Austin Nichols certainly knows how to make an impact on established shows. He joined One Tree Hill in Season 6 as Julian Baker and became an integral part of the show’s fabric. He was cast as Eli, a man from Mel’s (Alexandra Breckenridge) past, in Virgin River Season 7, but he was only seen briefly. (Warning: Virgin River Season 7 spoilers ahead!) 

Eli returned in the Season 7 finale as Mel and Jack (Martin Henderson) brought Marley (Rachel Drance) to the hospital where Mel once worked. Once Marley gave birth to the baby that Mel and Jack were adopting, the newborn would need life-saving surgery for a congenital heart defect. Turns out, Eli would be the one performing the surgery.
