In this exclusive interview, beloved actress Jen Lilley (Days of Our Lives, General Hospital) sits down to discuss her incredible journey from soap opera veteran to Hallmark Channel royalty.
Jen pulls back the curtain on the high-stakes world of daytime television, revealing the intense pressure of memorizing 40 pages of dialogue a day and the brutal reality of being "recast" without warning. She also addresses the elephant in the room: her move to GAC (Great American Family) and her heartfelt return to the Hallmark family in the new movie, A Royal Setting.
From hilarious stories about filming Paris, Wine, and Romance while six months pregnant to the time she accidentally turned down a date with Benedict Cumberbatch at an Oscars party, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes Hollywood secrets you won't hear anywhere else!
In this episode, we discuss:
- The transition from Soaps to Hallmark Christmas movies.
- The "10-second rule" that saved her career on General Hospital.
- Why she left Hallmark for GAC and what brought her back.
- The surprising reality of filming movie scenes while pregnant.
- Her advocacy for foster care and her new book, Called to Foster.
