Warning! SPOILERS about Virgin River season 6, episode 10 ahead.
The cliffhanger ending ofVirgin Riverseason 6 hinted at a tragic fate for one key character, but its centrality and some clues scattered throughout the season might have also revealed how that isn’t the case yet.ThroughoutVirgin River’s six seasons, the romantic drama established itself as a TV show with happily ever after endingsrather than tragedies. While some deaths were inevitable to set up Mel’s story – like Sarah’s and Mark’s – all the other possibly sad storylines didn’t end in tragedy unless they were signposted as such since the character’s introduction, like Lilly’s storyline inVirgin Riverproved.
Virgin River Season 6 Soundtrack Guide: Every Song & When They Play
Virgin River season 6’s soundtrack perfectly accompanies the storylines’ challenges and joys, making the atmosphere of Mel & Jack’s wedding perfect.
Charmaine has been the main antagonist to Jack and Mel’s love storysince the beginning ofVirgin River.Her lies and machinations kept Jack and Mel apart for two seasons, but finding love eventually made her relationship with Mel and Jack better as she isn’t interested anymore in driving a wedge between them. This effectively makes her a crucial character who is now closer to Mel and Jack, making the heavily hinted tragic ending she could have suffered based onVirgin Riverseason 6’s cliffhanger finaleout of character for the romantic drama.
Charmaine Being Unconscious As Her Twins Are Kidnapped Is A More Likely Development
Charmaine’s storyline inVirgin Riverseason 6 saw her finally not obstructing Mel and Jack’s love, instead welcoming their help in her fight for sole custody against Calvin and offering her services as a hairdresser for Mel on her and Jack’s big day. Charmaine’s disappearance when she should have joined Mel’s wedding party worried Mel, but the fact Charmaine messaged her about something coming up didn’t fully raise the alarm. However, once she stopped answering everybody, Jack had to check up on her, andVirgin Riverseason 6’s ending didn’t clarify what he found except for showing Jack’s shocked expression.
Virgin River’s upbeat narrative would darken too much if Charmaine were to be killed off, making her being only hurt likelier.
Mel conveniently reminding Jack and the public how Charmaine was a no-show at their wedding and was also fighting Calvinfor sole custody of their twinsheavily hinted that whatever befell them had to do with theVirgin Rivervillainfrom seasons 1 and 2. However, it’s unlikelyVirgin Riverseason 6killed off Charmaine in the season finale. Indeed,Virgin River’s upbeat narrative would darken too much if Charmaine were to be killed off, as she was always a key character and now she was even on good terms with Mel and Jack, making her being only hurt likelier.
Calvin Attacking Charmaine Sets Him Up As Virgin River Season 7’s Main Villain
Calvin Was Already A Villain In Virgin River’s Earlier Season But Was Forgotten
Whatever happened to Charmaine, there’s a good chance for the perpetrator to be Calvin. He had after all an interest in not losing custody of his twins, and he threatened both Charmaine and Jack when he intervened. Moreover,Virgin River’s earlier seasons already established Calvin as the town’s biggest villain. After all, he kidnapped Mel and Jack and put someone in Jack’s Bar to sabotage it, proving himself more than capable of returning as the drama’s main villain, after Melissa’s arrival let her take over asVirgin River’s worst villain.
Virgin River’s fentanyl business passing hands afterVirgin Riverseason 3 hit Calvin’s status as a villain, making Melissa much scarier.
Calvin taking back his sons after hurting Charmaine can reestablish his status as a major villain inVirgin Riverseason 7. While he kept the reputation afterVirgin Riverseasons 1 and 2,Mellissa’s involvement in all nefarious purposes made Calvin inevitably look like an easier villain to handle. His actions inVirgin Riverseason 6 can finally place him back as a villain in his own right that needs to be defeated.
Virgin Riverseason 6 is now streaming in its entirety on Netflix.
