Luke Macfarlane gets a yummy sample of some jam in this cute new pic from Hallmark Channel‘s Notes of Autumn.

The 43-year-old actor set his return to the network, starring alongside Ashley Williams, Marcus Rosner, and Peter Porte.

Here’s a summary of the movie: Ellie (Williams) is a fun-loving, classically trained pianist living in the city who gave up on her passion long ago. Now working for a hotel, she always seems to be getting things wrong when musical inspiration strikes. Her best friend Leo (Macfarlane) lives in the rustic outskirts of British Columbia. He’s a famous author with writer’s block who can’t seem to finish another installment in his highly popular book series.

Realizing they both need a change of scenery as the chilly days of autumn settle in, they decide to swap places, only to find themselves completely lost in new surroundings. Ellie gets tangled up in helping Sam (Rosner), Leo’s neighbor, put together a musical performance for a local fundraiser and comes to terms with why she quit music years ago. Leo strikes up a friendship with Ellie’s good friend Matt (Porte) and opens himself up to writing something different that really inspires him.

Their newfound friendships turn into something far more meaningful, and as both Ellie and Leo take part in the joys of the autumn season, they also discover their hearts belong somewhere very different than they ever thought possible.

Notes of Autumn will air TONIGHT, Saturday, September 15 at 8 p.m. on Hallmark Channel.

Luke Macfarlane‘s Hallmark Channel return has officially been announced!

The fan favorite actor will be back on the network during the Fall Into Love programming event, and will star opposite Ashley Williams, Peter Porte and Marcus Rosner in Notes of Autumn.

Luke‘s return was first teased by Ashley, who shared a fun video on her Instagram of the two on set.

According to TV Insider, Notes of Autumn will center on Ellie (Williams), a fun-loving, classically trained pianist living in the city who gave up on her passion long ago, and her best friend, Leo (Macfarlane), who lives in the rustic outskirts of British Columbia.

He’s a famous author with writer’s block who can’t finish another installment in his highly popular book series. They both need a change of scenery as the chilly days of autumn settle in and decide to swap places, ending up completely lost in new surroundings.

Ryan Paevey is doing his own stunts in Two Tickets to Paradise.

The 37-year-old star opened up to JustJared.com in an exclusive interview about his new Hallmark movie, which premieres tonight, and loved getting in the water for the film.

“Two Tickets to Paradise is basically Ashley Williams, and I both have a wedding on the same day, and we both get stood up,” Ryan explained about the flick to us. “We basically come to the agreement that, okay, here’s the deal. You’re going to go on yours [honeymoon], and I’m going to go on mine.”

He added that the two end up staying at the same hotel, which is very couple-centric.

“We end up at this love central hotel, which is kind of funny given our circumstances, and some folks, I think, mistake us for a couple. and we kind of run with it for a little while. There’s some kayaking, and there’s some activities. There’s a three-legged race and a lot more.”

Ryan admits that he first loved the movie all because of the “location, obviously, and also because there’s surfing in it, and I got to do myself.”
