Ryan Paevey Compares Being A Soap Star To Being A Hallmark Star

Posted by Erma Hippe on Saturday, May 25, 2024

Ryan Paevey's hectic start to acting on daytime television proved to be the perfect introduction ahead of enjoying more mellow days starring in Hallmark movies. Daytime television is known for its demanding shooting days, and soap operas endure more lively schedules than weekly TV series that only the strong can survive. Making it four years on "General Hospital" might've been the perfect place for Paevey to adjust to what was to come as a Hallmark star. "My introduction to it was fast, long days, lots of pages," he told Wide Open Country. So transitioning over to Hallmark, where their made-for-TV movies are typically shot within 15 days, has allowed Paevey to enjoy more "relaxed" work days, as he describes it.

Shooting small roles for television series like "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "The Client List" was a piece of cake for the soap opera alum who was thrust into 76-page shoot days as a rookie. The "Coyote Creek Christmas" star has scoffed at gigs where other cast and crew would freak out over a 10-page shoot. "I'm like, 'I did 76 once. I'm sure we can handle 10,'" Paevey said, noting how "spoiled" he's been to star in daytime television and Hallmark. It was a challenging introduction to acting but one that he adjusted to quite well, considering his love for action and adventure. "I don't sit still very well," Paevey jokingly admitted.
