The latest season of Virgin River has viewers talking, particularly due to the controversial episode written by the married writing duo, Griffith and Keller.

This isn’t their first venture into the world of Virgin River; in fact, they have proven themselves to be adept at crafting high-stakes moments that

leave audiences buzzing. Their previous contribution, “Heroes Rise,” which aired as episode six of season 5, was a pivotal fire episode that left fans on edge,

and their return this season didn’t disappoint. Griffith and Keller have become somewhat of a go-to pair for the series when the writers want to pull the rug out from under viewers. Their knack for writing intense, game-changing episodes has made them fan favorites within the Virgin River community. Interestingly, Keller isn’t just a writer—she’s also an accomplished actress, known for her roles in Ryan’s Hope, Another World, and several sitcoms. This dual talent has allowed her to bring a unique perspective to the Virgin River scripts.

The couple’s recent contributions have been more sporadic, with one episode per season in both season 5 and season 6, making each one feel particularly impactful. Before their time on Virgin River, Griffith and Keller worked on an episode of Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings, showcasing their diverse writing abilities. However, Griffith’s background extends beyond these series—he’s also credited for his work on the hit supernatural drama Grimm. He wrote or edited 15 episodes of Grimm during its six-season run, contributing to its dark, suspenseful tone.

However, despite his impressive writing credentials, Griffith hasn’t yet had a chance to get behind the camera for Cobra Kai, the action-packed series in which he stars from season 4 onward. As Cobra Kai heads into its final chapter with season 6 part 3 on February 13, fans are eagerly awaiting the conclusion of the story. But Griffith and Keller aren’t leaving their mark solely on Cobra Kai; their Virgin River episodes continue to stir up conversation with each new installment.

Given their history of contributing to Virgin River, it’s not surprising that Griffith and Keller could return to write again in season 7. The series has already been renewed for another season, which leaves plenty of room for the duo to inject more drama into the lives of the characters in this small town. As fans eagerly await the next season, it’s clear that Griffith and Keller’s influence on Virgin River has been nothing short of significant. Their ability to craft episodes that blend emotional tension and unexpected twists ensures that their presence will continue to be felt in future seasons.
