“You know, we at our family have had the fire department called on three separate occasions. It would take forever to go through what each of those circumstances are, but like Ted Cooper, multiple hospital visits. And let’s just say, I pass out at the sight of blood,” she told JustJared.com during an exclusive interview.

“My great aunt sort of slipped and lightly dinged her head on the radiator one year, but it kind of opened up her head and her hair is just white. And I was the first one to come around the corner and I was like, ‘Ahhh.’ And then boom, immediate lights out. So then everyone’s just seeing my aunt with red everywhere and me, dead on the floor,” Kimberley said. “Fire department called, ambulance arrives, you name it. That was Christmas Eve.”
Co-star Robert Buckley joked, “No one is topping that story, so let’s move on!”
Merry Christmas, Ted Cooper! airs on Hallmark Channel TONIGHT (October 25) at 8/7c and streams next day on Hallmark+.
Here’s the full synopsis: “Weatherman Ted Cooper (Buckley) loves Christmas, but the past three have been terrible. This year, Ted has made up his mind that things will be different – this will be the Christmas things turn around for him. But Ted’s relentless optimism is about to be put to the test as he is faced with a litany of injuries and obstacles when he travels back to his hometown of Lackawanna, NY for the holidays. Within hours of arriving at his sister Kate’s house, he finds himself making a trip to Urgent Care after falling off a ladder while hanging decorations. While there, he runs into Ruth Mittens, his former high school science teacher who was always his cheerleader. He also reconnects with the charming Hope Miller (Sustad), except immediately she’s Dr. Hope Miller, with whom he went to high school and quietly crushed on from afar. Ted is optimistic that this budding romance is the beginning of his Christmas comeback, but his looming holiday bad luck still has a few curveballs in store for him. Luckily for Ted, he won’t have to face them alone – he’ll have the support of Kate, Ruth, and Hope to help him overcome the challenges thrown his way and finally enjoy a well-earned merry Christmas.”
