Rueben's Ramblings

The Hallmark Channel movie Stranded in Paradise will debut on August 9 at 9 PM.

Tess Nelson (Vanessa Marcil from General Hospital) is a poised and confident human resources executive who is aiming for a well-deserved promotion. But when her boss informs her she’s being laid off instead, Tess is furious and worried about letting down her demanding mother, Mona (Cindy Pickett).

Determined to use a business trip to an HR convention in Puerto Rico to score a new job, she is discouraged when the trip is a disaster from the start, and an approaching hurricane makes it impossible to fly home. But after bumping into a handsome fellow traveler, Carter (James Denton from Desperate Housewives), Tess opens up to the possibilities beyond her desk job, and the couple’s adventures on the island bring them closer while the hurricane rolls in.

Here is a trailer for Stranded in Paradise.
