A former top casting director for the Hallmark Channel filed an age discrimination lawsuit against the company, alleging that she lost her job because of her age and that a programming executive targeted other prominent stars for being “too old” to maintain the company’s image.

Hallmark Media executive vice president of programming Lisa Hamilton Daly instructed a former employee not to cast “old people” for Hallmark roles, saying that “our leading ladies are aging out,” according to a lawsuit filed against the network this month and obtained by The.

In the filing, she accuses Hallmark of unceremoniously firing her in April after nine years with the company.
