Here’s a synopsis of season four: Despite not knowing whether her baby belongs to her deceased husband, Mark or Jack, Mel begins Season Four with a sense of optimism. For years she yearned to be a mother and her dream is one step closer to reality. While Jack is supportive and excited, the question of paternity continues to gnaw at him. Complicating matters is the arrival of a handsome new doctor, who’s in the market to start a family of his own. Hope is still healing from her car accident, and the lingering psychological effects of her brain injury will have profound consequences for both her and Doc. Brie, intent on proving the innocence of the man she loves, unexpectedly finds herself in a closer relationship with Mike and one step closer to Calvin’s violent criminal web. Even as Preacher forges a new romantic connection, he can’t help but hold out hope for being reunited with Christopher and Paige.

Stars also returning include Brie (Zibby Allen), Mike (Marco Grazzini), Preacher (Colin Lawrence), Doc (Tim Matheson), Hope (Annette O’Toole), Calvin (David Cubitt), Christopher (Chase Petriw), Paige (Lexa Doig), Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale), Ricky (Grayson Maxwell Gurnsey) and Dan (Ben Hollingsworth).

Daniel Gillies is putting his muscular physique on display for his cover spread in Mr. Warburton‘s latest issue.

The 45-year-old Virgin River actor, who also stars in the Sundance movie Coming Home in the Dark, shot the cover on location at the Chamberlain in West Hollywood, Calif.

In his interview for the magazine, Daniel talked about his personal style and how it has evolved during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I’m certainly no style guru, but I try and keep it simple. I don’t think that clothing should overwhelm the person. That’s not to say I don’t get adventurous and playful or experiment with colors or anything like that. I’m not saying I’m entirely tedious with my choices and I try not to dress like a dad, which is the inevitable kind of descent, right?” Daniel said. “And let’s not forget, there’s another element, the ingredient of Covid-19 has really altered fashion – like wearing the kind of outfit that you wouldn’t be caught dead in publicly over 13 months ago. I’m not ashamed to say, though I can sense that I’ll be publicly castrated for saying this, the two Items of clothing that have really seen me through all this have been a couple of pairs of pants, including Lululemon.”

Rachael and Daniel announced their separation last year and shared a joint statement on their split.

“This decision isn’t one we have come to easily or lightly,” the two said. “We love and respect each other as parents, people and artists and look forward to maintaining the best parts of our relationship for many years to come.”

While making an appearance at the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Summer 2019 TCA Press Tour on Friday (July 26), the 39-year-old actress revealed that she and the 43-year-old actor haven’t told their kids – Charlotte, 5, and Theodore, 4 – about their split yet.

“Daniel’s actually filming in New Zealand for almost three months now, and so we can’t formally talk to them about what’s going on until he’s back, because otherwise what it means is dad disappeared,” Rachael shared with ET. “That’s far from anything Daniel would ever do, or myself. He’s hopelessly devoted to them and we’re going to get through this together. He’s an amazing person and I still consider him my very best friend and we’ll make it one way or another.”

Rachael and Daniel revealed back in June that they were splitting up after nearly 15 years of marriage.

“I get [why fans might be sad],” Rachael added. “I take it very personally usually when extra couples break up… But, you know, we got married when I was 24. I think we were just a little bit ahead of the curve, so it feels like we’re first, and that’s hard, but I don’t know. I still love him to death, and he’s gone and I miss him, but we’re just going to forge a new path forward.”

“As long as the kids will be OK, I’ll be OK,” Rachael Leigh Cook continued. “I don’t know what I’m doing, so if anybody has advice, tag me online. Seriously, I’m all ears.”

The 39-year-old She’s All That actress and the 43-year-old Vampire Diaries actor both took to Instagram on Thursday (June 13) to announce that they are separating after 14 years of marriage.

“With deep gratitude for every year we have spent together and the thousands of beautiful memories shared, we have mutually decided to separate as a couple,” their statement starts.

“This decision isn’t one we have come to easily or lightly,” Rachael and Daniel continue. “We love and respect each other as parents, people and artists and look forward to maintaining the best parts of our relationship for many years to come.”

Rachael and Daniel married on August 8, 2004. They are parents to Charlotte, 5, and son Theodore, 4.

“Your discretion in this matter is kindly requested for the sake of our children during this time of transition. Thank you to those of you who are already aware; for your tremendous compassion and understanding. Lots of love, Rachael and Daniel.”
