Lauren Hammersley, who has played Charmaine Roberts since the beginning of Virgin River, has recently fueled speculation about her character’s fate in Season 7.

After years of stirring up drama, heartbreak, and shocking twists, Charmaine remains one of the show’s most polarizing figures. However, Hammersley’s latest remarks hint that

her time in Virgin River may be nearing its conclusion. In a recent exchange with fans, Hammersley jokingly said, “Could you please drown her?”—a comment that seemingly reflects

her own exasperation with Charmaine’s ongoing storyline. While she has fully embraced portraying such a complex character, her words echo the sentiment of many fans who feel that Charmaine’s manipulative tendencies and never-ending drama have worn thin.

Over the past six seasons, Charmaine’s deception about her pregnancy became one of the show’s biggest bombshells. After leading Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) to believe he was the father of her twins, the truth was finally revealed in Season 5—Calvin, not Jack, was their real father. This shocking twist left Charmaine reeling and struggling to pick up the pieces. With Todd abandoning her and motherhood on the horizon, some viewers believe her arc has come full circle, signaling that her time in Virgin River may be coming to an end.

As Virgin River moves forward with Season 7, the lingering question remains: Will Charmaine finally get closure, or will she continue to create chaos in the town? Hammersley’s cryptic remarks suggest she may not be optimistic about her return, but whether Charmaine receives a dramatic farewell or quietly fades away is still unknown.
