Previewing The Secrets of Bella Vista

[Warning: General spoilers ahead.]

Just four months after Rip in Time and Moriah’s Lighthouse, Niall Matter and Rachelle Lefevre are back on our TVs in Sunday’s premiere of The Secrets of Bella Vista on Hallmark Movies and Mysteries.

The Secrets of Bella Vista

Based on the novel, “The Apple Orchard,” by Susan Wiggs, the film was adapted by Jamie Pachino (who had three Hallmark Christmas movies last year) and directed by Heather Hawthorn-Doyle, who was last on Hallmark with A Splash of Love at the end of July.

We weren’t able to screen the film ahead of time, but this is what we can expect:

Tess Delaney (Lefevre) gets the surprising news by estate executor Damhnaic McAuley (Matter) that she has inherited half of an apple orchard from the father she never knew and has a half-sister named Isabel (Helena Marie) she didn’t know about. When Tess visits the orchard and connects with her new-found family, she learns that the orchard is deep in debt. Using her knowledge as an antiques expert, Tess and Isabel work to unravel the mystery of their grandmother’s “treasure” that could hold the key to saving the orchard. And, in the process, Tess ultimately finds a new understanding of herself.

I’m thrilled that Matter is keeping busy with the one-off films, and perhaps if we’re very, very good, we’ll get a Christmas movie this year, too. It’s fun to see Lefevre falling into the regular rotation as well.
