WARNING: Contains MAJOR spoliers from the ending of Virgin River season 2  First of all, Hope and Doc revealed they were getting married again. But in true Virgin River style, as they headed to a surprise engagement party thrown by the town, Doc revealed to Hope he had been for a medical check-up, and it wasn't good news - although he didn't reveal what was wrong. Elsewhere, the season 2 finale saw Preacher accept a job offer in San Francisco but two arrivals threatened his plans. 3 Preacher had a tough time on Virgin River season 3 Credit: Netflix  First, Wes' twin brother showed up to find out what happened to Wes and then Paige's son Christopher also turned up looking for somewhere to stay. We also found out that Brady was going to be arrested for his part in the drug smuggling ring. Finally, the show finished on a major cliffhanger, because after Mel and Jack FINALLY agreed to make it work, he was shot. We didn't see the shooter, we just saw Mel discover him dying on the floor. Well judging by that cliffhanger, there is loads we can expect from a third series - the first will be to find out if Jack survives - and who shot him. Doc's fate will also be revealed, as he it looks like he could be seriously ill. Season 3 will also see Jack's twins being born, and this could put a serious strain on his relationship with Mel - as we all know Charmaine will make her presence known in their lives. The Netflix show is set in the US but filming locations are actually in Canada
