That girl or guy you are constantly flirting and joking with at work. Or that friend that you\u2019ve known since college who you wish were more than just a friend.\u00a0 It\u2019s so easy to go through life never making a move or letting that person know how you really feel.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload size-medium wp-image-145846 aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 300 169'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Coins-For-Love-Essence-and-Stephen-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Coins for Love<\/em>, TVOne\u2019s sequel to the Christmas romantic drama <em>Coins for Christmas<\/em>, is about two people doing just that- denying how they really feel about each other and letting life get in the way.\u00a0 The film deals with the complexities of navigating a work romance, ex lovers and teenagers, while managing a demanding career.<\/p>\n<p><em>Coins for Love<\/em> stars <strong>Essence Atkins<\/strong> (<em>Ambitions, Are We There Yet<\/em>) and <strong>Stephen Bishop<\/strong> (<em>Being Mary Jane, Money Ball<\/em>). Having worked together on other projects including <em>Girlfriend\u2019s Getaway<\/em>, Atkins and Bishop are old friends and were happy to jump back on board for <em>Coins for Love<\/em> after having so much fun on the set of <em>Coins for Christmas<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Coins for Love<\/em>, Atkins stars as over-worked and underpaid single Mom, Madison, struggling to make the best life possible for herself and her two teens, Chloe and Jackie.\u00a0 She is burning the candle at both ends holding down two demanding jobs. By day she is working her tail off in her dream job at a big publishing house where she hopes to climb corporate ladder. By night she is the personal assistant to complicated and opinionated athlete-turned sports show host, Alec Darby. Self-absorbed and handsome, Darby has a soft side and soft spot for Madison but lets his ego get in the way of doing anything about it.<\/p>\n<p>Although he is a former professional baseball player having played for the Atlanta Braves before pursuing a career in acting, Stephen Bishop genuinely comes across as an easy-going , not-your-typical-Hollywood-actor type. And the same also can actually be said about Essence Atkins.\u00a0 So to hear Bishop say portraying egotistical diva pro athlete Darby was \u201ca stretch\u201d for him and just a really fun role to play, was not a surprise.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-expand=\"600\" class=\"lazyload alignnone wp-image-145844 alignright\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns%3D'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg' viewBox%3D'0 0 308 174'%2F%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.blackfilm.com\/read\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Coins-For-Love-Essence-Atkins-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"174\" \/>Hardworking actress Essence Atkins says she felt that her and her character Madison were \u201cKindred Spirits.\u201d Both have a \u201cBy-any-means-necessary\u201d attitude toward doing want needs to be done when it comes to their children. As a working wife and mom of an 8 year old son, Atkins struggles with having to leave her son to travel for work and is often out of town on set for weeks at a time. She regretfully admits to missing her son\u2019s first day of second grade and (one of) his martial arts belt promotions, which are extra special to him. Now she makes sure to travel home every weekend when she is away.<\/p>\n<p>So as a mother she had no trouble relating to Madison who is juggling two teens, work and more work and wondering if she\u2019ll ever catch a break while her on-screen ex (reprised by Karon Riley) adds to her drama by focusing all of his energy on the pipe dream of making it big as a music manager. He has high hopes of finding the next Beyonc\u00e9.

With a steady stream of work over the years, Bishop finds the time while away filming to \u201cface time with them everyday and night,\u201d not giving them the chance to miss him. This super dad also coaches his children\u2019s baseball games and has managed to do some virtual coaching while away on set.<\/p>\n<p>In <em>Coins for Love<\/em> both Madison and Alec\u2019s lives don\u2019t change for the better until they focus less on themselves and more on the important things in life. At the center of both \u201cCoins\u201d films are two important themes \u2013 family and kindness.
