‘Virgin River’ Star Zibby Allen Shares Fun BTS Vid Featuring Co-star Dan Payne on IG

Oh, don’t mind Virgin River stars Zibby Allen (Brie) and Dan Payne (Nate). They’re just having another fun day filming on set—one that involves slow dancing and apparently lifting people off the ground.

On Instagram, Allen posted a behind-the-scenes video where she and her co-star are sharing a slow dance in a ballroom setting. The 41-year-old actress can barely contain her laughter as Payne swings her side to side—and their height difference is on full display. “@actordanpayne is really great at lifting people up,” she wrote in the caption, alongside a bunch of hashtags dedicated to the Netflix show.

Some of her celebrity friends found the video absolutely amusing, with The Good Doctor actress Fiona Gubelmann commenting with a bunch of laughing emojis.

Narcos actor Lenny Jacobson couldn’t take his eyes off her UGG boots, writing, “Honestly it gives everyone a better view of those dope boots.” Their fellow Virgin River castmate, Marco Grazzini (Mike), simply left a laughing emoji in the comments section.

This latest update comes a few weeks after Annette O’Toole (who plays Hope McCrea) posted a snapshot with her two Virgin River co-stars, Sarah Dugdale (Lizzie) and Kai Bradbury (Denny). As they smiled widely for the camera, the trio stood in front of their trailers on set.

Just the update Virgin River fans needed today.
