Laura Osnes, an actress known for her work in Hallmark films, has indeed transitioned to working with the Great American Family network after her last project with Hallmark in 2021. Her latest project, “A Dash of Christmas,” released through the Great American Family network in November 2023, features her as a businesswoman who learns baking to pursue her dream job, assisted by a baker in a sudden Christmas bake-off.
Osnes seemed enthusiastic about her new project, sharing teasers on social media and expressing excitement about the film’s release. While she hasn’t officially announced her departure from Hallmark, her involvement with “A Dash of Christmas” signified her pursuit of new professional ventures beyond Hallmark Channel.
However, Osnes faced some challenges between her Hallmark projects and her recent role with the Great American Family network. She encountered difficulties in maintaining a job due to a medical reason related to COVID-19 vaccination. She was reportedly dropped from her Broadway gig in the show “Crazy For You” after refusing to get vaccinated, citing trust issues with vaccines. As a result, she was replaced in the production by another actor, Sierra Boggess. Osnes initially refrained from commenting on the situation but later clarified some aspects, mentioning that the article mischaracterized her and the circumstances surrounding her departure from the show.
Despite these challenges, Osnes successfully transitioned to working with the Great American Family network, marking a new phase in her acting career beyond her Hallmark projects.
