The cast has been busy posting recaps! It’s true: We probably spend way too much time

watching Virgin River while desperately wishing that we, too, were experiencing days filled

with small-town romance in the idyllic mountains and stunning scenery.

When we’re not thinking about shows like Virgin River, we’re allotting whatever spare time is left in our day to keep up with the cast—and any passionate fan of the Netflix series knows that the best way to do that is through social media! Those who follow Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, or Annette O’Toole on Instagram are also aware of just how much they love to tease us—usually in the form of a hilarious, never-before-seen Virgin River photos or videos. We don’t know what we did to deserve such blessings—but we’ve learned to not ask questions. Instead, we’ll give you a small taste of what we mean with a list of some of the best behind-the-scenes content from Virgin River.

As you prepare to watch those two holiday episodes in season 5 part 2 (and then ultimately begin that dreaded wait for season 6), you’ll be itching for more ways to get your fix of Virgin River. Well, this list of Instagram posts—from cast members like Ben Hollingsworth, Colin Lawrence, and more—will be enough to keep you company! Prepare to see lots of smiling faces, funny conversations, and precious content!

1.Alexandra Breckenridge explains a new TikTok trend.

Martin may not be up to date with the latest social media trends, but that hardly matters when you have a sidekick like Alexandra! The actress posted a video of herself laughing next to Martin while trying to explain the “Tortilla Challenge.” She captioned the post saying that it was her “favorite moment from filming season 5. I say we rematch in season 6!”

2. Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson try the “Tortilla Challenge.”

It seems that Alexandra’s video of her explaining the “Tortilla Challenge” was posted well after it happened, because she uploaded a clip of her and Martin participating in it themselves back in October of 2022! We’re not sure how she convinced him to try it with her, especially on camera, but boy did it make us laugh! 😂

3. Zibby Allen gives “acting notes” to Ben Hollingsworth.

In a short but hilarious clip, we see Ben Hollingsworth and Zibby Allen (who play the on-again-off-again couple Brady and Brie) try to promote Virgin River’s season 5 holiday episodes. Ben is pretty confident with his improv skills, but Zibby doesn’t seem too impressed! She pokes fun at him by saying “I have so many notes for your acting right now.” The two quickly laugh it off, which must mean this type of thing happens a lot between them!

4. Annette O’Toole gets “carried away.”

Annette once posted a carrousel of photos with a few of her costars—Trevor Lerner (you know him as the town truck driver), Colin Lawrence, and Ben Hollingsworth. The first pic in the series was a traditional smiling shot, but as Annette put it: “We got carried away.” The photos then turned into Colin being picked up by Trevor, and Annette being swooped up by Ben. If these aren’t what BFFs look like, we don’t know what does!

5. Kai Bradbury gets silly.

Don’t be fooled: Denny may be going through a lot on the show right now, but the actor who plays him (Kai Bradubury) is having the time of his life! Kai joined the series in season 4, and has posted cheeky photo dumps after each finale. We absolutely love seeing selfies of him and the rest of the cast decked out in their Virgin River attire, with the silliest faces you’ve ever seen!

6. Martin Henderson’s hairstylist dresses up as Jack for Halloween.

And the winner of Halloween goes to Martin’s hairstylist, Tamara! The actor strolled onto set while filming season 5 just to see her dressed identically to his character, Jack—hairstyle, beard, and all!

7. Alexandra Breckenridge loves a good photobomb.

Alexandra not being able to help herself from jumping in a selfie/video taken by her castmates proves that she’s just like us! It’s hard to resist a good photobomb, especially when it gives you the opportunity to turn a cute video into something totally embarrassing. (It’s always worth it, too!)

8. Marco Grazzini and Mark Ghanimé play golf with some geese.

Feel how you want about these two on the show, but off-screen, they share the sweetest friendship that’ll make anyone glow! We love this selfie of the two looking as cool as ever—and Marco’s caption makes it even better: “A cop, a doctor and some geese walk onto a golf course… Gimme your best punch lines.”

9. Charmaine’s twins are *finally* making their debut!

It feels like Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) has been pregnant for the entirety of the show! Many fans have pointed that out throughout the years, and Virgin River decided to join in on the fun by sharing a BTS moment of Lauren and Alexandra in a delivery room ready to finally deliver the twins. The actress even commented on the photo with a hilarious statement: “Full disclosure: I have very much enjoyed being pregnant for five years. I didn’t go to the gym. Ate what I wanted. Lots of bed rest and white wine.”
