Virgin River star Colin Lawrence left fans a little worried after sharing a behind-the-scenes video from filming his "last scene" with his co-star Kandyse McClure in season five.
Taking to Instagram, the actor, who plays Preacher in the popular Netflix series, shared a throwback clip from the set of season five, which saw Kandyse join as a newcomer Kaia Bryant, who strikes up a romance with Preacher.
Addressing fans, Colin said: "Hey y'all, it's me again. This is season five, Virgin River and this would be the last scene of Virgin River with Preacher and the lovely Kandyse McClure."
Appearing in the frame, Kandyse said: "That's it, awh."
Colin added: "You're going to love what you see and you're going to love her even more."

Virgin River is not Virgin River without you... you are not allowed to leave the series...why do you want to leave the series?" while another remarked: "I know you have to stay on, you're a big part of the show."
A third person questioned: "Wait, why is it the 'last' scene???? Are they not end game???" while another commented: "U have to stay Preacher, you're too sweet."

Despite fans' concerns, Colin was most likely referencing his last season five scene rather than his final scene on the show. While there's no reason to suspect he's leaving the drama, executive producer Patrick Sean Smith previously said fans should be worried for Preacher in part two.
In a recent interview with Glamour, Patrick, who joined as the new showrunner for season five, admitted that writers are often keen to "take your most beloved characters and put them in danger".

Fans will remember that back in season two, Preacher's ex-girlfriend Paige accidentally killed her abusive husband Wes, and asked the barman to help her bury the body.

When asked if fans should be concerned for Preacher in the upcoming festive episodes, Patrick said: "I would be worried. He's a beloved character. You always want to take your most beloved characters and put them in danger."

When we were coming up with the character of Kaia and getting a sense of what their dynamic would be and who she was and what could affect them, it would have to be something big."
Patrick also teased a conclusion to the storyline. "We will get resolution as far as what this means for Preacher and get a sense of how complicated this will be for his relationship with Kaia," he explained.
Season five part two arrives on Netflix on November 30.
