Here's Definitive Proof Martin Henderson is Virgin River's Best Part
Five things to love about Jack Sheridan.
Viewers are obsessing over the Virgin River romance between Alexandra Breckenridge's Mel Monroe and Martin Henderson's Jack Sheridan, and rightfully so. From the moment the new Virgin River nurse met the local bar owner, a troubled ex-Marine, fans knew their relationship would be unique. As they got to know Jack better, they fell in love with him, just like Mel.
Here are Jack Sheridan's five traits that prove he is easily the best part of the Netflix romantic series.
He is loyal
Moving to Virgin River was not easy for Mel. Dealing with her personal issues, the protagonist struggled to fit into the small-town community. That's when Jack became her anchor. Despite having many problems of his own, he has always been and will undoubtedly continue to be there for Mel.
He is responsible
When Jack found out about Charmaine's pregnancy, he behaved like a responsible adult and didn't even consider distancing himself from the woman he no longer had feelings for. He even put his growing affection for Mel on hold to ensure he did the right thing.
He is solid
If there's one thing audiences want from a romantic male character, it's for him to be dependable. That is exactly what Jack demonstrated when he proposed to Mel, even though he did not know if he was the father of her child. Mel's and many Virgin River fans' hearts melted at this symbolic gesture.
He will be a great dad
When a DNA test confirmed that Jack was the father of Mel's child, he seemed to get cold feet. But it was actually a reaction that showed how deeply Jack cared about his new family. He was worried that his PTSD would affect Mel and their unborn daughter, indicating that he would be a loving and especially attentive father. We can't wait to see him in action!
He is hot
There's no denying that looks and overall image go a long way in making or breaking a romantic hero. When Martin Henderson's smouldering physique meets Jack Sheridan's troubled but loyal nature, it's pure magic. Could anyone be more irresistible? We doubt it.
