EXCLUSIVE - Meet my Mom - Johnny Messner on his character - Hallmark Channel

Needing a new start after a recent divorce, Dana Marshall (Lori Loughlin, 90210) and her son, Jared (Charles Henry Wyson, Journeyman), move across the country to live with Danas mother, Louise (Stefanie Powers, Hart to Hart), in California. Jared is nervous about attending a new school, but when his fourth grade class is assigned to write letters to soldiers serving overseas, he finds a friend in someone he never would have expected: Sergeant Vince Carrera (Johnny Messner, Burn Notice). When Vince returns on leave, he decides to pay a surprise visit to his 10-year-old pen pal, and when Dana answers the door, its love at first sight. Over the next few weeks, Vince spends more time with the Marshalls, coaching Jared in baseball and getting to know Dana, who, despite her mutual attraction to Vince, is afraid to fall for someone who will soon be sent back overseas. When Vince is deployed again, Dana must decide whether she and Jared can afford to wait for his return. Meet My Mom, a Hallmark Channel Original Movie, premieres Saturday, May 8 (9 11 p.m.).
