From Heavy.com “DeLoach said one of the craziest parts was dealing with the mosquitoes, TV Goodness reported. She said: “I had never experienced mosquitoes like that… During my closeup, a mosquito lands on my face and is just fighting me. [It felt] like Vietnam. It was so hot.” From Heavy.com “Ayres told TV Goodness that it was his first job back after the pandemic, and that was a little scary. He said: “We had intimate scenes and we were getting [COVID] tested right before. And I think the fact that there was a real tense energy about being back allowed us to take that into the film and really play it. We didn’t have to go down too far and we allowed that to be the thing [that inspired us].”” Watch the Trailer for "Cranberry Christmas" Find all episodes and shownotes on girlsgonehallmark.comFollow us on Instagram Email us!
