This new burst, available on Netflix, has in fact raised temperatures to warm up subscribers of the streaming platform this winter. And while two actors refused the help of an intimacy coordinator for their torrid scene, another had a very daring proposal to spice up his intimate scene with his playing partner. If the fiction thus chose to spice up a bit of things with this season 6, it is not trivial, as Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel) confided during an interview with the American site TV Line. The actress revealed that it was a request from fans because they found that there had not been enough intimate scenes in the previous round. “Okay, we’re going to go back a little bit and bring a little wild river back to our Virgin River“, recalled the actress during a conversation with Patrick Sean Smith, the showrunner of the series, who also confirmed the departure of an actor.
Martin Henderson (Jack) improvised his striptease scene in season 6 of Virgin River
But among all the intimate scenes in season 6 of Virgin Riverone in particular will remain engraved in the minds of fans. This is the striptease scene of Jack, played by Martin Henderson. For TV Line, the actor returned to this sequence and revealed that he had some apprehensions when he learned of its existence. “I erased this scene from my memory“, Martin Henderson began to reveal with a laugh, before explaining more fully: “At first, I said to myself: ‘Ah okay…’. I told myself it was going to be simulated, not shown… I think I was in denial. Then I read the scene and I was like, ‘Oh my God, I’m totally going to miss a whole performance.’ At that point, I contacted production and said, ‘Okay, I need the best striptease choreographer we can find.’ Then I thought about it and I was like, ‘Wait a second. Jack Sheridan, the ex-marine owner of a bar in a small town in Northern California, is now going to be like Magic Mike… But it will seem more comical than anything else if he has developed the whole a routine. So I called production back and said, ‘You know what, don’t worry about that, I’ll figure it out the same day.“.
