Maybe Lifetime will come up with one?
I think Lifetime would be more likely to come up with one than Hallmark. I wish ABC Family would get back into the romcom game.
As much as I'd like a LBGTQ story, at least I know why Hallmark may avoid them since they don't fit into the narrow stereotypical definition of what a "Christian" would want to see. I also get why we're not going to see a LBGTQ story on Up either. But Lifetime and I don't believe ION have that religious framework when deciding which films to show. Heck, so many others don't as well. I wish someone outside of LOGO would take the plunge. C'mon Bravo, I see an untapped market.
Is there even the offensive safe "pet" gay who helps the heroine with her clothes does at least one finger snap and a "girlfriend" in a single Hallmark movie? Or don't we exist outside of buying their overpriced cards?
I do think there has been the "pet" gay without ever being overtly identified as such. (In other words, I don't remember any of them talking about a boyfriend.)
Would Hallmark Hall of Fame movies, like Sarah Plain and Tall and the Secret Garden belong here? Or should those have their own thread?
Since Hallmark has taken over the franchise and they now air new HHoF movies as well as new HHoF movies, I think this thread makes sense.
In fact, Hallmark is showing one of my favorite HHoF movies tonight--Follow The Stars Home. It has a great cast, a variety of different stories highlighting the love between mothers and daughters, a sweet friendship and a subtle romance between the self-sacrificing mother and the long suffering stoic hero. It even has one of the rare instances where a woman considers marrying someone she probably knows isn't right for her and dumps him with in the span of a few days where both choices make sense to me.
