Christmas at the Plaza

The General Hospital alum’s next Hallmark movie that is airing, Christmas at the Plaza premieres on November 29. Paevey says that filming the holiday flick is one of his favorite experiences. His character, Nick, is a lot like the actor. The soap alum describes him as an “aww, shucks” kind of guy.

“Hallmark is really kind of keyed into an equation that really works…If repetitive and overly sweet are the worst things that can be leveled against you, I think you’re doing okay.”
