‘Chesapeake Shores’ Cast’s Dating History: Inside the Hallmark Channel Stars’ Love Lives

usmagazine.com:

Calling all Chessies! Hallmark Channel fans have laughed, cried and loved alongside the cast of Chesapeake Shores since 2016 — and offscreen, fans have become equally as intrigued by the stars’ friendships and love lives.When Chesapeake Shores debuted, viewers were introduced to the lovable O’Brien clan after eldest sister Abby O’Brien (Meghan Ory) moved back home following her divorce.

With her two children in tow, Abby was reunited with sisters Bree (Emilie Ullerup) and Jess (Laci J Mailey), as well as brothers Kevin (Brendan Penny) and Connor (Andrew Francis).The family wouldn’t be complete without mom Megan (Barbara Niven) and dad Mick (Treat Williams), who often led by example as to what true love looks like.

The romantic ups and downs of all the O’Brien children has hooked fans season after season, with Abby’s love life being a main focal point.In May 2021, Jesse Metcalfe, who played Abby’s high school sweetheart Trace Riley, surprised viewers when he announced his exit after five seasons. “I tailor-made that role for me,” Metcalfe exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2020, ahead of his final bow. “I mean, the series is based on a series of books, where the character is an architect.

So, I was given the liberty to completely change the character and kind of make [him] just, like, [me].”New love interest Evan Kincaid (played by Robert Buckley) was quick to fill the void but left many fans wondering if Abby would find her happily ever after.
