As a long-time fan of the heartwarming drama “Virgin River”, I must say that the upcoming season 6 has me absolutely thrilled! The reveal of Mel’s birth father last season was a game-changer, and now learning about her mother’s past in season 6 sounds like an even more intriguing tale.
In the final episode of season 5 for “Virgin River,” we discovered how Mel came across her biological father. As for season 6, it appears we’ll be uncovering how Mel’s mother crossed paths with her father in the world of “Virgin River.
Building on the significant revelation about Mel’s paternity from the previous season, the forthcoming episodes will delve into the bride-to-be exploring her biological father, Everett (played by John Allen Nelson). A key aspect of this will involve uncovering his past.
This year, it was revealed by Netflix that they are developing a spin-off series for “Virgin River,” with the story focusing on Mel’s mom, Sarah, and Everett.
On September 23rd, it was officially revealed who would play Sarah and Everett’s predecessors in the prequel for “Virgin River”. Actress Jessica Rothe and actor Callum Kerr will step into these roles for the first time, portraying Mel’s parents during a flashback scene set in the 1970s when “Virgin River” enters its sixth season.
As a gaming enthusiast, I recently got wind that Deadline unveiled the initial snaps of Rothe and Kerr slipping into their recurring roles within the Virgin River universe on our favorite streaming platform. Guess we’ll have to wait and see if they decide to broaden this captivating world even further!
In the upcoming season, you’ll see this duo featured in sequences set during the early ’70s – a nostalgic leap back in time that marks the first flashback for the popular Netflix romance series. This intriguing change is bound to excite viewers!
Meet Mel’s parents in the ’70s in Virgin River season 6
In the series, as reported by Deadline, Rothe portrays Sarah, Mel’s mother for the first time. Sarah is depicted as a free-spirited activist in the ’70s, striving to break away from the conventional path for young women at that time. Interestingly, we know that Sarah eventually gave birth to both Mel and her sister. In those days, Sarah developed feelings for a charming musician who could potentially be her destined soulmate.
The dashing musician you see? He’s Mel’s biological father, Everett. Although we didn’t delve too deeply into his past in season 5, it might surprise you to know that he was an aspiring musician, dreaming of success in the music industry. In the ’70s, he traveled in a VW van and picked up a stunning hitchhiker. I bet you can make one educated guess… Yep, it’s Sarah!
Although Netflix hasn’t specified a release date for Season 6 following the announcements of Rothe and Kerr joining the cast, they have given us a hint about the content of the upcoming episodes.
In addition to delving into Mel’s background, the upcoming season will also provide fans with long-awaited events: the wedding of Mel and Jack! As her wedding approaches, it’s evident that Mel is reflecting on her past in search of guidance for her role as a wife and potential mother.
