Hallmark Channel’s series THE WAY HOME, now in its second season on Sunday nights, is a bit of a departure for the network. Hallmark is known for its depictions of multi-generational families, and THE WAY HOME, created by Marly Reed & Alexandra Clarke & Heather Conkie, fits this description.

Where THE WAY HOME differs from other Hallmark fare is that it is also […]Read On »

He’s also got a following from his five seasons as Sheriff Jack […]Read On »
