Alison Sweeney is back on the case in the new Hallmark Movies & Mysteries movie One Bad Apple: A Hannah Swensen Mystery, and she’s enlisted a familiar co-star for the latest installment of the film franchise.

The Days of Our Lives vet will reprise role as baker-turned-amateur sleuth Hannah Swensen in the movie, which reunites her with The Wedding Veil trilogy love interest Victor Webster.

“I’ve always loved working with Victor — from our years in daytime to our work together on The Wedding Veil,” Sweeney, who wrote and executive-produced One Bad Apple, said in a statement. “When writing the script and developing this movie, I knew he’d be a great addition to the Hannah Swensen family and am thrilled that he said yes.”

(Read why Cameron Mathison, co-star in eight Hannah Swensen movies, isn’t returning as Mike.)

In One Bad Apple — premiering later this year, and based on the novel Apple Turnover Murder by Joanne Fluke — “Hannah Swensen has been asked to teach a baking class at the college in town, but her equipment is tampered with causing an explosion that the fire department rules an accident,” reads the official synopsis. “Soon, a colleague ends up dead and Hannah begins to put together the puzzle of the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder. Hannah leans on her friends and family to collect the breadcrumbs of foul play and put them together, and meets a different side of law and order when Lake Eden’s prosecuting attorney Chad Norton (Webster) enters her life.”

Returning cast members include Gabriel Hogan, Barbara Niven, Tess Atkins and Lisa Durupt.
