Girls Gone Hallmark

This week on The Way Home Listener Mailbag 8, you came ready with theories, clarifications, and just enough clown makeup to keep us all guessing. We discuss why Evie was really upset in 1980, whether Alice is destined to reveal the truth to older Evelyn someday, and who may have edited the film reel. Listeners weigh in on Tessa's motives, postpartum depression theories, and baby Elliot's mysterious journey. We also debate Elliot's increasingly questionable decision-making, speculate about Cliff and Fern's love story, revisit Sam's role in the larger mythology, and ask whether Season 4 is trying to squeeze two seasons' worth of story into ten episodes. Plus, we tackle the Jacob and Abby storyline, the possibility of everyone ending up in 1925, and one very important question: would you rather have a messy ending or no ending at all?Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-listener-mailbag-8/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Every once in a while we feel compelled to talk about things other than Hallmark. And thus, Last to the Party was born. Last summer we took it all of the way back to the beginning and recapped Summer House Season 1. This summer we're talking about the first episode of the currently airing show In the City. If you're a Bravo fan, we hope you'll give this episode a listen and consider subscribing to Last to the Party. Subscribe to Last to the Party Here:Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/last-to-the-party/id1817331631Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0XRY7wIGls5MxvfMPMXtJ2Visit lasttothepartypodcast.comThis week on Last to the Party, we’re reacting to and unpacking In the City Season 1 Episode 1 — Bravo’s latest evolution of the Summer House universe that asks: what happens when summer ends. We’re diving into the shocking Amanda/Kyle/West fallout, Lindsay Hubbard quietly steering the entire show like a veteran reality producer, Danielle somehow moving faster than the very relationships she used to critique, and why little Gemma is already delivering top-tier reaction shots. Plus: our thoughts on the premiere structure, the evolution of Bravo’s “grown up” era, and why this cast feels more compelling than we expected.Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In The Count of Monte Cristoepisode 8 finale, Edmond Dantes’ long-planned revenge finally reaches its devastating conclusion - and turns out, revenge really does come with a body count, emotional damage, and a whole lot of collateral fallout. As secrets are exposed, empires crumble, and old wounds reopen, the series forces Edmond to confront the true cost of the life he’s spent years building toward. We’re breaking down the surprisingly emotional ending, the downfall of Danglars and Villefort, the moment Edmond may have finally gone too far, and why this PBS adaptation somehow managed to end like a dark, emotionally wrecked Hallmark movie.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-8/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 8, “All That Glitters,” brings the season to an emotional and dramatic close as Rebecca and Tom grow closer just as trouble from Rebecca’s past finally catches up with her. With the boarding house opening, robberies causing unrest in the community, and Olivia facing a major decision about her future, the finale pulls together many of the season’s biggest themes: grief, belonging, ambition, and what it truly means to build a life in Hope Valley. We’re breaking down the moments that worked, the lingering frustrations, and why we’ve become genuinely invested in these characters and what comes next.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-8/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

All's Fair in Love and Mahjong turned out to be one of the most talked-about Hallmark movies of the spring for more reasons than one. Fiona Gubelmann stars as Ronnie, a school nurse and devoted mom white-knuckling her way through an empty nest, a house she might lose, and a job that's slipping away, who finds an unexpected new path through teaching the game she loves. Paul Campbell plays Ben, a contractor who shows up to fix her house and ends up doing a little more than that. Rounding out the ensemble is a friend group so good (Melissa Peterman, Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, and Tamera Mowry-Housley) that Megan immediately booked a mahjong lesson and Wendy compared the whole thing to Sex and the City.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/alls-fair-in-love-mahjong/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

