Good drama isn’t drama if it doesn’t have a wedding. Thus, the Virgin River actress reveals what the biggest wedding in the series could be.
Since its debut in 2019, “Virgin River” has won over fans by telling the story of nurse Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge)
and her romance with former Marine Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson).
The couple’s relationship faced ups and downs, and they overcame obstacles in a true emotional rollercoaster.
Mel and Jack’s past traumas were key elements in their relationship. But that doesn’t mean that, so far, they haven’t grown as a couple. “Virgin River” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith believes it’s time to take the next step in their sentimental relationship. A decision that could occur in the sixth season of the program.
The fifth season of “Virgin River” ended on March 30 on the Netflix streaming platform. And now there is speculation about a possible marriage between Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan in the future of the series, probably in the sixth season. Production on the new episodes will begin in the summer of 2024, and apparently the writers are planning to walk the romantic couple down the aisle.
Although the showrunner did not reveal many details, Alexandra Breckenridge, Mel Monroe’s interpreter, stated in a recent interview that she has discussed with the showrunner about the possible ceremony and considered the pros and cons. The actress, who got married in 2015, shared that she imagined Mel and Jack’s ceremony. Thus, highlighting the similarity to her own celebration in Dunton Hot Springs, Colorado.
Although the actress is open to the idea, she emphasized that she doesn’t want to feel like she’s recreating her own marriage on screen, bringing a tone of authenticity to the possible union in fiction. Fans are now anxiously awaiting more details about what the sixth season of “Virgin River” has in store for the couple and whether the altar will truly be the next step in this exciting romantic journey.
