    1. Awe, that's sweet, Susan! Wasn't he great in "Summer Villa" and "Magic Stocking?" I think those are my two favorites of his Hallmark movies!

      My favorite of Victor's movies is definitely "Summer Villa." I like an occasional movie that feels like a little vacation, and "Summer Villa" filled that role quite well.

      If "Love Blossoms" makes use of the gorgeous architecture and scenery around Belgium, it, too, could feel like a mini-vacation!

    3. Don't forget Puppy Love with Candace Cameron Bure he did.

    4. Love this movie, My mother was from Belgium and my daughter is named after a friend of the family from there, Chantal (the french spelling) so this movie hits home big time. Love the building it was filmed in wondering where it is located at.

  2. These two are extra cute together! I recognize Victor, but who is she?

    1. Yes, if you are a Hallmark movie watcher, you'll recognize Victor Webster from "Puppy Love", "Magic Stocking" or "Summer Villa."

      This is Shantel VanSanten's first Hallmark movie. Perhaps, you recognize her from "One Tree Hill" or "A Golden Christmas 3."

      She's also been in several different TV series, including the pilot of "Timeless," "The Messengers," "The Flash" or "Shooter." (I'm not personally familiar with those last three, but I thought you might be!)

    2. Thank you Net!! That was bugging me. It is from Golden Christmas 3 I just rewatched all 3 this past Christmas.
      This movie seems like it is going to be a good one.

    3. I think so, too! At least, I hope so!!! :)

  3. I'm surprised Callum Blue from Princess Dairies 2. Victor Webster's character Dec Granger; Dec is a nickname for December, Decker, Declan but it's actually Declan "Dec" Granger in Love Blossoms.

    1. Good point on nicknames, but under the cast list above it already says Declan "Dec" Granger.

      Delete
    2. Yes, (Anonymous #1) it is nice to see some new faces to Hallmark that we've enjoyed in other projects! Even some from feature films like Callum Blue, from Princess Diaries 2!

      Thank you so much for sharing! :)

    1. Oh, I've never seen "The Flash", but she was sweet in the third "Golden Christmas" movie (from ION)!

      So great to hear from you, Rissi! :)

  5. Emma Samms is in it; she was in the movie called Bejewelled with Dirk Benedict - Disney movie

    1. Thank you for sharing! I looked up 'Bejewelled' on IMDB. I've never seen this Disney movie, but it sounds like a cute one! I always love a good family friendly mystery - sure wish Disney would play some of their old TV movies! :)

  6. Ohhhhh....this looks good, Net! I love Victor Webster; such a handsome young man!! Summer Villa s one of my favorite movies!!

    1. Glad you are looking forward to this one, Linda! Hallmark is always wonderful about extending every holiday - why not have a Valentine movie after Valentine's Day, too!

      Plus- I, too, loved Victor Webster in "Summer Villa," especially the part where he walks into the restaurant at the very beginning! Need I say more? Plus, Hilarie Burton was fantastic as his opposite! Great chemistry!

      Hope you also enjoy "Love Blossoms!"

    2. Have watched both Summer Villa and Love Blossoms twice and will watch again. Hallmark movies are the best! But I want to know where the movies were filmed. Thank you for great entertainment especially from one who has 8 surgeries in the last year.

    3. Oh, I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed these movies.

      Summer Villa was filmed in Montréal, Québec, Canada.

      and...

      Love Blossoms was filmed in Belgium!

      Such beautiful settings!

      Hope this information helps and I also hope you feel better after your surgeries.

      Blessings to you, Net

  7. I haven't heard Christmas Villa movie starring Hilarie Burton!!! What's happening to Christmas Villa on Hallmark Channel?

    1. Good question! Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything official on "Christmas Villa" - yet! It started out as a social media buzz, so I'm not certain it is actually happening. We will have to wait and see... it certainly is still possible!

    1. Those are SUPER on-the-set pics, H.R.! Thanks so much sharing with all of us! You are always great at having the scoop on "Garage Sale Mystery." I think even Jennifer Shannon would be impressed! (LOL!!!)

      (I know H.R. Jafael knows this - but in case anyone else doesn't... Jennifer Shannon is the name of Lori Loughlin's sleuthing character in the "Garage Sale Mystery" movies!)

    2. There's two Garage Sale Mysteries are currently filming & upcoming Mysteries movies: Garage Sale Mystery: Drowned & Garage Sale Mystery: Texting a Murder. Two more Garage Sale Mysteries left to go until they will air in August 2017.

    4. Hi Net, I have a question for you, what's your take on them airing four of GSMysteries in August. What's your take on this, do you think they're wrapping up GSM movies or do you think they're giving us the gift of four of them to tide us over (maybe it's a break time for the movies?) I'm not trying to start any talk, just wondering. Jill

    5. Thank you so much for that question, Jill! I hope you don't mind, but I moved your question here under the most recent Garage Sale Mystery post and gave my response there, too.

      Please know, you can talk about any movie anywhere on my site, I don't mind, at all - I only moved it because my response was so long!!! :)

    1. Thank you for sharing that information. The Billy Graham movie is a wonderful, inspirational film. It's nice to see Bobbie Phillips was in that, and several other religious movies.

  10. I forgot Bobbie Phillips was in "The Cape" tv series playing an astronaut! This was with Corbin Bernard at NASA. I used to watch that and it was really good!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I just went to Billy Graham film website and Last Flight Out is the top movie on there. Starring Richard Tyson and Bobbie Phillips...https://billygraham.org/tv-and-radio/worldwide-pictures/ I am ordering it to watch before Love Blossoms airs :)

    Emma Samms will always be "Holly Scorpio" to me, just as Jack Wagner is forever going to be "Frisco Jones."
