Girls Gone Hallmark

Megan sits down with Alvina August and Nathan Witte ahead of Falling Into Place, premiering Saturday, September 12 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel. In this quick chat, they share how they built best friend chemistry before the cameras rolled, the fire pit scene they helped reshape (and the dance they added to it), the bucket list item that was hardest to pull off on set, and their own real-life bucket lists — one involves Japan, the other involves Celine Dion.Read more: girlsgonehallmark.com/falling-into-place-alvina-august-nathan-witte-interviewVisit 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

Falling For Vermont is a cozy 2017 Hallmark fall movie starring Julie Gonzalo and Benjamin Ayres, complete with small-town charm, autumn scenery, and a best-selling author who unexpectedly finds herself starting over. After losing her memory, Angela takes refuge in a picturesque Vermont town where a local doctor and his family help her piece together who she is - and perhaps discover what she really wants. We’re talking amnesia, fall festivals, sweet small-town romance, and some memorable thrift-store fashion along the way.

Some Hallmark movies win us over. This one had us from the wrapped brown paper. Blind Date Book Club stars Erin Krakow as a Nantucket bookshop owner weighing whether to keep the store her mother left her, and Robert Buckley as the bestselling author who shows up to pitch his new novel to her book club under a name that is not quite his. We both gave it 4.5 stars, and we are still not over how neatly it pulls off the exact thing it spends the first act criticizing.

Tamera Mowry-Housley joins Megan ahead of the premiere of Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Prelude to a Wedding (Saturday, September 5 at 8/7c on Hallmark Channel). She tells us how she really learned to play the violin for Gethsemane Brown, where she lands on the Griff vs. Detective O'Reilly love triangle, what a new director and new writers changed on movie number four, and why this one plays like a locked-room mystery. Plus, a little intel about the Christmas movie she's shooting with Kris Polaha — and her very concise review of her co-star.

To watch or not to watch? For Hallmark’s newest Fall Into Love premiere, there is no question - we are very excited about this one. Much About Love premieres Saturday, August 29, and takes a page straight from the Bard, giving Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing a modern Hallmark makeover. Ashley Williams stars as a TV director who returns to her theater roots for a Shakespeare festival, only to find herself once again trading barbs - and perhaps falling in love - with an old flame played by Niall Matter. Lend us your ears as we review Much About Love and find out whether all’s well that ends well for Hallmark’s latest literary adaptation.

Paris Is Always a Good Idea Episode 6 brings Chelsea’s very long, very international search for love to an end, but does the finale stick the landing?

Hallmark Channel officially kicks off Fall Into Love 2026 with Love Finds You, starring Aimee Teegarden and Chris McNally. Teegarden plays Alex, a jewelry designer who receives a mislabeled package and becomes convinced the contents point her toward her ideal man. Enter Jack (McNally), the delivery driver who gets roped into a citywide hunt for the rightful owner and, naturally, helps Alex figure out what she actually wants along the way. It's a scavenger-hunt rom-com premise, which is one of our favorite Hallmark structures when it works, because it forces two people into a car together and gives them somewhere to go. We'll get into whether the search pays off, whether the package gimmick holds up for a full 84 minutes, and how Aimee Teegarden's long-awaited Hallmark return lands.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/love-finds-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

In Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode 5, "Marcos Revisited," Chelsea is packing her emotional baggage and heading to Spain for one last trip down relationship memory lane. Encouraged by Knightly to finally get answers about her past, Chelsea reunites with Marcos at his family's vineyard - but closure comes with an unexpected opportunity that could change everything back home. Meanwhile, Knightly faces some difficult realities on his own, leading Chelsea to make one very big decision as we head toward the season finale.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/paris-is-always-a-good-idea-episode-5/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 Channel wraps up its three-movie Hallmark Birthday Celebration lineup with Aussie at Heart, starring Rhiannon Fish and Daniel Lissing. Fish stars as Samara, a former lawyer turned event planner who heads to Queensland to plan a couple’s anniversary celebration - only to find herself working alongside Nate (Lissing), her former coworker, longtime rival, and a man with whom she clearly has some unfinished business. With an Australian backdrop, a rivals-to-lovers setup, and two familiar Hallmark stars at the center of it all, Aussie at Heart closes out Hallmark’s August birthday celebration. Our review will break down the chemistry, the Queensland scenery, and whether this final movie in the three-film lineup saved the best for last.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/aussie-at-heart-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

Hallmark's Fall Into Love 2026 lineup is here. Eight new movies run from August 22 through October 10. That is a long block for Fall Into Love, and it stretches across three months. In this episode of Girls Gone Hallmark, Megan and Wendy break down every title before a single one airs. First impressions only.

