Fall Harvest line-up, per ET -- https://www.etonline.com/hallmark-channel-reveals-fall-harvest-five-movie-lineup-exclusive-152024 Love at Daisy Hills -- acquired movie with Cindy Busby and Marshall WIlliams (I scooped ET on this one) -- September 19th Love at Look Lodge (also acquired) with Clark Backo and Jonathan Keltz (I scooped ET on this one too) -- September 26th Country at Heart (finally!) with Jessy Schram and Niall Matter -- October 3rd My Best Friend's Bouquet (FKA Neverbrides) with Chaley Rose and Nathan Witte -- October 10th Sweet Autumn with Nikki DeLoach and Andrew Walker (I scooped ET on this one 11 days ago. What took them so long? lol) -- October 17th No Good Witch Halloween movie this year, as I mentioned in a different post -- supposedly they can't start filming until October. I forgot about the Lisa Whelchel-Antonio Cupo movie, and that is a great example of how Hallmark must have thought Antonio looked older on camera and/or that Lisa looked younger on camera. Sometimes I think Hallmark casts leads because they are close in age -- but on camera it may translate as one of the actors seeming much younger or older than they actually are, so then the couple seems mismatched (such as people thought Ryan and Scottie were). And in other less frequent cases, I think Hallmark casts despite a substantial age difference because they think the couples looks closer in age on camera -- and that may not translate as well either (such as Lisa and Antonio). Gregory has aged really well. It's not that he looks 20 years younger than he is, but he pulls off the silver fox look with ease. The woman -- lovely though she may be -- he was supposed to be paired up with in My Christmas Love may have been his age or even younger, but he was a young 66 years old at the time it was filmed, and she seemed older than Gregory on camera. Their levels of joie de vivre didn't match! lol That's why I thought he'd be better with Barbara Niven or someone like that, who seems a tad younger than she is, and is vibrant, but is still mature.

Those are good ideas! Of course, at this rate they might pull in an actress who is new to Hallmark -- in which case, it could be anyone! lol I love Julie Benz, though -- especially with David Sutcliffe (more than with Michael Shanks). She usually has good chemistry with her leading men. Something else to consider is that sometimes there is a difference between a person's actual age and how young or old they appear on camera, if that makes sense. I have seen some actors and actresses on camera who looked or seemed younger or older than they actually were. And then it becomes tricky to cast their love interests because they have to find people who also 'look' like they are in a certain age range on camera, even if their real age is much lower or higher. In these movies they mostly avoid casting women who 'seem' very young on camera with leading men who are quite a bit older. The actress may actually be 35, in which case it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to date an man who is 42. But if she looks or acts like she is 25, they won't cast her with the actor who is 42 (even though, in real life, much older men date younger women, and older women date younger men). I brought up My Christmas Love as an example in my previous comment because Gregory Harrison was 66 at the time it was filmed, and yet, for some reason, he 'seems' a tad younger on camera. It's not like he looked 46, but he was a young 66-year-old. And yet... the nice lady they paired him up with in the movie seemed older. In real life she was probably his age or maybe even a few years younger than Gregory (I have not looked up her age), but it didn't come across that way on camera. I thought that Gregory and Barbara Niven would have been a much better match. Or what about Marilu Henner and Gregory Harrison? Would they be a good match and come across as similar in age on camera? Speaking of My Christmas Love, Bobby Campo is now 37 years old, and was blessed with a face that looks young. I like him, but sometimes he looks like a teenager on camera. Ellen Hollman is the same age as Bobby, but -- in their movie Sharing Christmas -- I thought she 'seemed' a couple of years older or more mature on camera. It was nothing jarring or overly distracting, but he still looks like a teen and she does not. Another movie that generated some comments about the leads being mismatched due to age was Hope at Christmas. Ryan Paevey would have been 33 at the time it filmed, and Scottie Thompson is only 2 or 3 years older than Ryan -- but people complained that she looked and seemed too old for him, and that they were mismatched. All For Love, with Sara Rue and Steve Bacic, got mixed reviews. Most people liked the movie itself and didn't mind or notice the age difference, but there were some people who thought he was too old for her. In real life, Steve would have been 52 when it was filmed, and Sara would have been 38. That is a pretty significant real-life age difference that Hallmark usually does not seek out for their movies. Did Sara 'seem' older on camera? Did Steve 'seem' younger on camera? Or did it not matter because they were a good match? All For Love is what makes me wonder if Hallmark will cast a significantly younger actress opposite James Denton for his Christmas movie, or if they will aim for an actress also in her 50s. I tend to think they will go with someone in her 40s, but there is a big difference between 41 and 48 when starring opposite a man who is a bit more 'seasoned' than some of the other current Hallmark leading men. Anyway, I'm interested to see how it pans out!

