Two children for Mel and Jack in Virgin River?

While Mel was pregnant with Jack, after multiple twists and turns, the writers of Virgin River decided otherwise. Mel actually had a miscarriage during season 5. It was during the California forest fires that Mel discovered she was bleeding and that she had probably lost her baby. She then checked to see if there was a heartbeat using a monitor at the clinic, but unfortunately there was not, confirming her worst fears. Mel and Jack were devastated by this news. Devastated, Mel announced to Jack that she no longer wanted to suffer another loss, and that she no longer wanted to resort to IVF. The end of season 5, however, showed the young woman more peaceful, open to the idea of ​​resorting to adoption. Virgin River fans are curious if Mel will ever have a baby. The Virgin River novels by Robyn Carr, from which the series is adapted, offer hope. Because in the second book, Shelter Mountain, Jack and Mel welcome their first baby, David Sheridan. A daughter, Emma Sheridan, will join their family in volume five titled Second Chance Pass.

The differences between the novels and the Virgin River series

If this news can give some hope to fans who find that the couple has already had to go through a lot, Virgin River differs enormously from the books. So it’s not at all certain that Mel and Jack will be able to have that child they so desperately want on screen. Speaking about the miscarriage with Netflix’s Tudum, actress Alexandra Breckenridge explained: “Obviously it hit Mel a lot harder in some ways than Jack, but I think they’ll get through it together as a couple. It shows how much stronger their bond is through this truly tragic experience.” The continuation of the adventures of Mel and Jack and their friends from Virgin River is expected for the month of November. The engaged couple could move forward with their new project, namely buying Lily’s farm to build their own house. The future of the series is already assured since season 6 of Virgin River has already been ordered by Netflix.While the first part of season 5 of Virgin River has been available on Netflix since the beginning of September, the plot pushes us to question the future of Mel and Jack, and their desire to start a family together.
