New episodes of “Virgin River” have caused quite a stir. Plot twists,
difficult choices and accusations – how will the characters deal with
the consequences in season 4? Spoilers from the finale!
“Virgin River” proved that there is room for great drama in a small town. In the 3rd season of the popular Netflix production, we met Brie (Zibby Allen), Jack’s (Martin Henderson) sister, Doc (Tim Matheson) had to deal with the absence of Hope (Annette O’Toole), not to mention the arson of the house of his beloved Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and the arrest of Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth). What awaits the residents of Virgin River in season 4?
The showrunner of the series, Sue Tenney, and the actors revealed a bit about the characters’ fate in an interview with TVLine. If you are curious what’s next for Mel and Jack and whose baby this is, check here. Below is a brief overview of the remaining characters.
Virgin River: Did Brady Shoot Jack?
Benjamin Hollingsworth admitted before the premiere of season 3 that he was aware that Brady was the main suspect. In the new episodes, this hero established a relationship with Jacek’s sister and swore that it was not him who shot her brother.
The actor also referred to the emerging feeling between Brady and Brie. How will the woman react to being arrested?
Virgin River season 4: What’s next for Lizzie and Ricky?
The show’s creators were also not kind to the fans of Lizzie (Sarah Dudgle) and Ricky (Grayson Maxwell Gurnsey). The boy lied to his beloved about enlisting in the army, and she began to consider returning to her ex. What does the showrunner of the series say about this?
Sue Tenney emphasized that Ricky’s dreams of enlisting weren’t as impulsive as it may seem – it’s something he’s been thinking about since he was a child.
Hope was absent for most of the season – and when she was finally able to return to Virgin River, she was the victim of a serious accident. Although Doc cannot imagine life without her, everything indicates that the woman’s condition will not improve quickly. Does this mean we will have another funeral?
As the showrunner previously revealed, the absence of Hope in this season was due to the fact that Annette O’Toole was unable to come to the set of the series during the pandemic. Now Sue Tenney did not want to say whether the heroine would survive, but assured that she “would like to have Hope back.”
Virgin River: Does Doc have a grandson?
One of the most shocking moments in the season 3 finale of “Virgin River” was the appearance of a new hero at the motel. The boy told a surprised Sue Ellen that he was looking for his grandfather, who was supposedly Doc. As Sue Tenney confessed, the doctor has many secrets waiting to be discovered.
Netflix has not officially announced the order for season 4, but unofficially it is known that it is planned. Filming for the new episodes is scheduled to begin in Canada at the end of July and last until the end of November.
