Maeve Quinlan spent 11 years at The Bold and the Beautiful years defending, comforting, and cleaning up after good girlfriend Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) — skills the beloved actress no doubt put to good use in her latest project.
Maeve Quinlan Provides A Sunny Update
Look for Quinlan’s lead turn in the aptly titled Lifetime Movie Network original My Father’s Murder In Greece, which premiered March 21. “It is actually my [character’s] daughter’s father, my ex-husband, who was born in Greece,” she detailed to Soap Opera Digest.
“He plans a father/daughter trip to Greece to see Grandma because she’s not doing so well and on the first night they’re there, he’s murdered. I rush over and in true Lifetime fashion, we decide to try and solve it ourselves — and not only is no one taking us seriously, but we end up uncovering old family secrets along our journey in finding the killer.” How deliciously soapy!
Just prior to embarking on the location shoot, Quinlan lost her mother. “She had dementia and at her age, I knew her death was inevitable,” she granted before chastening to add, “It was still just so painfully hard to watch and impossible to accept when it happened. Everyone knew she was my absolute best friend.”
Additionally, plans were underway for a star-studded wedding to her now-husband Derek Chatterton, senior vice president and financial advisor for a major investment bank. Courtney Cox of Friends fame, Scott Foley [Scandal], and tennis legend Chris Evert were to be among the 250 guests presided over by actor Jonathan Silverman, husband of Quinlan’s best friend, and former B&B castmate, Jennifer Finnigan [ex-Bridget Forrester].
Then fate intervened. “I auditioned for this Lifetime movie role which would be shooting in Greece for a month, and I wasn’t sure I should go if I got it. And then my mom died, and everything changed. Whenever I took an acting job before, I would always discuss it with Derek first before I accepted, but after my mom was gone, he came home from work and I said, ‘Oh, I got the movie and I’m going to Greece on Monday. Do you want to come with me?’”
Greece served as a “pre-wedding honeymoon” for the couple who eventually scaled down, and relocated, their wedding. Relayed Quinlan: “We got married on my brother’s property in Wicklow. It was a beautiful day, and just before my brother walked me out, it started to rain, but we didn’t let that stop us. Someone said that it’s good luck to get married in the rain, so we just grabbed umbrellas and proceeded as planned. The minute we were pronounced husband and wife, it stopped raining. It was the happiest and most beautiful day of my life.”
