Hallmark's new series features Jenna's high school reunion

The Hallmark Channel has launched a new series called "Hearts Around The Table." This series focuses on a family of foster siblings who meet every week for Sunday dinner. The first film, "Hearts Around The Table: Jenna's First Love," features Jenna, played by Ashley Newbrough. She is an event planner who reconnects with her high school boyfriend, Andrew, after he ghosted her. Jenna is hired to plan a charity event for a billionaire named Tom. When she arrives, she finds out Andrew is working with Tom. Jenna's family is concerned about her rekindling feelings for Andrew, especially her protective sister, Shari. Meanwhile, Tom also develops feelings for Jenna, creating a love triangle. Throughout the film, Andrew struggles with his past mistakes and his reluctance to express his true feelings for Jenna. Jenna, on the other hand, strives to support her foster siblings and help a new teenager, Rory, in their home. The film ultimately showcases the bond of family and the possibility for second chances. Despite some weaknesses in the romance, the film highlights the significance of family connections and personal growth. While the love story may feel typical, the emotional core about chosen family makes it worthwhile. Overall, it is recommended to watch.
