Most recent

Pie to Die For: A Hannah Swensen Mystery2025

Lisa Durupt is the friend, never the bride, and she has built a 20-film career out of it. Across her run from 2012 to 2025 she has not top-billed once, which sounds like a knock until you notice how often Hallmark wants her in the room. She has shared ten films with Alison Sweeney, nine with Barbara Niven, eight with Juliana Wimbles, so casting clearly thinks of her as part of the furniture in the best sense. The setting is almost always a small town, nine of them at Christmas, and she plays it straight. Her high point is Time for Them to Come Home for Christmas from 2021 at 7.2, with the 2014 weepie The Color of Rain a hair behind at 7.1. If you have logged real hours in fake snow, you have seen her, and probably liked her.