The Way Home Season 4 Episode 4, “We’ve Got Tonight,” finds the mystery in Port Haven getting even more tangled as Kat fully leans into detective mode while simultaneously deciding that maybe The Herald no longer has a place in the town she’s trying so hard to understand. In the 1970s, Alice continues piecing together the past, learning surprising things about Del and coming face-to-face with an increasingly suspicious Tessa. Meanwhile, Jacob remains isolated in Toronto, clearly haunted by more than just memories, and Nick’s return to Port Haven comes with a whole lot of questions, meddling, and involvement in pond business that honestly feels a little too aggressive for our liking.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-4/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Y'all absolutely did not come to play this week. We're back with The Way Home Listener Mailbag 3, and the submissions were so good -- and so MANY -- that we overhauled the whole format. Instead of reading each email top to bottom, we've organized your thoughts by subject matter. We've got age math corrections, Elliot hot takes, Fern conspiracy theories, boulder sightings, time travel rule debates, and one listener who coined the nickname T.S. Elliot that we will absolutely be using forever.

In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 7, the carefully constructed revenge plan Edmond Dantès has been building all season finally starts detonating in public. Long-buried secrets come to light, alliances crumble, and the men who helped destroy Edmond’s life are forced to face consequences they never saw coming. But as identities are revealed and emotions take over, the revenge starts to feel far messier - and far more personal - than before. We’re breaking down the major reveals, the fallout for Fernand, Mercedes, and Albert, and the moment that made us realize Edmond may no longer care who knows exactly who he is Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 7, “Desperado,” brings a little more action to the frontier this week, with a hostage situation that forces Rebecca and Tom to work together under pressure - while still revealing more about who they are at their core. As a young fugitive lands in their orbit, the episode leans into questions of justice, survival, and who deserves the benefit of the doubt, all while continuing to build out the relationships in town. Between Hattie offering heartfelt support to Rachel, Olivia and Alexander circling each other (again), and a very suspicious new boarder raising more than a few red flags, there’s a lot to unpack - even if we’re starting to wonder if the show is checking off a few classic TV boxes along the way.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-7-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Hold onto your hats, because Kentucky Roses is bringing major Hallmark charm straight from the heart of the Churchill Downs and into our living rooms. Premiering just in time for the Kentucky Derby buzz, this new Hallmark original stars Andrew Walker in a story that feels equal parts sweeping romance and behind-the-scenes Derby magic. Kentucky Roses follows a chance pairing between a greenhouse worker and the son of Churchill Downs’ CEO, as they race to preserve the Kentucky tradition - while uncovering a generational love story that might just steal the spotlight. If you’re here for Derby glamour, heartfelt storytelling, and a little bit of that signature Hallmark sparkle, this one is already off to the races.

The Way Home Season 4 Episode 3 delivers an emotionally layered episode, as long-buried truths finally start coming to the surface. With Vic back in Port Haven, difficult conversations force Elliot to confront what he thought he knew about his past. Meanwhile, Kat’s journey into 1925 takes a dangerous turn, and Alice’s return to the late ’70s brings her face-to-face with moments - and people - that hit harder than expected.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-3/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Cue the clown music because it’s time for The Way Home Listener Mailbag 2 - aka the episode where the theories are flying and the timelines are spiraling. We asked for your thoughts on The Way Home and WOW did you deliver - from deeply thought-out generational timelines to “what if this person is secretly that person’s grandchild from the future?” energy. We’ve got Elliott defenders, Alice truthers, Griffin truth-seekers, and at least three different takes on who “the one” is…and we love every single chaotic second of it. Let’s dig into the mailbag where the vibes are strong, the receipts are lengthy, and yes- Momma absolutely does need eye candy.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-listener-mailbag-2/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

