When is the all three new Aurora Teagarden movies coming out to Canada
ReplyDeleteHello there, again, Brittany! In case you didn't see it, I answered your question under the Mystery 101 post, see HERE!
DeleteWish I knew more about Hallmark's programming in Canada. I hope the Aurora movies will air there, either when they do here, or soon after.
Blessings, Net
Lacey has the same character name in her new movie, just like Maggie Lawson who also played a character named Tess Harper in My Favorite Wedding.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a good catch, Jill! Very interesting!
DeleteLike your intro here, Net. It reminds me of those old Dragnet shows I watched when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was kind of going for that feel. Thanks for catching on and commenting. I'm glad it brought you back to your childhood! :)
DeleteThis referred to Dragnet (TV Series) & movie way back in childhood
DeleteI greatly appreciate the news this blog! I use it a lot as a librarian and as a mystery fan. Any news on which of the older series are continuing (other than Aurora Teagarden and Garage Sale mysteries)? Definitely hoping to see more of the Billy Blessing, Fixer Upper and Darrow and Darrow movies. I'm guessing that Gourmet Detective and Hailey Dean are finished. Anyone have the scoop?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Kara! Your comment means the world to me; I'm so pleased to hear how much you enjoy your visits here! Yes, we are expecting to see more "Garage Sale Mysteries" and "Aurora Teagarden," as you mentioned, plus more of Billy Blessing in "Morning Show Mystery." The new one coming is currently titled: "Morning Show Mysteries: Murder by the Book." And, there is another "Hailey Dean" movie coming, too, (possibly more than one) most likely again in June. Unfortunately, "Fixer Upper" and "Gourmet Detective" appear to be finished for now, and to my knowledge, Hallmark has not announced any thing further in the "Darrow & Darrow" films. And, there has been no word on the future of "Signed, Sealed, Delivered," even though there is an enormous fan group who have been asking Hallmark daily on social media to renew this wonderful series.
DeleteThank you, again, for your comment, Kara!
Blessings to you, Net
I was watching Home & Family when Taylor Cole & Shawn Christian protrayed as Ruby & John Herring; Father & Daughter in the movie & in real life.
ReplyDeleteTaylor & Cole we’re both starred in TV Show with Lori Loughlin called; “Summerland”.
Who protrayed Ruby Herring’s Mother & John Herring’s Wife in Ruby Herring Mysteries? Also, Ruby’s siblings & John’s Children?
I hope Taylor Cole, Lori Loughlin, & Shawn Christian work with Hallmark together in the future movies. Taylor & Lori, Shawn & Lori will work in the future movies together with Hallmark.
Yes, that was a fun interview. Taylor Cole & Shawn Christian have known each other for many years, as he was her former step-father. They've continued to keep in touch over the years and he encouraged her with her acting career. How interesting to think she is now the lead star and he is playing one of her co-stars. I agree with you, it would definitely be fun to see Lori Loughlin work with them again!
DeleteWhen is Hallmark going to release Matchmaker Santa to dvd? Love that movie!!!
