Describing the heart of her character, Hall says “She is a powerful, brilliant executive who knows that keeping people together and safe is the best way to be productive.” She adds, “Everybody is wondering if the character is like Marlena and the answer is she is very much like Marlena. She is sensitive, she’s mature, she’s the responsible adult in the room with all these young, great minds. She kinda has to keep stabilized. It’s lovely. Erin is a little more flashy than Marlena is, but you’ll see the same values.”

Filmed in Vancouver, Canada, Hall says of the movie, “It was a lovely shoot. We were up in Canada and I love Vancouver… we had a little downtime and I got to shop and play with my cast mates working at a different pace.” As for how she got involved, she says it started with a call from Hallmark asking her if she’d be interested in doing the part. “They sent me a script and I thought, ‘Yeah, that’ll be fun.’ We had a little bit of a tangle trying to work out the schedule for it, but it did and it worked perfectly. It fit into a period when we were dark at ‘DAYS.'”

“Lucky in Love” airs tonight at 9:00 PM, ET/8:00 PM, CT with a re-airing scheduled immediately following the premiere at 11:00 PM, ET/10:00 PM, CT.
