September 22, 2022: I'm delighted to share today that Great American Family will once again be working with actress, Lori Loughlin (Garage Sale Mysteries, Full House, When Calls the Heart, etc...), in an upcoming movie in 2023! It brings my heart so much joy to see Lori making movies again. I'm truly grateful Great American Family has welcomed Lori so warmly to their channel; however, her first starring role on the network will have a chilly theme, since it is set during the Winter season. Last year, you may recall, Lori had a co-starring role on Great American Family in When Hope Calls Christmas as her beloved When Calls the Heart character, Abigail Stanton.
See all the details on Lori's new Great American Family movie below...
PRESS RELEASE VIA GREAT AMERICAN MEDIA:
Romantic Comedy Marks Loughlin’s First for Network
NEW YORK, NY – September 22, 2022 – Great American Family today announced Lori Loughlin (When Hope Calls, When Calls the Heart) is set to star in Fall Into Winter, which premieres in January, 2023 as part of the network’s annual winter programming event. The film, Loughlin’s first romantic comedy for Great American Family, follows her successful reprisal of the role of Abigail Stanton in When Hope Calls Christmas last holiday season. Fall Into Winter begins production October 23.
“Lori is a genre-defining star that I have had the honor to call a close friend and collaborator for more than 15 years,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of Great American Media. “We have a shared vision for creating meaningful and memorable movies that resonate with our passionate fans, and I look forward to welcoming her back to Great American Family to anchor our 2023 winter programming slate.”
In Fall Into Winter, Keely (Loughlin) is aghast when her brother sells his half of their family-owned, upscale candy shop to his best friend from high school (and her nemesis, Brooks) forcing a sudden urgency to find connection and common ground. Keely has been hurt before; change is her new nemesis. Brooks’ past is a mirror of Keely’s. He, too, has a fortress around his heart. Fate brings the pair together. Might it also offer new beginnings?
Fall Into Winter is executive produced by Brad Krevoy and Susie Belzberg Krevoy.
David Anselmo produces for HP Into Winter Productions, Inc. Fall Into Winter is written by Cara J. Russell.

My *Quick* Take:
It is wonderful to see Great American Family is already revealing their new movies for next year! They are building excitement for the upcoming Christmas season and beyond. I look forward to see Lori in a rom-com style TV movie again, and I can't wait to see who is chosen for her co-star.

Everybody will have their own opinion which I respect.
ReplyDeleteI'm just saying "No Comment".

I am personally so happy that Lori is getting this Second Chance! I will definitely will be looking out for this.
ReplyDeleteI am happy that Lori Loughlin has been given a new start and second chance. A great actress, thanks GAC Family.
DeleteI'm over the moon excited for Lori's second chance! I hope she receives high reviews. It probably would happen, but I would love it if they continued Garbage Sale on GA Family. I praise God for this! She has been in my prayers for so long now.
ReplyDeleteRomans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Love Lori. Would love fir GAC to do a mystery series with her similar to Garage Sale Mysteries. Loved that show.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see her back! "When Calls the Heart" has been a disaster ever since she left. It makes me wonder if she was one of the writers for it, as well as acting in it.
ReplyDeleteDon't know if she wrote any of them, but I believe she did produce a bunch.
DeleteIt should be a high caliber movie with the production team.
ReplyDeleteLike Florence, I truly respect everyone's opinions. That said, I'm not excited for her return. Yes, she paid her dues, that she most certainly did, but I just think back to what she actually did, and having recently gone through the college application process myself, well, I just don't know. I don't have GAC anyway, but I suppose if Martha Stewart made a comeback, Lori shouldn't be denied one either.
