Few relationships on Virgin River spark as much debate as Brady and Brie — and Benjamin Hollingsworth understands exactly why fans can’t let them go. As the series prepares to return in early 2026, the actor describes their bond as “undeniable,” fueled by years of careful storytelling and natural chemistry.
Hollingsworth credits his on-screen connection with Zibby Allen to a shared understanding of their characters from the very beginning. Together, they crafted Brady and Brie as star-crossed lovers, leaning into emotional tension rather than easy resolutions. That slow-burn approach, he says, allowed the relationship to feel authentic, messy, and deeply human.
Season 7 will test that connection more than ever, especially as Brie navigates her complicated future with Mike. Brady, meanwhile, must face the consequences of past mistakes while holding onto the possibility that love hasn’t fully slipped away.
Their story may be fractured, but the spark remains — and fans should brace themselves for more heartache ahead.
