Brady and Brie’s future looks bleak after Virgin River Season 6

It’s the question all Virgin River fans have been asking – will Brady and Brie get back together? All evidence suggests yes – here’s why.

Brady (Ben Hollingsworth) and Brie (Zibby Allen) first met in Season 3 of Virgin River, and it’s safe to say their relationship has been somewhat tumultuous ever since.

There were ups, and downs, and more ups, and more down, until the couple broke up during Season 5. They are both in separate relationships now, but something in the new TV show is pulling them back together.

Really, neither seems to have moved on. But is there any chance they will rekindle their love? Warning: spoilers ahead!

Will Brady and Brie get back together in Virgin River?

Technically, they sort of did. Brie and Brady hooked up in Season 6 Episode 5, but the pair aren’t officially in a relationship. With Mike now proposing to Brie, the chances of them getting back together look slim.

As we’ve touched on, Brady and Brie have been in separate relationships this season – Brie with cop Mike and Brady with mysterious newcomer Lark. While Mike’s only crime is being a tad too safe, Lark tries to set Brady up to steal his insurance money for Jimmy.

If Episode 10 is anything to go by, it’s worked. Brady is left with no girlfriend and a completely empty bank account. At exactly the same time, Mike asks Brie to marry him. Brie reveals she slept with Brady earlier in the season, to which Mike says he knows.

Earlier that day at Mel and Jack’s wedding, Brady said he’s still in love with Brie and has been since the moment they met. He says he would lie in order to protect her all over again “in a heartbeat” – with Lark overhearing the entire conversation.

This comes after Brie drunk-texted Brady at Mel’s bachelorette to say she couldn’t stop thinking about him as well as their tryst. Basically, it’s all one big chaotic mess.

What happens next completely depends on whether Brie accepts Mike’s offer, or whether they go their separate ways. Brady is now technically single, so who knows what acts of love might be declared in Season 7?

Their reunion is something fans are desperate for

As expected, plenty of Virgin River fans thought the inevitable would happen way before any Season 6 details were speculated.

“Who’s willing to bet that Lark falls in love with Brady despite whatever scheme she has cooking with that inmate dude? Then, Mike finds out and arrests her and all is ruined. Brady ends up with no one because in Brie’s eyes, perpetual f*ckup. Mel and Jack adopt Hazel so they don’t have to go through another miscarriage. All of this happens in the span of 3 days in Virgin River la la land, but like 14 years for us. The end,” one fan posted on Reddit.

“I think Brie and Brady will share an undeniable moment and/or kiss, she will be forced to break it off with Mike. Their chemistry is second to none!” another suggested.

Regardless of where Lark’s scheme is heading, many fans agree that it’s the perfect moment for Brady and Brie to get back together.

“After a short-lived dalliance with the “nice guy” Mike, Brie will return to bad boy Brady, and personally, I’m here for it,” one Reddit user shared in their Virgin River Season 6 predictions.

“I think the Lark/Jimmy setup is ultimately going to result in Brady and Brie getting back together. The writers teased it quite a bit in the two holiday episodes IMO. Feelings and chemistry is still there 100%,” another fan weighed in.

Where does this leave Mike?

Honestly, we’re none the wiser. If Mike and Brie go their separate ways, he could be written out of the series for good. Having said that, fans aren’t happy he’s being phased out.

Am I the only one who loves Mike and Brie?” one fan replied to Brady-Brie content, with another agreeing, “Noooo, we want Brie and Mike!”

“Team Mike and Brie. Too much straying from the books,” a third weighed in.

If you’ve read the original Virgin River book series, you’ll know Whispering Rock is essentially dedicated to their romance. As the synopsis explains, “Mike will do anything to help Brie free herself from painful memories. Passionate, strong, and gentle, he vows to give back to her what she’s so selflessly given him – her heart, and with it, a new beginning.”

This comes with a great deal of backstory we’ve barely touched on in the TV series, and fans are getting impatient for it.

“It sort of seems like the writers are trying SO hard to be different from the books? Idk. I like Mike and Brie better! I really liked Lark and Brady until the S5 finale,” one fan posted on Reddit.

“I’ve never read the books but I feel like in the show we know nothing about Mike other than he’s a cop. I thought he and Brie were cute when they had them working together and then that plot just stopped. We’ve seen her spend way more time with Brady than Mike at this point and we know way more about Brady’s backstory.”

Virgin River Season 6 arrives on Netflix on December 19. In the meantime, check out other Season 6 storylines, if there will be a time jump, and more similar shows to watch while you wait.
