Like “Virgin River,” it adapts the work of a best-selling romance novelist — Jodi Thomas, who sets her books in her home state of Texas — putting pretty people against a magnificent landscape and complicating their lives with love, hate, calamity and a little sex.

Mr Kerr, who played PC George Kiss in Hollyoaks and has appeared in Netflix's Virgin River, requested that the family's privacy was respected during this "difficult period", adding that they would provide updates as appropriate.

Your character, like everybody in Virgin River, has been through it.
