Virgin River

Whose baby is Mel having on Virgin River? Is Jack or Mark the father? The season 4 finale of Virgin River gives us an answer, as well as a twist about ...

So: In the finale of Season Four of "Virgin River," Mel gets paperwork back with information about the child she's carrying — including the identity of the father. Drumroll, please: Jack is the child's father — and they're having a girl. She recently suffered the loss of her husband, Mark, who died in a car accident, and a miscarriage. Mel returns to Los Angeles and decides to approach motherhood in a different way. Jack was about to propose when Mel revealed that she was pregnant — and he might not be the father. Mel, a nurse practitioner, moved to the small California town with the intention of recuperation.

The romantic drama now back on Netflix for Season 4 is set in Northern California, but is it shot there?

According to Conde Nast Traveler, the Watershed Grill in Brackendale, north of Vancouver, is used as the exterior of Jack's Bar although scenes inside the bar are shot in a studio.

But the season ends in a cliffhanger (thankfully it's already been renewed!): Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) calls, upset. When they find her, she's having ...

She doesn’t have another touchstone in Virgin River besides Jack at the moment, so I’m hoping that we can develop some more friendships for her going forward in Season 5. Obviously that’s been kind of a ghost for her throughout the seasons, that she’s always wanted to have children and never really thought that she could. This is so lovely and so sweet.” I’m happy that they did that at the end of the season. I’ve been asking for that since the second she came to town. Through Season 4, she’s not able to really talk to many people other than Jack about what’s really going on for her. So at this point, she’s in a really good place besides that sort of needle scratch at the end of the season where Charmaine says she’s been lying to them the entire time. Oh, yeah.” From where Mel came at the beginning of Season 1 to now, I don’t think that she ever imagined that she could find love again, let alone be pregnant again. How is Mel feeling about her and Jack’s future at the end of the season? We have to talk about that Charmaine twist at the end. So for her, it’s not just about what she wants, it’s what she knows is best for the town. We were actually filming on a lake — it wasn’t a green screen or anything — and I was like, “This is the place where you want to get engaged. When they find her, she’s having trouble breathing, and as they await an ambulance, she reveals that her twins aren’t actually Jack’s.

Now streaming on Netflix, the drama's 12-episode fourth season kicks off with Jack strolling alongside a very pregnant Mel, casually exchanging baby name ideas, ...

It’s a storyline that Breckenridge admits can be “rather confusing” once you start digging into the science of it all. This should be obvious for two reasons: (1) Mark is dead, and (2) There’s no way Mel would be that far along given the pace at which this show crawls. “The baby might be his, remember?” Right on cue, in walks Mel’s dead ex-husband, who acknowledges Jack before greeting Mel with a kiss.

Season 4 of 'Virgin River' offers up the answers you've been waiting for (who shot Jack? who's the daddy?) along with new mysteries to unpack.

But she hesitates to shoot, and Vince knocks Preacher to the ground, leaving him with a nasty-looking head wound. Mel offers to fill in until he can find somebody, but how on earth is that going to put in the 25 hours a week Hope needs alongside her job at the clinic? Then Brie heads to the clinic, where she congratulates Mel and immediately picks up on the weird vibes with Cameron. Mel pulls her outside to explain… Brie arrives to say that their mom's demanding she host a shower for the twins in Sacramento now, and she and Jack razz each other a bit. They take their celebration to a suite, and as they lounge in bed, Mel's email dings with the paternity results. Three days later, Jack and Mel are at the OB for the paternity test, and afterward they head home to make plans for the glamping business, clearly in a better place with each other. The next day, Preacher takes Jack back to his Bronco and urges him to see a therapist. Then he digs in his heels and refuses to go to the wedding, in part because Jack will be there. Joey walks down the aisle in their mother's earrings that Mel gave her that morning, and Brady slips in late, whispering to Brie that he'd do anything for her. Then Cameron arrives and brings up the drug cabinet again, but Hope hustles him to the maypole to avoid that conversation with Doc. He floats the idea of Denny staying with them, but Hope's frustrated waiting for her body to heal and wants Doc to protect her solitude while she does. The women of the town are ready with a warm welcome and stampede to make appointments with Dr. Hayek. To his credit, he gamely keeps them all.

