1 Before This?3:30 - What Worked: Pacing, Ensemble Cast, and the Crime Scene Camera Work8:00 - The Wig, the Earpiece, and a Winter Movie Airing in May13:00 - Mystery Minute: Fun Movie, 2-Star Mystery17:30 - Romance Roundup: Four Couples, One Joey Porter Name Drop20:30 - Character Corner: The Courtroom Walk, the Dog in the Van, and the Well22:30 - Trivia: Katherine McNamara's Arrow Past and True Justice 3 on IMDb24:15 - Hallmark and Chill: Murder She Wrote and Darrow and Darrow26:00 - Next Week: Haunted HarmonyThe actual mystery in True Justice Eye for an Eye: would you give it a 4 like the overall movie, or is Eric right that it's really closer to a 2 on its own?

Do you enjoy a good love story?  I know I do!  If I am completely honest, I am a sucker for the Hallmark Channel.  I think many of us would admit that we want a happily ever after. We want someone to desire to be with us and love us unconditionally.   Back in summer of 2017, I read a book called The Story; it is a chronological version of the Bible in one long story. I read it at the same time as I read, The Heart of the Story by Randy Frazee. Did you know that the Bible could be looked at as one good Love Story?  No, it is not cheesy like the Hallmark Channel; instead, it is about a God who desires a relationship with you. He loves you so much that the entire book is about His love story of redemption. I highly recommend reading these books-- it would be a great summer read! I remember in 2017 it took me the whole summer, but it was well worth the time! I hope and pray that these books make the Bible come alive for you again and give you a fresh new perspective on the Bible.

Jacob and Abby might be Casey's parents, Tessa just revealed she's running the whole smuggling operation, and Kat has once again made everything measurably worse for everyone around her.In this episode, Andrea and I break down The Way Home Season 3 Episode 6, and the theories we walk away with are bigger than anything we've had so far.Here's what we get into:•       The Jacob-is-Casey's-dad theory: why the season two clues were staring at us the whole time, and what Casey saying “I don't know anything about the Goodwins” actually means•       Tessa as the ringleader of the smuggling ring at the Cove, and why Andrea saw it coming while Eric did not•       Kat's pattern across three seasons of steamrolling into situations and making everything worse, including her dad•       Andrea's season two rewatch discovery: the psychic who kept calling Del and Colton, and whether there's a real connection to Tessa•       Del's horse, Stormy, and why three seasons of screen time has to mean something•       Alice skipping New York, Max's harsh take on small-town life, and why the show might be setting her up to repeat her mom's story•       Elliot's reaction to seeing Tessa on stage, and why it felt off for a guy who's already met her before•       What we still need answered before this season wraps, and our honest concerns about whether 12 episodes is enoughChapters:0:00 – Welcome and episode setup4:30 – The 1920s carnival, Del's horse, and the Stormy thread9:00 – The wildest theory yet: is Jacob Casey's father?13:00 – Kat makes everything worse (again), and why Fern and Thomas are the only ones who call her on it18:00 – The Tessa plot twist and Elliot's reaction problem22:00 – Alice stays home: the wrong call, or something bigger?25:30 – What we need from the final episodes, and why Hallmark canceling this show still stingsDo you think Jacob is Casey's dad?

ThiHannah Swensen's 14th mystery delivers fun characters and some courtroom drama, but Eric and Andrea agree the mystery itself is weaker than fans deserve. The killer is obvious from the moment they appear on screen, there are no real suspects, and Hannah's character feels like she's lost some of that strong, independent edge from earlier movies.What You'll Hear:• Eric gives this one a 2.5 out of 5 — slightly better than the last Hannah movie but still missing what made the early ones work• Why Hannah's personality shift with Vic feels inconsistent compared to her dynamic with Mike in earlier films• The one thing that worked: Chad finally gets some backstory and actual courtroom scenes instead of just busting down doors• Andrea's favorite character was the killer — and why that's actually a problem for the movie• Their Murder She Wrote and True Justice recommendations if you're craving a better mystery• A preview of next week's True Justice: Eye for an Eye review (and why you should rewatch the first one before the new episode drops)Chapters:0:00 – Cold Open: Chocolate Cheesecake Opinions1:15 – Overall Ratings: 2.5 Out of 53:42 – What Happened to Lake Eden's Small Town Charm?7:28 – Mystery Minute: No Suspects, No Red Herrings11:05 – Romance Roundup: Married-for-10-Years Chemistry14:20 – Character Corner: The Killer Was the Best Part16:45 – Hallmark Trivia: Top-Rated Hannah Movies18:30 – Hallmark and Chill Recommendations21:10 – Next Week: True Justice Eye for an EyeDid you notice Hannah's personality shift with Vic compared to Mike?

