Virgin River's Alexandra Breckenridge apologizes to fans as she announces disappointing news
The 41-year-old actress was due to reunite with her co-star Martin Henderson in October
Virgin River star Alexandra Breckenridge has shared some disappointing news about her upcoming live autograph signing with her co-star Martin Henderson.
Taking to her Instagram Stories over the weekend, the actress revealed that the duo are having to postpone the fan event due to "very unforeseen circumstances".
Addressing her 1.1 million followers, the 41-year-old apologized for the change of plans. "So, Streamily live, October 14. Unfortunately, we have to push the date due to very unforeseen circumstances and we're really, really sorry about this.
"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's announcement comes just over a month before the second part of 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.

When will Virgin River season six be released?
While the good news is that will return for another season, the bad news is that we could be waiting a little while for it.
While the writers' strike is officially over, SAG-AFTRA – which represents actors among other media professionals – is still on strike and currently in negotiations with the AMPTP, which represents major Hollywood studios.
