Who The Father Of Charmaine’s Baby Could Be

While Virgin River primarily focuses on Mel and Jack’s relationship, the Charmaine Virgin River pregnancy has been another focal point and issue for the couple. Her pregnancy is revealed at the end of Virgin River season 1, and she identifies Jack as the father. This causes Mel to break off her budding relationship with Jack. But, of course, the two end up rekindling their romance, much to Charmaine’s dismay. Jack and Charmaine disagree on many things, such as where to raise the babies and Jack’s expected input. Still, they eventually decide to co-parent alongside Mel and Charmaine’s new husband, Todd. But in the shocking Virgin River season 4 ending, a panicked Charmaine reveals that Todd is leaving her and that she lied about Jack being the father of the twins.

With the reveal that Jack is not the father, the question now becomes who exactly is the birth father of the Charmaine Virgin River character’s twins. While many theories have been circulating, the answer may already have been hinted at in a previous season. In Virgin River season 2, the episode “Can’t Let Go” is where Mike, an LAPD officer and military friend of Jack, is introduced for the first time. Jack reveals to Mike that Charmaine is pregnant, and his reaction is quite telling. This could hint at Mike being the true father of Charmaine’s twins among the existing Virgin River cast.

Mike’s Reaction To Charmaine’s Pregnancy Was Too Big To Be Nothing

At first, Mike is surprised when Jack says that the Charmaine Virgin River character is pregnant. He immediately raises his eyebrows and lifts his arms in shock. He then makes a little nervous laugh before saying, “I didn’t know you were still seeing her.” During this line, he almost appears sad. The reaction is so big and unexpected that it feels like a noteworthy moment.

While this theory may initially seem like grasping at straws, Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays Mel in Virgin River, did reveal (via Glamour) that the birth father of the Charmaine Virgin River character’s twins is someone who already exists in the Virgin River universe. Given the small number of eligible men in the town and Charmaine’s known timeline, that leaves few options for the true paternity. Since Mike is actively investigating the underground drug ring happening at Emerald Lumber, he is in the Virgin River area quite a bit. He could have easily crossed paths with Charmaine.

Mike’s past with Jack would also explain the sadness expressed when Jack initially reveals the news. After serving in the military together, the two remain close. Mike wouldn’t want to hurt Jack, including infringing on his possible relationship with the Charmaine Virgin River character. He thought the pair was broken up, which is why he questioned them still being together. Now that the truth of the twin’s paternity has been revealed, it’s clear Charmaine initially lied to try and win Jack back from Mel. And since Jack lives in Virgin River, he also would have been a more secure father than Mike, who lives in Los Angeles. With Todd now out of the picture, Virgin River season 5 will surely address who Charmaine’s twins’ birth father is.

What’s Been Revealed About Virgin River Season 5?

The clock is ticking when it comes to revealing who the father is in the Charmaine Virgin River pregnancy arc. Virgin River season 5 has an obligation to answer all of these questions. As previously mentioned, while there’s no concrete release date yet for Virgin River season 5, Netflix has promised that the series will land on the streaming service sometime in the summer of 2023. The principal cast of Virgin River characters from season 4 will be returning, such as Mel, Jack, Doc, Charmaine, etc.

That being said, the newest character, Melissa Montgomery (Barbara Pollard), will be playing a bigger role in the upcoming season in terms of causing some trouble for Jack. New showrunner Patrick Sean Smith has reported that there will be no time jump between Netflix’s Virgin River seasons 4 and 5, meaning the Charmaine pregnancy arc will pick up right where it left off. That’s all the information there is now regarding Netflix’s Virgin River season 5, which will hopefully address Charmaine’s baby’s parentage right out of the gate.