So we have Jessica Lowndes paired up with Chad Michael Murray for Christmas this year. We have Katrina Law making her return to Hallmark after a 5-year absence (her co-star is Carlo Marks -- I found that out a couple of days ago). We have Jen Lilley in South Carolina doing a military movie, and Trevor Donovan filming in North Carolina (they may or may not be in the same movie -- it's unclear). We have Erin Cahill and Ryan Paevey paired up for a time travel-themed Christmas movie. We have Bethany Joy Lenz making her first Hallmark Christmas movie in 6 years. And we also have... James Denton making his Hallmark Christmas debut. This is because Good Witch's next season can't start filming until October, for some reason, whereas they usually start filming in August. So there won't be a GW Halloween movie this year, and that frees up James to do his first Hallmark Christmas movie before Good Witch goes into production. But... Who would be a good leading lady for James? It won't be someone in their 20s, obviously. Who is old enough to seem like a good match for him, but not someone who seems even older on camera (like the woman paired up with Gregory Harrison in "My Christmas Love")? I know that Alison Sweeney is supposed to be doing another Christmas movie, but would they pair her up with him, I wonder? Or is she too young? Anyway, it's an interesting mix of talent this year, with some unexpected pairings of existing Hallmark actors, a lot of new-to-Hallmark faces, etc..

There are multiple articles floating around today about Alison Sweeney returning to Days of Our Lives. One of them indicated that Alison is still doing the Chronicle Mysteries. So although it may take a while for it to go into production, at least it sounds like she might be doing at least one more in the series

I'm not rooting for the season to get canceled due to COVID-19. That damn virus has already wreaked enough havoc this year and has caused almost everything I look forward to to be delayed or canceled completely. It's already having an effect on some things in 2021 too. I've got to have something new to watch where people are actually standing in the same room together and not on Zoom calls. lol It's unfortunate that Janelle and Kaysar will be split up, but I guess it can't be helped because everyone in the house seems to view them as such huge threats and evil masterminds. I will now root for certain people to get evicted, rather than root for any specific people to win. lol

No news on Emma Fielding #4, which is so strange since it was scheduled to film before the shutdown. I guess they either decided to cancel it, or they had to reschedule the filming for some later date. It's interesting that the 4th Emma Fielding was not even mentioned in Hallmark's press release back in July, about projects coming up this year and in 2021. They also neglected to mention MatchMaker Mysteries #3 -- which was scheduled to film earlier this year too. They didn't mention Danica McKellar at all, in any project, which was weird because she is one of their regulars. They neglected to mention Crossword Mysteries as well, which was bizarre because Brennan Elliott said they were supposed to be filming another movie or more this year. And yet, in that press release they said that the 14th Aurora Teagarden was airing in 2021, but it is now airing this year. That makes me wonder if they had planned to get one of the other mysteries on the air this year and it fell through, requiring them to move Aurora #14 to an October slot. No word on more Darrow & Darrow movies either. So, essentially, the usual confusing scheduling/programming hijinks are going on in the Hallmark offices!

