The new flick, which also stars Good Trouble actor Beau Mirchoff, will mark Hunter’s Hallmark debut.
It’s been a few months since she exited The Young and the Restless but only a few weeks since her role of Summer Newman was recast with actress Allison Lanier.
Hunter’s character had love with Kyle Abbott (played by Michael Mealor), but she’ll be telling a whole new love story come Saturday.
In Hidden Gems, “Addie (Hunter) is the maid of honor for her sister’s destination wedding in Hawaii,” the synopsis shares.

It continues: “During a paddleboard yoga session, Addie loses the most cherished family heirloom: her grandmother’s ring, in the ocean.
“Unwilling to accept this misfortune, Addie hires a local dive instructor, Jack (Beau), to search for her lost treasure.
“Lone wolf Jack immediately clashes with Addie when she insists that she search with him, given she is Scuba certified and had previous dreams of a career in marine science.”
The synopsis concludes: “After they come to an agreement, Jack serves as her own personal tour guide of the island’s hidden gems.

Hunter’s new flick isn’t the only movie airing as part of Hallmark’s Summer Nights programming event this month.

“She arrives to a relaxing Caribbean island, but Jade’s trip gets off to a rocky start thanks to a snafu involving the house she rented for her stay,” the synopsis teases.
“Serendipitously, Jade manages to turn things around and begins a romantic Caribbean adventure with the legitimate owner of the house, a mysterious man named Ford (Ser'Darius).
The new movies continue on Saturday, June 18 with Rachelle Lefevre and Luke Macfarlane’s Moriah’s Lighthouse.
