Aimeé Teegarden (“My Christmas Family Tree,” “The
Rookie”), Gail O’Grady (“Criminal Minds,” “Revenge”), Andrew Zachar (“Eight Gifts of Hanukkah”)
and Chandler Massey (“Next Stop, Christmas,” “Days of Our Lives”) star in “Heart of the
Matter,” a new original premiering Sunday, May 15 (9 p.m. ET/PT), on Hallmark Movies &
Mysteries.
Andie Hodges (Teegarden) is an accomplished, young cardiologist who has great passion
for the patients she treats and prides herself on giving them the best of care. But the accidental
death of Henry (Massey), a young patient of Andie’s with an intellectual disability, leaves her
shaken and doubting her ability as a doctor. As she grapples with this loss, a confrontation with
Henry’s angry mother Gladys (O’Grady) adds to her despair and leads her to further question her
professional future. With a malpractice lawsuit looming and potential sanctions from the medical
review board, Andie begins to rethink her loving relationship with Patrick (Zachar), who has been
understanding and supportive of her. But as Andie and Gladys learn to overcome their sorrow
through forgiveness, they learn that acceptance leads to hope.