May starts off strong with Andrew Walker ushering in a Derby Day romance — florals, family legacy, and that easy charm we know exactly what to do with. Then things take a turn into unexpected territory with the mahjong movie…yes, that one…already stirring up conversation far beyond the usual Hallmark bubble. And just when you think you’ve cracked the code on May’s vibe, Hallmark pivots hard into mysteries — not one, not two, but three — including the long-awaited return of a Nikki DeLoach project (and no, it’s not Curious Caterer). Cozy? Absolutely. Predictable? Not even a little. Chaotic? Just enough to keep us locked in.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/may-2026-hallmark-movies-first-impressions/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In The Forsytes Episode 6, the Season 1 finale of this PBS Masterpiece drama, everything comes to a head - just not in the tidy, bow-wrapped way our Hallmark-loving hearts might expect. As loyalties fracture and long-simmering tensions finally boil over, Irene finds herself increasingly trapped in a marriage that’s lost all illusion of romance, while Soames tightens his grip in ways that feel more controlling than loving. Meanwhile, Jolyon makes a life-altering decision to walk away from status and security in favor of something far more uncertain, and Frances pivots with calculated precision as her world shifts beneath her. It’s a finale that leans fully into its soapy roots — setting the stage for even bigger fallout in what we’re hoping is Season 2.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-6-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 6, Edmond Dantès’ carefully constructed plan starts to feel a little…unstable. As his influence ripples through Paris - impacting marriages, reputations, and even innocent lives - the line between justice and collateral damage becomes harder to ignore. Secrets unravel, tensions rise, and just when everything feels like it might spiral, we get a moment that stops you in your tracks. This episode gave us a lot to think about - from who’s really in control to whether this revenge plan is starting to cost more than intendedFor full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-6-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Another Hallmark Headlines episode is here, and there is genuinely a lot to talk about. Megan curated this week's list (she's chronically online, as Wendy likes to say), and Wendy is hearing most of it for the first time. Classic. Buckle up for holiday movie gossip, a Tyler Hynes ornament that deserves its own tree, a baseball stadium at Crown Center, and a live Hallmark tour that has us both equal parts excited and a little nervous.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hallmark-headlines-3/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 6, “Common Ground,” gives us one of the more layered episodes of the season so far, blending emotional growth with some real stakes in the community. As Rebecca is finally forced to slow down and face her grief, we see meaningful movement in her relationship with Sarah – and a deeper understanding of why she’s been running at full speed since arriving in Hope Valley. At the same time, tensions over land and livelihood come to a head, putting Tom and Doyle on a collision course and pushing Alexander into a decision that’s anything but simple. It’s an episode that balances heart, conflict, and a few very memorable moments (yes, we’re still thinking about that couch), and it’s giving us plenty to unpack.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-6-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

If you’ve been waiting for a new Tyler Hynes movie, I’ll Be Seeing You has officially arrived - and yes, Mr. Golden Delicious himself is back on our screens! In this Spring Into Love Hallmark romance, Amy’s carefully planned weekend with her grandma takes an unexpected turn into a heartfelt road trip, complete with one sentimental detour and a very appealing activities director. Starring Tyler Hynes, Stacey Farber, and Christine Ebersole, I’ll Be Seeing You delivers the kind of cozy, flirty, emotional storytelling Hynies love - and we’re buckling up for every mile.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/ill-be-seeing-you-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

The Way Home Season 4 Episode 2 keeps the momentum going with a layered, time-hopping episode that deepens the mystery without giving too much away. When Kat finds herself in a new era of Port Haven history, new questions begin to surface about the people and patterns surrounding the pond. Meanwhile, Alice revisits a familiar time that feels anything but simple, and Del steps in to support Elliot as he processes everything he’s just learned. With parallel timelines, emotional undercurrents, and just enough intrigue to keep us guessing, this episode proves the story is only getting more complex from here.Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-2/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

