Bahahaha. I'm an L and D nurse and was coming on here to complain about this same nonsensical quote!


And then the ridiculousness of the plot line of the handsome doc basically falling in love with her after their first meeting, and then the odd rivalry between he and Jack. Just silly.

The worst show ever. Slower than slow.

It's filmed in different areas around Vancouver, B.C. Canada. Jack's bar is an actual place called the Watershed Grill in Squamish on the way to Whistler. Doc's clinic is a heritage house, Mel's cabin is actually a caretaker's cabin on a lake. Hope's house is near where my dh works.


Awesome, thanks for sharing! Jealous!


Are there pot farms around there, too? That's definitely a thing in northern CA.


Haha, yes, many pot farms and stores. Here's a detailed article about so many of the locations: https://www.atlasofwonders.com/2019/12/virgin-river-california-town-filming-locations.html I haven't watched season 4 yet, but just read that VanDusen Gardens is at the beginning of episode 1, my son got married there. This really isn't my typical kind of show, but I have to keep watching for the scenery!

I think Charmaine's been pregnant for a couple years!

Silly, silly show. I watch it for the scenery.


I haven’t made it past episode 1 for the latest season yet. How can Charmaine still be pregnant?! I feel this is the 3rd season of her being pregnant!

The timelines make no sense.

Mel is 8 weeks pregnant, and Charmaine is 5 months pregnant? So, in 3 months, Jack got Charmaine pregnant, broke up with her, fell in love with Mel, broke up with her, and then was broken up long enough for Mel to make a life altering decision and do a round of IVF? And yet Charmaine and Joey are judged for rushing to marriage too fast?

I'm also kind of stuck on the idea that it's such a small isolated town that everyone knows everyone, and yet also a big enough community to have like 30 people out paddle boating on a regular weekday. The DMV has millions of people, and yet I bet we still only support like 40 paddle boats.


This is part of what makes the show so entertaining.

I just can’t stop laughing about how frequently jack and mel talk about their feelings. I think at the beginning of almost every scene mel asks jack “are you okay?” Or “what’s wrong?” Same for preacher and jack except preacher always offers to cover jack’s shift or finish up for him because jack is such a sad sack.
