For Melissa Peterman, the first season of NBC's Happy's Place was a dream come true; getting a second season is an embarrassment of riches. “Getting a pilot is the lottery. Getting that pilot picked up is another gigantic win that is getting rarer and rarer.” Peterman plays Gabby, friend and co-worker of Bobbie, played by Reba McEntire, owner of the fictional tavern Happy's Place. The sitcom reunites Peterman and McEntire, who first appeared together on Reba. “I think there is value in the second banana. There's value in the sidekick.” While fans see her as way more than just a sidekick, Peterman knows how rare it is to get a second chance with a hit sitcom. “It's almost more precious because I know how rare it is to get a second chance with your best friend.” Busier than ever, Peterman also co-hosts Hallmark's Finding Mr. Christmas. “I would be really sad if I didn't get to host a game show or go be with people. I genuinely like people.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's time to Haul out the Halloween!Scott from Christmas Morning joins Bran, Dan, and Brian to break down the latest movie in Hallmark's wildly popular Haul Out the Holly franchise.ABOUT HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEENNew, Halloween-obsessed neighbors inspire residents of Evergreen Lane to haul out their spookiest costumes and décor to become EverSCREAM Lane.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEENOctober 11, 2024 | Hallmark ChannelCAST & CREW OF HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEENLacey Chabert as EmilyWes Brown as JaredMelissa Peterman as PamelaEllen Travolta as Mary LouiseStephen Tobolowsky as NedKimberly J. Brown as LunaBRAN'S HAUL OUT THE HALLOWEEN SYNOPSISEvergreen Lane is the most festive street in America, and nothing is more festive than a wedding! Emily and Jared are the ones tying the knot — and even better, the Johnsons are gone! The wedding is beautiful, and everything seems perfect.While Emily and Jared are on their honeymoon, a new couple moves in and decorates big for Halloween — like, really big. The rest of the crew wonders if they should contact Jared, the head of the HOA, but decide to wait until he's back. When Jared finally sees the decorations, he's so shocked he literally drops Emily.He heads over to tell the new neighbors that all their lawn decorations have to go. “This is Evergreen Lane, not Everscream Lane!” But Jared is stunned to learn from Emily's parents that the “no other holiday decorations” rule was never actually added to the bylaws.We learn that Evergreen Lane used to go all out for Halloween, but after Emily's Gram Gram passed away, her parents thought she wouldn't want it anymore. Quite the opposite — Emily insists it's time to bring the spooky fun back, because that's exactly what Gram Gram would've wanted.The committee gathers to gossip about the “weird new neighbors,” right as they walk in — Luna and Marvin. Turns out Luna really is a witch… in a play!Emily and Jared soon announce that Everscream Lane is officially a go! Events are planned, and every house has one week to come up with a Halloween display. Everyone's in — but Luna and Marvin propose one more idea: a spooky alley to raise money for the children's hospital. It's approved, as long as it's not too spooky.Jared surprises Emily by saying he doesn't want to do a couple's costume this year — and that's a little scary for her. What's scary for Jared? Emily's mom might be dating Ned! Things come to a head when Jared lashes out at Ned during the pumpkin decorating competition — even throwing Ned's pumpkin to the ground… while local TV cameras are rolling.Jared's put on leave from the HOA until he makes things right with Ned — which he does. All is well again, just in time for the Halloween cookie competition (complete with ugly Halloween sweaters). To Pamela's shock, Emily's cookies win!Emily decides to publish a children's book inspired by Evergreen Lane. Then, big news — the local news channel is coming back to cover the Lane on Halloween night! Everything is perfect.After briefly appearing as “Chaddy Kruger” — a Chad Kroeger/Freddy Krueger mashup costume — Jared realizes he's a married man now and rejoins Emily for a team costume.Everscream Lane is a huge success, and the whole gang celebrates as Jared gets the news: he's been accepted into the Norwegian Santa School!

This week, Tommy is joined by actress Melissa Peterman, who you most likely fell in love with from her role in the smash hit television series Reba, where she worked alongside the one and only Reba McEntire. All is right in the world because she is teaming up with her friend once again in NBC’s comedy, Happy’s Place, which just got renewed for a second season. Happy’s Place is about a tough and lovable woman who inherits her late father’s Tennessee tavern, only to discover that her new co-owner is also the half sister she never knew she had. Melissa plays Gabby who has worked at the tavern for quite some time, and her character is a total vibe. It’s a series about 3 women in totally different places in their lives. On paper they seem so opposite one another, but in reality, they all have much to learn from each other. Today, Melissa opens up about that emotional moment she found out Happy’s Place got picked up for a second season, why she thinks the show is connecting with so many people, if she was a bit anxious to tell a different kind of story after the massive success she had with the Reba series, why she wants to continue working with Reba, how their friendship has formed over the years, what vacationing together is like, what it was like reuniting with Christopher Rich, what we can expect with the upcoming season finale, one of her secrets to longevity as a non-stop working actress, the importance of taking chances and showing up no matter how big or small the opportunity may seem, what she has learned through moments of rejection throughout her career, one of her greatest life lessons, the moment she realized she was funny and could create a career in comedy, her recent powerful revelation about being a mom, and so much more.
