😅 Virgin River‘s Lauren Hammersley Jokes About Charmaine’s Future:

“Can You Just Drown Her?”

Virgin River star Lauren Hammersley, best known for playing the endlessly complicated and often controversial Charmaine Roberts, recently made fans laugh — and gasp — with a sharp-tongued joke about her character’s fate during a candid interview:

“At this point, can you just drown her already?” she laughed.

While said in jest, the comment has sparked both fan laughter and speculation about what Season 7 and beyond might hold for one of the show’s most talked-about characters.

🎭 Charmaine: Queen of Chaos

Charmaine has been a Virgin River lightning rod from day one — first as Jack’s ex, then as the mother of his (possibly not his?) twins, and always as a source of drama in the otherwise peaceful town. From jealousy to heartbreak to manipulations (and back again), she’s earned her “soap villain lite” status.

“I don’t hate Charmaine,” Hammersley clarified in the same interview.
“She’s just… a lot. And that’s fun to play.”

🤐 Season 7 Secrets?

While Lauren Hammersley didn’t give away any specific spoilers, she did hint that Charmaine’s arc in Season 7 is far from over — and may even redeem her in the eyes of viewers who’ve long rooted against her.

“I think people forget how hurt she’s been. Her reactions are messy, but they come from somewhere real.”

Still, when asked what she’d write for Charmaine’s ending, Hammersley deadpanned:

“Maybe she floats away into the river. Peacefully. With a mimosa.”

🍼 Baby Bombshell Revisited?

Fans still want clarity on the paternity of Charmaine’s twins, which was shockingly thrown into question in Season 4 and never fully resolved.

Hammersley teased that “the truth will come out,” but also warned:

“Even when you think you’ve got answers — this show loves a twist.”

🧠 The Actress Behind the Character

Offscreen, Hammersley is a total contrast to Charmaine: quick-witted, self-aware, and adored by the Virgin River cast.

She says she loves the fan reactions, even when they’re brutal:

“People message me like, ‘I can’t stand you!’ and I’m like, ‘Thanks — that means I’m doing my job.’”

💬 Fan Reactions

Social media lit up after her comment went viral:

• “Lauren is a legend. Charmaine is chaotic evil and I love her.”

• “OK but if they actually drowned her, I’d be shocked… and maybe a little satisfied?”

• “Can we give her one non-toxic season, please?”

💬 Final Thought:

Lauren Hammersley might joke about Charmaine “floating away,” but one thing’s clear:
Virgin River wouldn’t be half as spicy without her.

Love her or loathe her, Charmaine is here to stir the pot — one dramatic sigh at a time.
