The trailer for Virgin River's seventh season, set to premiere on Netflix on 12th March, has sparked fan theories about the adoption storyline involving Mel and Jack. In the preview, expectant mother Marley tells Mel she needs "more time", leading Jack to question the wait. Mel responds, "What else can we do? It's not our baby. Not yet."
Fans on Reddit speculate that Marley may back out of the adoption, with one predicting Mel will discover she is pregnant instead. Another viewer suggested that Lizzie, a young mother struggling with postnatal depression, might give up her baby for Mel and Jack to adopt.
The new season continues from Charmaine's mysterious disappearance and Marley's shocking disclosure that her baby's adoptive parents have withdrawn, offering Mel the chance to adopt. The 10 episodes will explore whether Mel and Jack become parents.
Viewers are divided, with some hoping for a happy resolution and others bracing for more drama. The show's sixth season ended with Mel and Jack's wedding, and the trailer hints at emotional twists ahead.
