HALLMARK'S "RETURN TO OFFICE" - TALKING WITH STARS JANEL PARRISH and SCOTT MICHAEL FOSTER
/Love is in the air.. especially over at the Hallmark Channel! Office romance is in the air
as part of Hallmark Channel’s Annual LOVEUARY programming event. It kicks off with “Return to Office” starring Janel Parrish and Scott Michael Foster.
Liv (Parrish) is Director of Corporate Strategy at a global technology firm, who has gotten her work from home routine down to a science. After her employer acquires a social media company that connects artists, Liv’s boss announces an all-hands return to office with a rotating schedule, to allow the newest employees to acclimate. A stickler about having a work environment free of distractions, Liv settles on the right desk for her Mondays and Wednesdays in office, only to find that her Tuesday-Thursday desk mate has other ideas.
What starts as a funny war of words on sticky notes blossoms into a full-fledged, pen-pal friendship between “Ms. Monday” and “Mr. Tuesday.” Unbeknownst to either of them, Liz’s secret pen pal is Tom (Foster) – the new head designer, who is frequently late, constantly challenging her and yet also quite charming. When the truth comes to light and Liv discovers that a desk isn’t all that she and Mr. Tuesday have in common, she might find that a challenge is just what her heart has been needing.
