About “Love to the Rescue”
- This script was written by Sarah Montana who has four other writing credits including “A New Year’s Resolution,” “If I Only Had Christmas,” and “Two Turtle Doves.” She is currently in pre-production of a Christmas movies called “Rescuing Christmas” starring Rachel Leigh Cook (will be interested to see if this lands on Hallmark or elsewhere).

- Directed by Steven R. Monroe who has 54 directing credits including “Caribbean Summer,” “A Winter Getaway,” and “Marrying Mr. Darcy.”
- Nikki DeLoach stars as Kate. The last new project from Nikki that we saw was “Curious Caterer: Grilling Season.” I also noticed on her IMDb that she is in production (at the time of this recording – April 2023) in a new Curious Caterer movie called “The Last Suppers.”
- Michael Rady plays Eric Smith. We last saw him on Hallmark in “Unexpected Grace” which drew some interesting critiques from a few in our Facebook group. He works a lot outside of the Hallmark universe, including as a regular on Magnum PI, Chicago Med, New Amsterdam, but he’ll always be the teenage cutie Kostas from “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.”
- Shout out to Zip who played Bruce the dog. Sadly he doesn’t have any other work listed on IMDb.
- Loved that Kate and her ex-husband got along, successfully co-parenting.
- This was filmed entirely in Savannah, Georgia.
- This movie got a 6.9/10 from users on IMDb.
