For Zibby Allen, the strength of Brie Sheridan’s journey lies in its realism. She and co-star Benjamin Hollingsworth may root for Brie and Brady, but neither believes their characters’ story should be neatly resolved. “They’re human beings with real things to work through,” Allen explains.
Season 7 will deepen Brie’s evolution, highlighting her growing tendency to fight for others — even when it costs her emotionally. That “Sheridan hero complex” fuels her compassion, but also complicates her romantic decisions.
Rather than rushing toward a definitive ending, the writers continue to explore love as something earned through patience, accountability, and healing. Brie’s story isn’t about choosing the easy path — it’s about choosing growth. When Virgin River returns in 2026, her journey promises to remain honest, imperfect, and deeply human.