Eric calls this his favorite episode of the season so far, while Andrea is still only halfway into the pond. Nick time travels to the 1920s, someone wants Kat dead, and the tarot cards Tessa steals might actually mean something.What you'll hear:• Why Nick singing with the Augustine brothers at the speakeasy might be the best Nick moment of the entire series• Eric's take on why Kat and Elliott's relationship feels more like siblings or toxic friends than romantic partners• The tarot card breakdown: Knight of Cups and the Empress, and what they could actually mean for Tessa's future• Del's concussion visions of Colton, and whether she and Jacob were both running parallel delusions• Andrea's standout scene: Evelyn showing real compassion when Colton tells her about the miscarriage• The drowning scene cliffhanger: Kat was the target the Augustine brothers were told to "get rid of" — but by who?• Grayson Goodwin: good guy or bad guy?

Now she's back with You're Killing Me, a cross-generational cozy mystery starring Brooke Shields and debuting on Acorn TV May 18th. And Brooke herself picked the two-female-lead concept over the traditional cozy mystery formula.What you'll hear in this interview:•       How Robin went from forty years in the business to getting Mystery 101 greenlit at Hallmark — and why it was never supposed to become a franchise•       The three concepts Robin pitched to Brooke Shields, and why Brooke changed her mind and chose the cross-generational female duo over the Moonlighting-style male-female tension•       Why You're Killing Me breaks the cozy mystery rules by pairing two women instead of relying on romantic tension, and how Hacks and Gilmore Girls influenced the show's DNA•       Tom Cavanagh's Detective Jack — the rare cozy mystery cop who's competent, amused, and doesn't dismiss the amateur sleuths•       Kate Drummond (Flower Shop Mysteries) reuniting with Brooke Shields, and whether we'll see more of her friendship storyline in future episodes•       The overarching mystery that runs underneath the six standalone episodes — and why Robin says the last episode is her and Brooke's favorite•       What it's like managing from kindness on set, and the moment the grizzled boom operator told Robin he didn't think he'd like the show — until he couldn't stop laughing during the tree sceneChapters:0:00 – Who Is Robin Bernheim?4:12 – From Remington Steele to Mystery 1019:47 – Pitching Hallmark's Biggest Mystery Franchise14:23 – You're Killing Me: Why Two Women, Not Romance19:55 – Brooke Shields Picked the Concept Herself24:38 – Tom Cavanagh, Kate Drummond & the Founders Cove Cast30:15 – The Overarching Mystery You Didn't See in Episodes 1 & 234:42 – What's Next for Season TwoWhich cozy mystery formula do you prefer — the traditional male-female romantic tension, or the cross-generational female duo like You're Killing Me?New episodes every week — subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a Hallmark deep dive.

We would love to hear from you. Send us your thoughts or suggestions. Hope Valley 1874 wraps its first season with Episode 8 — "All That Glitters" — and Eric and Andrea have thoughts. There was a twist nobody saw coming, a boarding house dance that actually delivered, and a season-ending cliffhanger that one of us thinks is completely contrived. Season 2 is confirmed, but did this finale earn it?WHAT YOU'LL HEAR•       The robbery twist: why Tom's former employee being the thief was a genuinely satisfying surprise — and why we were both convinced it was the British guy•       The boarding house dance party: fiddles, prospectors and farmers mixing, and Rebecca showing up in a dress that screamed old money in a small frontier town•       The love triangle reaches a turning point — Alexander tells Olivia to follow her dream; Clayton tells her to stay. Two very different views of what her life could be, and why the show actually played it well•       Rebecca's arrest as the season cliffhanger: why one of us thinks it's silly and forced, and what the writers could've done instead•       Bethany Joy Lenz and Benjamin Ayres in that final scene — why their "talking around it while talking about it" exchange actually worked•       What we're hoping Season 2 brings: the coal mines arriving, Tom and Rebecca's relationship forced into high gear, and a proper Hattie episode with actual stakes•       Oh — and we learned what a petticoat actually is. Neither of us was right.CHAPTERS0:00 – Did the Hope Valley 1874 Finale Deliver?2:00 – What We Loved: The Horse Chase & Rebecca's Dress5:00 – The Twist, the Dance Party & the Petticoat Debate8:00 – What Didn't Work: The Arrest & Clayton's Ultimatum10:30 – Season 2 Predictions: Mines, Marriage & More Hattie12:10 – Next Week: The Way Home & Hannah SwensenTeam Alexander or Team Clayton — where do you stand, and does the 1874 setting change your answer?SUBSCRIBE New episodes every week — subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a Hallmark deep dive.

