*3/29/2022 update: Hallmark has renewed Chesapeake Shores for a sixth and final season.
I love this show because of Trace and Abby. Without those two, I don’t feel it anymore to watch. You have to bring him back or i really do think that this show will go down
Good show.
Good team
What is good now, which team? They are all over with the stories there is no context nor a direction. This is the biggest mistake they made and it shows in the ratings
I enjoy the show so much all the cast. Ok
If trace leaves still enjoy.
How can you it is all over, the story line does not make sense anymore.
SO DIS APPOINTED. No Trace I may stop watching!!
So disappointed with Metcalf leaving
I couldn’t get enough of Chesapeake Shores until I heard that Trace was leaving the show. It was his and Abby’s relationship that made the series. I have no interest in watching another episode. The writers ruined the show!
I probably won’t continue to watch, since the Trace/Abby relationship was the big reason I watched; now that the writers had different ideas about the twosome, and wrote Trace out, I don’t like the direction the show is headed
Amen, right on the money plus it shows now on the ratings. Unless they bring Trace back season 5 is the end of the show.
Well the way I seeit .if you would bring trace back then yes I would definately say bring on episode 6. But was stands now I wont be watching it .
Please keep chesapeake shores I love the stories reminds me of some of my own life, do a season 6
It used to do the same for me, I use to use many of the stories to advise people and family members. Now, I can’t it is wrong to do to people what these writers have done to Trace and the way they portray Abby as sort of a heartless woman
We didn’t finish watching,always loved it but couldn’t stand the narrating,why is that necessary?If that is going to be all the time we will not watch,was looking forward to it,but the narrating is very annoying,sorry!
What “narrating”?
Without Abby and Trace not worth watching
Cancel it
Will still watch but disappointed about Trace leaving
I’m fine with canceling. I’m really tired of the Abby-Trace drama!
Ues, but… First love is forever love – a hopeful, time-tested, reliable , comforting, and successful Hallmark formula. While the Trace character needed to be kicked from the nest to discover his true callings, develop personal strength, and mature emotionally, the show must provide hope that down the a more mature/adult/responsible Trace and a more settled Abby will find their way back to each other in the end. Classic Hallmark. Maybe Trace discovers writing songs vs performing is his passion, along with being a mentor and producer of young talent, possibly supported by a foundation established by Trace and his… Read more »
Very good suggestion
After he gave up his career, his life, never looked at another woman while Abby was friendly with several men, and now at the end Hallmark crushes him not only taking his business and future but kicking him out of town. It is sadistic.
I agree with Victoria. Season 6 is a must!
Chesapeake Shores is the most wonderful series I watch. I cannot imagine that it could be missing. It moves beautiful stories. Season 6 must be!
