HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL PRIMETIME SERIES ‘DEBBIE MACOMBER’S CEDAR COVE’ Episode #1003 - Saturday, August 10 (8 pm ET/PT, 7C)

THE CEDAR COVE COMMUNITY IS SHAKEN BY THE DEATH OF A STRANGER AT THE THYME AND TIDE INN AS ERIC’S (GUEST STAR TOM STEVENS) TROUBLED BEHAVIOR STARTS TO WEIGH ON OLIVIA (ANDIE MACDOWELL) AND JACK’S (DYLAN NEAL) RELATIONSHIP

In Suspicious Minds, a bloodied and quiet man arrives to the Thyme and Tide in the middle of the night asking for a room, inexplicably missing all of his belongings. Sensing trouble, Bob and Peggy ( and Barbara Niven) reluctantly let him stay, promising to work out the details later. But when he is found mysteriously dead in his room the next morning, the Beldons are stunned and upset and the Cedar Cove gossip mill begins buzzing with the news. As Sheriff Troy Davis (Garry Chalk) leads the investigation, Jack (Dylan Neal) is quick to begin covering the story for the Chronicle—even in the midst of rising tensions between him and Olivia (Andie MacDowell) about Eric’s (guest star Tom Stevens) bad attitude. Meanwhile, at Cedar Cove’s annual Art Walk, Justine (Sarah Smyth) is on the verge of a new career when she receives a prominent booth to display her work and is stunned when her dad Stan (Andrew Airlie) shows up to support her, invoking unresolved feelings.