When this season was starting I said I wanted to see how Nicole F. played the game without having an option for a showmance. In fact, I was curious to see how everyone played without the showmance option on the table this time. I've seen enough of Nicole F.'s game. She is hopeless, ridiculous and childish, and she has already won in the past anyway -- and she won not only by getting the money, but won by gaining a fiance too. She has been very lucky already, but these people need to get her out of the house and stop trying to align with her, before she cries and whines her way to final 2. I've never liked Dani, and I hate it whenever she says "It's so stupid" or "It's so annoying," because her voice makes her sound like a 14-year-old mean girl, but now that she is encouraging and justifying Nicole's every thought and feeling, and kind of egging her on to be upset by what Bay said when Dani herself has joked about Nicole's showmances, she really needs to go too. Is Kevin even still there? I pretty much forgot all about him. lol

In some thread or another I was talking about Mando changing how he referred to the Child. Part of it definitely would have had to do with the doctor calling him a "him," but by the time of Chapter 4 Mando had definitely softened towards the little one quite a bit, and he was concerned about him being happy as well as safe. He spent all of Chapter 2 and most of Chapter 3 trying to stay detached and distant from the Child. He wanted to look at him as a "thing" -- a thorn in his side until he could pass him off to the Client. Whereas the Child kept looking at him with this sad face, as if he was thinking "Why don't you like me?" and "Why are you giving me away?" I think Mando's heart started to melt a little, and the Child was no longer just an "it." Mando and the Child were on Sorgan for a bit. I don't know if it was actually supposed to be the "couple of months" that Mando alluded to at the beginning of the episode, or if it was more like one month. Either way, they had time to settle in for a minute. The Child had his own crib, and I think that Omera probably showed Mando how to swaddle him. She may have even given him some pointers on caring for a small child. I am guessing that in the course of whatever care she provided to the Child, some sort of bathing or cleansing must have had to take place. So she probably realized that the Child was a "he" as well! lol Or Maybe she taught Mando how to properly cleanse and bathe the Child.

Yes. The confirmation of the season premiere coming directly from Bob Chapek, Disney, Jon Favreau and anyone official like that is definitely credible. Of course, even after things are announced they can be delayed -- but I don't think the premiere of S2 will be delayed. The trailer might still be delayed -- it might not even air during the Celebration weekend -- but I hope they don't do something crazy like premiere it during the Emmy Awards (on ABC), which is exactly one month away. A small delay is OK -- but not late September, for the love of God! lol I would not be shocked if there is one main source -- probably one of those guys who was leaking supposed Season 2 plot spoilers -- going around and giving info to Grace, and to the KRT guys and anyone else who reports on Star Wars news. If they each don't reveal their sources, they might not realize that they all have the same source! lol So the people reporting the leaks and news mean well, but people probably give them bogus or unconfirmed info from time to time, and then they look bad when that info turns out to be incorrect.

Um... interesting concept! lol "Pedro Pascal in Talks to Join Nicolas Cage in ‘The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent’ (Exclusive)" Also.. "The Absurd Nicolas Cage Movie Adds Pedro Pascal To Its Cast, Report Says" This sounds like a very meta type of movie. Pedro's character is even named Javi -- and wasn't he Javier/Javi on "Narcos"? The movie is expected to go into production this fall, so... I am guessing that either the Mando Season 3 production will be delayed to 2021 and won't start this year, or they are filming this year but will not need Pedro on the set (maybe no scenes showing Mando's face). Or Mando is not in Season 3 at all, for some wild reason, which would be bad. It sounds like Pedro may have a pretty big role in this Nicolas Cage movie, as opposed to just being a supporting character. So he could possibly be tied up with the film during most of the Mandalorian shoot, IF the Mando shoot were beginning this fall. We'll see, I guess.

See Updates above, as of just over one hour ago. ^^ Could the "behind the scenes issues" simply be that the trailer was never supposed to air this weekend at all, and that mere speculation turned into rumors somehow? Celebration would not have taken place until next weekend. I would have expected to see the trailer around next weekend, give or take a day, so of course it's coming "soon." lol Then again, maybe it has really been delayed and won't air next weekend either. Seriously, after this info and the incorrect info that there were going to be big announcements during the quarterly earnings call for Disney (I knew that the earnings call info would not pan out), I am thinking that people's speculation is turning into rumors and leaks that people believe. And when one source reports something, other people pick up on it and report on it too, and then before you know it, so many people have reported it that people think it's true. I think this guy might have the right idea...

