Season 6 of Virgin River ended on a shocking cliffhanger that left fans wondering about the fate of one key character. While the show has always delivered happy endings, the season finale introduced a possible tragic turn for Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley), leaving viewers wondering about her future. However, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith reassured fans, offering clues about the direction of the storyline.

What Happened and What’s Next for Virgin River?

At the end of the season, Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) noticed that Charmaine was missing from their wedding. Jack then went to her house, only to find signs of a struggle and something shocking in the nursery. While the scene raised concerns about Charmaine’s wellbeing, Smith gave some hope for her and the twins.

“I would be concerned about Charmaine,” Smith said. He also acknowledged the intense emotions surrounding Charmaine’s story, especially after her difficult journey in previous seasons, “I feel like after Season 5 with the miscarriage, I want to promise that no babies will be harmed in the production of this show in the future, but the circumstances are messy, and Charmaine’s at the center of it, which is where she tends to typically find herself, in the middle of a mess, right?”

Smith teased that Season 7 will pick up immediately where Season 6 left off, with a brief time jump of about two hours. “When we pick up in Season 7, there’s a time jump of maybe two hours, so we pick right back up in that moment and keep running,” Smith explained. This quick continuation will ensure that the drama keeps its momentum from the previous season, offering fans answers about Charmaine’s fate.

Another major storyline that Season 7 must address is the fate of Doc’s (Tim Matheson) medical license and clinic. His actions during a house call have raised concerns, and his license has been temporarily suspended pending an investigation. Meanwhile, Hope (Annette O’Toole) revealed some troubling news—plans are in motion to take over their clinic. “A woman on the Grace Valley Hospital board of directors shared plans to bring their network into Virgin River,” Hope said. This new development will put the future of the clinic in jeopardy, adding more tension to the upcoming season.
