Lori Loughlin Announces Next ‘Garage Sale Mystery’ Coming to Hallmark After Network Hiatus
Lori Loughlin is making her return to Garage Sale Mystery after a years-long hiatus.
“Hi everyone! I am so excited to announce that we are bringing Garage Sale Mystery back,” Loughlin, 61, said in a Tuesday, June 30, Instagram video shared by the official Hallmark Channel account. “It’ll be coming your way sometime this fall. You can watch it on the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Plus the next day.”
The caption read, “Something mysterious is coming this fall 👀 Lori Loughlin returns in a brand new Garage Sale Mystery movie! 🔍 Watch on Hallmark Channel and stream next day on Hallmark+.”
In the comments section, several users shared their excitement about Loughlin returning.

When Calls the Heart’s Erin Krakow is rooting for Lori Loughlin’s return to Hope Valley sooner rather than later following her exit in 2019. When asked whether we’ve gotten “any closer” to seeing Loughlin’s character, Abigail Stanton, back on the Hallmark Channel show, Krakow, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly, “I sure hope so.” “I love […]“THIS is the BEST NEWS!!! Omg!!!!” one user wrote, while another added, “We love you Lori! ❤️ welcome back!!!” A third wrote, “You go Lori!! Yayyy, it’s the news I’ve been waiting for!! I can’t wait!! Bring on fall! 💗💗.”
Loughlin made her Hallmark Mystery debut in September 2013 as Jennifer Shannon in the initial Garage Sale Mystery film. The actress has not reprised her role in several years, since she was at the center of the college admissions scandal. (Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli were indicted and arrested in 2019 for their alleged roles in the so-called Varsity Blues scandal. She served less than two months in prison and completed 100 hours of community service in 2021. News broke in 2025 that Loughlin and Giannulli, 63, separated after nearly three decades of marriage.)
After the network cut ties with Loughlin amid the scandal, the actress returned for When Calls the Heart season 14. Her comeback was teased one season prior, which aired earlier this year, when character Abigail made a brief cameo.

Actress daughter of legendary Hollywood parents reveals extraordinary offer to get beloved cat back
By Zain Khan Published July 1, 2026, 4:21 p.m. ETSee more of our coverage in your search results.
Add The California Post on GoogleAn actress from a prominent Hollywood family claims she has spent more than two years trying to reunite with her beloved cat, Sheila — even offering the shelter caring for him $50,000 for his return.
Katharine Towne, 47, the daughter of Oscar-winning screenwriter of Chinatown Robert Towne and Hitchcock actress Julie Payne, claims she entrusted Sheila to Santé D’Or Foundation in the spring of 2024 after developing a debilitating neuromuscular disease and suffering repeated bouts of sepsis, mounting medical bills and housing instability.
The actress – who appeared in Mulholland Drive, What Lies Beneath, She’s All That and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and was married to Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam – even sent a letter in June 2025 from her attorney, Bruce Wagman of Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila LLP, offering to donate $50,000 to the rescue if Sheila is returned to her as part of a confidential settlement.

“Sheila was her primary source of comfort and emotional support through these years,” Wagman wrote.
“The sudden and permanent loss of this bond – particularly under circumstances that lacked transparency and compassion – has caused lasting harm.”

The June 2025 letter says Towne remains “very anxious to recover Sheila” and is willing to enter into a confidential agreement that would include releases of liability in exchange for the cat’s return, allowing “everyone [to] put the matter behind them, without further legal involvement or dispute.”
Wagman said the ordeal has had a “devastating emotional impact” on Towne.
The 47-year-old actress has endured “multiple life-threatening health crises” in recent years, including five bouts of sepsis, and remains “severely immunocompromised” because of a neuromuscular disease, according to the letter.
The letter says Towne believed Santé D’Or was a volunteer-run organization and that she placed her trust in members of the rescue.
Towne hopes the foundation will “be willing to take accountability for the actions and outcomes that have profoundly impacted her well-being, and to reflect on how its policies and practices might better support not only the animals in its care, but also the vulnerable people who love them,” according to the attorney.

Wagman also wrote that Towne continues to have “deep respect for the mission of rescue work and the efforts of organizations like Santé D’Or,” saying that is why she made what he described as a “significant donation in good faith.”
“Her sincere hope is that this can be resolved compassionately and privately,” the letter states.
The attorney added that Towne “has made every effort to handle this situation discreetly and respectfully” and had not taken the dispute public despite what he described as “significant emotional distress and a strong desire for accountability.”
Wagman noted that he first contacted Santé D’Or about the matter in February 2025 but said he had received no response before sending the June 2025 letter.
5
The letter further alleges Towne had hoped the matter could be resolved “privately through dialogue and shared understanding,” but that she has been “disheartened by the lack of follow-up and flexibility thus far, especially given the compassionate mission of the rescue.”
When contacted by The California Post, Santé D’Or Foundation declined to discuss Towne’s specific case.
“However, we can share that our rescue does not offer temporary foster care as a service,” the foundation said.
The foundation added that it does not disclose information regarding surrenders, foster placements or adopters to unrelated third parties.
Towne has previously said she rescued Sheila when the gray-and-white kitten was just two days old and raised him for the next seven years, describing him as far more than a pet and an emotional lifeline during some of the darkest periods of her life.
She has said she repeatedly sought to be reunited with Sheila and that the loss of the cat compounded an already devastating period marked by serious illness.
“I was devastated by the loss of my father, struggling severely with my health, and trying to get my cat of nearly a decade back,” Towne previously said.

Her search also unfolded alongside another profound loss. On July 1, 2024, Towne’s father, Robert, died at age 89 while she was still hoping to be reunited with Sheila.
She has since launched the Instagram campaign, where she shares photographs and memories of Sheila while appealing to the public for information that could help bring him home more than two years after they were separated.
“I asked for him back before he was adopted,” Towne previously said. “That’s what makes this so devastating.”

