Remove Ads Virgin River Season 7: Decisions and Dreams Virgin River Season 7: Moments of Resolution and Reflection Awaiting the Next Chapter: Virgin River Season 8 and Beyond FAQs When will Virgin River Season 7 be released? Has Netflix revealed anything about the upcoming episodes? As excitement builds for Season 7 of Virgin River, Netflix has quietly unveiled the titles of its upcoming episodes, offering a subtle glimpse into the dramatic arcs and character journeys that lie ahead. While the episodes are listed alphabetically rather than in sequence, the titles alone are enough to set fan theories in keeping with the emotional and character-driven storytelling of the series, each title hints at deeper conflicts, potential milestones, or warm moments ahead in the town of Virgin River. Here is a breakdown of what these newly revealed titles may signify, based on cast updates, production details, and long-running themes from the show, as per a report by What's On 7 is expected to pick up directly after the Season 6 finale cliffhanger, where Jack stepped into the twins' bedroom, leaving viewers in suspense. The showrunner has already confirmed continuity in the emotional tone, and the titles released appear to support the list are the following episode names:Each offers clues into not just standalone plot points, but the broader thematic canvas of Season such as Always Anywhere Forever and La Luna De Miel appear to anchor the season in significant relationship milestones. The former could signal a vow renewal or fresh beginning for Mel and Jack, especially if they are finally ready to settle into their farm life and revisit plans for expanding their family. The title reads like a promise, possibly a reaffirmation of love amidst past La Luna De Miel confirms a long-anticipated romantic retreat. With scenes filmed in Mexico, including Tulum and Yucatán, fans can expect scenic visuals alongside intimate character development. The possibility of new revelations, either joyous or disruptive, during the honeymoon phase cannot be ruled out, as per the What's On Netflix introduction of Clay, a former rodeo rider portrayed by Cody Kearsley, seems to tie in closely with Back in the Saddle. This could be a dual reference, highlighting Clay's backstory while also marking Doc's potential return to clinical practice following his license storyline remains emotionally charged, especially with rising tensions between his clinic and Grace Valley. The title David and Goliath may correspond to this medical feud, placing Doc in an underdog position as he fights for his legacy and his River's younger couples appear to take center stage with titles like Beautiful Child. This likely refers to the upcoming birth of Lizzie and Denny's baby, a moment expected to carry emotional weight. While Mel's own journey toward motherhood remains unresolved, Lizzie's narrative might act as a mirror, bringing back hopes and reflections for both Mel and episode title might also echo the emotional tone of past Virgin River episodes that have drawn upon classic songs. Although Beautiful Child is also the name of a Fleetwood Mac track, its lyrical themes seem unlikely to align precisely with the episode's story, suggesting instead a symbolic or sentimental use of the phraseIt Takes a Village fits squarely into the Virgin River formula: a feel-good, community-centered chapter where the townsfolk rally behind one another. Recent social media footage from the set revealed Civil War reenactments and community events at Roland's house, Hope's ex-husband, indicating that this episode may offer both levity and heartfelt River has long thrived on its small-town charm, and this title suggests an ensemble episode highlighting unity and mutual titles hint at internal dilemmas and pivotal decisions, No Regrets and Pipe Dreams. In the case of No Regrets, the arc could center around Brie and her long-standing love triangle involving Brady and Mike. The time may have come for Brie to commit, or perhaps to choose a path that doesn't involve either man. The title suggests closure and personal the other hand, Pipe Dreams may reflect ambition and risk-taking. Whether it involves a new business venture, a creative endeavor, or a bold romantic move, the episode is likely to spotlight a character who breaks out of the show's traditional cycles and pursues something audacious. This aligns with Netflix's recent announcement confirming Season 8, meaning storylines introduced in Season 7 could serve as foundations for the title The Afterglow carries the weight of aftermath, possibly emotional or narrative fallout from Season 6's final moments. It might represent the beginning of Season 7, showcasing the immediate consequences of Jack's discovery and how it reshapes the dynamics between him, Mel, and the Match, meanwhile, is open to multiple interpretations. Whether it alludes to matchmaking efforts from the town's elders, the spark of new romance, or a confrontation between characters, possibly involving the returning Calvin (now played by Josh Blacker), this episode could bring a sense of heightened tension or pivotal Season 7 does not yet have an official premiere date, fans remain hopeful for a 2025 release. Production reportedly wrapped late, delaying any formal announcement from Netflix. Still, anticipation is building, particularly with confirmation that Season 8 has already been for Season 8 is likely to begin in 2026, setting the stage for another chapter in the lives of Mel, Jack, and the rest of Virgin River's close-knit Netflix hasn't confirmed a specific release date, fans are anticipating a 2025 premiere. Production delays have pushed back announcements, but momentum is building following the confirmation of Season Netflix quietly unveiled the episode titles for Season 7. While listed alphabetically (not in order of release), the titles hint at major plot developments and emotional arcs.

Steven Tyler and Joe Perry have lunch in Florida. Could an Aerosmith reunion be next?