If Hallmark wanted to grab our attention during its 25th Birthday Celebration, pairing fan favorite Kimberley Sustad with the long-awaited return of Jesse Metcalfe is certainly one way to do it. Add in a nostalgic '90s boy band reunion, beach concert vibes, and a music-filled romance, and this feels like one of the network's biggest swings of the year. Kimberley rarely misses, Jesse is back on Hallmark for the first time in years, and we're more than a little curious to see if this unexpected pairing can hit all the right notes. Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/absolutely-devoted-to-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

In this episode of the Girls Gone Hallmark podcast, we're breaking down the emotional conversation between Chelsea and her dad, Annabelle's quietly important role in the story, and why the chemistry between Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster keeps stealing every scene.

There is no such thing as an emergency podcast when you cover Hallmark movies. This week got close.Megan was traveling the day all of this news dropped, frantically texting Wendy from the road while Wendy tried to figure out where any of it was even coming from. Hallmark Channel turned 25, and the network celebrated by telling us almost everything about Christmas. Between a sold-out birthday event at 92NY and a virtual Television Critics Association panel, we got a Countdown to Christmas start date, three premiere dates, three brand-new movies, two Halloween movies and a new Hallmark+ series.Read the full roundup with every date, cast and synopsis: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/hallmark-news-august-2026-countdown-to-christmas-announcements/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 Summer Nights continues with Toast to Italy, premiering August 1 and pairing Hallmark favorite Will Kemp with Torrey DeVitto for a romance set among Italy’s vineyards. When Jenny travels overseas in search of a legendary bottle of “Love Wine” for her sister’s wedding, she crosses paths with Arrigo, who’s on the very same mission. Naturally, the search for one famous bottle turns into a journey of self-discovery, breathtaking scenery, and maybe even a little romance of their own. Join us as we uncork Hallmark’s latest European adventure to see whether this vintage is worth savoring – or if it should have stayed in the cellar.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/toast-to-italy-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

Chelsea's impulsive trip to Ireland takes center stage in Paris Is Always a Good Idea Episode 2: "Colin Revisited." Armed with a pair of wildly impractical heels and a decade's worth of "what ifs," Chelsea reconnects with her former flame, Colin, only to discover that sometimes closure looks very different than the fantasy you've been carrying around in your head. Meanwhile, Annabelle continues proving she's the MVP of this book adaptation, Jason Knightly keeps finding new ways to insert himself into Chelsea's journey (and we're certainly not complaining), and we're starting to think this series isn't actually about revisiting old lovers at all. Join us as we unpack one of Hallmark's most emotionally mature episodes in a long time - and yes, we absolutely have thoughts about that dinner date.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/paris-is-always-a-good-idea-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

In our Paris is Always a Good Idea Episode 1 review, we're diving into Hallmark+'s new series inspired by Jenn McKinlay's novel and starring Lacey Chabert and Scott Michael Foster. What begins as a business trip to Paris quickly becomes a deeply personal journey as Chelsea revisits the unfinished wishes her late mother left behind—and perhaps a few former loves along the way. We're breaking down the emotional premiere, the undeniable chemistry between Chelsea and Jason Knightly, Hallmark's unexpected obsession with the word "lovers," and why this may be one of the network's most mature, emotionally layered premieres yet.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/paris-is-always-a-good-idea-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

We've reached the final stop on our Christmas in July journey through Hallmark Hall of Fame movies with November Christmas. Starring Sam Elliott, John Corbett, Sarah Paulson, Karen Allen, and a young Emily Alyn Lind, this emotional drama tells the story of a father determined to give his seriously ill daughter one last chance to experience the magic of the holidays. With the help of an entire community, Halloween and Christmas arrive months early in a heartfelt effort to fill her remaining days with joy. It's a very different kind of Hallmark Christmas movie - and a fitting way to wrap up our look back at some of the network's most prestigious holiday films.Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/november-christmas-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

Hallmark's August lineup may look a little different than we expected. Instead of continuing the Summer Nights programming event, the Hallmark Channel is celebrating its 25th birthday with three brand-new movie premieres to kick off the month. Let's dive into the August premieres featuring fan favorites like Will Kemp, Kimberley Sustad, Daniel Lissing, and the return of Jesse Metcalf. We'll break down the plots, what we're excited for and the ones we're approaching with some healthy skepticism.Find full show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/august-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

Hallmark’s Christmas in July wraps up with Love Under the Mistletoe, the fourth and final premiere of the event. Starring Jen Lilley and Nick Bateman, the movie follows former high school crushes Grace and Ryan as they work together to save a beloved Christmas charity fundraiser – while repeatedly finding themselves beneath some very conveniently placed mistletoe. Or is it holly? You know we’ll be paying close attention! It’s also Jen Lilley’s second Hallmark movie of 2026, giving fans another chance to see her back on the network. But before we hit play, there’s one question we can’t shake after this year’s Christmas in July lineup: is this a true Hallmark original… or are we about to unwrap yet another acquisition dressed up with a Hallmark bow?

