I loved and still love these 2 together I SnowedInn Christmas so I can't wait for this. One of Andrew's best pairings and close to Bethany's best pairings, its hard for me to choose between Bethany and Wil Kemp and Bethany and Andrew.
ReplyDeleteSnowed Inn Christmas was a favorite of mine this year too!
DeleteSo true, Sabrina! Both Will Kemp and Andrew Walker have excellent on screen chemistry with Bethany Joy Lenz!
DeleteSince "Snowed Inn Christmas" was truly something special - I know we are highly anticipating seeing Andrew & Bethany together again!
Swish1014... I enjoyed watching "Snowed Inn Christmas" again this Christmas, too! I think it's going to be a favorite for a long time!
DeleteI'm also waiting for this movie. These two actors are great together.
DeleteFor those who love Bethany's costumes the Costume Designer is Patricia Hargreaves (info from the Credit sheet).
Thank you so much for sharing! :)
DeleteI cannot wait to see this movie. Andrew Walker is my favorite Hallmark guy. He's the reason I get into Hallmark movies in the first place. Just love this man.
ReplyDeleteOh, Marlena, you are definitely not alone! Andrew Walker is a favorite for many + he has just won here the viewer voted Favorite Actor in a TV Movie from 2018! See here!
DeleteThanks so much for sharing!
This is the ONE! I love Bethany since The Guiding Light and Andrew has become one of my favorites over the years.
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited! On the weekend of the movie I have a work project that finishes, so this movie is going to be a awesome treat! ;)
Hello ~Martinha~ ! I'm so glad to hear how much you are looking forward to this ONE, too! I feel exactly the same!
DeleteThat's wonderful you'll have this premiere to relax and watch after your work is done. Enjoy! :)
based on these pics...i am loving her wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteYes, Amanda D... I, too, think Bethany's wardrobe here looks truly fabulous! I'm totally loving her lovely dresses, especially the polka dot with the gloves... it's truly vintage chic!
DeleteIt's originally title Message in the bottle
ReplyDeleteThat's right... "Message in a Bottle" was the working title for this movie until they changed it.
DeleteCan't wait to see this one!! Andrew and Bethany! Doesn't get any better than that. Her brown polka dot dress reminds me of the one Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman.
ReplyDeleteLove the new wallpaper Net!!
I can't wait either, Joyce! It's looking like this is THE Movie most viewers are eager to see from Spring Fever... and the anticipation is building!!! And YES, YES, YES... THAT DRESS is Spectacular!!!
DeleteAlso... thank you for mentioning the new background! I personally just fell in love with the refreshing colors, the bike, chickies, and Easter theme! There's a link at the bottom of the page - if you (or anyone) are interested! :)
Happy Spring Fever!!!
Bethany Lenz = Must See TV !
ReplyDeletepolka dot dresses are always sexy !
Oh, YES, Katy Lynn... We all LOVE Bethany Joy Lenz, too!!! This is sure to be good!!! :)
DeleteThe Deck The Hallmark podcast guys did an interview with Andrew Walker this past Monday, and its so good. Andrew talks about how he and Bethany had free reign with the script and how they made it their own. He is really looking forward to all of us watching it. He is a really cool guy, he also talks about other things he auditioned for and he is so funny. I recommend listening to it. They are a clean podcast, they don't swear at all and mostly review Hallmark movies, 2 guys, 1 loves hallmark movies, 1 likes, and then Dan who despises the movies but he is not mean just honest.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see these two together again and figure out why Bethany is wearing fishing waders! I caught the preview for it yesterday and I'm even more excited!
ReplyDeleteNick & Abbey are gone fishing because they wore fisherman’s waders
DeleteMore Hallmark movie projects for Andrew Walker & Bethany Joy Lenz
ReplyDeleteI hope they will do their Christmas movie together
Hi Net! I have a question for you. Hallmark just put out the "On Location" video for this movie today on their website, and I noticed how the one lady says to write "to the universe" and how they show a clip of Bethany doing yoga. I was just curious how you feel about these things on Hallmark. It seems like they're trying to get people used to hearing about them so they think it's fine. Do you have problems with this? And if so, what do you do? Do you watch it anyway and just skip those parts? Or do you not watch it at all?
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your time!:)
Thank you so much for this thoughtful question. I have seen the phrase of talking "to the universe" in various films. As a Christian, this idea does conflict with my beliefs - as I believe in talking to The Creator of the universe! Also, the foundational roots of yoga and meditation to other idols is also something I don't personally believe in. I'm sure many see yoga simply as a work out with friends, but that is not it's originality. Do I still watch these movies? Typically yes, but it doesn't mean I always agree 100%. Even "When Calls the Heart" had a story with a fortune teller. I did fast forward through that segment and continued to watch because it is typically a wholesome family show. I think we all have to choose individually what is right for us and our families, according to our beliefs. I truly appreciate your question.
DeleteBlessings to you! Net
Love Andrew Walker. He's my favorite Hallmark guy -- but might be replaced by Will Kemp. I'm curious about script writer(s) for this production. Haven't been able to find this info

ReplyDeleteDuring the Home & Family interview yesterday, 4/12/2019, Ms. Lenz mentioned that she ordered the polka dot dress online. It was a great interview.
ReplyDeleteI saw that, too, and I loved that she mentioned ordering it herself for the movie - as a sort of 90's throwback!
DeleteI agree - it was a wonderful interview with the two of them! :)
this movie was so wonderful. I loved them in snow inn for Christmas and this movie loved them in even more. Great movie this was defintley the best hallmark movie since Christmas. Andrew has always been my favorite and from her first hallmark movie or lifetime Christmas movie not sure which came first she quickly became a favorite of mine just love her you know she will always make you laugh just like Andrew does. Can't wait to see the next movie they are in together or separate.
ReplyDeletecompletely agree, I had watched him even before Hallmark, so was thrilled when he became a regular. Looking forward to seeing his Christmas movie this year.
DeleteLoved this one!:) Also, do you happen to know if Bethany Joy Lenz is a Christian? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear how much you enjoyed this one! I am not aware of Bethany's faith, or if that is something she has shared with her fans.
DeleteThank you for commenting! Blessings to You! :)
I love the light blue blouse with red roses that Bethany Joy Lenz had on during the film. Can anyone help me find that blouse? I cannot find it online Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'll be sure to keep a look out for it, as well! :)
DeleteThank you!!
ReplyDeleteGreat movie except that in Boston we say "AUNT OR AUNTIE" not ANT
ReplyDeleteI loved this movie. It was the best Hallmark movie I've seen in a long time. It felt fresh -- loved everything. The lighting was captivating. I'm not sure who was in charge of that but they did a great job! Bethany's wardrobe was so well suited to her character. The two main actors had great chemistry. I read in an interview that Andrew and Bethany changed parts of the script -- they should do that more often! This was a really special movie. I just watched it and I can't wait to watch it again!
