This article includes mentions of murder, andit has MAJOR SPOILERS forVirgin Riverseason 6!
Virgin Riverseason 7 could include a dark and tragic fate for Charmaine if one fan theory is correct, ending a 3-year story for Mel at the same time. The romantic drama is Netflix’s current longest-running scripted TV show still releasing, with six seasons out andVirgin Riverseason 7 on the way. Because Netflix renewed the next season before the previous one released,Virgin Riverseason 6 could end on a big cliffhanger, knowing viewers would get a resolution.
The big mystery surrounds Charmaine, Jack’s lover-turned-enemy-turned-friend. Though she’s had a contentious relationship with Jack and Mel, the duo get closer to her inVirgin Riverseason 6. Jack helps her get a restraining order against the twins’ father, Calvin, and Charmaine offers to do Mel’s hair for the wedding. However,she misses the wedding, so Jack goes to check on her.It’s unclear what’s in her apartment, but whatever he finds shakes up Jack, the most unflappablecharacter onVirgin River. One theory about the cliffhanger would further Mel’s story, if true, but could be too dark.

Is The Virgin River Book Series Finished? What We Know About Robyn Carr’s Upcoming Romance Novels
Netflix’s romance series Virgin River is based on novels by Robyn Carr, but how much do the books and the television series actually align?
Calvin has shown himself to be a violent man who exerts his will. It’s not out of the realm of possibility for him to murder someone. Additionally, inVirgin Riverseason 1,Mel explains that she could take temporary custody of baby Chloe because she’s a medical provider.Theoretically, she and Jack could take in the twins as foster parents, and this could transition into adopting the children. Typically, reunification is the primary goal of foster care, but in this case, the state wouldn’t have the opportunity to bring the babies back together with their parents.
Mel Raising Charmaine’s Kids Would Likely End Her Pregnancy Storyline That Began In Season 4
Mel And Jack Would Have The Children They Dreamed Of If They Took In Charmaine’s Babies
Mel’s journey through infertility started long before the start ofVirgin River, but it becomes increasingly important to her character arc over time. Before the show began, she experienced a stillbirth and then struggled to conceive again with her first husband, Mark. However, the emotional impact of her experience becomes integral to her story in season 4 when Mel gets pregnant with Jack’s child. The two are unbelievably excited at the prospect of having children. Unfortunately, halfway throughVirgin Riverseason 5, she loses the baby.
Every Season Of Netflix’s Virgin River, Ranked
Every season of Netflix’s Virgin River is filled with memorable twists and turns, but some work particularly well and stand out above the others.
Mel and Jack go back and forth about the idea of trying to have a child again, with Jack wanting to work towards conceiving naturally while Mel wants to stop. Eventually, they decide that adoption is the right choice for them.If they adopt Charmaine’s twins, it would seemingly bring to a close their story of trying to have a baby.Instead, their storyline would transition into navigating parenthood together.
Virgin River Season 6’s Twist With Mel’s Patient Makes The Charmaine Theory Less Likely
While the Charmaine theory is interesting, the ending ofVirgin Riverseason 6 makes the likelihood minuscule. Throughout the season, Mel helps with prenatal care for a young woman who is planning to give her baby to a family that lives in the town of Virgin River. However, in the last moments of the finale,the young woman tells Mel that the adoptive parents have pulled out, and she wants Mel and Jack to take the baby instead.
Jack might have felt prepared for twins, but three newborn babies at once might be more than they’re ready to take on.
When speaking withTudumabout the adoption storyline inVirgin Riverseason 6, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith hinted that Mel’s patient’s biological child would become her baby. He said this:
“Looking at alternative forms of becoming parents is important. I feel like I’ve always only seen adoption as this very simple transaction of ‘she wants a baby, and you don’t want your baby.’ But it’s much more complex than that. So I want to see a really special journey between Mel and Jack as they come to discover the baby that was meant for only them.”
Based on this description, it seems Mel and Jack might navigate the adoption journey with the young woman who Mel has taken care of throughoutVirgin Riverseason 6. If they take in her baby,the likelihood of them also raising Charmaine’s twins is low. Jack might have felt prepared for twins, but three newborn babies at once might be more than they’re ready to take on.
7 Biggest Changes Virgin River Season 6 Makes To The Books
The different timelines between Virgin River and Carr’s book series set in the town of the same name force season 6 to change much from the books.
Luckily, the couple taking on the twins might not even be necessary based onCharmaine’s fate in theVirgin Riverbooks. She doesn’t die in the Robyn Carr novels. Additionally, Charmaine dying at the hands of an abusive ex is exceptionally dark — more so than anythingVirgin Riverhas done thus far. It seems more likely that Charmaine will be alive to raise her own twins.