We are rewinding back to one of our favorite Tyler Hynes Hallmark movies, and honestly? It holds up. Megan and Wendy are revisiting A Picture of Her, the Hallmark Channel spring romance starring Tyler Hynes and Rhiannon Fish, and there is a lot to unpack.  In this episode, we get into what we loved (those kissing scenes, the chemistry, the surprisingly healthy ending), what we wished had gone differently (the viral photo storyline, we have THOUGHTS), and of course our favorite segment, Did You See That?, where we catch all the little moments you may have missed the first time around. Spoiler: the chemistry between Tyler Hynes and Rhiannon Fish is genuinely off the charts. We may have speculated a little about why that is. We also talk about Samantha Ferris as Aunt Doty, the very convenient fact that Jake owns literally nothing in Los Angeles, and whether anyone in this movie has ever actually been to LA.  Plus, we flashback to the original airing and share the behind-the-scenes details on the Girls Gone Hallmark King of Hallmark bracket that was running at the time. It was wild.

In The Forsytes Episode 5, the drama leans fully into its soapy side - and honestly, we’re here for it. As Irene tires to settle into life in London, the cracks in her marriage to Soames become harder to ignore, especially when his version of love starts to look a lot like control. Meanwhile, Jolyon tries to do right by Louisa and their children, setting off a chain reaction. With reputations on the line, loyalties shifting, and more than a few well-placed cutting remarks, this episode proves that beneath all the polished manners, the Forsytes are just as messy as any modern-day drama.For full episode shownotes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-5-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 5, Edmond Dantès isn’t just plotting revenge - he’s actively playing the game, and somehow he knows exactly where to strike. But with so much happening (and Dantès seemingly five steps ahead at all times), we couldn’t help but ask…how is he getting all of this information?? We’re diving into the strategy, the chaos, and the growing sense that this revenge plan might be more calculated - and more dangerous - than we expected.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-5-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 5, “Finally Home” brings some drama this week, with a full search effort in the woods that finally pushes Rebecca to open up about her past - and gives us the clearest picture yet of why she fled Chicago. As tensions rise, Tom continues to soften in ways that actually feel earned. Back in town, Hattie’s new safe situation adds a little chaos (and a few relatable parenting moments), Olivia continues exploring her creative side, and we’re left sorting through what worked, what didn’t, and what we still have questions about.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-5-hallmarkVisit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

We’re heading to Philadelphia for To Philly with Love, a history-meets-romance story centered around Revolutionary War letters, hidden clues, and a mission to save a legacy. Emily, a burned-out teacher and history lover, teams up with archivist Nate to uncover a centuries-old love story - but along the way, we’re asking: did this movie sweep us up in the romance, or leave us stuck in a lecture? We’re breaking it all down with our honest takes, a few laughs, and plenty to say about where this one worked… and where it didn’t quite capture that Hallmark magic.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/to-philly-with-love-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Season 4 of The Way Home is wasting absolutely no time, kicking off with a jaw-dropping premiere that delivers time-travel chaos, emotional breakthroughs, and one stubborn pond. In The Way Home Season 4 Episode 1, Alice is on the brink of graduation and a big move to New York while navigating complicated feelings between Noah and Max, Kat becomes more determined than ever to uncover the truth about Elliot's mom's disappearance, and Elliot is forced to confront painful questions about his past - whether he wants to or not. With a shocking baby reveal, buried secrets coming to light, and the pond quite literally choosing who gets to time travel, this episode sets the tone for a season packed with mystery, heartbreak, and just enough romance to keep us fully invested.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-1/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

