According to recent "The Middle" season 7 episode 10 spoilers, Frankie Heck (Patricia Heaton) and her family will not enjoy a peaceful and silent night on Christmas Eve. In the episode, she decides to have the family watch a Christmas Eve service on TV at home.
This is because the Hecks are always late to church so they usually end up in the overflow room. While watching a Christmas Eve service from the comfort of their house, however, several events will deprive the family of a silent night, Broadway World has learned.
Airing on ABC on Dec. 9, Wednesday, "The Middle" season 7 episode 10 titled "Not So Silent Night" was directed by Melissa Kosar and written by DeAnn Heline and Eileen Heisler. Among the guest stars in the episode are Dierk Torsek as Reverend Hayver and Jen Ray as Nancy Donahue.
Along with Heaton, "The Middle" also stars Neil Flynn as Mike, Atticus Shaffer as Brick, Charlie McDermott as Axl and Eden Sher as Sue, among others.
Meanwhile, in an interview with Parade, Heaton talked about the importance of inviting friends to her home and bringing them together. She said, "We are kind of in a troubled time right now politically and globally, and I think it's just even more important right now to gather people together and really appreciate your family and friends, and spend as much time together as possible."
Aside from playing Frankie Heck in "The Middle," Heaton also stars in her reality TV show titled "Patricia Heaton Parties," in which she shared home entertaining tips and recipes for party-friendly foods.
