In Remembrance of Actor Treat Williams...

On Monday evening, Hallmark posted to their social media some very sad, heartbreaking news... Actor Treat Williams, who portrayed a beloved father in many movies and series, including Everwood, Front of the Class, and Chesapeake Shores, has passed away.

Yahoo is reporting his death was due to a motorcycle accident in Vermont. Treat was wearing a helmet but was hit and thrown from his motorcycle, suffering critical injuries. Treat Williams was 71 years old.

My first remembrance of Treat is from the series Everwood. I enjoyed his portrayal of Dr. Andrew Brown and the way he connected with his children after the passing of his wife. The series was full of emotion and drama. In Hallmark Hall of Fame's Front of the Class, Treat portrayed a father who doesn't quite understand his son's medical condition and often takes his frustration out on him until he is diagnosed with Tourettes. After that, he does his best to make amends. Whatever role Treat took on was influential, powerful and memorable. In Chesapeake Shores, he portrayed Mick O'Brien, the patriarch to five grown children who often looked to their father for his wisdom and advice.

I know Treat Williams will be remembered fondly by the Hallmark family and all who worked with him through the years.

My heart and prayers go out to his wife, Pam, his children, Gill and Elinor, and all of his family and friends.

May God bless and bring comfort,
Net

Chesapeake Shores Season 6 News...

If you've been wondering when Chesapeake Shores will arrive with new episodes on the Hallmark Channel, then your wait is over. Hallmark has announced across their multiple social platforms that Chesapeake Shores will return with 10 episodes in Season 6 on Sunday, August 14th, at 8/7c!.

Pictured in the poster above (from left to right): Treat Williams, Barbara Niven, Andrew Francis, Robert Buckley, Meghan Ory, Emilie Ullerup, Laci J. Mailey, and Brendan Penny.

Hallmark's statement: "The rumors are true!! Chesapeake Shores 🌊☀️ returns to Hallmark Channel on August 14! Come see what the O’Brien family has been up to! What are you most excited about #Chessies?"

This year, I'm not seeing the disappointed fan responses, like last year, on Jesse Metcalfe's departure. Instead, many are happy about the new season news, but sad this is their last and final season. Some are even asking for follow-up movies with the O'Brien family.

I have personally watched all of the previous seasons of CS up to this point, but I haven't decided, yet, if I will watch this new one. As a fan of the series from the beginning, I must admit, I still feel burned by the Trace Riley and Abby O'Brien break-up. It could've been such a beautiful love story. I look at the new poster and feel like Jesse Metcalfe should be the one standing there next to Meghan Ory and not Robert Buckley (who plays Evan Kincaid, the tech mogul and self-made millionaire). I guess this means the teacher, played by Greyston Holt, doesn't have a chance, based on the new key art. Plus, I was surprised the grandmother, Nell O'Brien, played by Diane Ladd, wasn't featured in the new poster.

I'm also wondering what plans they have in store for this new season. Will there be any woke storylines sprinkled in here and there? I must say, it wouldn't surprise me one bit, especially since many of the actors involved in this series are pushing for it.

On a positive note, the one thing I especially love seeing is all of the multi-generational O'Brien family back together again. There is just something about the closeness and tight bonds of these O'Brien brothers and sisters, along with their parents and grandmother, that draws me in to these characters and their gorgeous beach home in Chesapeake Shores.

Will you be watching Season 6? Are you returning to the shore? I would love to know your thoughts in comments below.

Blessings, Net ☀️

Hallmark Announces: "Chesapeake Shores" Season 6 - Final Season of Series!

"The news is finally here!" (Hallmark announced today via Instagram.) "#ChesapeakeShores is coming back for a sixth, albeit final, season. Stay tuned for all the laughter, love, and don’t miss one heartfelt O’Brien moment coming this summer. #Chessies"

"Chesapeake Shores" follows 4 generations in the O'Brien family, led by Nell O'Brien (Diane Ladd), Mick (Treat Williams), and Megan (Barbara Niven). Also, returning this season are: Meghan Ory, Emilie Ullerup, Brendan Penny, Andrew Francis, Laci J. Malley, and Robert Buckley.

I'm personally curious to see... the health condition of Connor (Andrew Francis) in the new season, along with future family plans for Kevin (Brendan Penny) and Sarah (Jessica Sipos). Not sure what other directions the series may go this season??? Will Megan and Mick split up for good or will they finally reunite after many years apart? So many questions will hopefully be answered in this final season. Is there any possibility that Trace (Jesse Metcalfe) will return? I'm not sure. Most likely no. But, I'm still hoping! Will "Chesapeake Shores" remain mostly family friendly- for all ages? I sure hope so! (Although, please note: there are some brief, adult situations and dialogue I would personally caution for young viewers in previous seasons.)

What do you think of this news? Will you be tuning into the Hallmark Channel for this all new, final season of "Chesapeake Shores?"

Blessings, Net
