Happy Weekend, Friends!
It's officially the last weekend of Winter, and Spring begins next week! We've been getting delightful signs of Spring all this week with bright sunshine and blue skies, cheerful birds busy building their nests, and a rise in temperatures. Oh, I really hope this beautiful weather lasts for a little while! It's been so enjoyable doing fun activities and tasks outdoors.
My weekend post is out a little sooner this week, because we have an all-new Thursday night mystery premiere, that will simulcast on both the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Mystery! Mystery Island: Winner Takes All stars Elizabeth Henstridge (Christmas at the Plaza), Charlie Weber (Christmas Bedtime Stories), and Kristin Booth (Signed, Sealed, Delivered).
The Hallmark Channel wraps up their Royal movie presentations this Saturday with a brand new premiere that looks as sweet as a box of candy! Royal-ish is giving me vibes of Disney's A Princess Diaries, since it's about a young woman stepping into the royal world for the first time. Furthermore, the storyline also brings to mind Crown for Christmas, which also features a new governess who initially feels out of place but soon discovers her own unique approach to fitting in.
Also, see details below for the new episodes of County Rescue, When Calls the Heart, and Heartland. These new episodes, based on the promos, are filled with heartfelt moments and deep emotion.
Plus, Great American Family has a special festive movie-marathon on Sunday!

SHARING HIS LOVE:
"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;"
~Psalm 91:1-5
I liked the first Mystery Island movie so looking forward to this.
ReplyDeleteRoyal-ish - another single father - no thanks - florence
First always WCTH! This has been a terrific year. The stories have been so great. Wonderful job to the writers!!
ReplyDeleteI’ll give the Royal a go. Honestly, I am still in the middle of the 2nd one. It’s not holding my attention unlike the first Royal We.
And I’ll give the Mystery Island a chance. Especially now since it has Shane in it!!!
I choose County Rescue and Royal-ish. -Maria
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to watching Royal-ish. It was a fantastic book, first published by Hallmark, and now by Harpeth Road. Teri has had several books-to-film for Hallmark.
ReplyDeletedstoutholcomb, It's great to hear that you liked Teri Wilson's book! I've noticed her sharing a lot about the movie on social media lately. It seems like such a charming, sweet film.
DeleteThank you for sharing! :)
WCTH: S12 E11 is gonna be tearjerker
ReplyDeleteGrab your tissues
Oh, I have a feeling it’s gonna be a great one! I’ll have my tissues ready!
DeleteGet ready to grab your tissues tomorrow night WCTH: S12 E11
DeleteIt’s an emotional episode to make the viewers cry🤧😢😭🥲
Mystery Island: Winner Takes All Review….
ReplyDeleteI thought it had a good plot, although I knew who the killer was gonna be in the very beginning, but I think the cast is VERY weak. The two main characters are kind to each other and friends and I always appreciate seeing that instead of them not sharing information, but being a team. It was also family friendly.
Abigail, Thank you for sharing this review for "Mystery Island: Winner Takes All." It's always nice to hear when a movie is family-friendly!
DeleteAlso, great job on picking whodunit early on. You are an excellent Sleuther! 🔎🔎
Christmas movies and County Rescue on GAF for me.
ReplyDeleteRoyal-ish is safe and an adorable end to another wonderful trilogy! -Maria
ReplyDeleteGet ready tonight WCTH: S12 E11 - Having Faith is gonna be tearjerker. It’s an emotional episode. If you cry, I cry…
ReplyDeleteDon’t forget to bring out your tissue box to grab your tissues!!! 🤧😭🥲😢
County Rescue: S2 E 4
ReplyDeleteDo not anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer & petition, with Thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts & your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:6-7
WCTH: S12 E11 - Having Faith is a such beautiful episode to make the viewers cry…. It’s tearjerker - it’s an emotional episode. This episode is deserves awards. Jake feels better for now!!!
ReplyDeleteI mean JJ feels better for now
DeleteThis was the most wonderful episode of WCTH that I have ever seen!! Erin and Kevin did such a good job with the acting. You could really feel the characters emotions. Same with Rosemary, Faith and Bill. I also just love seeing the townspeople support each other. And the ball game on the radio was one of the sweetest scenes. Lee was so into it!😊 The Allie/Oliver scene was precious too!! I would love to live in a town where they all care for one another.
