The latest seasons of Virgin River have ignited some strong fan reactions, with certain viewers even choosing to gloss over moments featuring particular members of the cast. Netflix's hit series Virgin River has recently delved into the much-anticipated wedding saga of Mel Monroe (portrayed by Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson). As Mel starts to form a bond with her biological father, Everett Reid (John Allen Nelson), others in Virgin River are grappling with their own array of issues.
Key among them is Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale), first seen romancing bar worker Ricky (Grayson Gurnsey), who later enlists with the Marines, leaving her to find new love with surprise town newcomer Denny Cutler (Kai Bradbury), the unexpected grandson of Vernon 'Doc' Mullins (Tim Matheson). Lizzie's pregnancy has sparked excitement for her future as a mother, but her union with Denny has been marred by his Huntington's disease diagnosis, a condition that poses a 50 percent risk for their unborn child, reports the Daily Record . While their storyline packs an emotional punch, Lizzie and Denny have proved to be polarising figures among viewers.
One fan confessed their approach to their scenes: "I'm really not into Denny," explaining, "He just doesn't seem well placed at all and has a lack of emotion. Maybe he will grow on me, but idk. "It feels like he was thrown in.
I was never a huge fan of Lizzie but started to like her until the end of S3. Now I just don't care for her. "Denny is my least favorite.
I've been skipping a lot of his scenes and Lizzy's scenes. I'm kinda done with them." Despite still being hooked on Mel and Jack's story, and finding the Brie Sheridan (Zibby Allen) and Dan Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) drama gripping, they feel something "just seems off" about the recent seasons.
The sentiment resonated with others in the comments section, where one person criticised the show's handling of Denny as a character with Huntington's disease. "Agree with Denny," they responded. "Feels like it's wasted potential - he could've been such an interesting character representing something that is pretty severe but real for a fair amount of ppl.
" Sabrina Carpenter fans can stream 'A Nonsense Christmas' with Sky's new £15 TV and Netflix bundle . The Essential TV plan includes more than 100 Sky channels including Sky Atlantic, plus subscriptions to Netflix and Discovery+. Echoing the disappointment, another viewer added: "I agree, Denny's acting makes me cringe and he's barely even showing emotion.
" A different user expressed their lack of enthusiasm: "Same. I'm not even excited for season 7." Yet, Virgin River continues to captivate many viewers who find solace in its escapism, despite some over-the-top plotlines.
"I think this show provides a great escape from my everyday stressors," a fan commented. "I enjoy settling in after a long day and watching - even though unrealistic it has a certain charm to it. Sure some of the characters or plots annoy me yet I am looking forward to season 7.
" Others have also suggested that disgruntled streamers should explore the original novels by Robyn Carr if they're unhappy with the direction of the Netflix adaptation. Virgin River is available to stream on Netflix..
