Two more popular stars from the Hallmark channel have left the network and

Great American Family channel.

In May, Carlos PenaVega and Alexa PenaVega will appear in the movie “Mr.

Hallmark seems to be in the process of being "hollowed out" in much the
same way Lifetime is being.

Lifetime used to have a mixed stable of very prominent to semi-prominent
(think Gina Holden) "go-to" actress to headline their movies. But lately
I have noticed that Lifetime has almost entirely gone to basically
"nobodies" to headline their flicks. I mean, in some cases, it will be
somebody you will recognize from another recent Lifetime flick. But
other times, the headliner will be no one you have ever seen before (and
will likely never see again, either!).

The days of Gina Holden headlining a bunch of their films seem to be
over.

I think the days of Gina, Holden herself may be over. She’s got one credit
in the last two years and nothing coming up. And come next St. Patrick’s
Day she’ll be 50.

In thinking it over, I think Lifetime has kind of had Natalie Brown (one
of their few prominent "repeat performers" of the last few years) take
over Holden's place in their lineup...

or so...)

 Catfish murder?
 Serious question, how could I tell from IMDb that that was lifetime?
