The Unveiling of Shocking Storylines
Even though Virgin River Season 6 has yet to get an official release date, the next installment may have some surprising and unexpected storylines that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.
The cast of Virgin River
The last episode of Season 5 Part 2 left fans on the ultimate cliffhanger, with Mel's biological father Everett explaining that he needed to tell her something. While we eagerly await the answer to that question, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith has teased exactly what might be coming up in Season 6.
According to the report from EarlyBirdTimes, it seems likely that Everett's news will lead to a 'showdown' between him and the existing father figure in Mel's life, Doc. Additionally, another unexpected tease concerns Doc's health, hinting at a life-changing diagnosis and his sight. However, reports suggest that Doc's sight is something he won't lose.
The Road to Parenthood and Returning Characters
One of the major storylines in Virgin River Season 6 is set to be Mel and Jack's decision to become parents. Their rocky journey throughout their relationship, including a miscarriage, has led to this inevitable conclusion for some fans.
'I don't think Jack was 'pushing' her to commit to trying again, he was being supportive because she was the one who has always been desperate for a baby,' one Reddit user mused. 'As for them getting married, who cares? They clearly don't see it as a necessary requirement before starting a family.'
Ava's return is also hinted at, Paige is not set to make a return, and a reunion between tortured lovers Brady and Brie is on the cards for the new episodes.
What Lies Ahead in Season 6
Season 6 of Virgin River is anticipated to scale back on its intense drama in favor of wholesome love. Tensions between characters like Muriel and Cameron, Pony the dog, and Preacher are expected to rise, and Preacher's fate will finally be revealed.
The most significant news for Season 6 is the likely significant jump in time, with a planned element that will shape the season based on audience reaction. This means that the exact time frames are as yet unknown, adding an extra layer of excitement and anticipation for fans.
