But exactly who is the baby daddy?
Netflix
Is he a familiar face in Virgin River?
“In season 5, it’s such a great mystery,” he teases.
“And I was like, ‘Well, what do I do with that?
What’s the best way to use that big twist?'”
But it’s definitely something that I would rather hold off on and not waste.
Because it’s that good."
Can you walk me through those choices and how you arrived at that final decision?
PATRICK SEAN SMITH:That predates me.
I didn’t want to feel like I was starting fresh.
There were so many cliffhangers at the end of season 4, that we pick up all of them.
It was more how I wanted to pick it up.
What about Dr. Cameron (Mark Ghanime)?
He’s said he’s leaving Virgin River, but is that decision final?
But as far as where that goes, you’ll have to check out season 5.
You introduced Denny (Kai Bradbury) this season.
He seemed very suspicious at first, but thenwe got explanations for all his behavior.
Should we fully trust him at this point?
There was a lot of suspicion on Denny.
He does have Huntington’s disease.
That’s not how I want to see it.
I don’t know what the original intent was.
And from that experience, I really embraced the responsibility of portraying something in a fair and positive way.
Hope is on the mend.
So, we’ve felt a bit of a loss of Hope.
She still is on the road to recovery.
Was Preacher’s (Colin Lawrence) blow to Vince (Steve Bacic) fatal?
I can’t tell you that.
I would say that will definitely have to be something you’ll have to watch for in season 5.
But it’s it is something that we pick up immediately.
We pick up right after that incident in season 5.
What lies ahead for Christopher (Chase Petriw), Paige (Lexa Doig), and Preacher?
Might they finally get to catch their breath together?
They can go to a spa.
No, I can’t say anything about that.
Jack is now unwittingly in business with the same criminal organization as Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth).
Is he going to start to cotton onto that, or how will Melissa complicate things in season 5?
She was introduced as a new big bad for this season.
And it’s been fun to dig in to it.
We got so little of her character when she was introduced.
I’ve learned more about fentanyl than I ever thought I would in my life.
Even how to spell it, which autocorrect helped me out with a lot in the beginning.
Might that bring him and Brady closer together finally being on the same side again?
I mean, wouldn’t that be swell to see?
That is still a part of season 5 that we’re carrying on with from season 4.
Is their relationship one with an expiration date?
I mean, I love love triangles.
But I would say as far as the specifics, you’ll have to check out season 5.
You introduced Hannah this season, Virgin River’s first openly queer character.
Will we get to see more of her in season 5?
Maybe see get her own romantic interest?
That actress is amazing.
I’m excited to explore that character more.
