Jennie Garth (Beverly Hills 90210), Dan Payne (All Yours) and Corbin Bernsen (LA Law, Psych) star in Karen Kingsbury’s A Time To Dance, an original drama based on Karen Kingsbury’s best-selling novel, premiering on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Sunday, May 15 at 9pm ET/PT.

The film tells the story of Abby (Garth) and John (Payne) Reynolds, a married couple who have been together since their days as high school sweethearts — when John was a football hero and Abby dreamed of becoming a writer.

Now in their forties, Abby is a restaurant critic for a local newspaper and John is a football coach at their son’s high school. Though their seemingly perfect marriage is the envy of their peers, the truth is that they have fallen out of love, and plan to announce their impending divorce during their daughter Nicole’s upcoming college break.

But John and Abby’s plan takes a turn when an elated Nicole surprises them with an announcement that she has gotten engaged. Not wanting to put a damper on Nicole’s cherished event, John and Abby agree to wait until after her wedding to tell her about their divorce.

With the clock ticking and John and Abby helping Nicole prepare for her wedding day, they may have one last chance to again find their love.

Lindsay Hartley Previews Her New Lifetime Movie, 'Dying to be Loved'

Lindsay Hartley
Lindsay Hartley shot to daytime fame as Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald on Passions, a role she played from 1999-2008. In 2000, she was not only nominated for the Soap Opera Digest Award for Outstanding Female Newcomer, she wrote the song "Kiss Me" for her character, which she performed that year on the show.

In 2009, Hartley joined the cast of another NBC soap opera, Days of our Lives, in the role of Arianna Hernandez. The following year, Hartley signed on to play the new character of Cara Castillo on ABC's All My Children. After landing her first lead in a movie entitled, Perfect on Paper, for Hallmark Channel, Hartley joined the cast of Pop TV's Queens of Drama. Most recently, Hartley starred in Nightmare Nurse, for Lifetime.

Her latest project is another Lifetime Movie, Dying to be Loved, which premieres Saturday, April 16 at 8 p.m. ET/PT. She plays Jill Yates, a successful lawyer, engaged to Connor (Dan Payne), a self-made business man. Jill’s 18-year-old daughter, Emily (Paloma Kwiatkowsk), is a freshman in college. Extremely introverted and suffering from bouts of depression, Jill is thrilled when Emily asks if she can invite a young man to dinner. But Gary proves to be more dangerous than anyone thought when he is involved in a road rage incident while out with Emily and he ends up killing a man. Emily is also charged with the crime because she handled the gun – even though she was trying to keep Gary from using it.

Gary is convicted of manslaughter but released into the custody of his brother, a policeman, before going to prison. He convinces Emily to run away with him. She leaves a note for her mother saying life is not worth living if they can’t be together.