All's Fair in Love and Mahjong hit Hallmark with a cultural controversy before a single frame aired — and then Hallmark went completely silent. Eric and Andrea watched the movie, gave it four stars, and have a lot to say about both the film and the network's baffling decision to go dark when they could have controlled the whole conversation.What You'll Hear•       Why the cultural appropriation criticism around All's Fair in Love and Mahjong spread so fast — and how Hallmark's silence turned a manageable moment into a full PR mess they never recovered from•       The real woman behind the movie: producer Joel's wife Ronnie, whose life inspired the entire story — and why that context would have squashed most of the controversy on its own•       Did you spot the real Ronnie's cameo? She's hiding in the book club scene as the “I want my bird” woman — and Eric has Joel's number to confirm it•       Fiona Gubelmann's performance — Eric calls it her best Hallmark movie by a mile, with special attention to her non-verbal acting during the karaoke scene that felt completely unrehearsed•       Melissa Peterman stealing every scene she's in, and why Eric suspects she was improvising lines that no writer could have scripted that naturally•       What didn't land: the too-brief secondary romance between the two Chinese characters that felt tokenistic given the runtime, and a small business loan subplot that hit a little close to homeChapters0:00 – Intro & The Controversy Around All's Fair in Love and Mahjong4:00 – Hallmark Went Silent: How They Let the Narrative Win8:00 – What Worked: Fiona Gubelmann's Best Hallmark Performance Yet12:00 – Melissa Peterman, the Friend Group & the Karaoke Scene16:00 – What Didn't Work: The Loan, the Tokenism, the House19:30 – The Real Ronnie: True Story, Real Cameo & Mahjong Trivia22:00 – Movie Recs: Twelve Games of Christmas, Jumanji & Field Day23:55 – Up Next: When Calls the Heart Season 1 FinaleDid the cultural controversy around All's Fair in Love and Mahjong reach your corner of the internet — or were you totally in the dark until now?

Meanwhile, Julian is quietly reading Shakespeare's The Tempest, and we think that's not a coincidence at all.•       Why Thomas showing up again has Eric half-convinced the entire show might be taking place inside Jacob's head — and why Andrea is absolutely not going along with that theory•       Nick is back in Port Haven, and both of us agree he's bringing the energy this season didn't know it needed — every scene he's in is just fun•       The Tempest breakdown: who the treacherous brother maps to, why the boats keep connecting, and what it might all mean for Griffin's role in the pond's history•       Fern's jaw-drop moment seeing Tessa in 1979 — and why something clearly went down between them that we haven't fully seen yet•       Sam's barn scene: the one line that stopped Eric mid-note, and why we're both firmly Team Sam over Julian•       Why Kat and Elliot have officially become the most frustrating characters on the show this season — and why Alice is starting to head in that direction too CHAPTERS0:00 - Wet Hair, Wet Jeans & Jumping Right In2:00 - Thomas Is Back: Figment or Future Storyline?5:00 - Cliff's Line & Nick's Grand Return to Port Haven8:00 - The Tempest Theory: What Julian's Book Tells Us About Griffin11:00 - Fern & Tessa: Something Happened in the Seventies14:00 - What Didn't Work: Kat, Elliot & the Hiding-Behind-Everything Spy Sequence17:00 - Standout Scenes: Sam's Barn Confession & Fern's Jaw-Drop19:30 - Julian vs. Sam: Who Belongs With Dell?21:30 - Dell's Fall, Jacob's Future & What We Need From Episode 524:13 - Until Next Time - Enjoy the PondAre you Team Sam or Team Julian for Dell — and had you already clocked The Tempest connection before this episode, or are you just now building the corkboard?SUBSCRIBE New episodes every week — subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss a Hallmark deep dive.#TheWayHome #HallmarkChannel #HallmarkMysteriesAndMore #TheWayHomeReview #HallmarkPodcast #HallmarkFans #TheWayHomeHallmark #HallmarkMysteries #CozyTV #PodcastReview #HallmarkSeries #TimeTravel #EpisodeReview #HallmarkFandomFollow us on social media: Instagram and TikTok: @hallmarkmysteriesandmoreYoutubeOr visit our website. This podcast was created by fans for fans and is NOT affiliated with or sponsored by Hallmark or the Hallmark Channel.

