Surprise! Just when you thought Charmaine’s pregnancy saga had concluded, Virgin River Season 6 may suggest otherwise. A closer look reveals intriguing clues that could indicate there’s more to her story than previously believed.
Charmaine’s pregnancy has become infamous for being the second-longest in television history—just check actress Lauren Hammersley’s Instagram bio for confirmation. Last season, in Part 2 of Season 5, she finally welcomed her twins.
The plot thickened dramatically with a shocking twist: it is revealed that the twins’ real father is Calvin, who had faked his death. This revelation clears Jack of any responsibility, allowing him the opportunity to move forward and marry Mel.
Yet, is there a possibility of a real-life twist for Hammersley? If you pay close attention to Season 6, you might start to question whether she is expecting again. Warning: spoilers ahead!
Hints of Real-Life Pregnancy for Charmaine
While it’s essential not to jump to conclusions about someone’s personal life, the way Charmaine’s scenes have been shot raises eyebrows. There are visual cues in Season 6’s filming style that might suggest a real-life pregnancy.
Historically, actors who are pregnant often resort to creative techniques to conceal their baby bumps. Notable examples include Julie Bowen on Modern Family and Claire Danes in Homeland. In contrast, some shows, like Desperate Housewives, integrate pregnancy into storylines.
Similar situations can be seen with Charmaine. In Episode 3, she strategically holds court documents in front of her midsection, and throughout her appearances, objects like bags and boxes are placed in the way to obscure any visible signs of pregnancy.
Moreover, Charmaine’s presence in the season is notably minimal. This reduction in her character’s screen time could be indicative of a storyline aiming to phase her out by Season 7.
Following the revelation regarding Calvin, tension escalates as he becomes furious over Charmaine gaining full custody of the twins. He threatens Jack regarding Charmaine’s newfound independence.
Amidst the chaos, Brie and Jack advise Charmaine to seek a restraining order against Calvin. However, just before any actions are taken, a dramatic turn unfolds: Charmaine fails to appear at Mel and Jack’s wedding, despite having committed to doing bridal hair and makeup. When Jack checks on her the following day, he finds her house in disarray.
The scene culminates in a chilling moment when Jack hears a lullaby emanating from the nursery. He enters with a look of horror, but before the viewers can comprehend what has transpired inside, the screen abruptly cuts to black. This dramatic cliffhanger insinuates that Charmaine may have met with a dire fate, adding fuel to the speculation surrounding Hammersley’s character arc.
Whether these theories hold any truth remains to be seen, but they certainly add an ironic layer to what is known as the second-longest pregnancy in television history.
