Fans of Virgin River are still abuzz with chatter following the shocking finale of season six on , which left many viewers both elated and bemused.
The season finale delivered a hearty dose of romance as Mel Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) finally exchanged vows in an enchanting town-wide celebration.
Nevertheless, their wedded happiness was cut short. Jack’s post-ceremony concern grew when he noticed Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) and also his previous friend-with-benefits, was missing from the revelry.
His concern turned to alarm upon visiting her home, only to find it in disarray.
The episode concludes abruptly as Jack is confronted by something off-screen, holding fans in suspense for season seven’s revelation.

Although the Sheridans’ love story had its fair share of moments, some members of the audience couldn’t help but fixate on Jack’s unresolved issues with his ex-lover.
One Redditor expressed their confusion over Charmaine’s invite: “Why is Charmaine even invited to the wedding?” they started, bewildered at the prospect of the bride willingly inviting her fiance’s recent deceptive ex, who falsely claimed her twins were his, not to mention her hostile demeanour.
One incredulous comment read: “Haha like in what world would a bride invite her fiance’s ex who just recently lied for 9 months about being pregnant with his twins?! Not to mention how nasty she was. Lol only in Virgin River.”
Another fan argued: “Let’s not forget, she asked Charmaine to do everyone’s hair. I guess attending the wedding was her bonus.”

But someone else fumed: “This was the dumbest thing ever! Like why would I want my fiance’s ex girl be in my head doing my hair for my wedding day?
“The same woman that accused me of stealing Jack, the same woman who lied about having my man’s babies! Mel had plenty of money to hire someone for that.”
The situation heated further when a different fan stated: “Charmaine spent every waking moment trying to torment Mel and make Jack feel guilty. Someone thought, ‘Let’s include Char in the wedding!'”
A baffled commenter added to the fray: “Right after she lied to Jack and Mel and used Jack???? Why do they even talk to her?”

Others pointed out that all townsfolk were on the guest list since mayor Hope McCrea (Annette O’Toole) proclaimed the event as the social highlight of the year.
As one observer noted, “I think it’s one of those situations where in small town/rural areas there may be people you don’t like, but you can’t avoid running into them, so you are polite,” and added that “Inviting everyone else and not her would have been rude.”
Fans must brace themselves for another lengthy period of suspense before learning Charmaine’s fate at the commencement of Virgin River season seven.
The burning question remains: Will she and the twins emerge unscathed, or is her tale heading towards a dark end?
