As Virgin River enters production for its highly anticipated seventh season, one of its biggest stars has just dropped a bombshell: there’s something he absolutely hates about the Netflix series. While fans have long adored the small-town charm and romantic drama of the show, the actor’s shocking admission is stirring up controversy.
The unnamed star recently spoke candidly about his frustration with a key aspect of Virgin River, and fans are split. Some are rallying behind him, while others are calling him ungrateful. The biggest question now is—will this issue affect his future with the show?
What Exactly Does He Hate?
Rumors suggest that the star is unhappy with the show’s pacing and lack of character development. While Virgin River thrives on slow-burn storytelling, this actor believes it drags things out unnecessarily. “There are so many times when a storyline could be wrapped up in a few episodes, but instead, we’re stretching it over an entire season,” he reportedly said. “It gets frustrating when you feel like your character is stuck in the same place.”
Some fans completely agree, citing the repetitive nature of certain storylines—especially the ongoing drama between Mel and Jack. But others argue that the slow-burn approach is what makes Virgin River special.
Is Netflix to Blame?
Another major gripe from the actor appears to be Netflix’s production and release strategy. With the streaming giant now dividing seasons into parts and stretching out the wait time, actors feel just as frustrated as fans. “It feels like the momentum gets lost,” he said. “By the time we pick up filming again, it’s hard to stay fully invested.”
With Virgin River Season 7 underway, will this criticism spark changes behind the scenes, or could it even lead to an early exit for the frustrated star? Let us know your thoughts!
