Chesapeake Shores Series Finale

The series finale of Chesapeake Shores aired last night on the Hallmark Channel.

What are your thoughts about the way the series wrapped things up at the end?

Happy endings for everyone. The finale was exactly what I expected and it did not disappoint. I am glad that nothing was left hanging/unresolved.

So many times a Hallmark show is cancelled and viewers are left wondering what would happen to the characters. I am glad that this one was able to show a series/season finale.

I so enjoyed the show. I was sad to see it go.

I agree that the storylines were all tied up at the end and nothing was really left hanging.

I completely agree!

I am glad everyone in Chesapeake Shores was able to get their happily ever after. I also think the show greatly improved when Jessie Metcalf left and Robert Buckley came aboard. For that reason alone, I was hoping the show would continue.

It would be nice if the Hallmark Channel would do a follow-up standalone movie sometime in the future, so we could all get an update on the characters and their lives.

Maybe we will get a follow-up standalone movie in the future, to update us on the storylines.

I enjoyed the show. Everything was tied up, nothing left to wonder about, and happy endings for all.

A feel-good, happily ever after, for sure.

ICAM with @undertheradar about how much better the show got after JM left. IMO it was barely watchable with him. He's a great looking guy but I find his acting to be beyond bland and didn't see any chemistry with them. Another one I didn't miss was Diane Ladd. I didn't read the books so had no investment in the characters, themselves, as far as needing certain people there, etc., if you know what i mean. Like I have read that a lot of people hated it after JM left because of their investment in Chase from reading the books.

I thought it was a good ending with everything tied up but I would have liked for the series to continue.

Meghan Ory was so big by the last episode there was nothing they could do to hide her pregnancy.!😀

@Wsmom

Same with the character Jess whose pregnancy was announced, so funny art imitating life, the actress was really growing too.

Agree 100% about Jesse Metcalf, I liked his character on Desperate Housewives and that's it. Didn't like Diane Ladd's character and fake Irish accent either. Luckily I started watching Chesapeake Shores right after JM left so I enjoyed the episodes.

@rockygems123 , I wasn't sure if the gal who played Jess was actually pregnant or had recently had a baby. I didn't notice her tummy so much as "the girls". So I was thinking maybe she had had the baby just prior to filming starting.

I really liked this show and am sad it's not continuing.

The scenery and all the pretty actors was so nice to watch.

Good stories too.

It had a wonderful ending and I am going to miss this show. I am watching more and more MeTV (all the oldies) and the Hallmark movies. With all the depressing news in the world, I do not want to watch murders, etc. I received an email about this show that stated "don't be surprised if you see the O'Briens again."

Re: Chesapeake Shores Series Finale

kindred cats — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 00:14:56 GMT

@lovesallanimals Oh, YAY!! I hope we do see the O'Briens again.

That gives me hope and agree with you we need more "nice" shows to watch.

Are you able to share where the email came from?

There is an article posted on October 16, on the website TV Insider titled ‘Chesapeake Shores’ Boss Reveals What Would’ve Happened Next After Series Finale.

It was an interesting interview, definitely worth reading if you are a fan of the show, and the next to the last paragraph said this:

So what are the chances of it continuing in some way, whether a spinoff, movie or another season somehow?

I can’t really share anything yet, but we are in discussion about something like that. I don’t really know what it would entail yet, but I don’t think you’ve seen the last of the O’Briens, let me put it that way.

It would be nice to see a holiday show of the O'Briens! I will miss it on Sunday night, I watched from the beginning.

Jess is pregnant! That conversation she and David had reminded me of what you’d said about condensing things.

Yeah, that’s true. It was a condensed version of the next season. [Laughs]

Given her complicated relationship with Megan, was putting her on the path to motherhood in-show something you wanted to include?

This was something that we’d always kind of intended. It was particularly helped by the fact that literally everyone who was of pregnancy age this season, the actresses all got pregnant or had babies. Laci and Jessica both had babies right at the beginning of when we shot this season. Meghan and Emilie got pregnant through the course of the season. So there was just such an air of pregnancy on the set that it felt right that she would accept being a mother and want to go with that.

I was underwhelmed by it. Sure, it was nice seeing the parents remarry, but I lost interest this season.

@undertheradar , lol...is that pretty much all of the girls of child-bearing age with the exception of Connor's girlfriend? True sisterhood to be able to go through that together.
