I will not be watching Jen Lillie. Once she left Hallmark I was done with her.
Fair enough. We’re all entitled to our preferences. I have always liked her movies and watch them wherever they are being shown.
Just watched Paris, Wine & Romance with Jen and Dan [she wore loose clothing & always carried a purse in front of her belly; researched & found out she was pregnant :-)] – they were great together & I look forward to seeing their new movie – Love Dan’s natural French accent; hope his new character will have the same accent!
