Charmaine Roberts is a recurring character in Virgin River. Introduced as the casual girlfriend of Jack Sheridan, Charmaine constantly struggles with figuring out where the two stand. She initially has a conflict with Hope McCrea since her mother had an affair with Vernon Mullins, Hope’s husband, many years prior, but later the two make amends. Eventually, Jack and Charmaine break up due to being on different pages regarding their relationship and Charmaine recognised his feelings for Melinda Monroe. At the end of Season 1, she discovers that she is pregnant and it is revealed that she is expecting twins in Season 2.

History

Not much is known about Charmaine’s origins other than the fact that her mother was called Rachel and was good friends with Hope McCrea. Her father, whose name is unknown, was close with Lilly Anderson’s husband, Buck. She grew up in Clear River where she continues to reside.

Relationship with Jack

Charmaine and Jack are in a casual relationship upon Mel's arrival to Virgin River. After Mel catches Jack's eye, the relationship between Charmaine and Jack begins to suffer as a result. Shortly after, Jack calls things off with Charmaine, much to her dismay, citing that he never wanted anything serious with her, despite having been casual for two years.

Charmaine tries on numerous occasions to rekindle her relationship with Jack, but he is reluctant and pulls away at every opportunity. Charmaine blames Mel for this, and the two become enemies before ever getting to know one another properly. Eventually, Charmaine learns that she is pregnant with Jack's child, believing that this will draw Jack back in and fix the issues faced by the two.

Twins

After learning that she is pregnant, Charmaine struggles when Jack makes it clear that he will be there for the baby, but will not be with Charmaine in a romantic setting. Tensions arise between Charmaine and Mel when Vernon suggests that Mel become Charmaine's nurse practitioner, given she has more experience in the field than him. Not long after, Mel confirms that Charmaine is pregnant with twins (Season 2, Episode 3).

Panic sets in around Virgin River when Charmaine becomes seriously ill but refuses to go to the hospital. After consultation by both Vernon and Mel, it becomes clear that Charmaine is suffering from HG, meaning that she will suffer a prolonged period of morning sickness, often lasting the entirety of the pregnancy. Whilst Mel tries to convince Charmaine that she needs to go the hospital, things become difficult as Charmaine refuses given her mother died in the hospital.

Charmaine initially refuses to co-operate with Mel and her treatment.

Eventually, Charmaine begins to co-operate with Mel in her treatment for HG, and allows Mel to fit an IV drip into her arm to hydrate her. When the symptoms of her HG are under control, Charmaine is free to return home, having formerly been living with Hope, given her proximity to the practice.

When her aunt wants to throw her baby shower she revealed that she was expecting twin boys but she didn't want Jack to know.

Difficult decisions

With the prospect of the birth of their twins on the horizon, Charmaine faces a difficult decision about where she will live with the twins. Things are made more complex when her aunt offers to allow her to move in with her in Portland, Oregon. Charmaine is initially unaware that Jack is considering buying a house for himself and the twins, and considers the offer, much to Hope and Mel's surprise.

Charmaine is eventually made aware of Jack's intentions, but finds it difficult when Jack makes it clear that the two will not be living together in a romantic setting.

Marriage

At some point, she meets Todd Masry who is willing to be a father to the twins at first. Unlike Jack, the man is wealthy so he talks her into quitting her job. After some time, they marry but he soon leaves her. One evening when she is home alone, she suffers a medical issue requring her to call Jack and Mel over. When they arrive, she announced that Jack wasn't the father of the twins. A few days later she reveals that it was a one-night stand who is the father and that she had been lying for months.

Life after Divorce

Now that she is alone, she got her job back so as to be a better parent to her unborn sons. At the Labor Day carnival, she learns that Calvin is alive when he tells her that he wants to be a father to his sons, revealing that he was the one who got her pregnant.

Birth of Twins

After suffering braxton hicks contractions, she is upset when Calvin shows up, causing them to speed up. He drives her to the doctors, revealing that he is the father to Mel. Charmaine then procceeds to go into labor, giving birth to the boys on Christmas Eve.

Personality

She is very immature and her personality swings from passive-aggressive to pushy and manipulative. She takes every opportunity she can get to try to get under Jack’s skin.
