Chinggay and Patty end their hiatus with the first week of Countdown to Christmas. Chris McNally loses his WCTH glow, while Carlo Marks climbs the ranks thanks to his earnestness. A kid cancels out our tendency to hate on one of Hallmark’s staple actresses. And Robert Buckley tops the week’s Nice List once again. Bonus: Chinggay becomes friends with a Hallmark movie writer.
