New Series For AMC Star?

Cameron Mathison has had his fingers in a lot of pies since exiting his role as Ryan on ALL MY CHILDREN. Most notably, he’s appeared in a slew of made-for-TV movies. However, his next one, Hallmark Movie Channel’s My Gal Sunday (premiering Saturday, January 25, at 9 p.m. EST) could just become a series! Based on the popular Mary Higgins Clark book of short stories, the two-hour back door pilot features the former soap star as a wealthy former U.S. Vice President who, together with his attorney-turned-detective wife, Sunday (Rachel Blanchard), attempts to solve crimes related to her cases. “Their relationship is very playful and light,” Mathison previews. “It’s a little bit MOONLIGHTING and a little bit HART TO HART.”

The difference, however, is that Mathison’s character is not the only man who loves Sunday. “Jack Wagner (ex-Frisco, GENERAL HOSPITAL; ex-Nick, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL) plays the beauty’s helpful dad. “He’s a very cool government security agent, which is why Sunday has all the training that she has,” Mathison offers. “It was my first time working with Jack as an actor. It was super easy, and we got along well.”

Should fans turn out in high numbers to see My Gal Sunday, Mathison says he’s game to continue with it. “It’s a very different kind of character for me,” he enthuses. “It’s a very light, nice, and family-friendly film — I had a lot of fun.”
