Actor Jen Lilley switched over to Great American Family in January 2022 after Deadline reported that she signed a multi-picture deal, which included starring in four films for the network. Lilley was a regular face on the Hallmark Channel, having starred in 13 movies, including “Eat, Play, Love,” “Mingle All the Way,” and “Snowkissed.”
In 2021, Lilley starred in one of Great American Family’s first Christmas films for its Great American Christmas franchise titled “Royally Wrapped for Christmas.” The following year, she starred in “B&B Merry” and would later star in 2023’s “A Paris Christmas Waltz” alongside “Glee” star Matthew Morrison.

All that said, Lilley had to defend herself for leaving the Hallmark Channel for Great American Family. After sharing Deadline’s report about her new deal with the network on Instagram, she faced backlash from social media users. After one user commented that the faith-based network was allegedly “hate-filled, judging and bigoted,” Lilley replied, “This comment couldn’t be farther from the truth. GAC Family is completely loving, diverse and does so much behind the scenes for the kingdom of God that I get compelled as a Christian to support them wholeheartedly.” She added, “I hope you’re not believing the rumors you hear that have an agenda, but I can tell you personally, I know this channel is full of genuine love, rooted in truth, and will do so much for so many.”
