We could have had our first public appearance of Kathryn for 2013 yesterday evening (Friday, 4th January 2013) but it wasn’t to be.
The annual Television Critics Association Winter Tour has been taking place this past week, and continues for at least one more. Each day one or more of the television networks announce upcoming shows and films. Key cast and production staff members take part in presentations and Q&As with members of the press.
On Friday it was the turn of the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel Winter 2013 TCA Gala. Bill Abbott (President & CEO, Hallmark Channels) and Michelle Vicary (Executive Vice President, Programming Crown Media Family Networks) spoke to those assembled about the TV shows and films that will feature across the various Hallmark channels in the first half of 2013.
Cedar Cove, starring Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings And A Funeral) and based on the series of books by Debbie Macomber, featured heavily. It is the networks first ever prime-time scripted drama. A host of film premières, including next weekend’s Nearlyweds were also announced. Many of the stars of the various productions attended the event.
But what of The Sweeter Side Of Life? I hear you ask. Here is what they said:
THE SWEETER SIDE OF LIFE premières Jan 19 and stars Kathryn Morris as a Manhattan socialite who suddenly finds herself single and returning home to work in her father’s small town bakery. Kathryn Morris sends apologies that she could not make it this evening. But James Best who plays Kathryn’s father is here with us this evening as well as Executive Producers and writers Janeen Damian and Michael Damian who also directed the movie.
He Tweeted that to me!!!
It’s a shame that Kathryn could not be in attendance,for this Event!! Outside of being sick,a death in the family or on Location, with a New Project,the last thing a actor/actress wants to do is miss an important event,that showcases a new series or a upcoming newly released film,with which they have a lead role in.
Its not as if,as far as we know,that the film & tv industry,are knocking down Kathyrn door with offers that are allowing her to pick & choose what new projects she wants to do!
As always,I wish the Best,for Kathryn in 2013!! I just down want to see her shoot yourself in the foot,by not being,in attendance! I know we all hope this will lead to bigger & better opportunities!!
