Pony the Puppy – Might be recast!

In the holiday episodes of Virgin River, Jack gifted Mel a puppy named Pony. Originally, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith was thinking they could use the same puppy to portray an older version of Pony, as season six will feature a time jump.

However, with the Hollywood strikes, there was also a big delay in filming…meaning Pony the puppy might not fit the season six time jump after all.

Patrick told TVLine, “I’d always anticipated there would be a time jump after the holidays when we pick up with Season 6, so we were going to have that dog age naturally as we headed back into production. But we didn’t account for the five-month strike. So I don’t know where Pony is now in their maturation. I hope we don’t have to recast, but we might have to.”