This week, we're continuing our Hallmark Hall of Fame Christmas retrospective with A Season for Miracles. Originally premiering on CBS in 1999, the film stars Carla Gugino, David Conrad, Patty Duke, Laura Dern, Kathy Baker, and a scene-stealing young Mae Whitman.

As Hallmark's Christmas in July celebration reaches its halfway point, we're heading to the mountains for Snowbound for the Holidays, a cozy romance that pairs Vanessa Lengies and Marcus Rosner in a story filled with snowy scenery, Christmas charm, and a career-versus-love dilemma.

This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, we’re climbing aboard the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie The Christmas Train. Starring Dermot Mulroney, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Danny Glover, and Joan Cusack, this holiday drama follows two former war correspondents who unexpectedly reunite on a cross-country train journey from Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles just days before Christmas. As old feelings resurface and a colorful cast of fellow passengers fills the ride with romance, mystery, and holiday spirit, we break down whether this Hall of Fame adaptation lives up to its prestigious billing – or if this Christmas train should have stayed at the station.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-christmas-train-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

This week, Hallmark’s 2026 Christmas in July celebration continues with O Little Christmas Market, the second movie in this year’s lineup. At the center is a charming small-town Christmas market, a talented miniature artist determined to protect it, and an unexpected meet-cute that quickly becomes a lot more complicated than either person bargained for.

This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, we're revisiting the 2012 Hallmark Hall of Fame film Christmas With Holly, which originally premiered on ABC on December 9, 2012. Based on the novel Christmas Eve at Friday Harbor, the story follows Maggie, who escapes to a small Washington town after being left at the altar, where she meets Mark, his silent young niece Holly, and a family still learning how to live after heartbreaking loss.

Christmas in July is officially back, and Hallmark is kicking off the festivities with Christmas Under Construction, starring Jessica Lowndes and Daniel Lissing. Now... if you found yourself experiencing a tiny case of déjà vu while watching this one, just know you're probably not imagining things. We'll get into all of that later, but first we're diving into the movie itself: a reality home renovation show, a live Christmas special, a relationship that's in much worse shape than the cabin they're remodeling, and Daniel Lissing showing up to remind everyone why Hallmark fans are always happy to see him. Did Hallmark build a solid start to Christmas in July, or is this project already in need of a renovation? Find full episode shownotes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/christmas-under-construction-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

As we wrap up the series finale of The Way Home - while still holding onto hope that this incredible story finds a new home - we couldn't imagine closing this chapter without one final Listener Mailbag. From the very beginning, you've brought thoughtful theories, brilliant observations, emotional reactions, and the kind of eagle-eyed catches that constantly made us look at the show in a whole new way. We're diving into your reactions to the finale, revisiting a few lingering questions, sharing your favorite theories, and reflecting on the legacy of a series that brought together one of the smartest, kindest fan communities we've ever been part of.

This week on Girls Gone Hallmark, we're discussing The Love Heist, Hallmark's stylish Summer Nights romance starring Lyndsy Fonseca and Peter Porte. What starts as a missing dress quickly turns into a lighthearted mystery filled with fashion, gala drama, vintage treasures, and plenty of flirting. We break down the chemistry between Kayli and Mills, debate the various fashion choices on display, discuss whether Hallmark finally found a fresh spin on a familiar formula, and share our thoughts on everything from candy necklaces to stolen couture.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 10, "Ahead By a Century," had the impossible task of wrapping up four seasons of time travel, family mysteries, and enough emotional baggage to fill the Lingermore tunnels - and somehow it mostly pulled it off. Along the way, the finale reminded us what's most important, giving several characters one last chance to say the things they needed to say and spend a few more precious minutes with the people they love. This week, we're unpacking the long-awaited answers, the handful of mysteries that still have us scratching our heads, and the questions that remain even after the final credits rolled. From Elliot's fate and Fern's heartbreaking final chapter to Alice's future, Jacob's journey, and a finale packed with callbacks to the people who shaped the Landry family story, there's a lot to discuss.

The Way Home has never exactly been gentle with our emotions, but this episode feels like the show looked us directly in the eye and said, "Good luck making it through the next week." As the penultimate episode of The Way Home Season 4 Episode 9, "Auld Lang Syne" starts connecting threads we've been pulling on all season long while raising the stakes for nearly every character we love. This week, we're diving into long-awaited answers, heartbreaking revelations about Tessa, relationships pushed to their limits, and a New Year's Eve that changes everything. Plus, we have a lot to say about one mystery reveal that landed a little differently than we expected - and an ending that left us desperately clinging to the belief that Hallmark still believes in happy endings.Find full episode show notes here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-season-4-episode-9/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

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.

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.

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

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. Let's get into it.For full episode show notes click here: https://www.girlsgonehallmark.com/the-way-home-listener-mailbag-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

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
