Home & Family: Cristina Ferrare Defends New Host Debbie Matenopoulos

by Jessica Pena, July 1, 2016

Home & Family; Hallmark Channel TV shows

There is some drama brewing over at Home & Family. After being fired from the Hallmark Channel daytime show, Cristina Ferrare is now defending her replacement host Debbie Matenopoulos.

The news of Ferrare’s exit came seemingly out of nowhere earlier this month. Alongside Mark Steines, she had been co-host of the current program since 2012.

Since the news broke, many have criticized Hallmark Channel for hiring Matenopoulos only because she’s younger than Ferrare. Earlier this week, Maria Shriver said she was “ticked off” that the network fired Ferrare because she was “too old.” While this hasn’t been confirmed, Ferrare did recently post a picture of herself and Matenopoulos, saying she cares about the new co-host and the decision was only business.

Take a look at Maria Shriver’s video and Ferrare’s post below:


What do you think? Do you think Hallmark fired Ferrare for being “too old”? Do you like Debbie Matenopoulos as the new co-host?

please take Debbie off she talks over guests, her suggestions for what guests are doing is crazy. The laugh drives me nuts and when something serious so tired of her goose bumps. In games she always tries to win, let someone take over the games. Please let the guests be guests whether cooking or etc. let Mark interview them she isn’t the only one playing the games. Put behind cameras if you want her there at all. I plan to change my cable to take off Home & Family even tho I enjoy the show and movies, I just can’t… Read more »

As a mom, teacher,grandmother I am VERY PROUD OF Debbie Matenopolous because she SITS LIKE A LADY ! She keeps her knees together like a real lady should which in my mind makes her a good example to young girls and young boys everywhere ! ! Too many female TV personalities cross their thighs,pull their skirts up to within 3-4 inches of their inseams so the camera looks up their skirts. Disgraceful ! Their actions say “Little girls, it is o.k. to let little boys look up your skirts” and/or “Little boys, it is ok for you to look up… Read more »

Did not fire due to age. She became too self-absorbed. Always looking at herself.

I don’t know what show you are watching, but the ONLY ones who obviously are self-absorbed are Mark Steines AND Debbie Matenopolous. Haven’t watched the show since June.

Not true, as present viewers plainly see, Mark Steines and Debbie Matenopolous are the ones who are self-absorbed. Have not watched since June.

It was a mistake to fire Christina just because she was older and not as slim as Debbie. That is how I see it. I won’t watch again.

Debbie is very immature and is constantly acting silly for attention. I find it difficult to watch her. She seems very uneducated. Too theatrical when she is interviewing guest. Did not like her on the view !! Kim Douglas did a good job when she filled in for Debbie. I did not think Cristna was too old , however she did studder a lot and seems to have difficulty putting sentences together. Also, the kitchen seemed uncomfortable for her even though she claimed to be great cook.

Christina was her best in the kitchen, she wasn’t at all un comfortable. She’s a master chef & has been cooking since her teens. Debbie, on the other hand, is a joke in the kitchen. She can’t cook! She’s cold & phony. There’s no warmth there at all. Why would Woody replace Christina because of age? He’s at least 80! The show is boring now, not at all the same. I quit watching it.

I agree! The other day she created a “gift” she likes to give her guests when they come to her home which was a piece of raw salmon in a jar with seasonings. Disgusting! I would rather have nothing!

Christina was perfect in home and family. She has more class in her little finger than Debbie has in her whole body. Debbie is too stuck on herself, and it shows on the show. I still watch Home & Family, but it’s not the same.

I love Hallmark. Movies & Mysteries is my preference because I don’t care formost of your sitcoms but the movies are awesome on both channels. Home & Family is a unique well rounded variety show but it lost it’s natural, homey feel with the departure of Cristina. Now it has a put on feel….Debbie was always good on the show but Cristina was a natural at the helm. Mark even comes across fake, now. So, no matter the reason for letting Cristina go you made a huge mistake. I Will check in from time to time now because it is… Read more »

I really liked Christina Ferrare and very sad she was removed from the show. It’s not the same without her. Though I don’t have a problem with Debbie. But I loved and tuned in because of Mark steins and Christina.
She is such a sweet and beautiful classy lady. Hard act to follow these days. I rarely tune in now and only tuned in trying to figure out when she was coming back. No point now
