"Wait. I clearly missed Preacher. What happened??" A third chimed, while many more admitted that they had completely forgotten about the fact that in the final episode of season three, Preacher was drugged and left in the woods for dead by a so-called friend of Paige's.
He had been under the impression that he was reuniting Christopher and Paige, but it turned out that it was actually to help Christopher's dad get his hands on the young boy, who was then kidnapped.

Elsewhere in the episodes, fans have been introduced to some new characters, including a love interest for Preacher - who is actually played by Colin's real-life wife! Lucia Walters, who has been married to the actor for 20 years, plays a recruiter/martial arts instructor by the name of Julia.
Lucia's character isn't the only new face viewers in the new season, as Mark Ghanimé has joined the show as the clinic's dashing new physician Dr Cameron Hayek, and Kai Bradbury plays Doc's long-lost grandson Denny Cutler who has come to Virgin River to forge a connection with his grandfather.
