Virgin River season 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 and Virgin River season 7 on the way. Because Netflix renewed the next season before the previous one released, Virgin River season 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 in Virgin River season 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 unflappable character on Virgin River. One theory about the cliffhanger would further Mel’s story, if true, but could be too dark.
Charmaine Dies & Mel & Jack Raise Her Twins – Virgin River Season 7 Theory Explained
After the shocking cliffhanger at the end of Virgin River season 6, fans started speculating about what really happened to Charmaine. One dark theory by Reddit user u/HauntsFromMyPast suggests that Charmaine is actually dead. They predict that after taking out a restraining order in Virgin River season 6, the twins’ father, Calvin, murdered her. If the theory is correct, the justice system will send Calvin to prison, and Mel and Jack will raise the twins. While it’s disturbing to think about a semi-lovable main character getting murdered, this theory isn’t entirely baseless.
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, in Virgin River season 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’s journey through infertility started long before the start of Virgin 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 through Virgin River season 5, she loses the baby.
