It is day one of season seven of Virgin River,” he said in a video posted on Instagram, adding that he was “really excited” for the new season, which he hopes will be the “best yet”.

But the quiet town isn’t as peaceful as she first thought, with drug kingpins, murders and kidnappings all common occurrences.
One of the central storylines is the romance between Mel and local bar owner Jack, who tied the knot in season six.
