PLOT:
Storyline via Hallmark: Emily James (Julie Berman), a former Olympic figure skating hopeful who walked away from it all, now waits tables and teaches young kids to skate at the local rink. When former student Nikki (Anna Golja) begins training for Midwest Regionals with energetic (and handsome) coach Spencer Patterson (Andrew W. Walker), Emily begins to wonder 'What if...?' when Spencer suggests Emily still has what it takes. Once Nikki's domineering mom Mia (Gail O'Grady) gets wind of Emily's intention to also compete at Regionals, Emily must prove to herself that life is about taking a chance: at the comeback of a lifetime, and at love.

love Julie Berrman will always miss her on General Hospital Lulu has and will never be the same
ReplyDeletelove Julie Berman general hospital really lost a lot without Julie Lulu is not the same
ReplyDeleteAwwwwe, that is very sweet. I'm sure many other G.H. fans agree.
DeleteWho skated for the ladies?
DeleteAndrew Walker makes any movie better. I am glad to see he is listed. Hallmark tends to give the female actors more credit than the male actors. Andrew definitely shines in each of his movies.
ReplyDeleteYes, Andrew W. Walker (he recently added in the W. in his acting credit) is such a great actor! I agree, it's nice to see Hallmark mention the male actors, too, especially in their promos!
DeleteAndrew was great recently in one of the new Countdown to Christmas movies, "A Dream of Christmas," but I really thought he was at his absolute best in "Wedding Planner Mystery" and "Debbie Macomber's Dashing Through The Snow!"
Thank you for commenting, cindy8w! Hope you also like Andrew in "Love on Ice." :)
Wow Yuri on Ice rip off
ReplyDeletethis can't be just a coincidence...
DeleteIs this a copy of Yuri on Ice or is this a copy of Yuri on Ice? :)))
ReplyDeleteNo person or company owns an idea, but that doesn't mean someone should try and make a shameless ripoff like this. Yuri!!! on ICE was a fantastic anime that took years of research to complete. It also went through a lot of obstacles to get aired in the first place due to its subject matter.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that Love on Ice shares the same premise, the same character ages, all while being produced right after YOI got its hype is certainly suspicious. This is no better than those cheap Disney knockoffs that you can buy to disappoint your child.
Having Love on Ice try to ride on the success of a Japanese animated show that blew up despite its initial tribulations is an insult.
This movie was in preproduction before the first episode of yuri on ice aired. It takes so long to make a movie that I'm fairly certain it isn't a ripoff and just a rehashing of a generic ice skating movie trope. Neither is revolutionary at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd on top of that I highly doubt that hallmark is trying to get in the yoi fandom market. This is a channel mostly watched by middle aged women. Not everything is a controversy.
Who sings the song in the commercial for this movie? I never catch the names.
ReplyDeleteThat is Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood singing Baby, It's Cold Outside in the commercial for Love On Ice. The song is from their latest new album Christmas Together. You can listen to the song at Amazon. It's available to stream, MP3, or you can get it on CD, with 10 other Christmas songs. Hope that helps! I wonder if it's in the movie, too... we'll have to listen for it!
DeletePlease explain to me why these movies are scheduled so close together. 7-9pm or 8-10pm? Some would love to see both of them in the same evening and this makes it impossible. I am sure there is a reason for this but I cannot figure out why. Thanks--Love all the great movies. Lis
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment, Lis. I know, it is hard to catch everything, especially if you don't have a device that records more than one program at a time. Thankfully, most networks provide repeat airings.
DeleteBut, to answer your question 'Why do they air at the same time?' Well, I honestly don't think they are considering other networks when they schedule their own premieres. They are simply trying to draw viewers into their own channel on Saturday or Sunday night.
Glad you love the movies, too!!! :)
Lis, I too have wondered that same thing. I understand separate networks premiering at the same time (they want the high volume time slot and are competing with against all the other networks) but I can't understand Hallmark. They have two channels but they are both part of Hallmark. Thankfully their premiers are on separate days (Hallmark Channel on Saturday and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries on Sunday) but during Christmas they premiered only an hour apart from each other on the same night. That was very confusing and frustrating to me.
DeleteI hear ya Lis, it's hard to get all the new ones in. Too many movies and not enough time. :( But, like Net said, luckily there are repeat airings. :)
Did Julie Berman actually do the skating?
ReplyDeleteWhere can I buy a scarf like one Emily is wearing with a purple cap ( it has teal, purple, & blue in it) when she is walking down the street with her friend . It is so pretty! Please tell me where to get the scarf & cap!
