While Dan Jeannotte is Canadian, he is quite used to sporting accents for a role and often he plays that of a royal. He’s played a British prince, a Frenchman, and any number of countless princes of unspecified European countries. All with convincing accents. He sports another in this week’s first Spring into Love movie, A Royal Setting. The film also sees the return of actress Jen Lilley, who had previously signed a multi-year exclusive deal with Great American Family.

Jen Lilley as Ruby
Lilley starred as Theresa Donovan on Days of our Lives and even had a short stint on General Hospital. Her first Hallmark film was A Dash of Love with Brendan Penny. She had previously signed a multi-year exclusive contract with Great American Family, but that contract has since expired and Lilley decided to work non-exclusively among the networks so she can enjoy working on multiple projects across networks. She previously starred in A Little Women’s Christmas and A Paris Christmas Waltz for Great American Family.
Fun Fact: Lilley and Jeannotte have starred together before in a Hallmark movie. They starred opposite each other in Paris, Wine, and Romance!
