Virgin River fans may be facing a long wait until Season 7 arrives in March 2026, but thanks to Benjamin Hollingsworth, there’s a fun way to reconnect with the beloved on-again,
off-again couple, Brady and Brie. The actor, who plays Brady, recently stopped by Swooon’s studio for a charming and revealing quiz that tested just how well he remembers the twists,
turns, and intimate details of his character’s relationship with Brie. What resulted was equal parts adorable, revealing, and surprisingly emotional.

A Quiz That Hits Close to Home
The setup was simple: Hollingsworth would answer a series of questions about his character’s romantic life, Brady, and his love interest, Brie. Fans watching along couldn’t help but root for him as he navigated the nuances of the couple’s complex relationship — the highs, the lows, and all the little quirks that have made their love story so compelling.
The first question instantly set the tone. He was asked Brie’s go-to drink order. Hollingsworth confidently guessed beer, then quickly revised to martini, before chuckling and admitting, “I’m such a bad boyfriend.” The correct answer, of course, is Brie’s signature whiskey sour, and the lighthearted stumble was a reminder that even the actors sometimes forget the small but significant details of their characters’ lives. Fans immediately adored his honesty — it was endearing rather than embarrassing.
Redeeming Himself in Style
After the whiskey sour moment, Hollingsworth redeemed himself with a series of impressive answers. He correctly recalled that Brie initiated their first kiss, a pivotal moment in their storyline that marked the start of their romantic journey. He also remembered Brady’s motorcycle type, demonstrating that while he might forget a drink order, the character’s defining traits remain ingrained in his mind.
Then came the big reveal about Brie’s favorite movie: Legally Blonde. Hollingsworth nailed it immediately, showcasing his attention to the personality quirks and tastes that define Brie. When asked about Brady’s favorite film, The Sting, he hesitated — a small slip, but fans were more than willing to forgive it, noting that sometimes even the actors get tangled in the timelines and details of long-running series.
A Walk Down Memory Lane: Emotional Brady Moments
What made the quiz more than just a fun exercise was Hollingsworth’s reflection on one of Brady’s most emotional moments: his heartfelt confession of love to Brie during Mel and Jack’s wedding. The scene, which had fans on the edge of their seats, was a culmination of years of tension, longing, and near-misses in the couple’s relationship.
Hollingsworth admitted, “It’s one of the most beautifully written scenes I’ve ever done.” He elaborated that filming it felt like “six years in the making,” giving him the opportunity to finally vocalize the emotions Brady had been holding back for so long. The confession wasn’t just a pivotal plot point; it was a cathartic moment for the actor as well, highlighting the depth and commitment required to bring such intricate emotional layers to life on screen.
The On-Set Chemistry Still Shines
Even though the quiz was playful, it revealed that the chemistry between Brady and Brie isn’t just for the cameras — it’s something Hollingsworth genuinely understands and appreciates. He laughed, reminisced, and even teased a few memories from behind the scenes that fans rarely get to hear. The mix of humor, nostalgia, and affection made the quiz feel like a private look into the lives of the characters and the actors who portray them.
For fans eagerly awaiting Season 7, this kind of interaction is a treat. It keeps the love story alive during the hiatus, reminding viewers why Brady and Brie have become such central figures in Virgin River.
Speculation Ahead of Season 7
With the quiz complete, fans couldn’t help but wonder: what’s next for Brady and Brie? Season 6 ended on a note that left their future uncertain, with plenty of room for romantic rekindling, tension, and character growth. While Hollingsworth didn’t reveal any spoilers, his comfort and familiarity with the storyline suggest that when the show returns, Brady and Brie’s relationship will continue to be a highlight.
Social media exploded after the quiz aired, with fans sharing clips, screenshots, and commentary. Many highlighted how heartwarming it was to see an actor so intimately connected with the character’s journey, and how the playful tone of the quiz reflected the joy and charm of the Virgin River universe itself.
Why This Matters to Fans
The quiz may have been lighthearted, but it underscored a deeper truth: actors like Hollingsworth aren’t just performing scripted lines — they live and breathe these characters, understanding the emotional stakes and dynamics that make Virgin River resonate with audiences.
For fans who have followed Brady and Brie from their first hesitant encounters to their complicated, deeply emotional moments, seeing Hollingsworth so engaged offers reassurance. It confirms that the heart of the story — love, loyalty, and the challenges of small-town life — is in capable hands as the series moves forward.
Keeping the Spark Alive
Until Season 7 premieres in March 2026, moments like this quiz keep the Brady-and-Brie flame burning. They provide fans with laughter, nostalgia, and an intimate connection to the characters’ journey. Hollingsworth’s playful admissions and emotional reflections bridge the gap between the seasons, reminding viewers why they fell in love with these characters in the first place.
The quiz also highlights the importance of the couple’s story within the broader Virgin River narrative. Brady and Brie’s relationship isn’t just a romantic subplot — it represents growth, vulnerability, and the complexities of balancing love with life’s challenges. Each recall of favorite movies, first kisses, and heartfelt confessions reinforces how these small moments contribute to the larger emotional tapestry of the series.
Final Thoughts: Adorable, Heartfelt, and Promising
Benjamin Hollingsworth’s Virgin River quiz was more than just a fun diversion for fans awaiting Season 7 — it was a window into the soul of the show. From playful missteps over drink orders to profound reflections on love confessions, the actor demonstrated a deep understanding of both his character and the beloved narrative of Brady and Brie.
While fans will need to wait until March 2026 to see what happens next, this quiz proves that the spark between Brady and Brie — and Hollingsworth’s connection to that story — hasn’t dimmed.
