Virgin River Season 5 Part 1 ended with a big reveal about Mel’s father. While talking to her sister, Joey, on the phone, she told Mel that she saw a stash of love letters between their mother and a mysterious guy from Virgin River who could be her biological dad. So, who could it be? If this fan theory has anything to go by, it looks like the viewers already know him.
Lauren Hammersley, who plays Charmaine, shared the trailer for the series’ upcoming Holiday episodes on Instagram, revealing what might happen next. The preview features how the people of Virgin River celebrate the Christmas season while Mel breaks major news to Jack and Preacher.
“We did it,” she says. “We found my father.” As expected, many have cast their theories on who could be Mel’s father, with some saying he’s probably already close to her.
Who could be Mel’s father in Virgin River Season 5 Christmas episodes?
Though there are different theories about who Mel’s father could be, many believe it’s her former boss, Vernon “Doc” Mullins. Sure, this is quite surprising, but it cannot be denied that some pieces of evidence could prove the claim.
In the previous season, Denny came out as Doc’s long-lost grandson. Doc used to date a woman named Rose Miller in college and got her pregnant. However, the woman never told Doc about it, thinking about his medical school and not wanting to get in his way.
It’s also good to note that Doc and his wife, Hope, started a chaotic relationship after she learned that her husband cheated on her. That said, fans believe the result of that infidelity is Mel. However, fans are advised to take this assumption with a grain of salt as nothing is confirmed yet.
Who’s the father of Mel’s baby in Virgin River Season 5?
Talking about fathers, it looks like there’s an issue about biological dads in Virgin River. After Charmaine lied about the read dad of her twins, claiming it was Jack, it was later revealed to be Calvin.
That said, fans were also left confused as to who the father of Mel’s baby is, especially after she decided to get inseminated by her late husband, Mark’s embryo. But she also recently slept with Jack at the time, leading to more confusion.
So, who got her pregnant? The fourth season finale confirmed Jack is the father of Mel’s baby, and they will have a little girl. He has also proposed to Mel, so fans can expect a wedding will soon happen between the two.
Virgin River Season 5 Christmas episodes will be released on November 30 on Netflix. As this will make another big revelation about Mel’s life, expect it to end with several cliffhangers as the streamer already confirmed the coming of Virgin River Season 6.
