Is Benjamin Hollingsworth leaving Virgin River? Is Brady dead?
Is Benjamin Hollingsworth leaving Virgin River following the end of the season 7 finale, and have we reached the end of the road when it comes to Brady?
We know that the Netflix drama loves to do their cliffhangers, and they probably felt okay to do this one given that there is more coming for the series down the line. Still, we’ve waited for so long to see Brady and Brie come together and when it happened, there was joy. However, that all came to a quick end with that bike accident, and we are now waiting to see what happens with Brady moving forward into season 8.

Speaking to Deadline, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith talked a little bit about eventually giving us moments for these characters … only for it to then end:
It was more than five minutes, it was a whole episode that they had happiness and joy. I love seeing them back together. Ben and Zibby are so good, and their chemistry is so incredible. When I came in in Season 5, they broke up early on in that season, so I haven’t been with them together as a couple for quite a while — or at all, really. I think there’s a lot to explore still in how Brie has changed as a person over time and looking at their relationship as different because they’re different people.
Smith did not confirm that Brady would survive but at the same time, we’ve yet to hear anything suggesting that Hollingsworth is leaving the show. We are choosing to move into the next season cautiously optimistic, and some of that is just due to there being optimism in Virgin River as a whole. While this is a show where characters (see Mel and Jack) often are forced to jump over a lot of hurdles, at the same time
