Fans speculate pregnancy, adoption — or both — as Virgin River heads to Mexico for the first time
Virgin River fans, brace yourselves — it looks like Mel Monroe might be headed for one of her biggest storylines yet. A newly leaked set photo from Season 7, combined with a major production shift, has ignited a firestorm of speculation online — and it all points to a potential bombshell twist for the Netflix favorite.
🌴 A First for Virgin River: Production Moves South
With filming now wrapped in Vancouver, Virgin River has officially moved production to Mexico — marking the first time the series has ever filmed outside Canada. According to What’s On Netflix, this location change isn’t just a creative decision; it may be tied directly to Mel and Jack’s long-awaited honeymoon.
That theory gained traction when actress Alexandra Breckenridge was spotted on location, dressed in a red top and a floral wrap skirt. The seemingly innocent outfit has since become a hot topic in fan circles — with many claiming it could be hiding a baby bump.
📸 The Photo That Broke the Internet (Well, Almost)
The viral image in question shows Breckenridge in a breezy beach-ready look, standing in what appears to be a tropical location. While Netflix has yet to confirm the scene’s context, fans didn’t waste a second jumping to conclusions.
“She’s definitely pregnant!” one user exclaimed.
“So she’s going to have the adoption baby, Charmaine’s twins, and her own (maybe) all at once?” another speculated.
🍼 Triple the Baby Drama?
If these fan theories hold true, Mel and Jack could be facing more than just post-wedding bliss. Here’s what could be on the parenting horizon:
-
Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) has disappeared after finally giving birth to her twins — and Mel might end up caring for them.
-
Mel received a surprise offer from patient Marley (Rachel Drance) to adopt her baby after the original adoptive parents backed out.
-
And now, fans believe Mel may be pregnant herself, possibly revealing a long-awaited miracle baby.
If so, Mel and Jack could be welcoming three babies into their lives before Season 7 wraps — an emotional rollercoaster even by Virgin River standards.
🧳 Instagram Clues Add Fuel to the Fire
On June 30, Breckenridge posted a selfie to her Instagram story, featuring palm trees swaying in the background. She coyly asked her followers, “What did you do with YOUR weekend?” The playful post only deepened the mystery, reinforcing theories that filming — and Mel’s storyline — had moved somewhere sunny and significant.
🤐 No Word Yet from Netflix
Netflix has yet to officially comment on the leaked photo or the rumors surrounding Mel’s storyline. The platform is known for keeping Virgin River plotlines tightly under wraps until premiere time — but that hasn’t stopped fans from combing social media and production updates for clues.
📆 When Can We Watch?
Virgin River Season 7 has wrapped filming and is expected to premiere sometime in 2025, though an exact date hasn’t been announced. With so many dangling threads — from Charmaine’s fate to Mel and Jack’s potential new family — fans are eager for answers.
And with whispers about Season 8 already in circulation, it’s safe to say Virgin River’s story is far from over.
Mel Monroe may be headed for motherhood times three — or something even more unexpected. Whatever unfolds, one thing is certain: Virgin River fans are in for one wild ride when Season 7 finally arrives.
