In my search for adding what’s missing from the site (yes there’s stuff missing, shocking I know!), I found photos never seen before from Mary’s play Stitchers and Starlight Talkers

Mae Whitman will join Mary McDonnell and Jane Seymour in The Twelve Dates of Christmas (working title), a six-episode limited series in the works for Hallmark.

The series is based on the novel of the same name by Jenni Bayliss. It will make its world premiere on the network during Countdown to Christmas and will stream the next day on Hallmark+.

Production on the limited holiday series has begun in and around Dublin, Ireland. It also stars Julian Morris (The Morning Show, Pretty Little Liars), Toby Sandeman (Running Point, The Game) and Nathaniel Parker.

Per the logline, the limited series follows Saville Row textile pattern designer Kate (Whitman), who lives in the quaint village of Blexford, England next door to her father Mac (Parker), who is long-divorced from Kate’s mother Delilah (McDonnell), a globe-trotting American always on an adventure.  When not at work, Kate looks after Mac, who’s recovering from a motorbike accident and is inclined to spend his days sitting in his recliner.

Unbeknownst to Kate, her best friend Laura (Lucy Eaton, Murder Maps, Staged) signs her up for The 12 Dates of Christmas – a holiday-themed matchmaking program in the days leading up to the holiday featuring carefully curated, yuletide dating experiences, in an attempt to get Kate out of her rut.  Lovingly coerced by Laura and longtime best friend Callum (Morris), a reluctant Kate ultimately gets into the spirit of the program and is caught off guard when she meets someone (Sandeman) who reinvigorates her zest for life.  But when Delilah unexpectedly shows up on her doorstep – literally – Kate and Mac’s life and holiday season get upended.  Meanwhile, Mac may be embarking on his own romance with local Evelyn (Seymour), a widow who slowly helps him step outside the confines of his house and open his heart.  As Kate wends her way through the 12 dates, she takes a circuitous route to romance while also making some important discoveries about herself.

“Erin and Davah’s brilliant adaptation of Jenni Bayliss’ beloved book not only transports viewers to the romantic English countryside but immerses them in the unique magic of the holiday season in London,” said Samantha DiPippo, Senior Vice President, Programming, Hallmark Media in a statement. “The amazing cast we’ve assembled to bring to life these richly textured, relatable characters who experience a life-changing Christmas is the shining star on top of this tree.”

“The Twelve Dates of Christmas is an aspirational, feel-good, romantic comedy blending the nostalgia of holiday traditions with a fresh take on the perils of modern dating,” added Carrie Stein, president of Global Scripted Television, Dynamic Television, in a statement.
“We fell in love with the idea of our relatable heroine venturing into uncharted, emotional  territory with the help of a Christmas cupid hand picking potential matches and planning 12 magical and entertaining dates with a surprising outcome.”

The Twelve Dates of Christmas is from Dynamic Television.  Executive producers are Erin Rodman and Davah Avena,  with Carrie Stein and Dan March for Dynamic Television and David McLoughlin for Metropolitan Pictures. The series is produced by John Wallace.

Our Madam President Mary McDonnell hosted the Red Nation Awards last night and here’s a few photos from the event.
You can find the entirety of the event on their vimeo channel.

It looks like ST-LV was very Mary McDonnell-centric and it’s not like we’re complaining.
My good wonderful friend KeeKeeSage was present to all the panels and took photos exclusively for Mary McDonnell Vault.

The very kind John at Trek Profiles Podcast let us share a few photos of Mary McDonnell at her panel during ST-LV (which apparently was packed and I’m super happy about it!).

Thanks to my good friend KeeKeeSage, who is currently at ST-LV, we’ve got some images of Lady BAM Mary McDonnell at the “Plan 9 from Outer Space” Live Reading that took place yesterday. Exclusively for Mary McDonnell Vault.
