The Salinger family is back together again… type of.
“Party of Five” stars Lacey Chabert and Scott Wolf once played brother and sister on the hit Fox family drama, and now, they’re portraying siblings once more.
Wolf, 55, and Chabert, 41, are starring in Hallmark’s newest holiday flick, “A Merry Scottish Christmas.”
However the “Everwood” alum and the “Mean Girls” star claim they might never play romantic partners in future movies.
“We want to make it as clear as possible that never … were we going to be love interests,” Wolf chuckled to Fox News.
“We knew it could be a sibling story, which really form of set it apart slightly bit from a whole lot of the Christmas holiday movies on Hallmark, where the central two characters are romantic love interests,” he explained of the upcoming festive flick.
The “Nancy Drew” actor went on: “We knew this whole thing can be built around this sibling relationship. And I feel we were really … enthusiastic about telling a story that was slightly different from what people might come to expect.”
“There’s romance because Lacey’s character has a romantic love interest, and I even have a story with my wife within the movie,” the actor shared. “But I feel we were really excited that Hallmark embraced this story that was about … family.”
“A Merry Scottish Christmas” dropped on the Hallmark channel Nov. 19, and it isn’t your typical holiday TV movie stuffed with romance and fantasy.
The movie encompasses two estranged siblings who haven’t seen one another in quite a while. They reunite at their mother’s childhood home in Scotland for Christmas.
When the Hallmark queen announced the movie earlier this yr, fans flooded her social media with vomit emojis as they believed that it could be the on-screen brother-sister duo falling in love.
“Hopefully no more,” Wolf joked to Fox News. “No more vomit emojis. Once people see the movie, I feel the vomit emojis will go away.”
“Just hearts,” Chabert interjected.
Chabert portrayed youngest daughter Claudia Salinger on “Party of Five” from 1993 until 2000 while Wolf took on the role of her older brother, Bailey Salinger.
The 2 starred alongside “Scream” star Neve Campbell and “Lost” alum Matthew Fox. The series followed a set of 5 siblings who deal with one another after their parents die in automobile accident.
Chabert noted that the show was “such a blessing to be a component of.”
“But what sticks to my heart essentially the most are the laughs that we shared and the protective big brother that [Scott] was to me in the course of the time and still [is],” she said.
The “Not One other Teen Movie” actress added of the vacation film, “Scott’s the most effective. I really like him a lot, and I even have missed him every single day since ‘Party of Five’ ended. This was a stupendous reunion.”
The pair have stayed close for the reason that conclusion of “Party of Five,” with Wolf feeling like he has to “protect” his younger co-star at times.
“I at all times felt this protective thing with Lacey,” he said. “She was only 11 years old. And knowing she was a baby on the time, working in a really adult environment, I just felt immediately protective of her. However it wasn’t because she gave off this sense of, ‘I would like protecting.’”
