Image
Katie Cassidy and Stephen Huszar revealed why they kept their blossoming romance a secret while filming their new Hallmark movie, A Royal Family Christmas.   “We obviously [were] professional and kept it that way. However, I felt as though it’s almost like there was this layer because he and I kind of knew this secret thing that nobody else knew,” Cassidy, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting the film. “And we could let our guard down when our characters were supposed to and allow space to fall into one another. I almost feel like that added a certain type of element to it. We just couldn’t help it .”   The twosome star alongside each other in the holiday flick, which premieres on Saturday, July 8, and is part of Hallmark’s Christmas in July event . The story follows Ava (Cassidy) as she accepts the offer of a lifetime to work at the Royal Ice Hotel where she finds herself in a surprise whirlwind romance with the most important guest of all — Prince Henry (Huszar).  Whi

The actor, who plays Jeremiah Fisher, noted that he didn’t focus too much on his character’s future arc while filming season 2. “I try to keep it as real as possible in that regard. Obviously, I know where he ends up going and what ends up happening. But I don’t emphasize on that.

Ahead of the season 1 premiere, which aired in June 2022, creator and showrunner Jenny Han broke down her attempts to adapt the book series into a TV show. “I approached it like, What do I think are the most important elements of the story to keep? And what do the fans care the most about? I am able to pull from all the emails, letters, and comments I’ve seen over the years from fans, so that’s how we looked at this adaptation,” she told Collider . “What do the original fans care most about?” Han added: “And then, also for me, what’s going to be most like fun and exciting to explore? Because I think as a writer, you have to feel like you’re doing something new in a way, too. That it’s not going to be just the exac