It's wedding season! To celebrate, Megan and Wendy review "Wedding Every Weekend" starring Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad as part of a throwback movie review series. Right off the bat Wendy declares herself a "Campbell/Sustad Stan." Fun fact: this was filmed in the summer of 2020 and apparently mannequins were used in the background as well as stand-ins so to abide by local social distancing requirements.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/wedding-every-weekend-hallmark-movie-review/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In The Forsytes Episode 4, the tension between love and security comes into sharp focus - and no one gets to have both. June boldly follows her heart (and shocks the entire family), while Jolyon finds himself reckoning with the kind of choice he once avoided. Meanwhile, in Paris, Soames and Irene’s whirlwind romance starts to reveal cracks as passion edges into something more controlling, and Irene’s desire for freedom doesn’t quite fit the life being built around her. It’s a turning-point episode full of quiet realizations, shifting power dynamics, and just enough unsettling romance to keep us leaning in.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-4-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 4, things take a darker, more unsettling turn as Edmond Dantès moves beyond planning and starts executing a very calculated - and honestly chilling - strategy. As he embeds himself into the lives of those who wronged him, new secrets begin to surface, alliances deepen, and the line between justice and something far more sinister starts to blur. This episode had us asking a lot of questions - about what Dantès knows, how he knows it, and whether we should be a little concerned about just how far he’s willing to go.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-4-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 4 “Trading Places,” now streaming on Hallmark+, the story continues to build as shifting responsibilities and growing tensions ripple through town. Rebecca finds herself taking on more than ever as the boarding house - and seemingly everything else - demands her attention, while Constable Vaughn’s arrival keeps curiosity in the air. Relationships begin to evolve in interesting ways, and a few storylines start to take shape as the series settles into its rhythm.

Did somebody say magic piano in a gazebo? Not a flyer, not a permit, not a single person claiming responsibility. Just: piano. For city manager Allie, this is a problem. A charming, impossible, music-filled problem. A Little Park Music pairs Allie with Ryan, a rookie cop who's been tasked with helping her figure out what to do about the mystery instrument. Naturally, neither of them is prepared for what happens next. The piano stays. The music plays. Love, as it turns out, is just as hard to move as an upright in a gazebo. This one is part of Hallmark's Spring Into Love 2026 lineup and premieres on Saturday, April 11 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. It will be available to stream on Hallmark+ the following day.

In The Forsytes Episode 3, loyalties fracture and quiet scandals turn into very public stakes. As Jolyon Jr.’s past with Louisa threatens his future at Forsyte & Co., the family closes ranks in ways that feel less like protection and more like strategy. Meanwhile, Soames makes a sweeping commitment to Irene, June begins carving out her own path beyond the expectations of her name, and Frances tightens her grip as everything she’s built starts to wobble. It’s a turning point episode where love, reputation, and power collide - and where the Forsytes prove that what’s left unsaid can be just as explosive as what’s revealed.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-3-pbs/Fill out the GGH Listener Survey!Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 3: The Treasure, Edmond Dantès sets out in search of the treasure that could change everything - but not before coming face-to-face with just how much he’s lost. With his old life gone, he begins forming new alliances and starts to define what comes next. Is this about justice… or is Edmond fully entering his revenge era?

In Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 3, “Good Prospects,” Rebecca launches a mess tent to help fund repairs on the boarding house - because apparently “take on one project at a time” is not part of her vocabulary. As Tom deals with an unexpected setback of his own, and Olivia pushes her art to the next level with help from both Alexander and Clayton, the community continues to take shape in interesting ways. We’re loving the momentum and character growth here, but also gently wondering if Rebecca might be a little… overextended.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-3-hallmark/Fill out our listener survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeu-HseQ5-h6qucDFANEHbGf6duw4G94R3pezFp4TRhSO0JUw/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=106341662288711746415Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

We got an email this week that genuinely made us pause… and not in a “Did You See That?” kind of way. One listener - an OG, 5-star-review, been-here-since-the-beginning listener - wrote in to say she’s officially unsubscribing. And listen… we have thoughts. So in this April 2026 Listener Mailbag, we’re diving into that note, plus a very mixed bag of takes on everything from A Royal Setting toThe Forsytes, The Count of Monte Cristo, and even our glasses.

