Virgin River‘s Stacey Farber revealed if she was back after the show lost several cast members.
“I haven’t heard. It’s always a surprise,” Farber, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly. “I’ve gone away and come back.”
Farber didn’t rule out making a return someday. “I love that they’re still going,” she noted. “They just aired their [new season] and I know sometimes they film really far in advance on that show. So I don’t know if they’ve already moved ahead. I can’t speak to it, but I love [the idea of coming back].”
Virgin River, which is based on Robyn Carr‘s book series of the same name, follows the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California.
Virgin River has gone through a surprising amount of cast exits through the years. Based on Robyn Carr’s book series, Virgin River follows the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California, including Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson). The hit series, which premiered in 2019, also stars Colin Lawrence, Annette […]
In season 7, which premiered in March, Mike (Marco Grazzini) and Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) were written out of the show.
“For me, I’m just trying to look to the longevity of the show and making sure that the characters that we’re keeping have enough story engine in them to keep going,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Deadline at the time. “So I can’t say there are any specific cast shakeups planned, but I think we will have to start to — as characters run their course — make some decisions and bring in some new blood.”
There have been other major departures from the Netflix show over the years, including Grayson Gurnsey’s exit from his role as Ricky after season 4.
Mark Ghanimé, who played Cameron, also left the series once season 6 was released.
Outside of playing Tara on Virgin River, Farber has remained booked and busy with roles in projects such as Hallmark’s I’ll Be Seeing You opposite Tyler Hynes and Christine Ebersole.
“My character is a classic workaholic, who can’t let go of her job to just enjoy her life even a little,” Farber told Us of the film. “She goes to visit her grandmother, who she’s very close with, and her boss calls and says she needs to close a deal down the coast in California, where this is set. So, her grandmother pitches a road trip, a girls trip to her with her grandmother’s best friend as well.”
She continued, “They get in the car and get a flat tire, and that’s where Tyler’s character, Mark, comes in to save the day and flirt and impart wisdom about the necessity of enjoying your life and being more spontaneous.”
Virgin River is streaming on Netflix now.
