‘Virgin River’ Stars Annette O’Toole & Tim Matheson Played a Married Couple on a Show in the ’70s

“I met him when he did a movie [Almost Summer] with my then boyfriend Bruno Kirby, and that’s when we first met,” she told PureWow. “And then I did a television show called What Really Happened to the Class of ’65?, which was based on this book. So, we played a young married couple.”

Their on-screen run-ins didn’t stop there. O’Toole added, “Right after I had my first daughter, we did a show together called The Best Legs in Eighth Grade, which was sort of like an hour-long kind of play for television.”

She continued, “We have a lovely relationship. It’s really great to work with him and to be directed by him as well.” (FYI, Matheson has directed four episodes of Virgin River.)

Fingers crossed for more Doc and Hope in Virgin River season 4.
