BENJAMIN HOLLINGSWORTH GIVES US THE SCOOP ON SEASON SEVEN OF THE HIT SERIES, VIRGIN RIVER

O.G. Virgin River bad-boy Brady has turned over a new leaf and that’s just fine with series star, Benjamin Hollinswroth who has been playing him since the very first Season.

Season 7 of Virgin River picks up just hours after the Season 6 finale, shifting focus from Jack and Mel’s much anticipated wedding celebration to the complexities of married life, parenthood, and new town-wide threats.

Now married and living on the farm, the couple navigates their "honeymoon phase" while pursuing their dream of parenthood. They are actively exploring the potential adoption of a baby from Marley, a young pregnant woman introduced in Season 6.

Season 7 also focuses on Brady, played since day one by Vancouver based actor Benjamin Hollinsworth. Despite Mike's proposal, the romantic tension between Brie (Zibby Allen) and Brady remains a major factor. Meanwhile, Brady must deal with the fallout of being conned by Lark, who emptied his bank account before fleeing.

Brady has changed a lot since we first met him back in 2019 when the series first dropped on Netflix. Hollingsworth has enjoyed playing a character with such a dramatic arc who has faced many challenges.

Other story lines explored in Season 7, Doc Mullins faces a major professional threat as his medical license is suspended pending an investigation by the state board. This investigation is spurred by Grace Valley Hospital, which seeks to take over the clinic and push Doc out.

Jack discovers Charmaine’s home ransacked and finds a shocking scene in the twins' nursery. While the showrunner confirms the twins are safe, Charmaine's own fate remains a central cliffhanger.
