After lending her voice to Family Guy for 14 seasons, Alexandra Breckenridge was finally animated into an episode as Virgin River's Mel — and she had no idea.

Alexandra Breckenridge has starred in shows like This Is Us, The Walking Dead and Virgin River, which is now in its seventh season on Netflix. But her most meaningful role to date is that of mom.

In true Virgin River fashion, Melinda “Mel” Monroe Sheridan (Alexandra Breckenridge) and her new husband, Jack (Martin Henderson), end Season 7 on an emotional high – and a devastating cliffhanger.

Alexandra Breckenridge offers Virgin River fans a major clue about the name Mel and Jack could have given their newborn son, which we will learn about in season 8.

Virgin River has yet to reveal the name of Mel and Jack's new baby, but after speaking with Alexandra Breckenridge, TVLine has a pretty good idea what it'll be.
