Virgin River wouldn’t be the same without kind-hearted midwife Mel Monroe but how old is the actress who plays her?
The emotional drama is returning to Netflix in a matter of days for its fifth season, picking up from where it left off in 2022.
Pregnant Charmaine (played by Lauren Hammersley) wasn’t feeling right and so called Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) and Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) for help.
But as Mel tried to tend to Charmaine to see what was wrong, she made an unbelievable confession – Jack wasn’t the father of her unborn twins after all.
With Jack and Mel confused over Charmaine’s massive web of lies, how will they react going into season five of Virgin River and who really is the father?
Virgin River actress Alexandra Breckenridge was born on May 15, 1982, which means the star is now 41 years old.
While she does regularly share insights of her life on Instagram, the Mel Monroe actress didn’t post anything on what she got up to on her birthday this year, preferring to keep it private.
In comparison to her fellow Virgin River co-star, Jack Sheridan actor Martin Henderson is seven years older at 48.
Meanwhile, Dan Brady actor Ben Hollingsworth is 38, John Middleton’s Colin Lawrence is 52 and Brie Sheridan star Zibby Allen is 42.
The oldest on set is Doc actor Tim Matheson, aged 75, followed by his onscreen wife Hope McCrea, portrayed by Annette O’Toole, age 71.
Breckenridge’s career initially kicked off when she took on supporting roles in teen comedy movies such as She’s The Man and Big Fat Liar.
The star then went on to feature in the FX series Dirt as reporter Willa McPherson, had a supporting role in The Ex List and, of course, was Sophie Larson in This is Us.
Apart from Virgin River, she will also be in In Limbo which is currently in production.
There will be plenty more to come as well from Virgin River once season five is done and dusted with.
Netflix has already given the drama the green light to return for a sixth series after the 12 latest episodes have been dropped.
With the writers and actors strikes delaying production throughout America though, it is difficult to say when subscribers can expect to see Virgin River again.
