So, glad to hear Chris will be back on primetime in a new role? Comment below,
I gave up GREY’S years ago, but am happy Chris Carmack has a new gig. He was excellent on NASHVILLE, creating a well-rounded, complex character. He’s also a really good musician/singer. Maybe he’ll get to display these talents on the show. Oh, and he has awesome hair and a great smile. Just saying.
Congratulations to Chris! His talent deserves to remain on our TV screens with a good storyline.
Looking forward to seeing more of him on my TV.
Boy, is that the truth! Wink, wink.
Yes, yummy, yummy! Too bad he isn’t checking into GH…Lord knows they could use an “Ortho God” like him!!!!
happy for him – good actor!
Never watched the show. Great news for Chris, though. Hoping at some point he lands in a film or show I do watch. Loved him on Nashville.

In shocking news to so many, This Is Us star Justin Hartley (Kevin Pearson) has filed for divorce after two years of marriage from former Days of our Lives’and Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause (Jordan Ridgeway).
According to court documents on Friday via TMZ, Justin is citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split.
The date of their separation is listed as July 8, 2019, which has perplexed those in the media when the pair have been seen together in recent months at Hollywood events and sharing posts of one another on their social media accounts.
Justin and Chrishell were last seen together in public last week on November 14th at a Hollywood Reporter-sponsored pre-Golden Globes party. Reps for both actors have you to share statements or make a comment.
Hartley and Stause tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch back in October 28th, 201, which was four years to the day after they met.
As daytime fans know, Justin and Chrishell met when they were both part of the soap opera community. Justin was last on daytime as Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless. Hartley has one child, Isabella, from a previous marriage to another soap actress, Lindsay Korman, who he met when they both were on the defunct NBC soap Passions. Justin and Lindsay were married for 8 years.
We will update you as they warrant in this developing story. And on personal note: we wish nothing but the best for both Justin and Chrishell.