Roan Curtis is making her proper Hallmark debut in Hope Valley 1874 — and she's bringing everything: a love triangle fans can't stop arguing about, a musical friendship with Jill Hennessy that turned into green room jam sessions, and the self-awareness to admit she would not last five minutes in 1874.WHAT YOU'LL SEE•       Why Hope Valley 1874 feels like Roan's real introduction to Hallmark — and how the show's on-screen warmth reflects what's genuinely happening off-camera•       The truth about Roan's actual art skills (Olivia's stunning drawings? Not hers. Not even close.)•       Roan's read on the Olivia love triangle — why she's not playing games, and the exact scene where things finally start to shift with Clayton•       What it was really like sharing the green room with Jill Hennessy — including the harmonizing, the Lilith Fair videos, and the Chappell Roan dance parties•       Why Roan would absolutely not make it in 1874, and what comfort she refuses to give up•       Where the Team Alexander vs. Team Clayton split actually stands — and why the 50/50 divide surprised even RoanCHAPTERS0:00 – Welcome: Roan Curtis on Her Real Hallmark Debut1:30 – Olivia the Artist vs. Roan in Real Life2:45 – Love Triangles: On Screen and Off4:15 – Jill Hennessy, Green Room Music & Chappell Roan Dance Parties6:20 – Could Roan Actually Survive 1874?7:15 – Team Alexander vs. Team Clayton: Where Fans StandWhich team are you on — Team Alexander or Team Clayton?

Hope Valley 1874 Episode 7 had everything it needed to be the best episode of the season — a hostage situation, a tense Mountie standoff in the woods, and a slow-burn romance finally showing its hand. So why did we finish it feeling kind of empty? Eric and Andrea break down what worked, what completely fizzled, and whether they'll be back for Season 2.WHAT YOU'LL HEAR•       The Mountie standoff in the woods: three crooked ranchers, a big build-up, and a resolution so anticlimactic we had to laugh•       Alexander's fishing confession — he already knew how to fish, and somehow that's the most romantic thing he's done all season•       The British prospector who showed up with one episode to go and why we're skeptical the show can land that storyline in time•       That 8.9 IMDb rating — and the honest question of whether people are watching the same show we are•       Andrea's verdict on Season 2 (hint: her reading list might win)CHAPTERS0:00 – Intro & Episode 7 "Desperado" Recap4:30 – The Mountie Standoff That Fizzled8:00 – Alexander & Olivia's Fishing Scene11:30 – IMDb Rating, the Shady Prospector & Finale Predictions13:45 – Wrap Up & Paul Campbell Is ComingDid you think Alexander knew how to fish all along — and is that the most quietly romantic thing he's done this season?

   I am so proud to be a Kansas Citian on this day and can't believe I have the privilege to share it with all of you through a microphone.  The Royals have topped the Chiefs.  Missouri has topped Kansas.  Now, 2.5 million of us are all better for it.  I am truly stunned our area gets so many things right now after spending decades watching cheap owners repaint and spend money on useless renovations.  Hello Super Bowl!  Hello Crown Center's golden era.  It's time to shut up the complaining as the Royals did the unthinkable.  The took less money than Kansas offered to stay in KC and do something great for our city.  Quite a change from the David Glass and Lamar Hunt eras.  Wow.    A tip of the cap to Don Hall and the Hall family as it sounds like this was pretty much their idea.  It keeps their family's legacy project and helps them to continue something we love. Hallmark cards are about connection with friends and family and Hallmark Channel is one of the last places that's truly good, old fashioned family programming from an age gone by.  You see, some things are just too important to change.  Way to go.      We have a complete first round Chiefs draft preview for you including a red hot rumored trade between the Chiefs and an NFC team.   President Trump now says Iran hates the blockade more than the bombing so he may stick with it awhile.  And have you hear the wording of the question on the ballot that won in Virginia's gerrymandering change?  You have to hear this.
