While her alter-ego has been making merry with Robert Scorpio on General Hospital, offscreen, actress Carolyn Hennesy has been hard at work on a film for the Crown Network. The greatest compensation? The sights and sounds of the picturesque location shoot.

Carolyn Hennesy On The Perks Of Filming Her Christmas Movie

Hennesy took to Instagram with a video and lengthy (and hilarious) post that reads in part: “For the past seven days, I have found myself in Midway, Utah. Hallmark tapped me for a…wait for it…Christmas romance entitled “Deck The Walls”, written by the wonderful Danny Pellegrino. This is some of God‘s beautiful country; I think there’s probably boatloads to do in this neck of the woods, although it’s apparently preseason. Not yet time for skiing or snowboarding, and I don’t fish (I don’t actually ski or snowboard either, but that’s beside the point.)

“So, how have I been spending my off days? To begin with, see attached crappy video of me, animal advocate, practically running down a young deer in an attempt to get a cool video.

Thrift stores in the town of Heber beckoned and have been combed through. Soaked myself silly in the “Utah Crater,” a 95 degree mineral bath which just happens to be across the street from my hotel. The fresh raspberry milkshake at Grannies Drive-In has become a daily must-have. A couple of cool little boutiques in Midway, where I’m housed, have also tempted me to the point of purchase. And then there was the “always Christmas” store, Kringles, where, yes, I purchased a few things for my annual Christmas Candy Party…

“Found the hotel laundry and a cool little market with fresh taquitos.

“And just this morning, I discovered Shout TV has an entire channel devoted to Speed Racer.

“It’s a beautiful day out and still early. But I’ve had my milkshake. The jammies are on and I’m in bed with Speed, Trixie, Chim-Chim, Spritle (the little fuck) and most importantly, Racer X.”