It was just another sunny day on Florida's west coast — until two rock legends showed up for lunch. Singer Steven Tyler, 77, and guitarist Joe Perry, 74, of Aerosmith were spotted grabbing a bite and posing for a photo together at Morton's Gourmet Market, a longtime specialty food store in Sarasota. The market opened in 1969 — just a year before Aerosmith launched the career that would eventually land the band in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. In the photo shared by Morton's on social media, Tyler — wearing a sheer black shirt, patterned pants, layered necklaces, and holding a Morton's bag — stands smiling next to two employees in branded black shirts. To their right is Perry, in a burgundy button-down shirt, ripped jeans, beaded jewelry, and his signature wild hair, completing a snapshot that must have delighted fans and likely surprised a few unsuspecting shoppers. Why did Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith visit Morton's in Florida? A manager for Morton's — which opened more than half a century ago when Ted Morton purchased Marable's Market — could not be immediately reached for comment. However, the gourmet grocery store revealed on social media that the rock stars, once known as the 'Toxic Twins,' dropped in for a bite to eat. 'Never a dull moment at the market!' Morton's posted on Thursday, June 19. 'Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith dropped by for lunch. Awesome guys!' Of course, Sarasota has deep ties to Aerosmith, with Perry owning a home on Longboat Key. But appearances by the guitar hero remain rare — especially ones where he's accompanied by his longtime lead singer and songwriting partner, a duo responsible for such classic rock anthems as the Aerosmith hits 'Walk This Way,' 'Same Old Song and Dance,' and 'Back in the Saddle.' Could an Aerosmith reunion be happening? Aerosmith retired from touring last year after Tyler suffered a vocal cord injury. But Perry is preparing to get back on stage with his namesake group — and some familiar faces are joining him. The Joe Perry Project's eight-date run kicks off Aug. 13 at the Seminole Hard Rock Tampa Event Center and features fellow Aerosmith members Brad Whitford and Buck Johnson, along with Chris Robinson of The Black Crowes and Robert DeLeo and Eric Kretz of Stone Temple Pilots. Could Tyler make a surprise appearance? The Sarasota sighting certainly fuels the speculation. Perry's publicist did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Smack The Pony comedy troupe reunite over 20 YEARS after their Channel 4 series ended
The Smack The Pony comedy troupe are reuniting – more than 20 years after their comedy series ended on Channel 4. Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan and Sally Phillips are reviving their comic sketches for the Edinburgh Fringe festival at the Gilded Balloon this summer. The three comedians say they have lots of new ideas for skits and can't wait to reunite 24 years after the show came off air. In a statement, the trio said: 'This is slightly surreal because it's 24 years since we finished. We're not old comedy, we now qualify as vintage, which is cool. Is it?' 'Because we always talk sketch ideas when we get together, on some level it's almost as if 'Smack the Pony' never really stopped - that it just kept going in some parallel universe. 'So it feels like Gilded Balloon is some kind of portal and we'll be popping into catch up with Series 26. We're very grateful to have this chance to hang out and take the p*** out of ourselves again - we've missed it!' Their show, titled Back in the Saddle, will also feature broadcaster Kirsty Wark and will be a look back at the TV series with classic sketches revisited as well as their new material. Smack The Pony - which was created by Victoria Pile, who also wrote surreal hospital sitcom Green Wing - ran on Channel 4 for three series from 1999 to 2002, and concluded with two specials broadcast over Christmas 2002 and New Year 2003. Back in 2019, 'Two Doors Down' actress Doon, 62, revealed in an interview with The i newspaper that the trio had written a host of fresh sketches for a potential TV comeback but executives were not interested in bringing back 'Smack The Pony'. She said: 'It's just been really difficult. We've pitched to a few places and it's not happening. 'I don't know whether it's [because it's] older women but it's not happening, which is, to me, astonishing. You think, how funny does it have to be? With the brand?' Doon, Fiona, 60, and Sally, 54, previously reunited for a sketch for Red Nose Day in 2017. Chris McCausland is not returning for a second series of his talk show. The Chris McCausland Show ran on ITV for 11 episodes and saw the stand-up comedian interview an array of celebrity guests, including Paul Whitehouse, Rob Beckett, Pixie Lott and more. The comic's publicist has released a statement revealing that Chris, 47, made the decision to walk away from the programme to pursue other projects. The 2024 Strictly Come Dancing winner has been inundated with work offers since becoming the first blind contestant to take home the Glitterball Trophy on the BBC One ballroom show. The publicist told comedy news website Chortle: 'It was Chris who stepped away from this show. It was a great experience but he's looking at other opportunities and there have been a lot of offers since 'Strictly'.' Chris' next confirmed project is a BBC Two documentary which will focus on how technology has changed the way he has been able to continue his life after losing his sight by age 22 due to the genetic condition retinitis pigmentosa. Seeing Into The Future will show Chris visiting Silicon Valley and investigating the latest technology helping people with blindness and severe sight issues. Chris will also be releasing his memoir later this year. Announcing the book in January 2025, he said: 'I thought 'Strictly' was terrifying but my book has a release date and I haven't started writing it yet.