From the moment Virgin River first debuted back in December 2019, fans have been captivated by the romantic drama inspired by Robyn Carr's beloved novels.

Because Virgin River is a Netflix Original, the series does not air on a broadcast or cable channel before it hits streaming and is released exclusively on Netflix. As such, Virgin River fans are able to watch all 12 episodes of season 4 now — making the show a perfect weekend binge watch! Fast forward to today and Virgin River has become one of television’s most beloved shows, with its fourth season arriving on July 20 bringing with it a new batch of episodes for viewers to enjoy.

During the Virgin River season four finale, Charmaine reveals Jack isn't the father of her twins. Here are a few theories while we wait for season five.

Brady and Brie seem to be a happy budding couple by the end of Virgin River season four—but what if he and Charmaine had an off-screen fling back in season one? And I think I would be the one who was shot at the end of season two, and not him. According to CNY Fertility, these drugs “can be prescribed in conjunction with several reproductive treatments,” including IVF. While it seems plausible that Mel was brushing up on the information for herself, she wasn’t actively considering motherhood at this point in her relationship with Jack. What if Charmaine had been pursuing fertility treatments behind Jack’s back, and Mel was familiarizing herself with her new patient’s medical history? Of course, if this were the case, why would Charmaine go through the trouble of lying to Jack, especially when he wasn’t that invested in their relationship by the end, anyway? But while one baby question has been resolved, another arrived during the final seconds of season four (oh, Virgin River—never change). After Jack and Mel rush to Charmaine’s house to help with a medical emergency, she says her mystery affliction is karma. But if it’s not him, then, uh, who is the father of Charmaine’s twins on Virgin River? Though Jack no longer having kids with Charmaine will probably make his life with Mel much, much easier, it’s still a question worth digging into. But if you rewatch the first two seasons of Virgin River closely, you’ll notice several potential hints toward Charmaine’s own struggles in this area. The only other person Charmaine’s been romantically linked to on Virgin River is, of course, Todd, making him a natural first suspect. Later, in the season two premiere, Mel finally decides to take on Charmaine as a patient—and the very next time we see her, she’s studying up on some very intriguing medications (clomiphene citrate and letrozole) in an article about ovulation induction. When Mel told Jack that she was pregnant but unsure of her new baby’s paternity, fans were forced to wait a year to find out who the dad-to-be was: Jack, or Mel’s deceased ex-husband, Mark. Fortunately, season four made it clear as Clear River itself— as many fans predicted, Jack is, indeed, the dad. Virgin River loves its cliffhangers—and last year’s reveal at the end of season three was one of the biggest yet. The twins—they’re not your babies,” she tearfully confesses to Jack.

Mel revealed in Season 3 of 'Virgin River' that she was pregnant. However, she wasn't sure who the father was. Who is Mel's baby daddy?

Charmaine confesses in the Virgin River Season 4 cliffhanger that Jack actually isn't the father of her twins. However, before Mel reveals the results of the paternity test, he reassures her that he'll love her child no matter what. The drama-packed season ends without a concrete answer. Mel slept with Jack shortly after the IVF treatment, hence her "Who's the daddy" confusion. It should have been easy to tell the father of her child — right? After the breakup, Mel took matters into her own hands.

While the first two seasons of Virgin River debuted in November, Netflix moved the show to its summer programming slate in 2021 where it enjoyed a nice boost in ...

Barring any scheduling shakeups, it’s looking highly likely that the fifth season of Virgin River will release on Netflix sometime in July 2023. The bad news is that we’re in for another lengthy wait for the next season, but we do have a pretty good idea of when exactly the next season could be arriving on Netflix! Without giving away any spoilers, let’s just say that Virgin River season 4 ended with a batch of shocking cliffhangers that are sure to keep us talking for the next several months ahead.

Things get very dicey for Ben Hollingsworth's Dan Brady at the start of "Virgin River" Season 4 on Netflix.

