Barbara will take on the role of a woman named Melissa, while Dan will play someone named Nate Brenner. Details on both remain under wraps for now, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating on how they will factor into the show.Commenting on an announcement of the new cast members posted by a fan account, one person wrote:"I don't know who Melissa is. Maybe Jack's mom? I'm not sure about Nate Brenner either. The veterinarian in the books is Nathaniel Jensen.

We can't wait to meet them when the heartwarming drama makes its return to screens on Wednesday 20 July 2022.Like this story?
