Skyler Samuels

On Friday, June 9 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, Hallmark fans will be introduced to a new iteration of the Aurora Teagarden character when Hallmark Movies & Mysteries premieres “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New,” a prequel to the series of movies that starred Candace Cameron Bure playing the title character. The new movie stars Skyler Samuels as a young Aurora.

In the movie, a post-college-aged Aurora is back home in Lawrenceton to be near her mother, Aida (Marilu Henner). Working as a teacher’s assistant in a crime fiction class, Aurora is struggling to settle on a thesis for her post-graduate degree. To support her schooling and life, Aurora waitresses at the local diner at night, which is where she shares her love of researching true crime with her friend Sally and police officer Arthur (Evan Roderick). When Sally’s fiancé doesn’t show up at their wedding rehearsal, Maid of Honor Aurora gets Arthur to help her search for him, but when they discover a body, everyone assumes it is Sally’s tardy groom. After it turns out to be someone else, Sally’s fiancé becomes the main suspect.

“Our viewers have been waiting for more adventures with Aurora and her friends – what better way to do that than to take them back to when the young, amateur sleuth was just coming into her own?” said Emily Merlin, development manager of programming at Hallmark, in a statement last month. “The ‘Aurora Teagarden’ franchise is a fan favorite and we’re excited to share this new chapter with viewers.”

Before being cast as a young Aurora, Samuels had starring roles in such TV shows as “The Nine Lives of Chloe King,” “The Gates,” “Scream Queens,” and “The Gifted.” She more recently appeared in episodes of “The Rookie” and starred as Gabby Petito in the Lifetime original movie “The Gabby Petito Story.”

The final Aurora Teagarden movie starring Bure, titled “Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Haunted by Murder,” was released in February 2022. Two months later, the actress signed an exclusive deal with Great American Family to make new original movies for the growing cable network. Bure made 29 films across the Hallmark branded cable networks, 18 of which saw her playing Aurora.

    • I love the thought of Eva becoming this huge celebrity hairstylist, and the future character crossover that can happen with fun cameos, too.   
    • One more point, researchers at publicly funded universities can profit from successful drug discoveries, but it is often a small percentage compared to the profits of the pharmaceutical company.  Thus, it makes no sense why both Xander and EJ would try to buy the hospital (and its right to the invention).  As opposed to buying a pharmaceutical company, which would make exponentially more profit from Versavix, as well as the many patents that they now own on Dr. Rolf's research! I assume the target audience is also distracted by the plot hole that University Hospital does not own a means of production for Versavix, and that's where the profits are found.  And, that if Xander benefitted from his wife's knowledge about a drug being researched at her hospital, and one day later he made a bid for said hospital, that's called fraud as it is akin to insider trading.

    • Some other thoughts on today's show. I don't care for Bill/Hayley as a couple. I think that Bill is sexy and looked good on today's show. But I don't think that him and Hayley really have any chemistry. They seem mostly isolated on the show unless someone like Dani is sparring with one of them. I do wonder what is going on with Bill's hand and why it is trembling. He is trying to keep that from Hayley. I also don't care for June right now. I like Jacob/Naomi but would rather see them do something else than what they are currently doing with June right now.  I liked Nicole/Dani continuing to support one another after the fallout from their marriages. I think it's interesting that Nicole asked Dani if something was going on between her and Andre and Dani lied about it. I do wonder if Dani/Andre are starting to have stronger feelings for each other (maybe even falling for each other a little bit). It does seem like stronger feelings are developing between them and I wonder where that may lead for their storyline. And I enjoyed Anita/Vernon as well. I like that he supports her and wants her to do the reunion with the Articulettes. It does seem like at one of them really doesn't want much to do with her after she reached out on today's show. But maybe they will reunite and there will be drama between her and her bandmates. I am interested in seeing who the show may cast as her bandmates. I hope they get a couple of good actresses in the role. 
    • Looks like the Townhouse to me, I've been calling it Paulina's Townhouse (which Marlena and Kayla also use).
    • Angela Bassett was also on somewhere in 1985 wasn't she. The NY soaps did so much for struggling actors. That's one of the reasons I will never stop hoping we get more of them.
    • Oh, yeah as the episode went on, I love that they gave a plausible reason for him to back out. Most soaps who use an idea/story point to define a character would just drop it and make it seem so jarring and out of character. So I love common sense...or the SilkPress craziness...won out. 
    • All these years later, and Shelly Burch is still one of the most striking women I've ever seen.
    • I really enjoyed today's show. Today was the most I have ever liked Martin. It was very sweet how he invited Eva to get to know his family. He has good chemistry with her (along with Kat). I liked how she got to know and started to bond with his family including Samantha who was understandably standoffish with her at first. I thought her styling Samantha with different looks at the end was cute. Martin's family is her family now too and I liked how he made that clear to everyone at pizza night at his home. The twins have a new Auntie.

        I think it will be interesting to watch Martin/Eva bond along with her bonding with the rest of his family. And seeing how others including Nicole and especially Kat react to that. I thought for a moment that Kat might actually show up at pizza night after Martin invited her but she didn't. I also enjoyed Eva trying with Kat. They do have chemistry together and they are cute, lol. I do think they could end up being twins, but even if they aren't I still enjoy them together. Whether it's sparring or Eva trying to bond with her or whatever.
    • Hahaha. It was worth a try. Alas.
