Lori Loughlin back to making wholesome family flicks after prison release: ‘She’s America’s sweetheart, regardless of whatever happened’Actors with Down syndrome to star in Hallmark romance movieHow to watch the best Christmas movies and holiday specials Show
Candace Cameron Bure is putting Christ back in Christmas. The “Full House” star revealed her preference for the Great American Family network’s values and discussed her move to the Tennessee-based company after years with the Hallmark Channel. “My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” Bure explained. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.” She believes Hallmark, for whom she starred on dozens of movies, “basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership.” Great American Family CEO Bill Abbott previously headed Crown Media, Hallmark’s parent company, before leaving in 2020.  Bure, who portrayed D.J. Tanner on the popular sitcom, told Variety in September “it didn’t work out with Hallmark” and “it just so happened that my contract was expiring when Great American Family started up.” The faith-promoting company plays holiday specials as part of its religious programming. Bure says it won’t feature same-sex couples as leads in them. “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” she asserted. Abbott was less transparent with the network’s future decisions. “It’s certainly the year 2022, so we’re aware of the trends,” he explained. “There’s no whiteboard that says, ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, we’ll never go here.'” First Lori Loughlin absolutely ruined our chances of ever watching another Garage Sale Mysteries, then Candace Cameron Bure jumped the Hallmark ship, which means no more Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. Where will we turn when we need to watch ordinary women with absolutely no criminal justice expertise inexplicably being called upon to find a murderer? Why did Candace Cameron Bure (aka the undisputed queen of Hallmark Christmas movies) leave the network? Let's solve this mystery. Article continues below advertisement Why did Candace Cameron Bure leave Hallmark?In April of 2022, Candace left the hallowed Hallmark halls to join GAC Media in order to "develop, produce, and star in movies and television across GAC Family and GAC Living," per a press release from GAC Media. Candace also planned to take on an executive role at the fledgling media company so that she could "oversee and curate programming for the networks as a whole." Source: Instagram/@candacecbure Article continues below advertisement GAC, which stands for Great American Channels, announced they would also be developing original content with Candace's production company, Candy Rock Entertainment. In a statement made about her move, Candace said, "I’m very excited to develop heartwarming family and faith-filled programming and make the kind of stories my family and I love to watch." Candace says GAC movies will "keep traditional marriage at the core."In a Nov. 2022 interview with The Wall Street Journal, Candace was slightly more candid about her reasons for leaving Hallmark. Candace specifically said that Hallmark "basically is a completely different network than when [she] started because of the change of leadership." Article continues below advertisement That "change of leadership" refers to the fact that Bill Abbott — with whom Candace now works at GAC — was also formerly at Hallmark. He left in late 2019, shortly after becoming embroiled in a controversy for refusing to run ads on Hallmark that featured two women kissing. Bill told WSJ that the timing of his departure was "coincidental."

In contrast, a spokeswoman for Hallmark told WSJ: “We want all viewers to see themselves in our programming, and everyone is welcome." In short, it appears that Candace's main reason for leaving Hallmark was because she found its more inclusive content to be at odds with her own personal brand. It's no secret that Candace is deeply religious. In her Instagram bio, she refers to herself as a "sister in Christ" and she religiously posts about her relationship with God.

Not every Hallmark Movie actor is in support of Bill Abbot's GAC venture.Back in October of 2021, actor Paul Campbell, who has starred in several Hallmark movies, tweeted a reply to a fan who asked Paul not to make movies with GAC. "I, like everyone else, will be keeping a close eye on the GAC content rollout. If there’s a noticeable lack of meaningful inclusion then, no, I will not be working for that company." He then immediately replied again with, "And FWIW — I will not be quiet about it either." Has Candace Cameron Bure left Hallmark?Bure, who portrayed D.J. Tanner on the popular sitcom, told Variety in September “it didn't work out with Hallmark” and “it just so happened that my contract was expiring when Great American Family started up.”
