Erin Krakow Talks Tyler Hynes and Spills Behind-the-Scenes SECRETS! (Exclusive)

Erin Krakow opens up to ET’s Deidre Behar about her latest rom-com, ‘It Was Always You.’ The actress gushes over her co-star, Tyler Hynes, who she says she personally requested for the role after becoming a fan of his work. Not only does Krakow dish on why this project is one of her favorites to date, she also reveals behind-the-scenes secrets, including what the prop oysters and key lime pie were really made of. As for turning the film into a franchise, Krakow says she’s hopeful because she’d love another chance to collaborate with Hynes. ‘It Was Always You’ premieres Feb. 27 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Hallmark Channel.

Best chemistry I've yet to see on screen! Love the scene with DJ Joey after he leaves to take the dog out!!

[@susanrosene8892]

Tyler Hynes is the best male lead on Hallmark. He has that special something that most actors can only wish they had...natural chemistry. Also loved Erin in this movie.

[@carol-annboshoff1416]

You're not kidding....gentle, laid back yet cheeky....and the tone of his voice.... they were so believable.

[@royjennings4031]

Totally agree! There is not a movie that I have not liked him in. Awesome actor. So smooth and makes you feel like you’re right there and would love to go hang out with this guy!

They were great together in this movie, so natural, so romantic!❤️👍🏻🇨🇦🌹

[@vicki500]

It Was Always You is my fave Hallmark movie. Chemistry between the 2 leads as others have mentioned, but Hynes' timing, delivery and dancing, couch exchanges with Krakow felt real, not at all like acting. He reminds me of Golden Era male leads who basically played themselves because they were such charismatic men in real life. No matter how many times I watch this film, I ALWAYS cry when he finally tells her the always you lines and I'm more of a "Okay, that's hokey" than a crier. Hynes already has an impressive portfolio, but this movie reminded me of Ryan Gosling's performance in The Notebook in terms of a career turn and shot at big box office dollars. I, for one of many I bet, hope so.

[@ep8755]

I am an outwardly cynical, closet romantic who used to make fun of my co-workers for watching Hallmark movies. Then I had surgery and was stuck at home feeling super low. I discovered Hallmark movies had the ability to perk me up and keep me buoyant. But it wasn’t all Hallmark movies. It was mostly Tyler’s movies; and I believe it’s because of what you described. He is so natural on screen. I love his dry wit and sarcastic humor. His performances seem very real. If he is playing himself, then he is one charming, witty, sweet, delightful human being.

[@lindamiles2463]

I agree with everything you both said. Plus, his passion just melts my heart. I get chills when their knees buckle when their dancing. If it's on, I'm watching no matter how many times I've seen it. Wow!

[@lynettetanaka8199]

I absolutely love Tyler Hines. He's one of the best actors around. I also think he's one of the most handsome. I have seen just about everyone of his movies. I hope he makes some new ones soon so I won't have to keep watching the old ones over and over. I'm definitely one big Tyler Hines fan!! Would love to know who his favorite leading Lady is.

[@dianarosenthal7737]

I love Tyler but this movie was one of his best. Not only the chemistry between these two but Tyler is spot on in his comic role. His timing was great. Funny without trying. There ying and yang was wonderful. These two need to make another movie together.
