Virgin River could cross paths with another small-town drama as star drops bombshell
With Virgin River becoming one of Netflix's biggest shows of all time and Sullivan's Crossing following in its footsteps, could a crossover be on the cards? Virgin River might potentially merge with another beloved small-town romance series, according to claims from this prominent star. Drawing inspiration from Robyn Carr's cherished bestselling novels, the Netflix sensation chronicles Mel Monroe (portrayed by Alexandra Breckenridge), a nurse practitioner who relocates to a remote community after experiencing personal tragedy. Upon arrival, she encounters bar proprietor and ex-Marine Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), with instant chemistry developing between them. The captivating romance has recently concluded filming for its seventh series, anticipated to arrive on Netflix towards the end of this year or potentially in early 2026. Meanwhile, American audiences have been engrossed in the newest series of Sullivan's Crossing, which follows comparable themes and draws from another Carr book collection, reports the Mirror US. Given this link, viewers have speculated whether these programmes might intersect, and it seems we now have our response. Starring Morgan Kohan and Chad Michael Murray, this heartwarming romance unfolds in Nova Scotia, centring on Kohan's character Maggie, a neurosurgeon who chooses to reconnect with her father Harry, known as Sully (Scott Patterson), whilst developing feelings for former solicitor California 'Cal' Jones (Murray). In conversation with TechRadar, Kohan revealed she'd enthusiastically welcome the opportunity to interact with Mel, Jack and the entire Virgin River ensemble should circumstances permit. "That would be so fun, why not!" she declared when presented with the concept. Despite the considerable geographical distance between the two towns, there's no reason why Virgin River and Timberlake can't exist in the same universe. Interestingly, Sullivan's Crossing, which airs on CTV in Canada and The CW in the US, has also found significant success on Netflix, much like Virgin River, becoming its streaming home in the States. The two shows even share a producer, Roma Roth, who is an executive producer for Virgin River and the creator and showrunner of Sullivan's Crossing.

Regardless, Kohan has teased plenty of unexpected twists in the newly renewed fourth season of Sullivan's Crossing, especially with the shocking revelation that Maggie is still wedded to her ex-lover, Liam (Marcus Rosner). "I hope they can [stay together]," she commented about her relationship with Cal. "They've built such a beautiful foundation, and clearly this is a bit of a bombshell. "I think it will take some trust to build them back up, and maybe a lot of explaining... but they are so good together." As the fanbase for both shows continues to expand, could Netflix surprise viewers by linking the Robyn Carr universe on screen? Virgin River is available to stream on Netflix. Sullivan's Crossing airs on CTW and is on Netflix in the US.

Spain cruise into women's Euros semis with 2-0 win over Switzerland
BERN, July 18 (Reuters) - Spain forward Athenea del Castillo came off the bench to open the scoring and Claudia Pina added a superb second as they beat hosts Switzerland 2-0 on Friday to reach the women's Euro semi-finals, where they will face France or Germany. For the best part of an hour, the hosts defended doggedly and attacked on the break, but once Spain found their groove they were able to quickly kill the game off with two expertly-taken goals. Spain looked to have made the perfect start when Mariona Caldentey was upended by a rash challenge by Nadine Riesen, but having opted to take the spot-kick herself the forward rolled it wide of the post. Pina had several chances for Spain but stout defending by the hosts saw them go in level at the break, much to the delight of the raucous crowd. It took a moment of brilliance from Aitana Bonmati to break the deadlock for the world champions in the 66th minute, teeing up Athenea with an instinctive backheel for the substitute to guide the ball past Swiss keeper Livia Peng. Five minutes later, Pina doubled her side's advantage as Switzerland captain Lia Waelti was dispossessed just outside her own penalty area, and Pina curled a superb shot into the top corner before wheeling away in celebration. The drama continued right to the end, with Spain's Alexia Putellas missing a late penalty and Switzerland's Noelle Maritz shown a straight red card for a stoppage-time challenge. As the Spaniards danced in a circle to celebrate advancing to the last four, the Swiss fans sang loudly in appreciation of the team, and the players bounced together in unison as the hosts exited the tournament with their heads held high having made the knockout stages for the first time.
