I couldn’t find any recent reports of fans begging a specific actress to join Virgin River due to her similarity to an existing cast member. Instead, fans have been excited about shows like Sullivan’s Crossing, Hart of Dixie, and Chesapeake Shores—calling them “Virgin River dupes”—for their striking small‑town vibes and familiar cast (like Charmaine and Lilly from Virgin River reappearing in Sullivan’s Crossing) express.co.uk+8dexerto.com+8reddit.com+8.

Reddit fans frequently note the resemblance between Virgin River and other cozy medical dramas—for example:

“Virgin River is just The Good Witch”
“Hart of Dixie was a much better show… one of the characters from Virgin River is actually in Sullivan’s Crossing” the-express.com+5reddit.com+5the-express.com+5newsvoice.infoexpress.co.uk+2reddit.com+2dexerto.com+2

But there’s no specific actress from another series that fandoms are actively campaigning to cast on Virgin River based on looks alone.

⭐ If you meant suggestions for similar actresses perfect for Virgin River, here are three fan favorites:

1. Abigail Spencer – Known from Rectify and Timeless, she’s often cited for her wholesome small‑town charm.

2. Peyton List – With a bubbly yet strong presence seen in Cobra Kai, she could bring a fresh GP or schoolteacher role.

3. Liane Balaban – A fan‑favorite from Canadian dramas, praised for her grounded and empathetic performances would blend beautifully into Virgin River’s ensemble.
