Mel dropped a bomb on Jack in the final moments of Virgin River Season 3 Episode 4 when she asked him how he would feel about having a baby with her. 

On one hand, she probably should’ve known better than to ask that question with everything Jack has going on in his life, but, on the other hand, he did ask for complete transparency and honesty. 

And this is something that’s been hiding deep within her subconscious for quite some time and is finally coming to light. 

It is a big question that has the potential of revealing that they aren’t on the same page and ruining their relationship. 

How will Jack react to the possibility of having more kids as he’s expecting twins?

Jack chatted with Brie briefly about his situation with Charmaine, and it definitely seems like he’s going to be hiring a lawyer to draw up a custody agreement. 

Good for him for taking a stand. Charmaine expects that she’ll be able to walk all over him. While that may have worked when it was just the two of them, it’s not going to cut it when it comes to his future children.

The date he planned for Mel was so romantic, I found myself wanting to move to Virgin River immediately. The scenery has always been breathtaking, but this was another level of magic. 

Doc finally got in touch with Hope who weathered the storm with her stubborn Aunt Nancy. She explained that she’d be sticking around South Carolina for a while to help with clean-up efforts, so my guess is that they weren’t able to get Annette O’Toole this season due to scheduling conflicts due to another project or COVID. It’s a bummer as it dilutes the whole relationship with Doc, but hey, thank god for Facetime and Zoom! 

Muriel is still around and helping Doc with sending out the newsletters for the Lumberjack Festival, which is usually put together by Hope. 

Lilly confronted Muriel about moving in on Doc, but she swore that she just enjoyed his company in a friendly manner. At this point, I hope that’s all it is because Lilly is right — Doc will never see consider dating anyone else while Hope is still alive and well. 

During his brief chat with Hope, Doc addressed his diagnosis and treatment options, and though none of them seem ideal, he’s going to have to act quickly if he wants a chance at keeping any part of his eyesight. 

With Hope out of town, will he rely on Muriel to help him recover?

Mel found out that Doc has been looking to hire someone and understandably felt betrayed. She assumed that he was trying to hire someone to replace her, but when he revealed that wasn’t the case, Mel knew something serious was up. 

Tara paid Doc a brief visit to ask him to check on Lilly as she noticed that she’s been acting a little differently. It’s only a matter of time before she finds out the truth about her mother’s cancer diagnosis. And it’s going to crush her. I’m dreading that moment since I’m so emotionally involved with these characters. 

Doc and Mel played a huge role in saving Christopher, who left camp early due to chest pains and a cough. 

It’s absolutely normal of Preacher to assume that Christopher was faking his illness since he wasn’t a fan of camp, but I’m glad he didn’t brush him off completely as it could’ve ended in disaster. 

How heartbreaking that Christopher’s condition was a result of being bullied by the older boys?!

Preacher questioned whether or not he’s doing a good job with Christopher, but the fact that he’s asking those questions, feeling inadequate, and second-guessing himself means that he’s a great parent. 

Connie really needs to get a hobby because hounding a 19-year-old for dating is kind of ridiculous. Let the girl have a boyfriend, especially since Ricky is a pretty solid dude compared to others! She should heed her sewing club’s warning — by being too overprotective, she’s going to drive Lizzie to do something stupid. She could be doing worse… she could be dating Parker!

Brady and Brie are heating up despite wanting to keep things casual, but we still haven’t figured out exactly what’s going on with her. 

During a date with Brady, she ran into a young woman who said she was “Don’s intern,” freaked out, and left the bar in a hurry. 

What’s the deal? 

And finally, it was revealed that Jimmy wasn’t responsible for shooting Jack. The man even had a whole alibi. Now, that didn’t make him any less of an asshole when Jack confronted him, but it does mean that Jack’s shooter is still out there roaming free. 

At this point, my money is on Brady. I don’t know why, but it is. I don’t trust him, even if he is trying to turn over a new leaf. He might be trying to get the scent off of him by earning Brie’s trust! 

Who do you think is responsible for the shooting? Was it one of Calvin’s men?

‘Virgin River’ and ‘The Way Home’ Announce First-Ever News for the Hit Small Town Shows

Published

Virgin River Season 5 Episode 7

Fan-favorite small-town shows like Virgin River, The Way Home and One Tree Hill are joining forces for a first-ever experience.

As Virgin River fans patiently await season 8, there’s something else they can look forward to. 

Ben Hollingsworth, who plays Dan Brady on the hit Netflix drama, took to Instagram for a first-ever announcement that delighted fans. 

“Virgin River fans, I know you’re excited. You want to know: is Brady coming back for season 8? You want to know when season 8’s coming out? You want to know if there’s going to be a season 9. Well…” he begins, before a censored sticker covers his mouth and a bleep-out noise cuts off any sliver of news he was going to share. 

“I’m just joking, I can’t tell you any of that,” he admits, before revealing something equally as exciting for the fandom. 

“What I can tell you is that for the first time ever, me and a bunch of my Virgin River cast mates are going to be doing a convention.”

And it’s not just any convention, as he clarifies that it isn’t like “one of those mall ones,” adding that this one is “tailored just for shows like ours.”

By that, he meets small town shows, which have carved out a place for themselves in the TV landscape. 

“It’s called Meet Cute con and the theme is small town television,” he added, noting, “that’s basically Virgin River.”

People reports it will include “celebrity panels, live music, interactive experiences, and Southern food for an intimate fan experience.”

