Hallmark, ‘General Hospital’ Alum Ryan Paevey Is Considering A Return To Acting
Hallmark’s Countdown To Christmas 2024 has been missing something. That something is Timeless Christmas star Ryan Paevey. Earlier this year, he stepped away from acting to care for his ailing mother. However, a recent social media post may give his legions of fans hope that the Christmas At The Plaza star could return to acting. What did he say?
Hallmark Alum Ryan Paevey Considers The Possibility Of Returning To Acting
On Monday, Ryan Paevey went to Instagram to answer a question that many of his fans keep asking him. He shared a gorgeous beach photo that looked tranquil. Ryan is known for his photographic talents. Then, he shared his update.
I get asked sometimes if I miss it…the way my life used to be. Not really, no. Hollywood paid pretty well, but was pretty taxing on the heart, mind, and soul. A quieter life, salt on my face from a surf, sand on my feet and floor of the truck from the beach, the smell of surf wax and salt water, the sound of hammers and classic rock in my my shop, pizza, margaritas…..lot of happiness in those worlds. Who knows, I may yet dabble in film and tv stuff….if I can even get a job anymore (Hollywood isn’t often welcoming of has beens aiming for a return). But for now, it’s a good life I’ve chosen, if a touch lonely, and I feel lucky. Fortunate wanderer indeed. 🙂
The General Hospital alum seemed to really weigh out what he enjoyed about his current life. He seems to relish his time surfing, as well as making jewelry with his Fortunate Wanderer brand. However, he does mention how the acting paychecks were good. But, it has been over a year since his last role.
What sorts of options are there?
Could General Hospital Alum Star On A Netflix Movie?
There was a cornucopia of comments on Ryan’s post. One fan wrote, “Christmas doesn’t feel the same without a new movie from you. Maybe Netflix will snatch you up. ❤️”
It turns out that Ryan’s team already explored that venue. “We tried recently, I’m not famous enough for Netflix, haha….they were like ‘Who? Nah'”
This is certainly no dig on the Unleashing Mr. Darcy star. Very few Hallmark stars have managed to transition from the network to Netflix. Most recently Hallmark’s Queen Of Christmas Lacey Chabert starred in Hot Frosty. However, the streaming channel is currently airing 10 Hallmark Christmas movies. Maybe they need to rethink this answer.
Ryan Paevey Reveals He Got A Darcy Residual Check
Speaking of Hallmark, earlier in the year, Ryan Paevey had shared that he was not getting his residual checks. Not long after, he went on social media to state that all of the residuals were paid ahead of time. However, he mentioned a residual check for Darcy that appears to not be part of that prepayment.
A fan commented, “I’d hardly call you a has been. You’re in constant rotation on Hallmark 😮”
What Ryan shared was quite a surprise. “Gotta love the ‘In perpetuity’ clause of old contracts, haha. Think I’ve got a check for $10.71 from the Darcy movies on my tale, haha. About a buck shy of my fav breakfast burrito…womp womp.”
Ryan Paevey fans, did you miss him this Countdown To Christmas? Where would you like to see him act? Do you want him back on General Hospital?
