Hallmark Channel Movie Premiere:
Fan-favorite Andrew Walker filmed his latest Hallmark movie, “For Love & Honey,” in Malta with co-star (and Hallmark newcomer) Margaret Cunie — and he told Heavy the adventure movie is right up his alley.

Andrew Walker Classics:
Before Walker’s latest premiere on Saturday, you can catch several of his Hallmark classics earlier in the day on Hallmark Channel. He co-stars with Bethany Joy Lenz in “Bottled With Love” at 6 a.m. Eastern time, then “Appetite for Love” with Taylor Cole at noon Eastern time, and “The 27-Hour Day” alongside Autumn Reeser at 4 p.m. Eastern time.
New ‘When Calls The Heart’ Episode:
An all-new episode of “When Calls The Heart” premieres on Sunday, June 2 at 9 p.m. Eastern time. In the ninth episode of season 11, Hallmark’s synopsis says, “Rosemary’s (Pascale Hutton) newspaper article creates waves when she questions Lucas’ (Chris McNally) judgement. Allie (Jaeda Lily Miller) discusses her birth father with Nathan (McGarry), and Elizabeth (Erin Krakow) realizes her little boy is growing up.”

The Latest on WCTH’s Mamie Laverock
Hallmark Channel and its stars have rallied around the family of 19-year-old “When Calls The Heart” actress Mamie Laverock, who was hospitalized in mid-May after an undisclosed medical emergency and then sustained “life-threatening injuries” on May 26 after she “fell five stories” at the Vancouver hospital, according to her family. Laverock’s family said on May 30 that the actress was “doing well” after making it through her “big surgeries,” but has since deleted that update. Heavy will continue to monitor the situation.
