It Will Always Be You

When special guest, Broadway legend and music superstar Loretta Lindstrom unexpectedly leaves the live show early, host Thorndike Lundquist must find a way to fill in the remainder of the hour.

Though she has never taken any of it seriously; she's a receptionist, singing is something she does for fun. But Regan's tribute to Loretta is amazing, and Vance, Thorne's producer, knows the viewing audience will want to see more of her.

With the help of Thorne and her long time idol and new friend Loretta Lindstrom, she embarks upon a journey to stardom. Regan finds herself falling for the handsome talk show host, but though he is kind, Thorne is also domineering and it is inevitable that sparks will fly.


Really and Truly
When pianist Josephine Truly was invited by her old friend and songstress Regan Jordan to visit Madison City to appear on her husband's afternoon talk show The Lundquist Hour, Josie knew she couldn't resist. The only problem is that Josie has always been more of a shy retiring sort; playing the piano in the background for other people rather than being center stage. She had played for Regan back in their hometown before she became famous. Attempting to fill time and quell her nerves, Josie goes out to dinner alone the night before her scheduled TV appearance, unfortunately, Josie realizes too late that she has forgotten her wallet and can't even call Regan -- the only person she knows in town -- as she's just gone into labor with her first child. Josie is forced to explain herself to tall, handsome restaurant owner Randolfo Tarino.

When Thorne, Regan's husband, delighted at becoming a new father, decides to put the show into reruns for a week, Josie's performance is rescheduled and she has a week to fill in a beautiful Madison City, and a very interesting and fun-loving Italian restaurant owner to get to know.

At eighteen years old, alone, pregnant and with no secure future, aspiring singer Leandra Kelly gave up her baby for adoption. Doing what she thought was best for him, she handed him into the arms of her older infertile best friend who longed for a child.

When Lea receives an alert from his adoptive mother where to find Doyle, she approaches the young man at the Starlight Walk fountain and they spend the day together, but she is not sure if he knows who she is, or if he believes that they are two strangers who met in the spirit of the season.