Not silly at all! And I'm gad you did, as it helps us to have the reference. Last year, D23 happened in August (there was a Mandlorian panel) -- so that was the reason for a trailer release in that month. If there had not been a D23 in August last year, I wonder when the first trailer would have aired. Maybe not until the fall. At Star Wars Celebration in Chicago last year (in the spring), there was a Mando panel. I thought the audience was shown a clip or some sort of teaser, but that it may have just been exclusive to guests and not something released on TV. Or maybe they were shown nothing. (Last year was confusing because there was a Celebration and a D23 in the same year, which is not common.) I remember hearing someone say very recently that there were 3 trailers last year, but I only found evidence of two at a quick glance, without digging too deep. So a 3rd one may have been just a short teaser clip shown at the springtime Celebration, with the first major trailer saved for D23, but I'm not sure. This year, as we know, Star Wars Celebration was supposed to have happened at the end of this month -- the very last weekend of August. No D23 this year. So there would have been a trailer and other info or news coming out surrounding that, even though the event was canceled. If there had been no Celebration planned for August this year, I wonder when the trailer would have premiered. (I can hear the voice of John Campea -- whose show I watch on YouTube -- in my head, saying "Season 2 is starting in October. Of course there's going to be a trailer coming soon!" lol) So August was a key month for trailers both last year and this year, simply due to D23 and Celebration, respectively. However, next year is going to be interesting. lol Not only are we not sure if Season 3 of Mando will even be filmed in time to be on the air in 2021 (see what I posted in the Spoiler thread last night, for more info about why production could take even longer -- which seemed to have flown under the radar on social media and is probably fake info anyway), but there is no Celebration until summer 2022, and I'm not entirely sure that D23 will happen in 2021 at all, as it normally would have. So there might be no big August events to showcase a Season 3 of Mando in 2021 at all, and we're not even sure if Mando Season 3 is planned for 2021 (the focus was more on Marvel's TV shows in the recent quarterly earnings call for Disney).

I'm finding Nicole A. so annoying this year. I don't recall her being this annoying last year. Now I kind of want her to get evicted because David is less annoying to me. Earlier she was saying something (about Memphis) like "Did he watch my season? Did he even see my character?" (I am paraphrasing, but that was essentially it.) I laughed. No one cares that much about your character in the house, Nicole. Memphis put you up because he had to put someone up and you were one of the chosen ones. I just wonder why Nicole feels so entitled to be spared, and so shocked that she could be nominated. Someone had to go on the block -- why not her? Between the whining of Nicole F. and Dani (Dani always had a whiny voice -- that has not changed), and the way Nicole A. is acting, I have to figure out who I am rooting for as far as winning the game. If Janelle and Kaysar get booted out, I might have to turn my attention to Day and Bay as far as who I would like to see win. I want someone to win who has not won before, but I don't want Cody, Memphis or Tyler to win.

