Will there be any more Aurora Teagarden episodes this year?

Hi! Sorry for the late response! I honestly don’t know. I believe the Aurora movies usually bring out 2 to 3 movies a year. So based on that I’m going assume we can expect at least another one sometimes this year.

Wishing you the happiest of 🎂 birthdays enjoy your day, pressies and cake xxxx M x

Awwwww! Thank you. I’m still being lazy and sitting in bed with a cup of tea. Waiting for my dad to get up. It’s just a usual tradition that we open presents together for birthdays and Christmas. I had some trifle and cake yesterday. Yum yum!!!! :-) ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Hope you’re okay, lovely, and thank you for the kind message.

I saw the first one the other week and I'm hooked, despite some of the dubiously sweet Hallmark trade dialogue. Good way to pass an afternoon before the teens come home though. Found them on one of our English channels & then more on a cable one. Never knew!

Yeah I haven’t see any more of the different mystery series yet. But I enjoy this one. Some in the series are better than others of course but still good for sure. I’m glad you were able to find them and give them a watch.

You're spot on!  He's definitely not evil -- self-serving at times, for sure -- and as someone who's been alive for a very long time and may be around forever, he's got to find his entertainment where he can get it.  To go to his comics incarnation for a moment, I always found it interesting that he'd vigourously declare that at times he didn't give a damn about anyone even when he quite demonstrably did.  But at the same time, he has certainly been selfish and hurt people over the years, and I liked that in his second miniseries he began to realize it and wanted to make amends.  As McNider said a couple of episodes ago, he's complicated.

Same here, I would love to see everyone work together, even if it doesn't last long.  And I desperately want Hooty to reunite with either or both Mid-Nites...the poor little guy's been waiting ten years for McNider to return!  I'm very much hoping Charles sticks around and lives but Beth doesn't lose her place on the team, and hopefully he can stay in a mentor role or at least go into a happy retirement.  I'm afraid for him in the season finale, though.

I’m guessing you have auntie experience, because the happy babbling immediately followed by milky jacket decoration is perfectly true to life. And Axel with the baby wipes… He’s going to get *murdered* 😋 (I mean, not REALLY, but whooboy!)

Thank you!  I think Selina isn't giving them quite enough credit for their skills, but they clearly downplay their own abilities so her reaction is entirely understandable...with enough time and experience, they'd probably make decent dads.  But yeah, Axel has some growing up to do, and unfortunately he is a Trickster so there's always going to be some troublemaking going on with the both of them :>  It comes with the job!

Also I just like Hooty.

I can think of four, Just The Way You Are, Mum's Day Off, another one with a couple who's daughter is getting married & they need to pretend to still be together & a Karen Kingsbury one with Corbin Benson as her dad..something about dancing.

Never seen Just The Way You Are. I forgot about Mom’s Day off but I didn’t really care for it so. Then there’s also Cranberry Christmas from last year with Nikki Deloach and Benjamin Ayres. But yes the one’s with a daughter getting married and such was Love Again with Teri Polo and Paul Johansson. The one with the same premise, the Karen Kingsbury, was with Jeanie Garth and Dan Payne and that was called A Time to Dance. Personally I thought Cranberry Christmas, Love Again and A Time to Dance was better than Rise and Shine Benedict when it comes to the estranged marital stories.

The reality aspect of working out an estranged marriage & willing to compromise is something rarely seen in these movies.

Yeah, I mean off the top of my head there’s only been 3 other Hallmark movies that have dealt with estranged marriages and personally I think they were all better than this one when it came to actually seeing growth and seeing the couple get back on track with things.
