She left Los Angeles big city life to forget and heal and she finds herself in the midst of smalltown life where not all locals welcome her - especially her new boss, the old school doctor. Zibby Allen, Sarah Dugdale, Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanimé, Kai Bradbury, and Kandyse McClure also star. Mel is starting a new job in a small town called Virgin River. Season five stars Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, and Benjamin Hollingsworth. It also shows a fire raging, relationships being put to the test, and a coming together of Virgin River’s citizens are in store over the upcoming first half of season five. It is a natural and wonderful thing that our bodies were created to do.Netflix’s trailer for Virgin River season five part one shows Mel choosing to take care of herself instead of work. This scene is harmful to our society as it contributes to the idea that it is something to fear. Learn more about the full cast of Virgin River with news, photos, videos and more at TV Guide. Birth is an amazing and beautiful experience. Every mother should be made aware of all risks and options and be supported in having the birth that she is comfortable with. I am not exclusively biased away from hospital births. For the record: I would not recommend Charmaine have a home birth either due to her circumstances, but using Mel's stillbirth to scare Charmaine was shameful and unprofessional. The ‘Virgin River’ Cast Are the Talk of the Town Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson star in the soapy small-town drama. (I risked out of a birth center birth with my second because my water broke early.) Mel could have explained the risks professionally and that she is uncomfortable with a home birth for those reasons, but the writers favored drama over what a real midwife would have done. Midwives have rules and you can risk-out of certain options. Yes Charmaine is birthing twins and has an already complicated pregnancy, but the same scene could have happened without using fear and emotions to manipulate and expecting mother. This scene fuels the fear narrative surrounding birth in America. Hospitals are more prepared for certain complications but those complications are not present at most births. As a midwife she should know that the location would not effect a child being born still. Mel says, "if I had done anything unconventional I would never have forgiven myself." Which is a terrible thing to say and harmful to anyone considering an out-of-hospital birth experience. As if the location of the birth would have anything to do with a baby's likelihood of being stillborn. Disclosure: I am a birth worker (doula) I am appalled at the way that Mel's stillbirth was used to manipulate Charmaine. I have never made a review but I am so disappointed in the way the birth plan scene was written that I had to.
