Dating the Delaneys (2022)

Since divorcing from her husband David, Maggie Delaney has partly moved on with life in opening her own bakery; now she and her business partner Devon want to expand by opening a second location, if only they could get more exposure. Maggie must be all things to her two kids, 16-year-old Emma and 14-year-old Gary, as David is a deadbeat father who has no time for them and never shows up for his scheduled days with them. Maggie comes to the realization that it is time for her to move forward in her personal life with her widowed mother Barb starts dating a man named Rick, Emma has her first crush on classmate Zack, and--more importantly--David announces that he will soon remarry. Entering the dating scene is much easier said than done for Maggie, who hasn't gone on a date in 20 years. Widowed PR consultant Michael Taylor, Gary's best friend Will's father, someone Maggie considers a friend herself, suggests that they, as friends, go on practice dates together to hone their dating skills in a comfortable setting. As Maggie watches both Barb and Emma go through their dating highs and lows, she goes through her own dates with men that she largely meets online and might not be able to see that Michael would like a chance to be that next man in her life and be there for her in every important aspect of her life, and not just in a practice sense.—Huggo
