Ben Hollingsworth has given fans a look at what he loves most about playing Brady on Virgin River.
The actor has been a fan favorite since his debut in Season 1 of the hit Netflix series.
While Brady may have a complicated relationship with some of the people in Virgin River, that is not the case with Hollingsworth and his co-stars.
Ahead of filming for Virgin River Season 8, the Hallmark hunk took to social media to share some behind-the-scenes moments of his favorite things from the Netflix original. It turns out his favorite things are the people he works with on Virgin River.
Hollingsworth posted a carousel of photos from Season 7, which dropped last month, showcasing some special moments and people from the set. Kandyse McClure (Kaia Bryant), Zibby Allen (Brie), Colin Lawrence (John “Preacher” Middleton), Kai Bradbury (Denny), Sarah Dugdale (Lizzie), Marco Grazzini (Mike), as well as stunt doubles and production crew members, were all featured in his social media share.
The photos he picked showcased Kaia and Brady working during a massive wildfire, Brie on a horse, stills from the Virgin River Founders Day episodes, and other moments from the season that meant a lot to Hollingsworth.
“The thing I love is them. #VirginRiver #Netflix #Season7,” he wrote as the caption on his Instagram post.
McClure jumped in the comments to leave several happy face emojis, while Dugdale wrote, “You aced it! 😂🔪.”
Fans also popped up in the comments to share some thoughts and a major question with Hollingsworth. Several fans wondered why there were no shots of Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson).
Others were too focused on the fact that Brady and Brie finally reunited in Season 7. Some fans, though, couldn’t stop sharing their concern for Brady after the Virgin River Season 7 cliffhanger ending.
“Keeping everything crossed that your character is ok for the next series!!!! We need a happy ending for Bree and Brady!!! 😳💖,” said the fan. Another fan added, “U better be aaliveeee, cause the thing we love is you❤️❤️❤️.”
A different fan expressed, “I can’t believe what they did with Brady in the last episode! When I thought they finally will be happy together, come an accident 🫠.”
Hollingsworth spoke out about the cliffhanger ending after the season dropped, admitting he was not only surprised by it but also upset. The actor confirmed he has no idea what happens to Brady.
Season 8 of Virgin River was confirmed long before Season 7 premiered. According to People magazine, the new season is scheduled to start filming later this month and will premiere in 2028.
