Resolving the Major Plot Issue: Unveiling the Solution in Virgin River Season 5 Part 2
Virgin River Season 5 Part 2 tackles the much-awaited resolution to Charmaine's pregnancy predicament, delivering two exciting new episodes that address this long-standing issue head-on
Virgin River returns with two new holiday episodes in the much-anticipated Season 5 Part 2, finally addressing a long-standing issue. In Part 1 of Season 5, the fictional town experienced even more dramatic upheaval, including sexual assaults, fires, and the return of characters thought to be long gone.
Despite the Christmas setting in the final two episodes, the action continues to build with new cliffhangers set up for Season 6. Amidst the chaos, a longstanding issue seems to have finally been addressed in one of the new scenes in Part 2 of Virgin River Season 5.
Virgin River Season 5 Part 2 addresses Charmaine’s pregnancy in new episodes
During the two new Virgin River episodes in Season 5 Part 2, the show’s writers appear to have addressed one huge ongoing plot problem – Charmaine’s pregnancy.
Charmaine's pregnancy has been a long time coming for fans, as it started back in Season 1. At that time, her ex-boyfriend Jack (Martin Henderson) was believed to be the father, causing a rift in his relationship with his new girlfriend Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge).
In Season 2, Jack continued to put on a brave face to support his new family. However, things took a turn in Season 3 when Charmaine started a relationship with Todd (played by Patrick Sabongui). It wasn't until Season 4 that it was revealed that Jack wasn't actually the father. In Season 5 Part 1, Calvin returns and Charmaine reveals that the babies are his. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Charmaine had good dramatic reason to stay pregnant.
However, some fans believe that this storyline has dragged on for too long, with the writers of Virgin River seemingly milking it for drama. In a new scene in Season 5 Part 2, Charmaine expresses her frustration by saying, "I feel like I've been pregnant for years."
One fan shared their thoughts on X/Twitter, saying "Charmaine: I feel like I've been pregnant for years. Me: YOU HAVE! This had to be on purpose in the new episodes of Virgin River." Another fan added, "Best line - I laughed out loud."
"Charmaine is still pregnant? It's already season 5," remarked one fan, while another added, "Hopefully Charmaine has those twins this season, they're taking their time at this point."

Editor's P/S
As a Virgin River fan, I was thrilled to see the resolution of Charmaine's pregnancy storyline in Season 5 Part 2. This plot point had been dragging on for several seasons, and it was starting to feel like it was never going to be resolved. I was relieved that the writers finally gave Charmaine the closure she needed, and I'm excited to see what's next for her character.
I also appreciated the way the writers handled the reveal of the babies' father. It was a complete surprise, and it left me eager to learn more about Calvin and his relationship with Charmaine. I'm hoping that we'll get to see more of Calvin in Season 6, and that we'll learn more about his backstory.
Overall, I'm very happy with the way Virgin River Season 5 Part 2 resolved the Charmaine pregnancy storyline. It was a satisfying conclusion to a long-running plot point, and it left me excited for what's next for the show.
