Virgin River Season 3

[InTheCludgie]

Confirmed for 9th July! Anyone else a fan?

[Veuvelily]

I’ve just watched all 3 series and I’m not sure why because it annoyed me so much!
So many annoying mean characters, or just so dramatic
I liked the Mel and Jack romance, but it’s just so predictable, putting all these stupid obstacles in there way
And Charmaine… what a bitch, no redeeming qualities, even though she’s being controlled. Ridiculous storyline- and still no bump

[GiantToadstool]

I was really unimptessed with lack of answers and loose ends.

[Yutes]

I feel they had to tweak some story lines for COVID etc. I thought Doc was going to drop a different bombshell at the end of season 2.
I bawled my eyes out at Lily.
I find Mel a bit fake. But I still watch it. It’s escapist tv!

[Smokeymirror]

I just watched it. I think I’m on my own with Hope, I know she is meant to be creaky but endearing but I just find her irritating and was glad to see the back of her. Prefer Muriel, Yes to Lilly looking like Caitlyn Jenner. Can’t work out if I fancy Jack or not. Poor Charmaine has been treated like shit. Mel is so bland I find it quite hard to care about her. Love the doc. The small town cozy vibe is lovely, the whole show is so easy to follow which is exactly what I want lol.

I've just finished series 3.Im so over Jack and Mel. I loved the sexual tension in the first 2 series but this one I just got bored with the relationship dramas. Brady is my new crush I just love him. I agree Mike is dodgy. I felt on the whole there were far fewer twists and turns and it was a lot more predictable. Still enjoyable though and look forward to the next series although perhaps they should wrap it up after series 4.

I think 4 is last

I watched the 1st 3 episodes of season 3 the other day.

The whole charmaine story is bonkers. No bump finds and engaged to some chap all while dealing with a seemingly not easy pregnancy

As much as she's annoying I miss Hope
Lizzy is still really annoying especially her eyebrows although I am starting to like her. But I'm starting to like her drippy bf less

Jack definitely needs a jet wash

@bigbaggyeyes

In no situation at all, would anyone in Mel's situation say

Spoiler alert just in case ....

'I don't know if you're the father' why, just why! Wouldn't you explain about the IVF. I know it's a cliff hanger but I ended up tutting and turning the telly off. Nearly as bad as Charmaine and her 'twins' which don't seem to be growing at all

I know, it is just so ridiculous....

SPOILER ALERT

I don't know which annoyed me the most:

The non bump
The fact that Charmaine was so ill she couldn't even get up, to weeks later having met someone, and low and behold even married.
Jack needing some shampoo
Lizzy's eyebrows
Mel and her 'no-one else can go through anything that I haven't already'
Going for IVF treatment in a weekend, and then getting a positive pregnancy message a few days later without even having a pregnancy test
The fact that Brie was 6 months pregnant by her abuser but didn't know she was pregnant, and another non bump
I could go on. But I won't.
Its been quite therapeutic though. I cannot believe I was waiting for his season to come out, and this is what we got!

[isthismylifenow]

I binged all 10 episodes yesterday.

Bleak.

At the end I just did a sigh and an eye roll.

I feel like they just chucked in any old storyline ( which there wasn't much of) to get the season over with. It's just the same repeating story since season 1 with a few other bits added in.

I won't bother with season 4.

[SandysMam]

I am watching now, the Charmaine having no bump story is an absolute clanger! I don’t understand how they can have thought this was ok?? She would be at least 20 weeks by now at the very very minimum, and 20 weeks with twins is big bump territory!!

[ChloeAndRadcliffe]

I never thought he was really good enough for Mel, and I don't think they're a very convincing couple. They remind me of Lorelei and Luke from Gilmore Girls, craggy, scruffy-looking man with terrible dress sense and many arseholish traits paired with a much more attractive and intelligent woman who somehow manages to overlook his arseholishness even when there are other options around.

[KatherineJaneway]

I forgot he used to play Nathan Riggs in Grey's Anatomy

[bonfireheart]

Everytime I see Jack I think how no way would a female actor be a main love interest if she looked like that- he needs a haircut and a jetwash.

