“It’s not something Martin or myself, we didn’t want to cancel. It’s just we’re completely unable to make it work at this time. We’re going to try for the end of November or early December, hopefully. Both of us, honestly, we’re really, really sorry about this.”

She continued: “We don’t want to bum anybody out. Truly, truly, if we could make it happen we would. I’m very sorry.”

Alexandra and Martin were due to reunite in Los Angeles for the signing. Fans are particularly excited about the upcoming event as the last one took place back in February and saw the actors tune in from separate locations, rather than being in the same room.

Alexandra’s announcement comes just over a month before the second part of Virgin River season five lands on Netflix. The final two episodes, which are festive-themed, will be released just in time for the holiday season on November 30.

What happened in Virgin River season five part one?

Part one was released in September and saw Alexandra and Martin’s characters Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan prepare for the arrival of their first baby following their engagement in season four.

Elsewhere in the series, the Californian town was struck by a terrifying wildfire, prompting its residents to unite in a time of crisis.

Meanwhile, as Mel confronted a difficult dilemma regarding her future at Doc’s clinic, Jack was forced to face some long overdue confrontations, including with his own demons.

The synopsis continues: “And as Doc and Hope’s respective impairments throw their identities into question, the doctor and the mayor must find solace in their community, in their young new family, and in each other.”

Some new faces also arrived in town, including Lilly Anderson’s daughter Ava, who is played by Libby Olser, and firefighter Kaia, portrayed by Kandyse McClure.
