With Virgin River heading into its seventh season, fans are wondering if Charmaine Roberts’ storyline is finally reaching its conclusion. Lauren Hammersley, who has played the character since Season 1, recently made waves with a blunt comment about Charmaine’s fate, leading many to believe that her departure may be imminent.
Since the beginning, Charmaine has been a source of drama in Virgin River. From her unrequited love for Jack to her long-standing deception about her pregnancy, she has remained one of the show’s most talked-about figures. However, with her main arc seemingly wrapped up in Season 6, it begs the question: What’s left for Charmaine in Season 7?
Hammersley’s recent comment—“Could you please drown her?”—suggests that even she recognizes the fatigue surrounding Charmaine’s character. Whether spoken in jest or as a genuine reflection of her thoughts, the remark has fueled speculation that Charmaine’s time in Virgin River may soon be over.
The writers could take several paths with Charmaine. One possibility is that she finally leaves town for a fresh start, allowing her to move past the mistakes of her past. Another, more dramatic option, would be a tragic exit that shakes up the town. Either way, with Virgin River continuing to evolve, it may be time to bid farewell to one of its longest-running characters.
Only time will tell what Season 7 has in store, but if Hammersley’s words are anything to go by, Charmaine’s days in Virgin River may be numbered.
