Q) What can you tell us about the season premiere of “Chesapeake Shores” and where do we pick up with character Sarah?

A) It’s beautiful. The locations, the couples, the progression of story lines. The premiere really sets the pacing for the rest of the season. With Sarah, we pick up with her and Kevin (Brendan Penny) continuing their relationship. They’re really getting to know each other at this point.

Q) What can you tease about some of the themes and events that surround this season?

A) As far as themes go I would say love is always the common denominator. Viewers will get to see a lot of insight into relationships, past, present and future. I definitely think this season is the best yet!

Q) What effects will what happened in the finale have in this season going forward?

A) I think really just where relationships have left off and where they have to go from there.

Q) What challenges will Sarah and Kevin face this season?

A) Anytime there’s uncharted territories there will be challenges. There are two major ones this season where Sarah and Kevin really have to decide what it is they want for each other and the relationship. Wish I could spoil it a little more for you, but you’ll have to wait and see!

A) We do see more of Sarah with the family! Some time has passed since last season’s finale so at this point she’s really blending in with the rest of the family.

Q) What do you enjoy most about your character arc this season?
