Why Candace Cameron Bure Is 'Very Happy' This Hallmark Production Was Shutdown

The coronavirus pandemic has postponed many things, including a number of Hallmark projects. The network’s all-star actress Candace Cameron Bure had just begun shooting a new film when the company suspended all productions.

However, the 43-year-old told ET Online that she supports the decision given the circumstances.

"We were in the middle of filming a new Aurora Teagarden mystery for the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel, and we got in one week of production and then we were shut down, which I was very happy about," Bure told the outlet.

She added, "I thought that was the most responsible decision, and it was the right decision. So I left Vancouver and immediately came home to my family, and we were all hoping that within two weeks or three weeks we'd start production back up, but now watching the news every day, I don't see that happening."

She went on to talk about how the pandemic is affecting everyone’s job, not just hers.

"I think that's the real struggle with so many of us and the fear and the worry is our jobs. So many of us are not able to go and work and we're restricted from doing that, and so we think about all the bills that we have to pay and our mortgage and our food and everything," the actress said. "And that affects every single person no matter what your position is, no matter what your job is. That's the unknown part that's scary."

In the meantime, Bure plans to enjoy bonding with her loved ones.

"I'm enjoying the time being home because my kids are home, my husband's home, and we're usually all scattered, so I'm looking at the positives, and I'm so happy to be home with my family," she explained.

As for when things will pick up again, Bure can’t be sure. The star said that the network has been keeping her posted as things unravel.

"There isn't [a timeline] because the news is changing every day," she explained. "We're getting all these updates and it's getting pushed, so it's really hard to plan anything, but we're all in communication, and at this point, it's a waiting game. I don't think we're going to have answers for at least another 10 days."

Despite the suspension, Bure will still be all over the Hallmark channel this weekend as she stars in several of the movies that will be featured as a part of its Christmas marathon. These films include “Christmas Under Wraps,” “Switched for Christmas,” and “Christmas Town.”

"If that doesn't bring cheer, what will? I was delighted to hear," Bure said of the network's holiday marathon. "I have many, many fans on social media reaching out saying, 'Please show the Christmas movies! They make me so happy.' So I was happy that Hallmark heard the message."

However, the “Fuller House” star said that her family won’t be tuning in.

"I think my husband and my children will kick me out of the house if I turn my Christmas movies on," she said. "They'll be like, 'We deal with this once a year with you. We're not doing this in March!'"
