Days of Our Lives Stars Alison Sweeney and Kristian Alfonso’s Hallmark Chronicle Mysteries Airdate Revealed — Plus, the To-Die-For Plot
Two popular Days of Our Lives actors — who happen to be very good friends — in one suspenseful new movie.
For a few months now we have been highlighting behind the scenes tapings of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ fifth installment of Alison Sweeney’s (Sami) series, and now we can announce the premiere date for Chronicle Mysteries: Helped to Death, as first noted by ET. On Sunday, February 21, at 8 pm, not only will viewers get to watch true crime podcaster Alex McPherson (Sweeney) team up with her colleague Drew Godfrey (Benjamin Ayers) in the latest case, they will recognize a very familiar face in the extended cast.
As we reported last October, Sweeney shared a photo from the set to announce that fellow Days of Our Lives actress Kristian Alfonso (ex-Hope) had joined the cast. “So excited that @kristianalfonso is able to join us for a @chroniclemysteries movie!!! Welcome to the @hallmarkmovie family!!!”
She went on to admit that they’d had some wet weather during filming — but nothing that slowed them down. “Rainy days in Vancouver on @chroniclemysteries. But we don’t let it slow us down!!!”
Alfonso revealed that she would be playing a role, much like her Salem character, as a local sheriff.
And she followed with several posts from the set, one that stated, “Working beside my #dear #friend @alisweeney on @chroniclemysteries @hallmarkmovie #canada.”
Plus another referring to her Salem character’s notorious trademark look — the sideways glance! “Hmmm …#oh noooo #lol the #sideways #glance 😳! Is she buying what he’s #selling ?? 😉@hallmarkmovies.” Incidentally, Alfonso left her Days of Our Lives role in November 2020.
So, what’s the latest mystery involve this time around? When people go to a self-help retreat the last thing they expect is to die… but in fact, the premise in question, is exactly the backdrop for that — death. Look for Alex and Drew to investigate the facility where not only current deaths have occurred, but past ones are uncovered as well.
Alfonso posted a video featuring the movie’s promo and said, “Here’s a quick #peek of what’s coming.”
And Sweeney shared the movie’s art by saying, “We can’t wait to share the next @chroniclemysteries with you!! One month from today Helped To Death premieres on @hallmarkmovie – so many wonderful performances in this!”
