RECAP: Here is where the characters ended up at the end of season three of Netflix's 'Virgin River'

The fourth season of Virgin River is FINALLY here!

While fans have been eagerly awaiting to see what the new episodes of the Netflix show - based on the best-selling book series by Robyn Carter - will have in store, here's a little refresher on where every character ended up at the end of season three ...

Alexandra Breckenridge as Mel Monroe
Mel had an on-again-off-again relationship with Jack (Martin Henderson) during season three. While they were on a break, Mel went back to Los Angeles and decided to try in-vitro fertilisation with sperm from her late husband Mark (played by Daniel Gillies in flashbacks). When she returned to Virgin River, she rekindled her romance with Jack. She found out in the season three finale that she was pregnant, and right before Jack proposed, she had to tell him she was pregnant and didn't know who the father was.

Martin Henderson as Jack
Throughout season three, Jack had to deal with negotiating parenting details with Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley), who is pregnant with his twins. Charmaine had a new boyfriend named Todd, who Jack noticed becoming increasingly controlling. By the finale, Jack and Charmaine were gearing up for a custody battle. Jack was also preparing to propose to Mel in the finale. But she stopped him before he could get words out to tell him that she was pregnant and didn't know if he was the biological father or if it was her late husband.

Tim Matheson as Doc Mullins
Vernon "Doc" Mullins was facing retirement after a macular degeneration diagnosis in season three. He also struggled to communicate with his partner Hope (Annette O'Toole), who was in South Carolina helping an elderly aunt during a storm. The former exes were planning to remarry when life got in their way. In the season finale, a young man also shows up at the town inn claiming to be Doc's grandson, but they don't meet.

Annette O'Toole as Hope McCrea
Hope was in South Carolina off-screen most of season three caring for an elderly aunt after a natural disaster. While coming home, she got into a car accident we didn't see and was in a medically-induced coma at the end of the season three finale.

Colin Lawrence and Chase Petriw as Preacher and Christopher
Preacher took care of Paige's (Lexa Doig) son Christopher (Chase Petriw) for most of the season while she was on the run after killing Christopher's abusive father. In the season three finale, Jack made Preacher a partner in Jack's Bar. Immediately afterwards, Preacher fell for a plot by Paige's ex-husband's brother Vince to have a woman drug him. It's presumably a plan to make it easier to attempt to kidnap Christopher. In his last scene of the season, Preacher fell to the ground seemingly passed out after he drank a poisoned soda.

Benjamin Hollingsworth as Brady
Brady spent most of season three insisting he didn't shoot Jack, whose wound healed quickly at the beginning of the season. He also fell in love with Jack's sister Brie (Zibby Allen). Despite his claims, the gun used to shoot Jack was found in his truck at the end of the season, and he was arrested in his final season three scene.

Grayson Maxwell Gurnsy as Ricky
Ricky spent most of season three trying to find alone time with Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale). They eventually broke up and he told her he enlisted in the Marines.

Sarah Dugdale as Lizzie
After she broke up with Ricky, Lizzie reconciled with her ex-boyfriend Parker (Markian Tarasiuk). He came to Virgin River in season three to try to convince her to move back to Los Angeles. At the end of the season, the couple was making plans to go on a road trip across the country.

Lauren Hammersley as Charmaine and Patrick Sabongui as Todd
Charmaine's new boyfriend Todd became her husband by the end of season three. He also became increasingly controlling and convinced her that Jack didn't belong in the twins' lives even though he's their biological father.

The first, second, third and fourth seasons of Virgin River are available to stream on Netflix now.
