Virgin River fans have never shied away from shipping their favorite couples, but one romance, in particular, has the fandom on fire again: Brie and Brady. Following the dramatic events of season 6 and a major behind-the-scenes update from star Benjamin Hollingsworth, the buzz surrounding this tangled triangle is bigger than ever — and fans are making it very clear who they want to end up together.
Benjamin Hollingsworth Drops a Filming Bombshell
On the first day of summer, Benjamin Hollingsworth (Brady) took to Instagram to announce that Virgin River season 7 has officially wrapped filming. Sharing a series of sweet selfies with co-stars, he captioned the post:
“First day of Summer and Last day of Filming Season 7 of Virgin River.”
Zibby Allen, who plays Brie, echoed the sentiment with a heartfelt tribute of her own:
“VRS7 wrapped. These lives within these lives…”
Naturally, fans flooded the comments — not just with excitement about the season wrapping, but with renewed hope for their favorite couple.
Fans Want Brie and Brady to Be Endgame
While Brie and Brady’s love story has been anything but smooth, fans are hoping for a happily ever after in season 7. Social media was quickly filled with passionate pleas for the couple to reunite for good:
-
“Can’t wait for Brie & Brady to reunite in Season 7!!! Our favorite ship should be endgame!!!”
-
“Lots of fans hoping for Brie and Brady to get back together.”
-
“Team Brady & Brie forever!”
Even amid the show’s signature emotional twists and romantic complications, viewers seem firmly united: they want to see Brady and Brie back together — for real this time.
Season 6’s Emotional Cliffhanger
In season 6, Brie found herself at the heart of a classic Virgin River love triangle. After breaking up with Brady due to his past mistakes, she began dating Mike — Brady’s old army rival. But just as Mike was preparing to propose, Brie confessed she still had feelings for Brady. The moment left fans reeling — and more invested than ever.
Mike’s proposal at Mel and Jack’s wedding created a jaw-dropping cliffhanger, leaving viewers wondering: Who will Brie choose?
Zibby Allen Weighs In: Head vs. Heart
Actress Zibby Allen recently opened up to Entertainment Weekly about her character’s emotional turmoil:
“It is definitely a battle of head versus heart,” she explained.
“Brie is working hard to trust herself and feel worthy of a love that she can trust. Brady has been untrustworthy in the past, but there’s such a genuine, deep love there.”
She added that while Brady may not “make sense on paper,” the chemistry and passion between them can’t be ignored.
“Not only do they have incredible chemistry — and that just doesn’t go away overnight — but there is a love that doesn’t necessarily make sense on paper. And that is what she’s grappling with.”
By contrast, Mike offers stability and the kind of love that seems safe, even if it lacks the fiery unpredictability of Brady.
“Mike makes sense on paper… That’s also universally relatable. We see it everywhere — in real life and in shows like Love Is Blind. Do we choose the love that feels safe, or the one that sets our soul on fire?”
What’s Next for Brie?
With filming wrapped and post-production underway, season 7 is shaping up to be a dramatic turning point for Brie. Will she follow her heart back to Brady? Or will she commit to a future with Mike, the man who offered her a ring?
One thing is clear: Virgin River fans aren’t done rooting for Brady and Brie — and they’re counting on season 7 to deliver the romantic payoff they’ve been waiting for.
Stay tuned — the love triangle that has everyone talking might just reach its dramatic conclusion this year.
