Rachel Boston OF “THE MORE LOVE ON HALLMARK MOVGROWS” (RECENTLY) IES & MYSTERIES Q: I’ve enjoyed Rachel Boston in many of her cable movies. Where did she get her start?
Wunmi Mosaku, Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson in “Loki”
A: Seen most recently in “The More Love Grows” on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, the actress has been starting to play mothers more frequently … which is appropriate, since she became a firsttime mom herself early in 2022. Her first big credit was the 2002-05 NBC series “American Dreams,” inspired by the legendary music show “American Bandstand” and featuring Boston as Beth, who became the sister-in-law of “Bandstand” dancer Beth (Brittany Snow). Boston went on to do guest shots on many series including “NCIS,” “Crossing Jordan,” “Las Vegas,” “Grey’s Anatomy,” “ER” and “Castle.” She landed continuing roles on “In Plain Sight” and “Witches of East End,” and in 2014, she began what has become her long association with the Hallmark brand, which started with the movie “A Ring by Spring” (still repeated fairly often). The Christmas season has yielded a particular amount of work for Boston, who has worked again for Hallmark in “Ice Sculpture Christmas,” “Christmas in Angel Falls,” “Check Inn to Christmas,” “The Christmas Carousel” and “A Christmas Cookie Catastrophe.” “Stop the Wedding,” “The Last Bridesmaid” and “Dating the Delaneys” have been among Boston’s other Hallmark projects; she also has made films for Lifetime occasionally. Additionally, Boston has had a recurring role on “SEAL Team” that enabled her to keep working while she was in later stages of her pregnancy, since her character on the series – Hannah Oliver – also was expecting, with high-school friend and Bravo Team member Sonny Quinn (A.J. Buckley) the father of her child.
