Ben Hollingsworth<\/strong><\/a> would love to reunite with Jana Kramer<\/strong><\/a> on a new project after they played love interests in a Christmas movie \u2014 and what better way than to have her join Virgin River<\/em><\/a>?<\/p>\n

\u201cI had such a great time working with Jana. She\u2019s so professional but such a friendly and nice person,\u201d Hollingsworth, 42, exclusively told Us<\/em> while discussing his upcoming participation in the Meet Cute Con<\/a>. \u201cOur families got along really well. I brought my family out to Nashville when we were shooting The Christmas Ring, and she had us over to her house a couple times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hollingsworth loved the friendship he formed with Kramer, also 42, adding, \u201cWe just had a really great chemistry right off the bat. So I would love to do something with Jana. You know what? She\u2019s been very vocal about wanting to be on Virgin River. So maybe that\u2019s the play is [to] try and get her on Virgin River.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor loved Us<\/em>\u2018 idea of having Kramer shake things up by creating a new love triangle<\/a> with Brady (Hollingsworth) and Brie (Zibby Allen<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\u201cThat makes perfect sense. I think that would be great,\u201d Hollingsworth added. \u201cNew characters come and go on Virgin River, and they change the feeling of that community. But the core of it is still the same: people who show up for each other, who love each other, who support each other, who go through everything together \u2014 that\u2019s what makes this show special. So to bring someone like Jana in, of course, would be amazing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Based on Robyn Carr<\/strong>\u2019s book series, Virgin River<\/em> follows the lives of residents in a small town<\/a> in Northern California, including Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge<\/strong>) and Jack (Martin Henderson<\/strong>). The hit series, which premiered in 2019, also stars Colin Lawrence, Annette O\u2019Toole, Tim Matheson, <\/strong>Hollingsworth, Sarah Dugdale<\/strong>, Allen and Kai Bradbury<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After finding success, Virgin River<\/em> went on to become Netflix\u2019s longest streaming series<\/a> with seven seasons \u2014 and counting. Hollingsworth spoke to Us<\/em> about how the love for the show inspired the upcoming fan convention Meet Cute Con in Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the best fans. They\u2019re the ones who got us here, and we\u2019ve gotten to meet a lot of them just walking around Earth. Wherever we are in the world, there\u2019s a Virgin River fan somewhere, and they\u2019re the best people,\u201d he gushed. \u201cThey\u2019re so nice, and they\u2019re so kind, so what an opportunity to come to Nashville [and meet them]. Nashville itself is so much fun, but to celebrate Virgin River with the fans and come together and make a community \u2014 which is essentially what makes Virgin River so special \u2014 is that more special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hollingsworth expressed excitement at the chance to reunite with his Virgin River<\/em> costars in a cozy environment with their fans.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tWhile Virgin River is Netflix\u2019s longest-running scripted series, viewers have been left confused about how much time has actually passed on the show. Based on Robyn Carr\u2019s 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, [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cTo form our own little small town for a weekend and talk all things Virgin River \u2014 and there\u2019s a few other shows there too that they\u2019re going to be having panels [for] \u2014 is great,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey\u2019re doing it at the Loveless Barn, which is this iconic Nashville cafe that\u2019s super intimate. It\u2019s not a large convention center, which doesn\u2019t really feel like Virgin River. This definitely feels like something right out of Virgin River. The fact that we\u2019re able to all be there at the same weekend and do our first public, fan-facing event is going to be exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meet Cute Con<\/a> will also include cast members from One Tree Hill<\/em> and The Way Home<\/em> \u2014 with more surprises on the way.<\/p>\n
