Can you solve this Hallmark Movie Mystery?

In the fall of 2014, the Hallmark Movie Channel will be changing it's name to "Hallmark Movies & Mysteries" and will be expanding with more Mystery Movies in 2015!

For those of you who enjoyed the Movie, "Garage Sale Mystery", starring Lori Loughlin, (from When Calls the Heart, Full House) you will be happy to know they are planning to continue the storyline from the original 2013 Hallmark Channel movie with a series of follow-up movies. (the premiere movie is available on DVD)

Here's the scoop directly from Hallmark's press release:

"Hallmark Movie Channel is excited to announce the launch of a new development deal of the network’s first-ever Original Mystery Wheel Franchise with three contemporary original series of mystery movies. Within the Mystery Wheel Franchise for 2015, is a three-part, two-hour series of films airing in alternation of each other."

"...The first movie of the franchise will be “Garage Sale Mystery,” starring Lori Loughlin. In “Garage Sale Mystery,” Lori Loughlin will star as Jennifer Shannon, an expert garage sale treasure hunter, who has a keen eye for detail and natural problem solving instincts, which inspire her to help the police solve mysteries and crime. The movie franchise will continue to follow Jennifer as she scours the sales for hidden treasures and clues."

"The second wheel stars Dylan Neal (“Debbie Macomber’s Cedar Cove”) who will star in and executive produce, “The Gourmet Detective,” based on the series of books by Peter King.  Neal’s real- life wife Becky Southwell will write the movies about the chef turned culinary sleuth.  In “The Gourmet Detective,” a culinary whiz uses his mastery of food, drink and cooking to solve crimes of the culinary world.  Whether it’s the theft of a valuable recipe or a suspicious murder in the middle of a five-star restaurant, his insight, skills and encyclopedic knowledge of all things edible always lead him to the culprit."

"The third component to the movie series will be announced shortly." 

*See UPDATE below!!!!

Hmmm... that sounds interesting? For now, the 3rd Mystery is a Mystery!

Let's do a little sleuthing....
Could it be?....

• "My Gal Sunday" with Cameron Mathison?  
• Or, "Mystery Cruise" with Gail O'Grady? 
• Or, could it be something completely new?

I have a hunch... Anything is Possible! I'll do my best to track down the answer and let you know. Until, further notice... everyone is Suspect!

So, why the switch to a Mystery format, you might ask?

Well, here's our first clue: the Hallmark Channel has been quite successful in the past with their Mystery Movies, including "the highly-rated movie series ...“Mystery Woman,” starring Kellie Martin, “McBride” starring John Larroquette, “Jane Doe” with Lea Thompson and “Murder 101” featuring Dick Van Dyke."

"Hallmark Movie Channel, the second linear channel from Crown Media Holdings, Inc., simulcast in SD (Standard Definition) and HD (High Definition), is a trusted family-friendly network devoted to quality storytelling. Available in 53 million homes and one of the fastest-growing cable TV networks..."

I sure wish one of those 53 million homes was mine! Please DirecTV - add Hallmark Movie Channel to your SD (Standard Definition) Line-up! Millions of DirecTV customers are still waiting and hoping for this channel!

As for the third set of Mystery Movies...

 

Until we get a breakthrough in this case,

or, we get word... via our shoe phone,

I suspect we will all be in Suspense!

Mystery Movie "My Gal Sunday" starring Cameron Mathison Premieres this Weekend!

"My Gal Sunday"

Premieres January 25, 2014
on the Hallmark Movie Channel ( A Note to my Christmas Movie Lovers: You will recognize Cameron Mathison from the Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie "The Christmas Ornament", and Rachel Blanchard, from the Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie "The Case for Christmas". )  Here's a little of the Storyline from "My Gal Sunday":

 

 It was love at first sight for Sandra "Sunday" O'Brien-Parker (Rachel Blanchard), the beautiful young lawyer and daughter of a Secret Service Agent and Henry Parker (Cameron Mathison), retiring White House Secretary of State, when Sunday's dad Danny (Wagner) introduces them in Washington, D.C. A year after their wedding, Sunday and Parker - now living near Lake Tahoe, California where Parker was once a beloved state governor - are an unstoppable sleuthing team who enjoy the political spotlight while taking pleasure busting the bad guys. But when Parker's mom Miriam (Janet-Laine Green, "She's the Mayor") and Danny are suddenly kidnapped on their way to a high-profile family event, Parker and Sunday are immediately on the case - and this time its....

If you have the Hallmark Move Channel, and watch this movie, please let us know how you liked it! I have heard from many of you, like myself, who only have the Hallmark Channel and not the Movie Channel, too - and I know you are hoping this movie will also eventually air there, too. I have contacted Hallmark and for now, "My Gal Sunday" will only air on the Hallmark Movie Channel. So, it's an unsolved mystery as to if or when it will ever air on the Hallmark Channel or be released on DVD, but I'll let you know as soon as I receive word on this.

 

 

Also new this weekend... see Episode 3 of When Calls the Heart!

 

Episode 3- A Telling Silence: Elizabeth Thatcher is challenged with a grieving student, who lost her father in the fatal mining accident, when the student goes missing the people of Coal Valley come together to help find her.
