5 Perfect Tyler Hynes Hallmark Movies For A Girls' Night In
Owen Barnes
"It Was Always You" is one of Hynes' more recent credits. The rom-com premiered in 2021, and while it certainly follows some of the common Hallmark tropes we know and love, there are things that set it apart from other Hallmark content. The movie follows a rather unorthodox love triangle between Elizabeth (played by "When Calls the Heart" star Erin Krakow), her fiance George (played by Giles Patton), and George's brother David (played by Tyler Hynes).
Over the course of the movie, Elizabeth spends more and more time with David, and his free-spirited, free-thinking ways begin to rub off on her. David helps Elizabeth give up her grip on her Type-A controlling tendencies and pursue her dreams in ways she hasn't let herself before. This movie certainly boasts a valuable message, but beyond that, it's a lot of fun from start to finish and actually funny in a way that some Hallmark romcoms aren't. Plus, the chemistry between these two is palpable, which makes this love story one in which we're really invested.
That chemistry was no accident. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, Krakow said, "People really love Tyler and they're excited to see him. I ... actually requested him for this movie because I thought he'd be so great in this part." She was right, and according to Hynes, "She expressed that to me, which, I'm not sure exactly why she did that," adding, "I'm very thankful she did."
