Small city romance followers with a Netflix subscription have already gotten excellent news on the subject of Virgin River, because the present was not too long ago renewed for Season 8 on the heels of Virgin River Season 7 finishing filming. Whereas we’re not completely positive whether or not or not the seventh set of episodes will hit the 2025 TV schedule, we do know that one other new solid member has been confirmed. Nonetheless, I now have a weirdly particular purpose to fret that their character would possibly trigger bother for one of many drama’s {couples}.
Who’s Been Forged In Virgin River Season 7 And Who Are They Enjoying?
TV Line has confirmed that Austin Nichols, who performed Julian Baker on One Tree Hill (amongst his different credit on exhibits like Ray Donovan, Walker, Bates Motel and The Strolling Useless, and in motion pictures similar to The Six Triple Eight and I Know What You Did Final Summer time) might be part of the Virgin River solid each time followers can tune in to the upcoming Season 7. That’s the excellent news, as a result of all of us find it irresistible when issues on this small California city might be shaken up a bit.
You’ll be questioning, after all, who the brand new character is that Nichols might be portraying, and that’s the place we’re gonna have to attend a bit (not so excellent news), as a result of nothing has been revealed about this beginner simply but. So, why am I frightened he’ll interrupt the romantic goings-on in Virgin River? It’s due to the music that Nichols used when he teased his half on the collection on Instagram. Have a look:
I’ll admit, at first there appears to be no purpose to fret. However, I couldn’t assist however discover the music he used to accompany this brief clip, and after I realized that it was used because the backdrop for a vital second in Season 1, Episode 8, that’s when all my alarm bells began going off.
Why I’m Nervous For Two Virgin River {Couples} In Season 7
First off, let me simply say that I believe Denny and Virgin River all-star Lizzie are completely secure in Season 7, as are Hope and Doc, on the subject of the romantic pairings on the town. Clearly, the Mike/Brie/Brady triangle has but to settle again down into a suitable type (although I’ve hopes {that a} totally different new casting will assist clear all that mess up), however due to the mysterious character being performed by Austin Nichols, I do now have some fears about what’s to return on the subject of…dunh, dunh, dunhhhhh…Mel and Jack, or Preacher and Kaia.
I do know! Mel and Jack are lastly married and constructing their dream residence and presumably adopting a child after Mel’s miscarriages and all of the Charmaine twin drama (which technically continues however not in a Jack’s-now-tied-to-her-for-life means) that Jack went by means of. Right here’s the factor concerning the music that Nichols utilized in his Insta publish, although. As famous, it went with a serious Season 1 scene the place Jack takes Mel again to her cabin, after he’s had it fastened up in an effort to get her to remain on the town.
She’s so awed that she offers in and kisses him, revealing that she does have emotions for him and needs to present issues a strive, regardless of the moderately current lack of her husband and Jack’s earlier Charmaine entanglement. Large scene, proper? Properly, the music in query (which is the Likelihood Peña cowl of Jason Mraz’s “I Gained’t Give Up”) focuses on, you guessed it, not giving up on the particular person you’re keen on, even when “you’re needing your area” and so they go off to determine some stuff out. Sure, Mel was married for some time earlier than dropping her husband, however what if this new man is an previous, previous love of hers who’s attempting to rekindle issues? It’s not not possible, guys!
I can acknowledge that it’s extra seemingly that Preacher and Kaia will really feel some pressure from this dude displaying up. After getting by means of the trial and having Kaia stand by him, Preacher was already speaking about marriage close to the tip of Season 6. Kaia, nonetheless, remains to be coping with the fallout from her earlier marriage ending. They talked about it and each are cool with simply relationship for now, however that would change if the still-new-to-town Kaia has a significantly better ex present up all of a sudden. What if Nichols’ character finally ends up being somebody she nonetheless has a factor for, however who she merely thought was thus far in her previous that he couldn’t be an possibility anymore?
Look, I don’t know what’s going to occur, however evidently the usage of that music (amongst the entire ones on the planet) isn’t only a coincidence. We’ll seemingly have to attend till Virgin River Season 7 comes out to know for positive.