Okay, this guy -- Doomcock, as he likes to call himself, from the Overlord DVD YouTube channel -- often anonymously drops supposed spoilers and rumors about Star Wars-related things. I have not paid enough attention to how many things have turned out to be bogus and how many have been accurate. I guess I just sort of assume most are bogus until they turn out to not be bogus, or until actual credible sources of info also share the same news and rumors that Doomcock shares. But I know that a lot of his peers in the spoiler/rumor realm don't take anything he says seriously. I would take everything with a grain of salt right now. Bob Chapek (Disney's CEO) didn't even mention Season 3 of Mando in his recent quarterly earnings call, let alone a Season 4, so I don't know if Doomcock can be expected to have confirmation of a Season 4 or anything else at this point. Keeping that it mind, we'll call this a 'just for kicks' rumor/spoiler about the production of Season 3 (and 4!). This is not a spoiler about story lines or characters -- just a spoiler about a supposed Season 4, and the details of how the production may work: In case you don't want to watch the whole video (because it takes him a while to get to the part about Seasons 3 & 4 (which he keeps accidentally referring to as Seasons 2 & 3), here are the highlights: 1. Disney is moving production of The Mandalorian to an abandoned Air Force base (location is unknown, as the source did not disclose it), where some of the scenes for The Rise of Skywalker were filmed. 2. The move to the Air Force base is allegedly happening in phases, and the first phase of the move was scheduled to commence on August 1st. 3. The radical thing about this planned phased relocation is how it is going to be implemented. Apparently everyone associated with the production will be living on the AF base for the duration of their involvement with the production. The cast and crew will be tested for COVID-19 when they arrive, and they will be quarantined for a period of time on location, before they can join the production. 4. After that, they will be screened daily for COVID-19 as a precaution. No one but cast and crew will be allowed to enter or leave the compound, which will have WiFi, shops and other recreational activities. Of course, food will be provided. 5. To maximize efficiency and minimize risk to personnel, the source told Doomcock that Seasons 3 & 4 will be shot concurrently (even though DC keeps saying "2 & 3" by mistake)!! This is interesting because it means they would all essentially be living in a bubble for months, supposedly shooting 2 seasons of the series. This is a plan that other networks could ultimately end up using to get their own series back on the air. 6. Rumors are that Kathleen Kennedy is no longer a factor at Lucasfilm. 7. There are a number of new directors coming aboard for Seasons 3 & 4, and they are being schooled on how to make Star Wars -- by George Lucas -- to guarantee a consistency of standards with Star Wars moving forward, making sure Star Wars feels like Star Wars, and also because there is an expectation that these directors will be working on the multiple spin-off series planned for future production. Interesting stuff! Most of it is probably bogus, but it's interesting! If they ARE moving the production to an AF base in phases and trying to film 2 seasons at the same time, I can see how Season 3 might be delayed and not on the air in 2021. If they're only shooting Season 3, it's possible it might not be delayed. We'll see. It seems like Disney is trying to focus on Marvel as the next round of new series coming up, so they might not be expecting anymore seasons of Mando until 2022. Who knows?

Oh, I've definitely seen all of the speculation and predictions and rumors and supposed reports from inside sources and what not. I see all of the Mandalorian tidbits online - Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, you name it. I follow all the accounts of people who deliver Star Wars news -- even if I can't remember the names of all of their accounts! lol The NBA Playoff thing started out as speculation. I'm not saying that Disney won't air a trailer on ESPN too, but I'm saying that I highly doubt Disney would choose ESPN as the only place to premiere it (exclusively). That would be ridiculous because a lot of people who don't have the channel or don't care about sports would miss it. And if they are premiering it there only, I think there will be a warning or alert of some kind first. Otherwise, I think they would probably also run it on ABC, Fox and other channels they own -- and then post it on social media for everyone to see. But it's possible that this so-called trailer is nothing more than a short teaser, with a larger trailer coming sometime later. Maybe it will at least give us a season start date, if not much else. A date would be good. There was a Star Wars Celebration last year, in the Spring (in Chicago), and there was a D23 convention in August, in Anaheim. I assume that clips or trailers were shown at each event. I think there were two trailers, and at least one of them started airing on TV in August, right at the time of D23.

I've heard the opposite -- that Grace Randolph is not a reliable source of info. I watch her YouTube channel occasionally, and she has never revealed anything that others haven't already said. Some other people on YouTube that I watch don't have great things to say about her info. But, even if Grace is right... not everyone has ESPN, let alone watches it, so I have a hard time believing that Disney is going to choose that channel to premiere the Mando Season 2 trailer and not premiere it anywhere else on the same day (unless it's just a generic little teaser and not a real trailer). That's why I think it will turn up on their social media pages, or perhaps on ABC, as well -- whenever it drops, whether it's tomorrow or another day. Keep watching the social media accounts for both Disney Plus and The Mandalorian, and see if they drop any hints about the trailer. They have to know that not everyone is a sports fan, so they might have to nudge people over to ESPN if that's actually where a real trailer is airing!

