“Nobody has said anything yet. As far as I know, Tara will look after Chloe. I’m pretty sure Annette [O’Toole] will come back as Hope. Nobody has any idea,” Boyd added.
Viewers know that Tara, portrayed by Stacey Farber, was introduced to the Virgin River in season 3. She’s Lily’s eldest daughter who came to town to help her mother take care of baby Chloe. Meanwhile, Annette O’Toole also debuted in the series as Hope, the town mayor. O’Toole had a limited appearance in the series because of the pandemic.
If Boyd does reprise her role in the upcoming season, she won’t be the first one to return in flashbacks. The show has brought back several characters in the same manner such as Mark Monroe (Daniel Gillies).
