  1. I love the movies with Lacy and Tyler. She is so pretty and Tyler Hines, well I am in Love with him. I love to watch the movies with the two of them together. They make such good movies together. Do they ever age? But the two of them make my heart melt.

    1. @Sandra Voishell,
      I like them together too but my heart melted when I saw Hines play with Mallory Jansen in last year’s The Twelfth Date of Christmas. That was awesome and they made the perfect match.

    1. @Diana,
      I think all of them are pretty good but my favorites are Bethany Lenz, Jill Wagner, Hillary Barton ( who I believe is no longer with Hallmark but I have to mention her), Scottie Thompson (who I haven’t seen for a while), and Autumn Reeser. They bring a nice fresh flavor to their character rather than always bringing the same traits to their characters.

    2. @Mollie, and Kimberley Sustad. How could I leave her out?! She is amazing and I love her and Paul Campbell together.

    3. @Mollie,
      Yes Kimberly and Paul Campbell are so believable and you can tell they really “get” each other. So funny together!

  2. Nikki Deloach is one of my favorites on the Hallmark movies! I loved her in Taking the Reins with her Co-star. Awesome chemistry between those two!! Also love Candace Cameron Bure! Just love all the Hallmark movies!!

  3. I enjoy most of the movies, but disappointed my favorites Allison Sweeney, Jessie Schram, and Jill Wagner were not on the list.