NYC roommate ‘horror story’ divides city-dwellers online — is it ‘horribly traumatizing’ or an ‘entitled’ rant?

Add The New York Post on GoogleThere’s a roommate rumble in the concrete jungle.
Hostilities between housemates Emily Dukes and Marlyn Rodriguez are seeping out from the door sill of their New York City dwelling and onto the savage streets of social media, where virtual spectators are eagerly taking sides in this chaotic subleasing divide.
Warfare between the two erupted after just one month of living together, when Rodriguez, the leaseholder of the apartment, informed Dukes, a subletter, that she would not be renewing the lease in July, leaving Dukes homeless.
5
Dukes, a 30-year-old NYC newcomer and full-time artist, rushed to the internet, claiming to be in a “horribly traumatizing situation” after getting “blindsided” by Rodriguez, who allegedly told her that she was “being kicked out at the end of June with absolutely no prior notice.”
The creative detailed the discord in a viral, 30-part video series — most of which she recorded from her fire escape — garnering millions of views and nearly $5,000 from supporters who’ve since donated to her GoFundMe account.

The contributions, according to Dukes’ fundraiser, would either help her “pay the entirety of rent for the month of July (if the [landlord] will even let me) on top of a security deposit” or be allocated towards her relocation fees.
Dukes even tearfully quoted the speech Mayor Zohran Mamdani gave after the New York Knicks won the 2026 NBA Championship this month, saying, “What is New York if not your back is up against the wall, your dream just out of reach, unsure how you’ll make your next rent payment.”

“Looking at those 99.6% odds that are against you and smiling because in that .4% New Yorkers find a way,” the transplant — who’s admittedly lived in five subleases over the past year — sobbed to a digital audience of over 4.6 million.
Rodriguez, a 20-something 9-to-5er, responded to Dukes’ multipart rant, insisting, “I don’t owe you s- -t,” and claiming she gave Dukes “plenty of time and notice to make arrangements,” after deciding to move out rather than renew their lease.
“The real issue is that the rent increased and now you need to qualify for the lease yourself, and that is not my problem,” said Rodriguez, “that’s just how New York renting goes.”
Neither Dukes nor Rodriguez immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.

The beef being cooked up by the feuding pair, however, has served as a feast for the eyes of nosey social media commenters, who are eating up the digital drama and calling out which roommate they believe is in the wrong.
“Get a job,” critics repeatedly wrote beneath Dukes’ posts, scolding her for crowdsourcing funds and sympathy, without earning a steady income.
“NYers also hustle like multiple jobs. Idk if that’s still an option here,” spat a local.
“As an artist in NYC who’s been through homelessness, I say this with empathy: you’re gonna have to put pride aside and work,” another advised, in part. “I have walked dogs, cleaned toilets, ran errands for a vindictive architect, babysat for difficult kids, cleaned filthy apartments and worse.”
Equally unsympathetic onlookers rebuked Dukes for attempting to leverage Mamdani’s message to the Knicks.
“Babe, I don’t think Zohran was talking abt you in the Knicks speech; he might be speaking against you bc you’re evil,” tweeted an X user.

“Transplants are a f- -king plague on society. She thinks she’s entitled to live in New York just because she wants to,” a separate faultfinder wrote. “She’s a ‘full-time artist,’ meaning she’s jobless. She needs to get the f- -k out of New York and move back to Ohio. New York is NOT HER CITY.”
Rodriguez, conversely, received an outpouring of support from folks agreeing that she is “100% in the right” and that she handled the situation like “a true New Yorker.”
“You dodged a bullet by not signing that lease,” praised a commenter.
“Glad you are able to leave this drama. Congrats on your new apartment!!” raved another after Rodriguez revealed her new place and new roommate online.
“Girl, I had a roommate just like her and, all I’m gonna say is I’m so sorry,” another said.

Dukes, who the internet has sarcastically nicknamed “fire escape girl,” is sorry, too.
After receiving donations via GoFundMe, the brunette has been able to take over the lease of the apartment.
But after taking social media through her week-long saga, she’s publicly apologized for oversharing.
“I fully take ownership — none of this would have happened had I not come to social media in the first place,” Dukes conceded in a clip shared this week, adding that she is a part-time photographer and videographer who’s “always” paid her bills on time.
“I fully recognize how tone deaf it came across by setting [up the GoFundMe],” she continued. “I didn’t consider that and I should have.”
Dukes then vowed to gift a portion of her GoFundMe monies to charities dedicated to both the unhoused and those suffering from mental health issues in her community.
@cozygroceryoh hi, just wanted to make it clear i take full ownership of the consequences of my oversharing on social media, and i will not repeat this mistake again. i could’ve handled certain things differently, and instead i allowed extreme stress and survival mode to take the driver’s seat; that’s 100% on me. to my community + friends specifically: you guys mean the world to me, and i’m so sorry for how out of control this became. this isnt the energy i want to bring to you, and i’m so grateful for your support this entire year, not just this last month. you have no idea how excited i am that i have a lease now and get to become a part of the city for real 😭 part of that will be financial contributions once i’m finally settled, but the other part will be active participation in both the neighborhood i get to live in and the city as a whole. this isn’t something i’m doing to placate social media; so many people have supported me this last year, and i’ve always wanted to be able to give back. now that i finally have stable housing, i’m honored i get to do that. i hate that this long chapter of my life had such an explosive ending, but i promise the lessons i’ve learned will not go to waste. i’ll see you soon 🖤

“So many people have helped me in this last year of living in the city, and I’ve always wanted to pay it forward,” she said.
“And now that I finally have stable housing, I am able to do that.”
