Teri Hatcher Talks Her New Hallmark Movie 'Mid-Love Crisis' With James Tupper

Chatting with MediaVillage, Teri opened up about putting the spotlight on a later in life love story.

“I think when passing 50, part of the aging process allows both women and men to look at what kind of shifts you may be making,” Teri says. “Be it your personal, professional, or love life. Then there’s just dealing with your body, and what’s happening there. This script gives a nice opportunity to look at that and inspire the ability to shift, change, grow and have hope combined with acceptance. It’s all wrapped up in this movie in an amusing, yet weighted, emotional way.”

She also noted that she was impressed that the Hallmark script presented the same-sex marriage in a matter-of-fact way.

“It’s about time,” she shared. “One of my favorite things about [this movie] is that while yes, my daughter is a woman in love with another woman and wants to propose, no one ever talks about anyone being gay. People just talk about being in love. Mindy struggles with Rita proposing, only because, at 23, she feels they are too young, and she doesn’t want Rita to lose sight of her independence. Mindy did that, and she wonders if her daughter is making the same mistake. Her struggle has nothing to do with Rita’s preference of partner. I just love that Hallmark did that.”

Mid-Love Crisis airs TONIGHT, Sunday, October 10 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.
