Sunday’s The Irresistible Blueberry Farm ranked as Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ most-watched program ever among HH, and second most-watched among total viewers. Alison Sweeney, who has segued from daytime star (Days of Our Lives) to reality show host (The Biggest Loser) to producer, served as star and exec producer on the project, roles she also filled on the net’s Murder, She Baked franchise and Hallmark Channel‘s Love on the Air. What’s the recipe for success? “The viewers of Hallmark channels, and the network executives, love rom-com movies and so do I,” said Sweeney. “It has been tremendous fun to partner with them, and having the ongoing relationship in which they trust me to produce and star in these projects. I’m particularly proud of The Irresistible Blueberry farm because 18 months ago I was reading the book from which it was adapted and Sunday the characters came to life on television, and viewers loved them too.”
