A new, original movie premiering Saturday, March 27 (9p.m. ET/PT) on Hallmark Channel as part of the network’s annual Spring Fling programming event

Miranda’s (Ricci) Breakup Boot Camp, a program she developed to help heal the recently broken-hearted, is taking off. In her latest group is Ben (Paevey), a journalist, who despite his declarations that he’s completely unaffected by his recent break-up, agrees to attend as moral support for his sister. Initially, Ben is a tough nut for Miranda to crack, but she’s determined to get through to him. What she doesn’t know is that Ben’s boss has tasked him with writing an undercover exposé to see if this boot camp is the real deal or giving people false hope. As Ben attempts to dig deeper into Miranda’s world, she seizes the opportunity to break down his walls and their connection grows, forcing them both to face issues, long since buried. But when Ben’s secret comes to light it threatens to derail their budding relationship, bringing these lonely hearts right back to where they started. 
 

More on Ryan Paevey

A relative newcomer to the entertainment business, Ryan Paevey launched his career in December 2013, playing Detective Nathan West on ABC’s longest running soap opera General Hospital. His character instantly became a fan favorite, spawning counterfeit social media accounts across Twitter and Facebook as well as attracting thousands of followers. Paevey spent four years on the show and his departure became one of the most mourned deaths in the history of the soap.

During his time on General Hospital, he also starred in several Hallmark Channel Original Movies: Unleashing Mr. Darcy (2016) and Harvest Love (2017). In 2018, he appeared in Marrying Mr. Darcy on the Hallmark Channel and in Hope at Christmas on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. In 2019 he starred in three more Hallmark movies, Friend to Fiancé, A Summer Romance, and Christmas at the Plaza as well as a guest arc on BET’s new drama Games People Play.
 

Miranda runs a boot camp for the recently broken hearted. She begins to form a connection with new client Ben, who is also a reporter investigating whether her boot camp is a fad or a phenomenon.
 

Born and raised in Southern California, Paevey spent most of his childhood exploring the great outdoors. Acting was never on his radar growing up and he was happiest when he was outside, camping, hiking or rock climbing. Though he’s a true outdoorsman at heart, his striking features caught the attention of a modeling agency and he started modeling on the side for extra cash while working in construction. Aside from his print work, Paevey was featured in Christina Aguilera’s music video Your Body.

On his days off, Paevey can be found (or, actually, not found) scouting out uncharted territories for the occasional cliff jumping session or finding other ways to satisfy his craving for thrill seeking — sitting still is not an option. He is also a self-proclaimed nerd, loving video games and all things tech.
