“#’Virgin River’ Boss on Mel & Jack’s Future, the Shooter’s Identity and Season 4 Plans<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Virgin River<\/em> Season 3.]<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was another season of ups and downs for fan-favorite couple Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) in the small town of Virgin River.<\/p>\n

The good news<\/a>: By the end of it, Jack was ready to propose. The possibly not-so-good news: Mel\u2019s pregnant, but she doesn\u2019t know if it\u2019s Jack\u2019s baby. (She and her late husband, Mark, had two embryos left, and she decided to use them after finding out she and Jack weren\u2019t on the same page about having kids together.)<\/p>\n

Also this season, Hope (Annette O\u2019Toole) was returning to Virgin River for her friend\u2019s funeral only to get into a car accident; Doc (Tim Matheson) could only wait at the hospital for hopefully good news. Plus, Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) was arrested for shooting Jack in the Season 2 finale \u2014 the gun was found in his car \u2014 but he insisted he didn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n

TV Insider turned to executive producer Sue Tenney in hopes of finding out what could be next in those stories and more if Virgin River<\/em> is renewed.<\/p>\n

I know you can\u2019t say whose baby it is, but what can you share about any discussions about the father?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sue Tenney: <\/strong>If we have a Season 4, it will be revealed at the end of [it] and it\u2019s a driving storyline in [it].<\/p>\n

Even if the baby is Jack\u2019s, he and Mel do have to have a conversation about the embryos. What can you say about how that conversation might go compared to past conversations and fights they\u2019ve had? <\/strong><\/p>\n

That really gets into Season 4 stuff. \u2026 For Jack and Mel, their love is unquestionable. They both carry baggage from the past. This is not necessarily baggage, but their past is always causing complications in their present. We all believe in Jack and Mel\u2019s love for each other, but we also know that this was a big complication.<\/p>\n

Jack was ready to propose, but are they ready to get married? <\/strong>This isn\u2019t exactly the best timing for them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, it\u2019s not. He broke up with her because he didn\u2019t want to stop her from being able to have the life that she wanted, which is that she wants to be a mother. Jack realized in the next episode, he\u2019s making assumptions. In the series<\/a>, eventually, they are going to get married. I can say that.<\/p>\n

Obviously, Jack was never going to die, but did you consider a coma or showing more of his physical recovery? Or were you most interested in exploring the psychological side and his memory problems? <\/strong><\/p>\n

For us as writers, it\u2019s the psychological component that we found was interesting. That\u2019s why we didn\u2019t see the surgery and all of that kind of stuff. That\u2019s really what our viewers are interested in, what we\u2019re most interested in storytelling-wise. It does play a role. It\u2019s not like it\u2019s a forgotten thing. It has a psychological impact and it\u2019s going to \u2014 as you saw through the season \u2014 take its toll on him.<\/p>\n

Brady insists he didn\u2019t shoot Jack and he\u2019s being framed. How much should we be focusing on who would want to shoot Jack and how much should it maybe be about who would want Brady to go down for murder or attempted murder?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will say if we get to go into a Season 4 that the audience will be genuinely surprised at who\u2019s behind all of it.<\/p>\n

Did you always know it would take multiple seasons to reveal exactly what happ<\/a>ened to Jack that night?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If given a Season 4 \u2014 knock wood \u2014 we wrap up actually what started as them being kidnapped, the introduction of Calvin [David Cubitt] and Jimmy [Ian Tracey], so we bring it all home and then we open up a new avenue of \u201cOh my God\u201d at the end of Season 4. [Laughs<\/em>] So the story is not over but it continues. We\u2019ll find that even if you believe someone\u2019s innocent, proving that they\u2019re innocent is much more difficult.<\/p>\n

Are the person who pulled the trigger and the person who wanted Jack dead the same person?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The person who pulled the trigger and wanted him dead are the same person, but Calvin and Jimmy and the failed raid in Season 2 and him getting shot all intersect with all the rest of it. You\u2019re asking all the best questions, which is great.<\/p>\n

Last we see Preacher [Colin Lawrence], Sally has left him in the woods. It looks like she just drugged him to get him out of the way so Vince [Steve Bacic] can go after Christopher, right? We shouldn\u2019t expect to next see him tied up and being held somewhere? <\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a surprise for Preacher, so it should be a surprise for the audience. Who she\u2019s working for would be revealed in the next season.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Vince, who\u2019s creepily sitting in the dark, like any good villain does. <\/strong>What\u2019s he up to? Who is he the most danger to? <\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s a big reveal when we open Season 4 that puts certain people in jeopardy. Finding Vince becomes paramount.<\/p>\n

What can you say about where Paige [Lexa Doig] might be?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paige is on the run, but we revisit Paige in Season 4.<\/p>\n

