Storylines via Hallmark-
Season 2 - Episode 1 - Secrets, Lies, and School Supplies: As Abby and the rest of the O’Briens prepare for the town’s annual lantern festival, Trace returns to Nashville to face a past mistake. Mick takes his granddaughters backto-school shopping while covertly working on a business deal bound to cause family conflict. Jess is overwhelmed by both a busy weekend at her bed and breakfast and the news that her long-estranged mother Megan has returned to town for good. Amidst the small town celebration, Bree must decide if she will move back to Chicago to produce her play. As the festival nears, Trace and each of the O’Briens attempt to put their own challenges aside so four generations of O’Briens—including grandma Nell—can come together for the lantern festival.
Season 2 - Episode 2 - Pasts and Presents: Despite guidance from Nell, Mick makes some unpopular business decisions when he plans to sell the nightclub that he and Trace are building together, and puts a reluctant Abby in charge of a development project steeped in unresolved family conflicts. When planning her cousin’s wedding goes awry, Jess turns to an unexpected source—her mother, Megan—for help. In Chicago, Bree fights to regain control of the production of her play. Kevin must work through difficult memories from his deployment when faced with a life-and-death situation. An O’Brien family wedding has some unexpected tension when Mick is confronted by an adversary from his past.
Season 2 - Episode 3 - Photographs and Memories: As Abby sends her girls off to their first day at a new school, conflict arises between Trace and Wes about their roles in the family—complicated further by a Nashville recording label taking interest in Trace’s new demo with Leigh. The O’Brien siblings reminisce watching home movies shot by Megan, but these movies leave Jess feeling left out and angry at her mother for leaving when she was young. Nell helps Connor dress professionally for his new career, but struggles to prevent Mick from butting heads with his brother Thomas over family land. Like the rest of the family, Bree and Kevin attempt to bid farewell to their pasts to make way for future opportunities.

I just love this show. If you have Directv, they do have all of season 1 on the app to watch. It is probably also on the On Demand, I don't have that though. If you didn't see season 1, you can watch it. I love this cast, I have read all the books and they got good Hallmark actors to play the parts. Such a great show :)
ReplyDeleteI just love this show - it's so bright and light and beautifully located and filmed.
ReplyDeleteFunny about the new photo of the cast (the first picture above,) is that some of them are so glammed up that I didn't recognize them at first. :)
Thank you, Sabrina, for mentioning this! Yes, Chesapeake Shores season 1 is available on Directv on demand and each episode is free! I am loving watching the episodes I lost when my DVR died.
ReplyDeleteI love this series!! Thank you Net for posting the link to Amazon so I can catch up or re-watch any of the eps I happen to miss this season. I bought the season 1 DVD and I'm loving it, even if all my friends keep stealing it. They are all crushing on Jessie Metcalfe!! Me too!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent show. I just saw season 1 and part of season 2. I'll be sad when it finishes. I would give anything to live there. Pity family issues can't be resolved as easily as they are on shows.
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn into this show every week. Good to see a loving family on TV again.
ReplyDeleteGreat show
