Hallmark Channel‘s multi-generational family drama “Chesapeake Shores” was the highest rated series in the network’s history. It is currently shooting Season 5.

The story follows Abby O’Brien (Meghan Ory), a high-powered career woman, divorcee and mother of two young daughters (Kayden and Abbie Magnuson), who makes a trip from New York City to her hometown of Chesapeake Shores. Her visit home brings Abby face to face with her past, including her high school sweetheart Trace (Jesse Metcalfe), her estranged mother Megan (Barbara Niven), her uncompromising father Mick (Treat Williams) and her esteemed grandmother Nell (Diane Ladd).

Abby realizes the toll her career has taken on her ability to be a hands-on mother to her daughters, and considers a permanent move to Chesapeake Shores. Adding to the family drama is the return to Chesapeake Shores of her mother Megan, who left the family years ago and is still estranged from some of her adult children. Rounding out the O’Brien clan are Abby’s siblings Jess (Laci Mailey), who is struggling to find her calling; Bree (Emilie Ullerup), a playwright in Chicago whose career and love life have stalled; Kevin (Brendan Penny) a soldier whose military career causes his family constant worry and Conor (Andrew Francis), a law school graduate who lives in New York City and comes back to the family home for the summer.

Based on the novels of the same name by New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods.

MEGAN O’BRIEN

A beautiful woman who fled the responsibilities of her family when Abby was just 17, Megan left her husband Mick to deal with their large brood. Now living in Manhattan and working at a museum, she has a relationship with Abby and her twins, but otherwise has had zero contact with the rest of her family for the last 17 years.

When Mick summons her to Chesapeake Shores, it’s certain that old wounds will be reopened, but whether Megan can help heal the damage she has caused is unclear.
