As Virgin River prepares for its seventh season, fans are speculating whether Charmaine Roberts’ time in the small town is finally coming to an end. Lauren Hammersley,

who has portrayed the character since Season 1, recently made a bold comment that has fueled rumors about Charmaine’s potential departure.

Since the show’s debut, Charmaine has been at the center of numerous dramatic twists—from her unrequited love for Jack to her shocking deception about her pregnancy.

Her actions have consistently stirred up trouble, making her one of the series’ most polarizing figures. However, with many of her storylines seemingly resolved by the end of Season 6, fans are left wondering: What’s next for Charmaine?

Hammersley recently made headlines when she jokingly—or perhaps seriously—suggested, “Could you please drown her?” While the remark was likely made in jest, it has sparked further speculation that the actress may be ready to move on from the role. If even Hammersley believes Charmaine’s character has run its course, could Season 7 be the end of the road for her?

There are several directions the writers could take Charmaine’s story. One possibility is that she finally gets a fresh start, leaving Virgin River to escape her past mistakes and build a new life elsewhere. A more dramatic approach could see her facing unexpected consequences, leading to a shocking and emotional exit. Whether it’s a quiet farewell or a jaw-dropping send-off, it’s clear that her presence in the series is at a crossroads.

With Virgin River continuing to evolve, longtime characters will inevitably come and go. But if Hammersley’s recent comments are any indication, Charmaine’s days in the picturesque town may be numbered. Will Season 7 mark her final chapter, or does she still have more drama left to stir up?
