Blue Skies is an all-new procedural series that blends mystery and action with emotional storytelling and the heartwarming bond between a detective and her canine companion.

When Hope Calls

Premieres Sunday, April 27, 2025

at 8pm/7c. on Great American Family

*********************


I hope you all have a lovely weekend.

I decided to wait a little longer before sharing this weekend's update, hoping that Hallmark would unveil a poster for the premiere of the new "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" movie. As I submit this, however, the network has not released any promotional videos, photos, or poster (key art) for this new premiere. The image above is from Good TV; I made a slight edit to include the movie title. Anyway, I still hope many of you POstables will enjoy this new movie in the series.

Once again, the new episode of "When Hope Calls" is fantastic! It was great to see Jesse Hutch join the series. Hopefully, many of you will enjoy seeing it Sunday night on Great American Family.

Please Note: I haven't pre-screened the new movies. If you'd like to share a review, please do so in comments below!

Happy movie-watching!

Blessings to you all,

Cindy Busby or Christopher Russell? Which NEW "When Hope Calls" Cast Member Auditioned for Season 1?

We are less than a week away from "When Hope Calls" Season 2 premiering on Great American Family (and just days away from the show's streaming premiere on Great American Pure Flix)!

In the last few weeks, Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell have been interviewed by various sources, from the press to podcasts. Most of the interviews have been with just the two of them; however, tonight, Cindy Busby will be hosting, along with Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott, a special Facebook Live Event on the Great American Family Facebook Page that will include several special guests: Christopher Russell, Nick Bateman, Sarah Fisher, and Trevor Donovan.



If you have Facebook, you'll want to log in to watch the "When Hope Calls" Facebook Live interview tonight, Monday, March 31st, at 8 p.m. ET.

Which NEW "When Hope Calls" season 2 cast member auditioned for season 1?

The answer to that question is... Cindy Busby! In a podcast interview with Hearts of Stars, which can be seen below, Cindy revealed that she had initially auditioned for one of the roles in the first season of "When Hope Calls." She mentioned that she was very close to landing the part, but ultimately, it didn't work out at that time.

Now, of course, Cindy Busby is set to take on one of the leading roles in the second season of "When Hope Calls," and she and Christopher Russell have been actively promoting the show to their fans and beyond. They are also warmly inviting the Hearties (devoted viewers of "When Calls the Heart") to tune in and visit their period series, which takes place in the fictional town of Brookfield but has a similar community feel reminiscent of Hope Valley.

I've embedded below several of Cindy Busby and Christopher Russell's latest interviews. I hope you will enjoy them all...

Loving this brand new promo from #GreatAmericanFamily for #WhenHopeCalls!

"County Rescue" Season 2 premieres Sunday, February 23rd. (Feb. 20th on Pure Flix)

"When Hope Calls" Season 2 premieres Sunday, April 6th. (April 3rd on Pure Flix)


I'm really looking forward to season 2 for both series. I'm especially glad that "County Rescue" will now be a full hour for this season. The episodes were around 30 minutes last year, which seemed to be too short (in my opinion) for a drama-type series. Hopefully, with the extended time, we can learn even more in-depth details about each character.

And as far as "When Hope Calls" goes... well, you all already know how excited I am over this series. It was really lovely to hear a little dialogue in this latest promo.

Happy watching, everyone!

Please note: More images and episode details will be added as they are released from Great American Media.

For those of you who may be wondering, that is Actor Keller Fornes (who portrays Griffin), featured in the front right center of the poster above. Sadly, Keller passed away in December, and the cast is understandably heartbroken over this loss. I pray watching the new season will be a healing experience for the entire cast and crew.

I hope many of you will enjoy the 2nd season of "County Rescue."

Blessings to you all,

When We Can Hope to See "When Hope Calls" Season 2 on Great American Family

Curious TV viewers sent in questions about their favorite shows to the popular website, TV Line, which gives viewers a guide to television programming and streaming. One of the questions submitted by a man named Steve was a question on the Great American Family series When Hope Calls.

Steve asked, "Has a date been decided yet concerning the premiere of Season 2 of When Hope Calls?"

Matt from TV Line responded, "I don’t have an exact premiere date, but I am told the Great American Family series will launch its sophomore run during Q2 (that means “April-June”) of this year."

Isn't this exciting news? I want to thank our friend, Maria, for alerting us all to this wonderful news for "When Hope Calls"! I had hoped and guessed that might be the timing, but it's nice to see a little confirmation on this.

Also, today is Christopher Russell's birthday! GAF shared a picture of Christopher in his mountie uniform (seen above) on their socials with this message: "Join us in wishing Christopher Russell a very Happy Birthday! 🎉

And enjoy a sneak peek of Season 2 of #WhenHopeCalls - premiering on Great American Family in 2025! Get ready for more heartwarming moments & captivating stories! Stay tuned for a sneak peek of what's to come!"

Hopefully, this upcoming sneak peek will reveal even more details on the season 2 premiere date!