From Star Wars News Net -- "Jon Favreau Claims ‘The Mandalorian’ Season Three Is Not Likely To Be Delayed By COVID-19; Dave Filoni Reveals George Lucas’s Reaction To Series" Excerpt... From We Got This Covered -- "The Mandalorian Season 3 Likely Won’t Be Delayed By COVID-19" Excerpt... Also, from Schmoedown Entertainment Network (there is some salty, R-rated language in this video, just so you know!)... "Kevin Smith would be hesitant to direct an Episode of THE MANDALORIAN"

It hasn't been filmed yet, so not until at least 2021. Since back when Hallmark announced that it would premiere on the Hallmark Drama channel, there have been a few delays in getting it into production. If I recall correctly, I think there was an issue of one or two of the cast members not being available when Hallmark initially wanted it to be filmed, and the other cast members didn't want to do the movie without all of them there,, of course -- so they had to postpone. At one later point Eric Mabius hinted that they'd be filming in December last year, but that didn't happen either. Then Kristin Booth and someone else said that they'd film in summer this year (she said it pre-pandemic) -- before August -- and that didn't happen either. I think Eric may have recently hinted at another possible time when SSD will film. So it doesn't sound like the next SSD movie is off the table or canceled or anything like that, but it does seem like they can't pick a good time for filming without something happening to derail the plans, I suppose.

Hal Hickel from ILM (seen in the Disney Gallery series about The Mandalorian) said this:

There is a new Pop figure coming soon. This time, the little cutie has a control knob -- his favorite kind of toy!

Am I the only one who has already gotten bored with seeing Ian constantly having to recite his dialogue and act it out in the space saga? I have to keep switching to another feed when he starts in with it. It was funny the first time, but now I'm over it. Big Brother knows how to run a joke into the ground (another example of that is the terrible HOH competition last week, with the very unfunny Zoom clips of the wacky family that went on way, way, way too long), and yet they often don't show us a lot of the other stuff we want to see due to rampant feed-cutting and camera switching. Back in the BBOTT season a few years ago, Danielle had a punishment that she had to perform -- every time she heard the word "FORE" she had to go down to the pool and retrieve golf balls. She had to get in the pool to do it most of the time, as opposed to just fishing them out without getting in. Sometimes she could avoid going completely under water to retrieve them, but she was always soaking wet when she got out. So if she heard FORE when she was asleep at 3 AM, she still had to get in the pool and fish out the golf ball. For some reason I found that wildly entertaining in its simplicity. No crazy costumes. No lines of dialogue. No time consuming pie-baking, step by step, 4 times a day. Just a girl being inconvenienced by having to get in the pool at random times of the day and night. Once she changed out of her regular clothes and into a bikini to get in the pool, the actual task of getting the golf balls went by very quickly because she was usually cold and wanted to get out of the water fast. Whereas Ian's task, on the other hand, not only has to keep being repeated whenever BB wants him to do it, but each 'session' of acting out and reading the lines lasts too long (for my taste).

Yep. Hallmark has not announced it, but it is officially going forward according to Kimberley Sustad in multiple interviews. From what I could tell, it sounds like it's just not clear yet as to when they will be able to film it. Sometimes things can be in development with Hallmark for at least a few years, so it could always be delayed and the script could always be tweaked before it goes into production if it doesn't film soon. Not only is Brandon Routh back for the sequel -- wherever he appears to promote his other work, people mention "the cat movie" to him, and he can't escape it -- but they might even be able to use the same cats instead of new replacement cats. I love the original Nine Lives movie. I see other people constantly asking for sequels to almost everything, while I don't think there needs to be a sequel for everything. I think sequels should be very infrequent, and only for movies that really seem to warrant them because of something left open-ended. There are times when I think it would make sense to do sequels based on certain details, but just because I like or love a movie doesn't mean I need a sequel to it. In the case of something like "One Winter Weekend" and "One Winter Proposal," there should be a "One Winter Wedding" sequel to make it a trilogy, so that one -- IF it ever happens -- makes sense to me. Otherwise, there are very few sequels to Hallmark movies that I think should be made. As you implied, if it's not great then it can tarnish the original movie. Of course, in the realm of theatrical films, every now and then you get sequels that are definitely as good as -- if not better than -- the original movie, but that is certainly not common. It's pretty much the same with made-for-TV sequels, I think.

