Katie Lee Biegel knows her way around a kitchen.
However, when their relationship goes south, Emma retreats to a small seaside town in Mexico.
Rather than Mexico, Emma’s travels take her to Hawai’i.
As she toldHollywood Life, it was a “welcome surprise.”
Immediately, she knew she wanted veteran Hallmark star Lacey Charbert to play Emma.
“I think this is like her 32nd Hallmark movie,” said Biegel per Hollywood Life.
“She’s just so good and so believable, and I think she’s a great actress.”
Ektor Rivera, known for hisstand-out roles on stage, plays surf instructor and love interest Ben.
“I was so excited when they asked me to do a cameo,” she toldHollywood Life.
“I play myself so it wasn’t a real acting stretch.
I was a little nervous that I couldn’t remember my lines, but our director was great.”
Most of Biegel’s on-screen anxiety came during her one-on-one scene with Lacey Chabert.
However, the author’s real-life job on the Food web connection prepared her for her Hallmark debut.
After all, much of her time on TV has been spent judging cook-offs.
The TV movie aired in August of 2022.
For Biegel, who also served as an executive producer, it was “a dream come true.”
The last line, in particular, held a special meaning forthe successful Food web link star.
