Mark Steines Thanks Fans In First Social Media Post Since ‘Home & Family’ Firing
It’s been a week since Hallmark Channel unceremoniously divorced Mark Steines from its Home & Family, and today the former co-host finally broke his social media silence.

Hallmark Channel announced on May 31 that it had “parted ways” with Steines, who had co-hosted Home & Family since its October 2012 premiere.