The status and updates surrounding the production of these movies seem to change regularly, especially during this time of COVID-19. So what is accurate and correct today might be outdated and inaccurate one week from now. But... Paul and Kimberley have had a Christmas movie in development for Hallmark (with Bart Fisher) since at least last year, if not late 2018 (after they did the first Godwink movie). That one is still in the works, but at the moment they don't know if it is going to happen this year (it would have to be pulled together rather quickly) or next year. Since Kimberley also has the Nine Lives of Christmas sequel in the works, there is a chance that Nine Lives 2 could suddenly be rushed into production this year too, which would probably push the Christmas movie with Paul to next year. And, of course, there is the chance that neither the Nine Lives sequel nor the Paul-Kimberley-Bart Fisher movie will happen this year, in which case Paul and Kimberley might receive last minute offers to do other, separate movies. Paul indicated that he doesn't have anything definite lined up as far as Christmas movie shoots go -- yet -- but he also suggested that these things can kind of come together on short notice (which is what other Hallmark regulars have said). He pointed out that he is someone who would be an easy choice for Hallmark because he is already in Canada and wouldn't have to quarantine if a movie filmed there. But, so far, as of the last couple of days, it didn't sound like Paul had anything definite lined up for this year's Christmas movie slate. Now, Andrew Walker and Nikki DeLoach, on the other hand... it looks like they are about to start filming a Fall movie together very soon, and it looks like it might have come together rather quickly. I don't know if this is the same Fall movie that Nikki said she was going to have to put on hold until 2021, or a totally different Fall movie that just emerged out of nowhere. But I think she is going right from filming her Christmas movie with Benjamin Ayres into filming with Andrew. One of the current Fall Harvest TV promos shows Andrew and Nikki, so even though they have not filmed a new movie yet, it is hinted at or implied that they are doing a new one. I had already heard they were going to be filming soon anyway, and the Fall movie title I saw makes the most sense, especially after seeing them in that promo.

I spotted that on their website about a week ago, and noticed that they altered the title to include a wedding reference. While I knew there was a wedding in the movie, the first couple of versions of the title of this movie had no wedding reference. lol It was filmed in spring last year, and it was originally assumed that it was going to the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel. Then Hallmark announced that it would air on the Hallmark Drama channel -- but that was also when they said they would air a new Signed Sealed Delivered movie on Hallmark Drama too. It seemed like they had bigger plans for Hallmark Drama than what they were prepared to tackle. Earlier this year, when it was clear that Hallmark didn't have enough new movies in the can to air on all 3 channels, they scheduled JL Family Ranch 2 for an April premiere on both the main Hallmark Channel AND on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries... but not on Hallmark Drama! lol So they may have abandoned the Hallmark Drama premiere idea in order to give the movie more exposure on HMM. They definitely need someone to get their scheduling worked out, or at least to stop them from announcing or promoting air dates if they are not certain they can stick to them. Pick a date and stick to it, OR don't announce anything until you are ready to commit to the date and channel. Other networks may change things behind the scenes a lot too, but we don't know about it because they don't make date announcements until they are ready to stick to them, and they don't change them unless there is some sort of breaking news or whatever.

I couldn't sleep, so I turned on the feeds in hopes of seeing the post-POV comp discussions. Before I could see who she was talking to, I heard Dani recounting some incident with someone -- a female -- wearing sunglasses and saying "I'm miserable" or something like that. Dani said "She's such an angry woman." Who was Dani talking about? Janelle or someone else? The feeds either switched away from her, or her conversation ended. So I never saw who she was talking to. Kaysar is currently talking to Nicole A. and David, presumably to make them feel better about not winning POV.
