Plus, a new season of the multi-generational family drama, Chesapeake Shores, is back for Season 4 on Sunday, September 3 at 9 p.m. ET/PT following new episodes of When Calls the Heart. In the new season, Trace (Jesse Metcalfe) returns from tour, determined to get back to the life he had in Chesapeake Shores with Abby (Meghan Ory), but finds it might not be possible to go back to the way things were. As he settles back in at The Bridge, a talented, but stage-shy waitress-songwriter (Lanie McAuley) catches his attention. Abby faces an ethical dilemma involving an important new client. When doing the right thing puts her job on the line, she reevaluates her work-life balance and meets an intriguing new man (Greyston Holt). Mick (Treat Williams) faces his own professional peril, when it's revealed that a once trusted vendor has been cutting corners and he implicates Mick. As he and Megan (Barbara Niven) explore their connection, while trying to avoid the mistakes of the past, his legal distractions threaten to pull him back into old habits.
