Fun Facts About The Cast

Jesse Metcalfe (Trace Riley)

Much to our disappointment, Metcalfe stated that he would be leaving the series and that his character’s storyline would be concluded early on in season five. 

Birthday: December 9, 1978

His parents are of European descent

Metcalfe was born in California, but his father is of English, Irish, French, and Italian descent and his mother is of Italian and Portuguese descent. 

He dropped out of university

Metcalfe graduated from The Williams School in New London, Connecticut, then went on for further education at New York University. Once he booked the part of Miguel Lopez-Fitzgerald on the soap opera Passions, he dropped out.

Metcalfe fell off a second-story balcony 

In November 2008, he hosted the World Music Awards in Monaco. At an after-party, he fell off a second-story balcony and fell 30 feet to the ground. Ouch! Luckily, he only fractured his fibula and avoided a more serious injury.

Meghan Ory (Abbie O’Brien-Winters)

Birthday: August 20, 1982 

She’s been in a lot of films and shows

If you think Ory looks familiar, it might be because she was Red Riding Hood/Ruby in Once Upon A Time, Sherry Woods in Vampire High, Riley Neal in Intelligence, and so much more. She’s been in the movies John Tucker Must Die and Dead Rising: Watchtower, both with Chesapeake Shores co-star Jesse Metcalfe. 

She’s married and has children

Ory is married to John Reardon, who she starred in Merlin’s Apprentice with two years before they married. They have two children together, born in 2018 and 2019.

Her parents didn’t let her start a career in acting straight away

From the age of 8, Ory knew that she wanted to do acting. She was a member of her local theater and loved every moment on stage. Although, she was only allowed to start auditioning when she was old enough to make responsible decisions and had a good education as a back-up.

Barbara Niven (Megan O’Brien)

Birthday: February 26, 1953

She started her acting career late

Niven was in her 30s and was a single mother when she started acting. And she definitely did not have it easy. In the early 80s, Niven auditioned to replace the character Tina Lord on One Life to Live. There was a nationwide search and she attended the audition in Seattle, without telling anyone. She was called up to New York for a screen test, where the casting director told her that her voice would only lead to victims’ roles. So she took voice classes from a retired radio host. Then, in 1986, she was cast in Hallmark Hall of Fame’s Promise.

She is a motivational speaker

Niven has spoken at schools, professional groups, and on TV shows. Some of her topics include: “Giving up Perfect to Claim Your Dreams”, “Paralyzed to Powerful”, “Eating Disorders & Pressures to be Perfect”, and “The Pressure to be Thin in Hollywood”. She also speaks out against bullying.

Niven is an animal rights activist

She has adopted a lot of cats and dogs, and fosters old animals. Niven has participated on an animal rescue team to save victims of a puppy mill and is a National Ambassador for American Humane.

Laci J. Mailey (Jess O’Brien)

Mailey likes to do pottery

On her Instagram, Mailey is always posting things she’s made out of clay! From pots to dishes, Mailey has made so much. We wish we were as good as her at pottery.

Her first role was in the remake of Battlestar Galactica in 2006. One of her most famous roles – aside from Bree, obviously – was as Ashley Magnus in Sanctuary in 2008-2010.
