Hallmark’s new series Chesapeake Shores will feature a side of actor Jesse Metcalfe rarely seen. The 37-year-old—famous for his sexy gardener on Desperate Housewives —has been a songwriter for more than a decade, something he hasn’t been able to showcase in any of the films and TV shows he’s worked on.
As previously mentioned, Jesse Metcalfe is a bit of an accomplished musician like his character on the show. He did, in fact, write a few of the songs used throughout the series, and even performs some of them himself! Is Chesapeake Shores a real place?

How many showrunners did Chesapeake have?
Metcalfe pointed to the fact that “Chesapeake” has cycled through three showrunners in five seasons and that going through the process of once more building trust and a working relationship with a fresh showrunner was “not necessarily something [he] wanted to do,” and the fact that he “felt that there wasn’t really anything else [he] could do with the character” as other deciding factors in his departure.
Fans of Hallmark ‘s ” Chesapeake Shores ” were stunned when Jesse Metcalfe — who had been portraying the hunky Trace Riley, singer-songwriter and beau of Abby O’Brien-Winters (Meghan Ory) — announced that he would be leaving the show back in March (via Deadline ). Because the previous four seasons of the sudser had been spent gently nudging Abby and Trace together, and in the book series from which they sprung, the couple has an enduring relationship, “Chessies” had some mixed opinions about their early Season 5 decoupling. Fans also had to deal with the introduction of Robert Buckley as self-made real estate billionaire Evan Kincaid, the new man in Abby’s life, who has hired her family’s construction firm to build a fancy hotel in Chesapeake Shores.