In The Forsytes Episode 2, the gloves come off - quietly, of course. As Jolyon Jr. finds himself caught between duty and desire, a past connection with Louisa resurfaces in a way that threatens far more than his reputation. Frances keeps a watchful eye (and a tighter grip), June begins asking questions no one wants answered, and Soames turns his attention to the enchanting - and elusive - Irene. With whispers of scandal, strategic family maneuvering, and just enough longing glances to keep us hooked, the Forsyte world is already proving that beneath all that polished propriety…things are getting deliciously messy.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-episode-2-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

The Count of Monte Cristo Episode 2: The Castle drops us into the bleak world of Château d’If, where Edmond Dantès endures years of brutal imprisonment that slowly reshape him from a hopeful sailor into a man with a very clear purpose. Enter Abbé Faria - played by special guest Jeremy Irons - who brings wisdom, hope, and a surprisingly compelling long-term escape plan (plus a little life coaching along the way). While Girls Gone Hallmark is usually your go-to for cozy romance, we’re dipping into PBS territory because this kind of sweeping, character-driven drama is exactly what our listeners have been asking for - and this episode? It’s intense, emotional, and just a little bit impossible to look away from.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-count-of-monte-cristo-episode-2-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

In Hope Valley: 1874 Season 1 Episode 2, we’re settling further into frontier life as Rebecca begins laying the groundwork for her new future - while quickly realizing it won’t come without a few challenges. This episode deepens the tension between Rebecca and Tom, raises more questions into Rebecca’s past, and starts to build out the community in meaningful ways. We’re especially loving the themes around independence, motherhood, and second chances…and yes, we’re also talking about a few moments that had us laughing - whether the show meant to or not.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-2/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Hallmark’s A Royal Setting brings a little sparkle - and a little family drama - as Ruby, a world-renowned gemologist, is brought in by Prince Luca to restore the crown jewels and design a new crown fit for a future king. What should be a straightforward job quickly turns complicated when tradition, expectations, and one very opinionated queen get in the way. The film marks the highly anticipated return of fan favorite Jen Lilley, reuniting with Dan Jeannotte for the first time since Paris, Wine & Romance.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/a-royal-setting-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Dearest listeners, do adjust your gloves and settle in - because Girls Gone Hallmark is stepping into a slightly more buttoned-up drawing room. We’re expanding beyond Hallmark and into the world of PBS Masterpiece with our review of The Forsytes, where fortunes are made, marriages are negotiated, and absolutely no one says what they really mean at the dinner table. In this first episode, we’re diving into lavish parties, whispered scandals, and one very eventful 18th birthday that sets the tone for a family where ambition, reputation, and desire are always in delicate balance. Consider this your invitation to join us as we trade small-town charm for high society drama… but don’t worry - we’re still bringing the same Girls Gone Hallmark takes.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-forsytes-pbs/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Serving as a prequel to When Calls the Heart, this series takes us back to the early days of the frontier, where life is uncertain, demanding, and far from the charm we’ve come to know. Bethany Joy Lenz stars as Rebecca Clarke, a mother determined to build a new life for herself and her young daughter, only to find that the boardinghouse she’s purchased is not what she expected. With the help of local rancher Tom Moore (Benjamin Ayres), Rebecca must navigate the realities of frontier life - resilience, community, and sacrifice.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hope-valley-1874-season-1-episode-1-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy

Spring has officially sprung at Hallmark, and we are teeing things up (yes, we said it) with the very first premiere in the Spring Into Love lineup, Two for Tee. Starring Janel Parrish and Chris McNally, this sweet, art-meets-community romance follows Tee, a Chinese American pottery artist reconnecting with her family’s traditions, and Will, the charming handyman who just might help her save more than the local community center. Directed by Hallmark favorite Michael Robison, this kickoff film sets the tone for the entire seasonal slate - and we’re diving in to see if it’s a strong start or if we’re still waiting for spring to fully bloom.Join our book club: https://girlsgonehallmark.myflodesk.com/parisFor full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/two-for-tee-hallmark/Visit our website: www.girlsgonehallmark.comEmail us: [email protected] us on Instagram!Check out our merch shop!Subscribe to our Patreon for more Megan and Wendy