But it’s not just Virgin River! 

Other small town hows included in Meet Cute Con include One Tree Hill and The Way Home.

The confirmed guest list for Small-Town Swoon is as follows: One Tree Hill alum Jana Kramer, The Way Home‘s Evan Williams, and Virgin River stars Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Hollingsworth and Zibby Allen.

Additional celebrities from small town shows will be announced in the coming weeks. 

In the meantime, if you want to be part of the first-ever meet up, you can grab tickets here.

When Will ‘Virgin River’ Season 7 Hit Netflix? Here’s Everything We Know

Published

Virgin River Season 7

Virgin River has established itself as one of Netflix’s best—and longest-running shows.

So it’s no surprise that fans are patiently waiting for the premiere date of the upcoming seventh season.

The comfort of a small town, even one that has its fair share of trouble and drama, is something we all yearn for and crave. 

Thankfully, Benjamin Hollingsworth, who plays Brady on the hit series, recently gave fans some insight into when they can expect new episodes. 

We’ve only been waiting since last December!

 

When Will Virgin River Return for Season 7?

Virgin River Season 7 will not be making a holiday appearance this year, but its return isn’t too far off, according to Hollingsworth. 

While chatting with FOX5 in New York, he revealed the premiere month, stating that it would begin streaming on Netflix in March 2026.

There’s no specific premiere date, as of yet, but as soon as we find out, we’ll let you know! 

 

What Changes Are Coming to ‘Virgin River’ Season 7?

The series has to keep things fresh, so fans can expect some new faces to make their way into town, including The Vampire Diaries alum Sara Canning, who will join as ex-cop Victoria, previously shot in the line of duty and now working for the state medical board as an investigator. What brings her to town, you ask? Well, she’s here looking into Doc’s practice, but she runs into a friend she doesn’t mind catching up with, with the synopsis teasing, “or maybe even pursuing something more.”

Virgin River has a way of convincing people who are just visiting to stay for a while…

The second new face will be Riverdale’s Cody Kearsley, starring as “tough” and “athletic” Clay, described as the type of guy to “immediately” get noticed when he enters a room. He has experience in the “rodeo circuit” and grew up in foster care with his younger sister, whom he hasn’t seen since they were teens and who he’s been looking for ever since.

 

Will There Be a Season 8 of Virgin River?

You betcha! People can’t get enough of Virgin River, with the series scoring an early renewal, with Deadline reporting that the eighth season was confirmed a few days after season 7 wrapped up production.

And that can only mean one thing—there’s still plenty more stories to tell when it concerns Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge), Jack (Martin Henderson), Vernon (Tim Matheson), Brady, Brie (Zibby Allen) and more.

Who Is Lark on ‘Virgin River’?

Who Is Lark on 'Virgin River'?

Lark (Elise Gatien) made her debut on Virgin River Season 5, specifically, during the episodes that tackled the wildfires that ravaged parts of the picturesque town. 

Warning – this post has spoilers from the Virgin River holiday episodes. 

After Jack and Brady risked their lives to save Lark’s daughter, Hazel, who went missing from the campsite during the fire evacuation, the single mom began to bond with the latter, extending her gratitude to him for going out of his way to prioritize her daughter’s safety. 

When Brady found out that Lark and Hazel were squatting, he offered them up a place in one of the lumber yard trailers, a selfless gesture that speaks to his big heart. 

Lark definitely set her sights on Brady, especially on the heels of his generosity, and a connection sparked around the time that Brady’s relationship with Brie crumbled and he was looking for some companionship. Lark also helped Brady see the better parts of himself, as Brie held his lies (even though he couldn’t tell her anything about being an informant) against him and made him feel guilty. 

One thing led to another and eventually, Lark and Brady began a relationship after his romance with Brie ended. It was also helpful that Hazel really took to Brady, and thus, he became a bit of a stepfather figure in her life.

Fast forward a few months to the timeline of the holiday episodes, Brady and Lark are going strong, fully embracing their romance and sweet little family together. Lark even invited Brady to meet her mother, though he claims that’s a little too fast-paced for him, which is understandable considering he still harbors strong feelings for Brie, who has currently moved on with Mike. 

However, Brady seems to be in a good place in life, particularly as everything with Melissa Montgomery’s money laundering/drug smuggling at Emerald Lumber has finally settled down. He’s finally able to move past the nightmare that started when he was roped in by Calvin when he was young and reckless, or so fans thought. In retrospect, I guess we should’ve been more suspicious of Lark’s attempts at inserting herself into Brady’s life, though she definitely made it seem so natural. 

In the final moments of Virgin River Season 6 Episode 12, Lark sneaks off to pick up a call from Hazel’s father, who turns out to be Jimmy, who is serving time in prison. Lark informs him that “Brady doesn’t suspect a thing,” which shows that this is Jimmy’s form of getting close enough to Brady to get revenge. 

It’s an awful and disappointing twist considering all the progress Brady has made to turn over a new leaf and hit refresh. He can’t seem to shake this whole Emerald Lumber fiasco, no matter how hard he tries. Bad luck just seems to follow him based on one bad decision he made way back when—and it’s cost him so much, including his friendships and his romance with Brie. 

I’m hoping that Lark realizes just how good of a guy Brady is and how much he’s sacrificed for her and Hazel and decides not to go through with whatever she and Jimmy have planned.

Lord knows that Brady deserves some sliver of good news and positivity in his life, along with a storyline far removed from the lumber yard.
