Virgin River star Martin Henderson has opened up about a recent health scare that temporarily put his career on pause — and left him deeply grateful to still be standing. The actor, best known to fans as Jack Sheridan, revealed the ordeal during an Instagram Q&A alongside co-star Alexandra Breckenridge.
Henderson explained that the issue forced him to cancel a planned live autograph signing event in October, apologizing directly to fans for the sudden postponement. While he didn’t go into medical specifics, his words carried weight. “It was scary,” he admitted, describing the past few months as intense and emotionally draining.
Breckenridge quickly reassured fans, emphasizing that Henderson’s recovery is going well. Henderson echoed her optimism, crediting skilled doctors and surgeons for a positive outcome — at least for now. “It’s good to still be here,” he said candidly.
Though he’s still processing the experience, Henderson hinted that he may speak more openly about it in the future. For now, fans can take comfort in seeing him back on screen and preparing to return for Virgin River season six.
