Virgin River fans, brace yourselves: Benjamin Hollingsworth, who’s portrayed fan-favorite bad boy Dan Brady since Season 1, is officially turning a new page—both on-screen and off.
In a recent interview following the explosive Season 6 finale, Hollingsworth confirmed that Brady’s dark and brooding days may finally be behind him. After years of criminal entanglements, heartbreak, and redemption arcs, Brady is stepping into something audiences have never seen before: peace, stability… and maybe even a wedding?
“I’ve always loved playing Brady,” Hollingsworth said. “But it’s time for the audience to see there’s more to him than leather jackets and emotional scars.”
BRADY’S TRANSFORMATION — AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR SEASON 7
In the final moments of Season 6, viewers saw Brady take a major leap—leaving behind his ties to criminal connections and embracing a quieter life with Brie (Zibby Allen). But Hollingsworth hints that this evolution wasn’t just character-driven — it was personal.
“We all grow up eventually, right?” he joked. “This season, we’re going to see Brady making real choices for love and legacy.”
The transformation mirrors Hollingsworth’s own journey as an actor, husband, and father of three.
FANS REACT: ‘IS THIS THE SAME BRADY?’
Social media erupted with mixed emotions:
“Bad boy Brady turning into husband material? I’m here for it.”
“He better not lose the edge completely!”
“This is the glow-up we’ve been waiting for!”
#ByeByeBadBoy and #BradyReborn began trending shortly after Hollingsworth’s interview aired.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR HOLLINGSWORTH?
While he isn’t leaving Virgin River, Benjamin says he’s exploring new roles outside the show — including writing, producing, and possibly a limited series based on his own life story.
“I’ve played a bad boy. Now I want to tell stories about the man who comes out on the other side of all that.”
From rebel to role model, Benjamin Hollingsworth is ready for his next act — and fans are watching closely.
