What is the plot to Virgin River season six?
There’s no official details known about the upcoming season, but Smith told Deadline to expect a time jump from the end of the second part of season 5’s holiday special. Titled “Father Christmas,” the episode reveals Mel’s biological father, Everett Reid, who seems to want nothing to do with the news to start with.
The time jump will allow for more new plotlines, for Lizzie to finally have her baby, and for other happier news regarding Doc’s health.
“I think with Season 6, we’re getting to see Doc and Hope in a place that we haven’t really gotten to see them before, which is healthy,” said Smith. “I think from the first season when Hope had heart issues and then her traumatic brain injury and his macular degeneration, it felt like an opportunity to see something different in a where season they’re both thriving and healthy. So he’ll get a good prognosis out of it, but other challenges will arise .”
But a lot of the new story will focus on if Everett will be part of Mel’s life, with Smith saying, “Getting to see Mel with a living parent has been fun to explore.”
