I respect his reasons and will miss him! I wish him well and will be watching for his shows to come out! He is a great star and they all should be paid appropriately for what they do to make the companies their fortunes!
Again, Hallmark is destroying a good series. Mike and Hannah have great chemistry. There is such a concept and practice of dramatic license to change some facts of a book releated movie/series. Bring Mike back and make things right.
It’s always where the money is!!! No devotion to the network that helped you when you weren’t doing anything. You could’ve negotiated getting more movie parts.
Mike treats Hannah’s character horribly. No trust, no respect, hot and cold, talks down to her. She needs to stand up for herself again and be done with him.
