Top 5 Virgin River Men as Boyfriend Material, Ranked by Fans
Over its five-season run, Virgin River has given us plenty of male characters to swoon over. But some of them are just more likable than others. And if you consider them as boyfriends, these characters are drastically different from one another.
5. Dan Brady (Ben Hollingsworth)
Although bad boys are considered hot and desirable, it seems that Virgin River’s audience is too mature to buy into this type of character. Brady may be fun and exciting to be around, but he has too many problems, both emotional and with the law, to be a reliable partner. At the same time, there seems to be room for improvement, which is why viewers don’t give up on him completely.
4. Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson)
Virgin River’s main protagonist doesn’t seem to have what it takes to be a good partner. Sure, Jack and Mel’s love story is awe-inspiring, but it seems that only Melinda brings out the best in him. Take, for example, Jack’s treatment of Charmaine. It wasn’t politely, to say the least. He’s too selfish and smug to care about other people, their feelings and needs.
3. Mike Valenzuela (Marco Grazzini)
As one of Jack’s friends, Mike has a significant storyline in the show. After all, he is trying to woo Jack’s sister, Brie. Mike is honest, caring, and reasonable, which is why many Virgin River fans would like to see him as their boyfriend. Plus, he’s very handsome, right?
2. John ‘Preacher’ Middleton (Colin Lawrence)
The ultimate good guy on Virgin River is very unlucky in love. In fact, he’s the main underdog when it comes to romance. John wears his heart on his sleeve, which may seem immature, but it gives him a huge advantage – he’s honest and you’ll always know where you stand with him. Also, Preacher is very romantic and emotional, which is the most satisfying thing in a relationship.
1.Dr. Vernon ‘Doc’ Mullins (Tim Matheson)
The silver fox of Virgin River is arguably the most fascinating man on the show. Doc is smart and kind. He has a calm demeanor. When it comes to dealing with people, his wisdom and patience are truly admirable. Most importantly, Doc is completely unpretentious, which makes him easy to be around. And his immense charisma makes up for his age.
