The daytime vet is one of the stars of the new Lifetime movie The Girl Who Survived: The Alina Thompson Story, premiering on Lifetime on September 20 at 8 p.m. “We zoned in on the dad because we really wanted a father/daughter story and Lifetime doesn’t often do those,” she explained. They both had a very close relationship with Alina, but the father was more of the helicopter parent.”Mom’s the Word: Jones appears in the movie as Alina’s (Brielle Robillard) mother, Nancy. LifetimeScreening RoomJones hopes that her fans will check out the movie when it airs on Lifetime or stream it later. True Blood fans will think it’s fun to see Sam and I together again.
