Charmaine's fate differs significantly between Virgin River books and series

In the "Virgin River" novels by Robyn Carr, Charmaine Roberts has a minor role and is not pregnant. She does not remain in Virgin River, and there is no custody battle as seen in the Netflix series. In the series, Charmaine's character faces significant drama. Season 5 reveals that Calvin is the father of her twins, leading to a custody battle in Season 6, where she ultimately wins. The series introduces intense situations, including a possible kidnapping or worse involving Charmaine, which does not occur in the books. Her storyline in the novels is much less complicated and lacks life-threatening events.