As such, he survives all of Virgin River Season 4. And the good news for fans of the character is – he survives his injuries. Brie ends Season 4 deciding to press charges on Don, which could seriously dredge up her past trauma and impact on her current love affair in the next season. As the episode ends, Brady is seen bleeding out in the yard. Jimmy was introduced in the last season of Virgin River as the right-hand man of Calvin (David Cubitt), the local cannabis farm owner and gang leader. Of course, that means that there are major spoilers ahead for the Netflix show...

Last year, the third season of Netflix's hit series Virgin River left fans with the biggest cliffhanger in the show's short history. The season finale saw ...

Charmaine tells Jack at the end of the season that she lied about the father of the children, but she doesn't go as far as to say who the real father is. Much to the relief of Virgin River fans, the baby does belong to Jack. Virgin River left fans hanging for most of Season 4, allowing the tension over the baby's father's identity to build.

Virgin River season 4 viewers aren't a fan of Dr Cameron Hayek as he could destroy Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan's relationship.

Grace is a digital writer with WhatToWatch.com, where she writes series guides for must-watch shows and the latest TV news. In other words, he suggested that she can do better, but she quickly shut down the conversation. Later on in the series, Mel and Cameron went out for lunch where he confessed that he cared about her and warned her about Jack’s drinking.

The question looms large over the Netflix series' fourth season, with Jack initially extremely reluctant to take a paternity test and get an answer once and for ...

It's a good thing too — since the season ends on another massive revelation, the fact that Charmaine's (Lauren Hammersley) twins are not actually Jack's after all. "But it was a really interesting take that the writers chose, where they gave Jack this perspective of, 'Okay, I'm going to be the father to this woman I love's child, but it may not be my own.' One would assume you have the same relationship to that child but there is a selfishness to people too, and this idea of it's not mine, so will I have the same degree of connection to this child? "Mark and Jack look very different, so I feel like eventually you're going to figure it out." It's so powerful and strong between them that if it was Mark's, it just felt like it was the past coming up again. So it's an interesting ride they go along that they then try and navigate that and be respectful of the other's individual take on it and all that drama that ensues from it." But it was interesting that Jack, who is a man who doesn't know that from experience, has doubts.

Already renewed by Netflix, 'Virgin River' season 5 is expected to film in Vancouver in summer 2022.

Seasons three and four were released a year apart, in July 2021 and July 2022—signaling that Netflix may be aiming to release one new season of the show per year. Now that season 4 of Virgin River is out in the world, fans are itching to find out when they can expect season 5—and what that season might look like. The pace is leisurely, the relationships are slow burners, and the electronics are few and far between—but Netflix has moved fast to capitalize on its unexpected success, quickly renewing Virgin River for seasons 4 and 5 in the wake of the release of season three.

Virgin River is filmed amongst stunning mountain and lake scenery. Here's where the locations fans have come to know and love can be found in real life.

The endangered Virgin River Chub can be found living in this stretch of river. Agassiz, 90 minutes east of Vancouver, has the accolade of being the place the “Welcome to Virgin River” sign was placed for filming. According to Condé Nast Traveller (opens in new tab), the Watershed Grill is 40 miles north of Vancouver, and is a popular spot for eagle-spotting. One fan commented on a picture shared by the account, with “I’m ready for some Watershed Gill in July - Virgin River”. No, Virgin River is not a real place. The property last went on sale in 2021, for a cool $2.3 million. When Mel arrives in Virgin River in season 1, the interior of the cabin is in a dilapidated state. Romantic drama enthusiasts have been quick to draw comparisons between Virgin River and the similarly quaint settings where popular Netflix show Sweet Magnolias is filmed (opens in new tab). Aptly named “The Caretaker’s Cottage”, the cabin is also no stranger to featuring on television. While filming in the area, Jack actor Martin Henderson often shares pictures of the beautiful scenery with fans on his Instagram account. With Jack’s former girlfriend pregnant with twins, questions over their paternity have been raised - fans are keen to find out who is the father of Charmaine’s twins on Virgin River (opens in new tab). Not the only resident questioning her child’s father, Mel’s pregnancy in season 3 (opens in new tab) also left fans reeling. Not only are the characters of the sleepy rural town leaving characters glued to their screens, but the beautiful mountain scenery adds to the escapism of the show.
