One picture shows Mel and Jack in a warm embrace, perhaps suggesting that the pair have received good news following the season three cliffhanger that saw Mel reveal she was pregnant - but with either Jack or her late husband's baby.

In another snap, Doc and Hope could be seen back together - and dressed rather well, which perhaps indicates that their vow renewal ceremony will feature this season after being scrapped in season three.
As fans will know, Annette O'Toole, who plays Hope, was notably absent from season three after the coronavirus pandemic made it impossible for her to join the rest of the cast during filming in 2020.
