When it comes to Doc Mullins, there is no one in Virgin River that knows him better than Hope McCrea. The couple were married for 20 years before calling it quits. However, they never stopped loving each other. In fact, it was Hope that hired Mel Monroe to come work with Doc without his knowledge. Hope serves as the mayor of Virgin River, and she and Doc make the ultimate pair, despite their stubborn personalities and tendency to butt heads. However, the pair have some heartbreaking history between them. During their marriage, Doc was unfaithful to Hope with her best friend. The physician sought comfort from another woman after a difficult case where he lost a young patient, which cost him his marriage. Although Hope and Doc split, they never officially divorced.
Despite the fact that Hope and Doc shared a great love for each other, it wasn’t easy for them to move on from the past. Eventually, the pair talked about things and realized that they belonged together. They rekindled the romantic part of their relationship and were happier than ever when a dramatic tragedy struck. Hope was involved in a scary car accident that caused cognitive issues. Of course, Doc stood by her through it all and the pair continued to fight for each other and their love.
