I think actors move on. I mean currently we're in an writers and actor's strike. I think all of us would take a bad Swensen movie over no movies forthcoming. I was thrilled to see this movie. I am a Hallmark movie watcher as I am awake until very early in the morning and need something to keep me occupied. Something without all the gore but with a bit of interest. But most of all I am SO happy that Cameron Matthison survived his cancer scare. He has celiac as a result which is why these movies are so difficult for him to do. Mr. Mathison as a fellow Celiac I welcome you back to this franchise in the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Universe. As to the rest of the characters I was glad to see Barbara Niven and Norman (Gabriel Hogan), Tess Atkins returns as Michelle (Hannah's sister in "Sweet Revenge) and I cannot leave out Juliana Wimbles as Lisa who has made an invaluable mark return, and the addition of Julia Benson as Norman's love interest. All of us have seen our favorite movie series take a down hill slide from time to time. Directors and producers also make their mark on these movies. Kevin Leslie and Pat Williams should bear the lion share of the responsibilities for how this movie went over with the audience.

Perhaps the Director and Producer are to be questioned.
