The series is now airing over at Hallmark
Hallmark has launched their new festive series TWELVE DATES TILL CHRISTMAS last night, December 5th with our dearest Julian Morris in the cast next to acting legends Jane Seymour and Nathaniel Parker and dashing Toby Sandeman with Mae Withman in the lead role.
WHAT'S THE STORY?
Talented Saville Row textile pattern designer Kate
(Whitman) lives in the quaint village of Blexford, England, next door to
her father Mac (Parker), who is long divorced from Kate’s mother
Delilah (Mary McDonnell), a globe trotting American always on an adventure.
When not at work, Kate looks after Mac, who’s recovering from a
motorbike accident and is inclined to spend his days sitting in his
recliner. Unbeknownst to Kate, her best friend Laura (Lucy Eaton) signs her
up for The 12 Dates of Christmas – a holiday themed matchmaking program
in the days leading up to the holiday featuring carefully curated,
yuletide dating experiences, in an attempt to get Kate out of her rut.
Lovingly coerced by Laura and longtime best friend Callum (Morris), a
reluctant Kate ultimately gets into the spirit of the program and is
caught off guard when she meets someone (Sandeman) who reinvigorates her
zest for life. But when Delilah unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep –
literally – Kate and Mac’s life and holiday season get upended.
Meanwhile, Mac may be embarking on his own romance with local Evelyn (Seymour), a widow who slowly helps him step outside the confines of his
house and open his heart. As Kate wends her way through the 12 dates,
she takes a circuitous route to romance while also making some important
discoveries about herself.
Our dearest Robert Buckley plays Weatherman Ted Cooper who loves Christmas, but the past three have been terrible. This year, Ted has made up

his mind that things will be different – this will be the Christmas things turn around for him. But Ted’s relentless optimism is about to be put to the test as he is faced with a litany of injuries and obstacles when he travels back to his hometown of Lackawanna, NY for the holidays. Within hours of arriving at his sister Kate’s house, he finds himself making a trip to Urgent Care after falling off a ladder while hanging decorations. While there, he runs into Ruth Mittens, his former high school science teacher who was always his cheerleader. He also reconnects with the charming Hope Miller (Kimberley Sustad), except now she’s Dr. Hope Miller, with whom he went to high school and quietly crushed on from afar.

It's August, people, Hollywood is mostly sleeping, so your spy is going to entertain you today with some dance. Not me dancing, god forbid, just two dance movies coming up soon! HIGH STRUNG FREE DANCE is currently
Jane Seymour also stars in the dance movie
playing in Germany and will dance its way into US cinemas this October.
Zander Raines, a dazzling young choreographer (Thomas Doherty) gives
the break of a lifetime to two hopeful artists when he casts a stunning
contemporary dancer, Barlow and innovative pianist, Charlie (Harry
Jarvis) in New York's most anticipated new Broadway show: Free Dance.
But the move throws off the show's delicate creative balance when
Charlie falls hard for Barlow (Juliet Doherty) while Zander embraces her
as his muse. The emotions run hot igniting a roller coaster of
impassioned rivalry, romance and determination. The question is, how
much are these talented artists willing to risk for love?
