Mel's conundrum stems from the fact that she is pregnant, but is unsure if her baby is Jack's. The previous seasons dealt with her tragic backstory where she was grappling with Mark's (Daniel Gillies) death and her budding relationship with Jack.
To provide a quick recap, Mark died in a road accident while having an argument with Mel about her fertility treatments. After his untimely death, she moved to Virgin River to start life afresh. The relationship she struck with Jack was always complicated as the latter was still involved with his now ex-girlfriend, Charmaine. To add to the drama, he already had twins with her.
The speculation now is if Mel had another affair when she was away from Virgin River for a brief bit. If so, is there an entirely new character the show might introduce in Season 4. Or is this indeed Jack's baby?
Ahead of Season 3's release, Breckenridge teased the storyline in an interview with Us Weekly: "Mel still really wants to have a baby, even though she doesn’t know if she can. Jack is having twins with another woman, so it’s very complicated. We’re just gonna have to ride that journey and see if their love prevails and whether Jack is down for having another child. [Three children] sounds like a lot!”

'Virgin River' Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.