Hope\u2019s storyline was due to Annette O\u2019Toole\u2019s availability, right?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, the pandemic, but we wanted to keep the character alive and forefront, so that\u2019s where we came up with her storyline. We had a different storyline and then we pivoted. \u2026 We\u2019ll get back to pieces of it as we go forward. Because if we have a Season 4, Annette is very excited to rejoin the Virgin River<\/em> troop.<\/p>\n

Did any of that planned storyline involve Doc\u2019s health? Or did that mostly play out the way that you wanted it to in season three?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Doc\u2019s health played out, except that because she was away, that emotional part of that story didn\u2019t play out. There\u2019s a different emotional story that will play out in Season 4 between the two characters. His medical problems will continue into another season.<\/p>\n

Doc put the search for his replacement on hold. How much is that about him not wanting to accept his future when it comes to his health and how much is it just him not being ready to stop working?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little of both and what happened at the end with Hope is going to laser focus on what\u2019s important to him, and that would be Hope. There\u2019ll be a surprise at the beginning of Season 4 that will address the question that you\u2019re asking.<\/p>\n

Brie\u2019s [Zibby Allen] thinking of leaving Virgin River by the end of the season. How much did she need the time there at least so far, much like Mel did when she first came to the town?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brie\u2019s arc was a slow burn. We had a great organic way to bring her to Virgin River, which was her brother was shot. Then she ended up staying and that also was organic because she had left her job. Also, we have the brother-sister relationship, which we find very exciting and interesting. Just like [with] Jack\u2019s trauma and his PTSD, her trauma is not something that\u2019s going to go away in a season. It\u2019s not like she\u2019s spoken it out loud, told Mel, and all of a sudden everything\u2019s great. A lot of our characters, in a great way, carry baggage like we all do. We like to see them struggle and strive and make great personal inroads because I think that\u2019s really what people come back to see again and again.<\/p>\n

\"Virgin<\/p>\n

What did you want to do with Brady and Brie\u2019s relationship? Did it start partly as something she could control after what happened to her?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a question that will be answered in the first couple of episodes of season four, given a Season 4. In the books, Brie and Mike [Marco Grazzini] end up together, and as I\u2019ve always said, if it\u2019s in the books, eventually I want to get our characters back to where they were in the books. So I think that we\u2019re possibly setting up a bit of a love triangle there. But it centers more on her attraction to Brady and then Brady\u2019s bad boy status and how that kind of plays itself out in the season. Going forward, Brie will have a choice to make.<\/p>\n

Speaking of Mike, I have to say I\u2019m wondering how much to trust him, because there was a very interesting conversation between Brady and Mike, and then he does seem very eager to point the finger at Brady. <\/strong><\/p>\n

They all come back with scars and skeletons from their time in war. The thing that Brady touched on in Season 3 that you\u2019re talking about it is something that we\u2019ll explore in coming seasons. Mike was OK with Brady and then it seemed very clear that he was involved with the shooting. I think that Mike really believes in his heart that Brady shot Jack. You see that in Season 3 when he\u2019s talking to him in the interrogation room and how he kind of lays out why he thinks that that is. Once Mike starts to stop trusting him, it\u2019s more about that. Mike, we delve into a little bit more in Season 3, Season 4. He\u2019s not Brady, as far as the trusting part at all. Mike is a really positive and great character, but there\u2019s definitely some stuff that will come up and need to be dealt with.<\/p>\n

Jack and Charmaine [Lauren Hammersley] were never going to work out because she\u2019s not Mel. But they haven\u2019t been able to make it work just when it comes to discussing co-parenting. Can they find common ground? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Eventually, yes. The reason that I found it so interesting of a story is because you can break up with people, you can get divorced from people, but children are forever. That puts them on a trajectory of having to have to deal with one another. There will be ebbs and flows to their relationship in the coming seasons. Jack is very committed to being a good father, being present for those children, and that\u2019s never going to change. So he will fight for his right to be involved as much as humanly possible, and she will fight to serve her own priorities.<\/p>\n

With Ricky [Grayson Maxwell Gurnsey] enlisting and Lizzie\u2019s [Sarah Dugdale] ex trying to lure her away, what does their future look like?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Like everyone on our show, it\u2019s a little bumpy, but eventually, we hope that they find [their way] to each other. They have a fantastic arc in the book. They\u2019re both going to grow up, [like] what happens in the book. Sometimes you grow up at different rates. What you\u2019re hoping for is that they\u2019re going to come together and be ready at that time and find themselves back together again, but that\u2019s not going to happen necessarily in the coming season.<\/p>\n

Doc\u2019s grandson has come to town. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, that was a fun one, and it\u2019s going to be a very fun Season 4, if we have a Season 4. That\u2019s peeling back another layer of the onion of his character. And all the questions that you\u2019re going to ask me, I can\u2019t answer. [Laughs<\/em>] Where did he come from? Who is he?<\/p>\n
