Hallmark Channel Stars Debate Abandoning Network For GAC!

Stars such as Jen Lilley and Danica McKellar recently faced a major career decision. And that involved whether to stick with the Hallmark Channel or switch to the GAC Family network. But some stars have stayed loyal, noted Cheat Sheet.

However, in addition to Jen and Danica, Candace Cameron Bure inked a deal with the GAC Family. Since jump-starting its presence in September 2021, the new channel aims to compete with Hallmark. For instance, it focuses on “faith, family and country.”

But though some stars could not resist the lure of a shiny new network, many actors stayed loyal. And in all, nine stars decided that the tried and true benefits of Hallmark would keep them aboard the network’s ship. As a result, Hallmark’s famous upcoming Christmas season of specials should shine just as brightly in 2022!
