EMMY(R) AND GOLDEN GLOBE(R) NOMINEE PATRICIA RICHARDSON STARS AS A HOUSEKEEPER WHO PLAYS MATCHMAKER FOR ERIN KRAKOW IN "CHANCE AT ROMANCE" A HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE WORLD PREMIERE, FEBRUARY 8
Ryan McPartlin and Kaitlin Doubleday Co-Star
An online friend request becomes a romantic journey for Erin Krakow ("When Calls The
Heart," "Army Wives") in "Chance at Romance," a Hallmark Channel Original Movie World
Premiere Saturday, February 8 (7p.m. ET/PT, 6C). Four-time Emmy(R) and Golden Globe(R)
nominated actress Patricia Richardson ("Snow Bride," "Home Improvement"), Ryan McPartlin
("Chuck") and Kaitlin Doubleday ("The March Sisters at Christmas") star alongside Krakow in
the romantic comedy.
Ever the romantic, Samantha "Sam" Hart (Krakow) is optimistically trying to find her
Prince Charming on a white horse...even if that means going on bad date after bad date. When
she initiates an online relationship with photographer Heath Madsen (McPartlin) after making
eye contact at one of his shows, she never expects that Heath will send her a first class ticket
to visit him! Upon arriving for what she expects to be a romantic weekend, she learns that her
online relationship with the handsome widow was actually created by Heath's son, Donny (Ian
Andrew, "The Mentalist") and their longtime housekeeper, May (Richardson). Even worse, her
visit is a complete surprise to Heath, who is busy struggling to find inspiration for his upcoming
photo exhibit and coping with the pressure from his pushy manager, Celeste Jeffers-Johnson
(Doubleday).
Once Sam realizes that this romantic visit is nothing but a set-up manufactured by a
twelve year-old, she is anxious to end her trip as quickly as possible. A nasty bout of weather,
however, extends her stay through the end of the week. In this time, her non-relationship with
Heath has a chance to become a friendship - and maybe more, if Donny and May have anything
to do with it. Sam sees the softer side of Heath and Heath sees how Sam brings an energy to
his family and his home that has been missing since his wife passed away. Despite the nontraditional
start to their virtual relationship, could an actual relationship between Heath and
Sam be their destiny?
