A fan-favorite “Dancing With the Stars” and “American Idol” alum is making her Hallmark Channel debut when Lauren Alaina stars in “Roadhouse Romance.” Here’s what we know so far.
Alaina’s Film Launches Hallmark’s Fall Harvest Event
Accoording to Deadline, the 2021 Fall Harvest Hallmark event will be launched by Alaina’s film, “Roadhouse Romance,” which co-stars Tyler Hynes. In the film, Alaina is a military veteran who meets Hynes’ character when he visits her hometown.
The description reads that “Roadhouse Romance” “follows Lieutenant Callie Jackson (Alaina) who returns home after a military tour, expecting everything to pick up right where she left it. To her dismay, her late Grandfather’s BBQ is struggling, and her high school sweetheart has moved on. She has a run-in with Luke (Hynes), a TV director passing through town, who teachers her that sometimes it’s best to look forward instead of looking back.”
Alaina, who was the runner-up on “American Idol” season 10 and finished in fourth place along with her professional partner Gleb Savchenko on “Dancing With the Stars” season 28, will perform two of her songs for the Hallmark movie, “Run” and “What Do You Think Of,” both of which are on her latest album, “Getting Over Him.”
Hynes is a Canadian actor who boasts several other Hallmark romantic comedies on his resume, including “The Mistletoe Secret” and “Sweet Carolina.” He also stars on the Canadian sitcom “Letterkenny” and had a recurring roles on Lifetime’s “UnREAL” and Syfy’s “Warehouse 13.”
