Nikki DeLoach to star in 2021 Fall Harvest Hallmark Channel Movie!

Exciting news for all of us Nikki DeLoach ("Cranberry Christmas") fans, she will be starring in an all new Fall Harvest movie, according to an article at Hartford Courant.

This Fall-themed movie, currently titled: Love at the Steeplechase (or I've also seen the title, Taking the Reins) will be Nikki's third Fall Harvest movie for the Hallmark Channel, following, or should I say "fall"-owing (haha!)... Truly, Madly, Sweetly and last year's premiere, Sweet Autumn.

Film details below are all according to the Hartford Courant...

Scott Porter, Janine Turner, Corbin Bernsen - image credit below

Nikki DeLoach's co-star is Scott Porter (The Good Wife, Friday Night Lights); plus, Janine Turner (Northern Exposure, Friday Night Lights) and Corbin Bernsen (Psych, When We Last Spoke) will portray Nikki's parents in the movie.

Most of the movie was filmed at Meadowbrook Horse Farm in Marlborough, Connecticut. Originally, the Hartford Courant mentions, Love at the Steeplechase was supposed to be a dressage movie, but the story changed to stadium jumping.

In Love at the Steeplechase (working title), "Meadow Brook Farm is a farm that Deloach’s character grew up on and comes back to after a long time spent away from it."


My Quick Take:

As a farm girl myself, who grew up in the country, I always love a good story that takes place in a farm setting... so I am very much looking forward to hearing more about this one. I think Nikki DeLoach will be terrific in this country role. I don't really know much about Scott Porter's work lately (I have watched some of Friday Night Lights years ago), but I think he looks like a good opposite for Nikki. I've always been a big fan of Corbin Bernson, especially his faith-based films, and I really like Janine Turner, as well. What do you think? Please share in comments below...

Blessings! Net

PLOT:
In 1967, two rambunctious sisters are abandoned and raised by doting grandparents and one wacky great-grandmother in the southern town of Fireside. Humor, heartbreak and triumph are served with whipped cream and lots of local nuts in this heartwarming tale of family, friendship and forgiveness.

More story details:
In 1967, sisters Juliet (Darby Camp) and Evangeline (Chandler Head) are abandoned by their mother at their unsuspecting grandparents’ farm in the small southern town of Fireside. Stunned by their sudden arrival, tender-hearted Walt (Corbin Bernsen) and champion fiddler Ruby (Melissa Gilbert) graciously stand in for the missing parents and create one blue-ribbon recipe for a loving family. Fireside, home of radio Station KOFF, kept secrets, broken promises and to-die-for sundaes serves as the backdrop for this heartwarming story full of surprises. Top it all off with the unexpected appearance of Walt’s ailing mother—eccentric, Emily Dickinson-quoting Itasca (Cloris Leachman), and laughter and tears abound. Richly packed with plenty of quirky characters and hilarious escapades, When We Last Spoke is a timeless movie for all ages that digs in deep to things that matter most—family, friends, love, and forgiveness.

"When We Last Spoke" is available to order on DVD

and Stream on Amazon Prime Video

Review:

"When We Last Spoke – Oh my goodness… this movie was definitely unique; it made me laugh out loud and brought tears to my eyes. I would say it is family friendly for ages 12 and up. This movie first takes place as two little girls, Juliet and Evangeline, are growing up in the 1960’s. It covers a lifetime of love and happiness, as well as loss and sorrow. When their mother can’t take care of them anymore, she leaves the girls with their grandparents, Walt and Ruby Cranbourne, played fantastically by well-known actors, Corbin Bernsen (“Psych”) and Melissa Gilbert (“Little House on the Prairie”). What love these two gave these two abandoned little girls, Juliet and Evangeline, along with a home-life and stability. Their father, in the meantime, is overseas fighting in the Vietnam War. Just when things were getting somewhat settled for the girls, their great-grandmother, Itasca Cranbourne, played by the late, great Cloris Leachman, comes to live with them and brings her own eccentric set ways. She’s a bit mixed up of where she is, at times, and misses her late husband George constantly. Mother Cranbourne is a hand full, along with the girls, but somehow Ruby and Walt manage. I personally enjoyed some parts of the story, while some sad scenes I did not. One person is thought to be having an affair, which isn’t true, and the ending wasn’t quite as satisfying as I had hoped it would be. The match of the actresses who portrayed the girls younger and older was phenomenal. In fact, I learned after watching it, that it was a real-life mother and daughter who played the younger and older version of Juliet. No wonder they looked so much alike! Overall, this movie was definitely interesting; it’s a coming of age story as Juliet and Evangeline grow from childhood to adulthood and grapple with the emotional issues of their youth." ~ Net

Psych: The Movie - image courtesy USA

From everything I have read about this new Psych movie, the creators of this series have gone that extra mile to create this new movie they hope will fill in the gaps of anything that was left unsaid or undone during the course of the Psych series 8 seasons run on USA, from 2006 to 2014. After this film tonight, they are hoping to make more movies, but I'm sure that will depend greatly on the response from this Christmas movie!

Plus, for all of you Hallmark fans who may be unfamiliar with Psych, or for those of you Hallmark fans who already love this somewhat wacky, but completely unique, entertaining series...