[EasterIssland]

@bonfireheart

Jack looks a mess and honestly I feel a bit bleurgh every time I see him since I saw pics of him online with his v v young girlfriend.

they're not together anymore @bonfireheart!
but Martin doesn't look as hot as he used to few months ago for me... he needs a damm haircut irl! :D

[youngestisapsycho]

Jack just looked dirty all the time!

[harknesswitch]

I've just finished watching it.

Charmaine's bump, or lack of, with twins is ridiculous, is she having a gestation period of an elephant.

Mel having an embro implanted and then a positive pregnancy result, the gestation period of a hamster.

Hope's accident and obvious excuse to not come back to the series.

I also thought Mel was pregnant at the start of the season, more so than Charmaine

But for easy, mind numbing series with lovely views and Jack's occasional shirt off moments it was good and I enjoyed it.

[KatherineJaneway]

I found the writing all over the place this season. Jack had tears in his eyes so often I wondered if he had shares in Kleenex.

Chairmane's lack of bump was really noticeable.

Agree with pp that Mike is framing Brady and he is the one who shot Jack and is an inside man for Calvin.

I'll watch the next series buy hope the writing improves.

[Ineedaduvetday]

I find Jacks craggy looks combined with his waxed chest rather incongruous.

His chest is one of the reasons I watch it

[ChloeAndRadcliffe]

Yes! I'm sure marines must have to be able to lift/press a certain weight - I had to do that just to join the police. That guy looks like he has even less upper body strength than I do.

[Bluntness100]

To be fair I enjoyed it, I did think they’d messed the timings up though, jacks recovery from a gun shot v charmaine hardly showing, and Mels egg implant thing. It was also clear hope wasn’t going to be coming back to the series, and charmaines marriage, although very quick should also add to the timeline and her bump.

I think thr preacher Paige story line is becoming a bit far fetched too.

And that guy joining the marines, he seems the least likely marine ever 😂

[Pl242]

I’ve just binge watched the season. I still enjoy it for the escapism, beautiful scenery and I like the small town/older character stuff.

But the pacing just seems really off. It starts only a few weeks after the shooting, but Jack is then fine and hope already gone. Bree suddenly there but not really introduced.

Some storylines were really pedestrian and slow yet there were all these fast paced things which jarred. Charmaine marrying someone in 3 seconds, Mel uncharacteristically deciding to get an embryo implanted on impulse in a day, Bree falling for Brady out if nowhere and inconsistently re what else she’s been going through. Preacher not letting the kid go to a sleepover yet blithely following a woman into the woods.

It’s all a bit jarring. Even for a melodrama. Though I’ll probably watch the next season anyway.

[GetTaeFuck]

It feels like we are no further on story wise than we were at the end of S1!

As for Brady - fuck him. Women aren’t rehab centres for men. Brie should drop him like a hot rock, regardless of if he shot Jack or not.

Charmaine is doing with Todd what she wanted from Jack. Which is why she’s ignoring all the red flags.

@Elune

The actress that plays Lily reminds me of Caitlyn Jenner.

Series 3 was really weird, I don't know what to make of it.

This!! Image of Caitlyn Jenner.

Didn't enjoy this season at all. Charmaine with no bump was just ridiculous. I thought Mel was pregnant in real life also. As the season went on it became very predictable.

Mike is obviously the one who shot Jack and is framing Brady. He is the reason the drug dealer guy had the charges dropped - he could get to Spencer too. I also don't like Brady though. Just one of those people who is constantly landing themselves in trouble. No common sense.

How did Mel end up getting a text saying she was pregnant? I'm not sure how embryo transfer works but wouldn't she need to either go to the clinic to be tested or else do a normal home pregnancy test?

It was also predictable that Sally was not to be trusted I thought. Wasn't surprised she drugged Preacher.

Just found it all a bit predictable really. Its a pity as I really enjoyed the first 2 seasons.
