Congratulations are in order for Days of our Lives alum Alison Sweeney (ex-Sami Brady), whose latest Hallmark film, The Irresistible Blueberry Farm, debuted to record ratings.

The Hallmark Movies & Mysteries project, which Sweeney both executive produced and starred in, was the most watched program among households in the history of the network, and it was the second most watched film among total viewers in the history of the network. The Irresistible Blueberry Farm, which also stars Shirley Jones (ex-Colleen Brady, DAYS) and Marc Blucas (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), pulled in a 1.7 household ratings and garnered 1.4 million total viewers, positioning it as the highest-rated movie of the day.

But that's not all. Sweeney's film, which she told Soap Central was a "labor of love," was also the most talked about original movie premiering on broadcast and cable on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter.

"Thank you to all you amazing, loyal & fabulous fans," tweeted Sweeney, who also live tweeted throughout the premiere of the film. "It means so much to me that you keep tuning in."
