Sarah Dugdale plays Lizzie on Virgin River, Netflix’s wildly popular dramatic serial based on the books by Robyn Carr. Virgin River follows Mel, a Los Angeles ER nurse who heads to the picturesque North California town of Virgin River after experiencing massive trauma in her life. There, almost despite her best efforts, she finds connection, comfort, and all manner of L-O-V-E with its residents. Season one of Virgin River hit Netflix in December 2019 – and when season two dropped in November 2020, it brought with it the same mix of drama, L-O-V-E, and scenery that made season one so addictive, as well as a new character named Lizzie. Lizzie is Connie’s niece – Connie is played by the inimitable Nicola Cavendish – and she’s sent to Virgin River from LA after getting into a ton of teenage trouble. She’s all attitude – or is she? Because over season two, she forges a deep connection with Ricky, played by Grayson Maxwell Gurnsey, who seems to be everything that Lizzie is not. Ricky sees something in Lizzie that everyone else doesn’t see – and soon enough, these two virgins of Virgin River are virgins no more, and Aunt Connie is none too pleased.

Sarah infuses Lizzie with light, rebelliousness, and nuance – and in this funny and fascinating episode of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast, we find out where Lizzie ends and Sarah begins, where she’d like to go in season three, and why she’s #TeamMel all the way.
