Lauren Hammersley has sparked fresh speculation about Charmaine Roberts’ fate following Virgin River’s unsettling season six finale. The actress, who plays Charmaine, shared screenshots on Instagram of a playful text exchange with showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, joking that she might need to start looking for another job. In the message, Hammersley quipped that if Charmaine dies, she hopes it happens “epically.”
Her joke comes after the finale ended on one of the show’s darkest cliffhangers yet. When Charmaine fails to attend Jack and Mel’s wedding, Jack Sheridan goes to check on her. He finds her front door open, signs of a struggle inside the house, and reacts in visible shock to something in the nursery — though viewers never see what it is.
Adding to the mystery, Martin Henderson has admitted he doesn’t know what Jack saw, revealing the moment hadn’t even been fully written when they filmed it. With cast and fans equally in the dark, Charmaine’s fate remains uncertain heading into season seven.
