Story Arcs Virgin River Season 6 Can’t Afford to Miss Out
The wait for Season 6 is going to be excruciating enough as it is, but if Netflix is going to ignore these plot lines, we’re going to riot.
When it comes to “Virgin River, ” we all know it’s not just the scenic beauty that keeps us glued to the screen; it’s those juicy story arcs that twist and turn more than a mountain road, so as we rev up for Season 6, there are a handful of plotlines that the show simply cannot afford to miss if they want to keep us binge-watching like there’s no tomorrow. tomorrow.
Sure, the charm of small-town drama mixed with love triangles, medical emergencies, and the occasional (read: frequent) emotional rollercoaster has been the series’ bread and butter.
But now it’s time to up the ante, delving deeper into those character backstories and unresolved worries that have been simmering just below the surface, threatening to boil over in a spectacular fashion that even the most stoic ‘Virgin River’ fans wouldn’t see coming .
And let’s not forget the indispensable need to introduce a couple of wild cards or fresh faces to stir the pot, because what’s a new season without a little unexpected drama to shake up the status quo, ensuring that every episode ends with us frantically hitting the ” Next Episode” button as if our lives depend on it.
Some fans would argue that Virgin River was a melodrama to begin with – after all, it was based on a series of romance novels. Even the end of Season One was awash with soapy tropes, like the revelation that Charmaine was pregnant with Jack’s twins (a revelation that has since been reversed) and the murder of Paige’s husband.
Still, when things get this convoluted it might be time to turn down the drama and return the show to its homey, cozy roots. That’s the vibe that got us all watching in the first place, and it’s a vibe that’s slowly disappearing.
Fans will be relieved to know that after the multiple cliffhangers of this past season, the show has been greenlit for a Season 6. No word yet on when the show will start filming – that will depend in part on the weather in British Columbia, where the series films.
It used to be that we tuned into Virgin River for the gentle romance and general cozy vibes. Sure, there was some spice to keep things interesting (like someone’s abusive husband getting buried in the woods), but largely it was just a sweet little romantic drama.
Now Virgin River is up to its soft-focus elbows in dead mothers, sudden revelations (BAM! It’s Mel’s long-lost father!), love triangles, forest fires, paternity switcheroos, and traumatic brain injuries.
