Hallmark Christmas movies, When Hope Calls, and Virgin River: See what the cast members of Good Witch are up to now
It’s been three months since Hallmark canceled the series Good Witch. While fans have been keeping busy trying to get the series back on the air for an eighth season, the stars have been busy with projects of their own.
Catherine Bell
She has confirmed that she will appear in Season 4 of Virgin River, and she recently shared with fans on Instagram that she is filming a movie for the Lifetime network.
James Denton
The actor, who played Dr. Sam Radford on the show, will appear in a Hallmark Christmas movie with his former Desperate Housewives co-star Teri Hatcher.
In A Kiss Before Christmas, Denton stars as a real estate development executive who wonders if his life would have turned out better if didn’t always take the nice guy approach. He wakes up to find his ex-wife (played by Hatcher) and his children are gone, and he is the CEO of his own company.
He decides he wants his old life back, but he only has until Christmas Day to convince his ex-wife that they belong together.
Kyana Teresa
Teresa, who joined the cast in Season 7, has also kept busy.
She recently finished shooting a Lifetime Christmas movie, Miracle in Motor City, with Tia Mowry. On her Instagram, she posted a photo with the caption, “I got to shoot a Christmas movie for @lifetimetv that was Black and beautiful. The cast and crew were so kind and loving, and I got to work with some truly inspiring people, @tiamowry being one of them. Thanks for bringing me on board this project, it was a dream come true.”
Teresa also has a role in the OWN Christmas movie “A Sisterly Christmas.”
Recently she posted photos to her Instagram from the set of When Hope Calls, which is being brought back for a second season by GAC Family.
She posted a photo of herself to Instagram with the caption, “What do you call a horse that lives next door? A neigh-bour! This beautiful gentle gal is named Rain and she was so incredible on her first set ever! Kinda made all the human actors look subpar if I’m being honest. 🐎♀️ Definitely Brookfield’s finest!!”
Sarah Power
Sarah Power will appear in the Hallmark Christmas movie Nantucket Noel with Trevor Donovan.
Power plays a small-town toy store owner who finds out a developer is planning on tearing down the wharf where she has her business. According to a description on Hallmark’s website, “Tensions rise as she falls for the developer’s son, Andy.”
Kat Barrell
In September, Barrell and her husband, Ray Galetti, welcomed their first child.
“Please welcome the newest member of our family, Ronin Barrell Galletti,” she wrote on Instagram. “All the things they say are true: we are incredibly in love, very tired and feel like we’ve lived both the longest and shortest three weeks of our lives!”
She later posted a photo with the caption, “Once one baby falls asleep the other decides it’s now his turn for cuddles. Bernie’s been so amazing with his brother and absolutely exceeded our expectations! He used to follow me around constantly and now he doesn’t leave Ronin’s side.”
Barrell has a role in the next Godwink movie on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries. In a film description from the director’s LinkedIn bio, “The 4th in the series of the true-life Godwink Christmas stories, Divine Destiny not only has two people finding love but a life is saved through a series of coincidences, known as Godwinks.”
A Godwink Christmas: Miracles of Love, will premiere on Saturday, December 11 on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries at 8/7c.
Bailee Madison
Okay, so technically Madison left the show after Season 5. But she did have a cameo in Season 7 and she will always be part of the Good Witch family, so she counts.
Madison will appear in the HBO Max reboot of Pretty Little Liars.
In May, she signed a deal to be represented by Jonas Entertainment Group, run by Kevin Jonas Sr. In an interview with Variety, she said, “I’m finally ready to take this leap. Music is a very personal and vulnerable side of me, and this new partnership with Kevin Jonas, Sr. is an extension of that. Now sharing this part of myself with the world means so much, and it feels like a chance to give insight on my heart. Everything that I do is a circle of love, and that comes with my art as well.”
Scott Cavalheiro
Cavalheiro will be a judge in the Toronto-based Crystalline Film Festival, which will take place in January 2022.
In early October, Cavalheiro appeared on Let’s Dive In with Allen Vaysberg.
The actor revealed that the Season 7 ending the cast originally filmed was not the one that was used.
“We expected to come back,” he told the host, saying everyone was surprised when they found out Hallmark would not bring the show back for another season.
