Holidays go hand-in-hand with Hallmark Christmas movies. And Torrey DeVitto seems to be a natural fit for the cable channel owned by Crown Media Holdings, Inc. Hallmark is the self-proclaimed “heart of TV,” a fitting place for the actor to call home.
The “Army Wives” alum’s first flick for the channel was in 2014. DeVitto played the part of Jennie Stanton, a party planner, in “Best Christmas Party Ever.” Things get complicated when her boss decides to sell the company to her dashing nephew instead of passing the reins to her. “He’s just getting in her way,” DeVitto says in an interview. Part of her character’s frustration is that the job seems to come naturally to him, while “she works really hard for it.” Of course, underlying tension is key to any romantic storyline, with the “almost breakup” climax usually revealed in Act 8, per The New Yorker.
As Hallmark actor Paul Campbell said to Empire, “You’re not really trying to reinvent the wheel,” He added, “What we’re trying to do is deliver that same feeling, that same story that people respond to.” It also appears as if the Hallmark bug bit DeVitto, since she went on to star in several other romantic Hallmark movies, per her IMDb. Hopefully, DeVitto’s relationship with the channel is only just beginning.
