Virgin River Season 7 Starts with a Shocking Death
At the tip of (*7*) Season 6, nurse practitioner Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and bar proprietor Jack (Martin Henderson) lastly tied the knot after six seasons of a complicated love story. But one integral determine was notably absent on the ceremony: Jack’s ex, Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley).
In the opening scenes of Season 7, we study a little bit extra about how distressed Jack was a lot when he went to examine on Charmaine and wandered into her ransacked home within the remaining moments of the earlier finale: Drug kingpin and Charmaine’s child daddy Calvin (David Cubitt/Josh Blacker) is lifeless, and Charmaine and her twin infants are lacking. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith tells Tudum, “When we committed to the cliff-hanger of Season 6 with Charmaine not showing up at the wedding, and spent all season planting seeds of danger for her, we went back and forth on, what did Jack see? Who did he see? Did he see anything?”
If Jack didn’t witness anything out of the ordinary at the house, that “would’ve been disappointing,” Smith says. Instead, the mystery unfolding in the first episode of Season 7 will see Brie (Zibby Allen) and Mike (Marco Grazzini) team up to track down Charmaine — and find out how Clear River’s finest hairstylist is connected to Calvin’s death.
