Seeing how much faith and inspiration are both incorporated into many of the excellent family movies and TV series projects at Great American Family was terrific.
I hope you all enjoy watching!

Wow! That was soooo great!! I watched the whole video. Thanks Net. And hey, that’s cool with the season finale premiering on your birthday. I know you had your WCTH and SSD themed cakes. You’ll have to do a WHC themed now. What perfect timing!😊
ReplyDeleteAbigail, How sweet of you to remember my other birthday themes. Those were sooo fun! I would definitely love to do When Hope Calls, too. Someone else in my family had it for a birthday theme during the first season, but I think it would be fun to do it again. I've definitely been thinking about it. :)
DeleteAw, what a wonderful birthday present for you! :)
ReplyDeleteHome Sweet Christmas was very sweet, glad to see it's getting a sequel.
And YAY for premiere dates for When Hope Calls! (just wish we could've gotten some hints as to what kind of new talent they'll be bringing in this year). -Maria
Maria, Glad you enjoyed the Facebook Live, too! I'm glad you're also looking forward to the premiere of When Hope Calls in April!
DeleteYes, that was extra fun to hear it's first coming to Pure Flix on April 3rd! I think my face lit up like a Christmas tree when Bill said that. Lots of fun stuff ahead!!! :)

DeleteHi Net! Oh my gosh! You and my dad share the same birthday! He was also born on April 3rd! How cool! And, he is conservative as well as possessing a very strong faith. He loves God with all of his heart. So, you all have several things in common. :-) Thanks for making me smile this morning. It has been a rough week. I lost an Aunt, who was also my Godmother, last week. I absolutely adored her and I am going to miss her terribly. She also was a believer. She helped out with bereavement lunches at her parish, of St. Michaels, in Fairfield KY. It is a lovely little rural church and the third oldest in the Archdiocese of Kentucky. She was also in the choir. We said goodbye to her on Monday. It was bitterly cold and it was supposed to snow the day before. I prayed to God for it to not snow, because the rural roads of Nelson County, KY can be treacherous. Plus, the cemetery is on a hill, with a small winding one lane road up to the gravesites. God heard my prayers! It did not snow and so all of family, which is huge by the way, since we are Catholic and our friends were able to celebrate her life!
ReplyDeleteJoan,
DeleteOh, honey... I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear aunt. My heart aches for you. Loosing an aunt who is so close is very hard. I, too, come from a large family, but we've always been close-knit. Again, I'm so sorry. I know just what you mean about the treacherous rural roads there in Kentucky; I'm so glad the snow held off for you all.
On a brighter note... you'll have to tell your dad a very special *Happy Birthday* from me on that day!!! That is so fun that we share our day together.
Blessings to you and your family! :)
Net,
DeleteThank you so much for your kind words. Your words and blessings made me smile. :-) I am so happy to hear you come from a large family, like me and that you all are tight-knit. :-)
And, I will definitely send my dad a very special "Happy Birthday" from you. :-)
I thought the live was fantastic! All the teasers looked great! Even the things that I didn't expect to be interested in really caught my attention. I'm looking forward to it all!
ReplyDeleteMoreLikeAHopefulRomantic, I wholeheartedly agree! It was a wonderful show from start to finish! So much to look forward to. Thank you for sharing in the excitement! :)
DeleteI loved that scene of the Mountie and his quick and humble action to prevent her from slipping. I already had a good feeling about them being casted together but now, even more so. In Cindy’s interview she said that this will be the 5th time working with Christopher. It shows. Now if only they could hire Lori Loughlin….
ReplyDeleteAbigail, I was thinking the same thing! Since Christopher and Cindy have worked together so many times, they are going to have an easy connection with one another. I think that will be great for the series.
DeleteAnd I think a lot of Hallmark fans like them, so that will help to draw them in. Plus, with When Calls the Heart ending the last weekend of March, the timing is perfect!
I love Cindy & Christopher!!! This is going to be awesome!!! 👏 congrats to GAF for keeping this series going.
DeleteMy husband's birthday, too! Great news all around.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for posting, Net. I don’t have Facebook but was able to see it here perfectly. I really enjoyed all of the previews. Great American Family is my new favorite channel.
ReplyDeleteI found this out and just had to share it with you all. I mentioned before that I watch Hallmark through Hoopla online library (for free!) I just found out that you can do the same with Great American Family an When Hope Calls!!! I posted a link down below. And type out Dove Channel or Hallmark in the search bar. I love this!

Trevor Donovan has only 2 episodes on When Hope Calls: Season 2
ReplyDeleteHey Abigail - thanks for this Hoopla info. But it looks like someone can only watch Hallmark for 7 days. Is that correct? How do you watch it long term when it says "bingepass?" Or do you mean that you watch older Hallmark movies as they are on DVD and added to the system? Thank you! Amy in CA
