*Warning: This article contains spoilers for Virgin River.*
As Virgin River prepares for its return on December 19, the show’s loyal fanbase has been vocal about their support for one character in particular from the Netflix hit series.
Labelled by many as the show’s “hottest character”, who competes with Martin Henderson’s role as Jack Sheridan, Dan Brady (Ben Hollingsworth), has won the audience’s defence.
Enthusiasts of Virgin River believe that Brady “deserves happiness” and some are even championing for his pairing with Brie Sheridan (Zibby Allen), despite her current romance with Mike Valenzuela (Marco Grazzini).
The official Instagram page for Virgin River posted a promotional image showing a close-up of Brady alongside the caption: “No fire is hotter than our very own Brady.”
In the comments, fans shared their aspirations for Brady’s story arc, while others eagerly anticipated the show’s comeback, reports the Mirror US.
A viewer confessed: “I admit he didn’t appeal to me in season 1, but I fell for him with Brie.”
Echoing the sentiment, another fan declared: “Best guy for Brie, so handsome.” And another added: “He’s come a long way… Brady and Brie [flame emojis].”
Another admirer weighed in, saying: “Best looking guy on the show.”
One follower put forth a plea: “Please give Brady more screen time. One of the most underutilized actors on the show.”
Supporting the sentiments expressed, another joined in: “I mean… Yes Mel and Jack are hot but Brady and Brie… Make me want to meet my husband immediately.” (sic)
“They better get back together! Please I’m begging,” one fan insisted, while another commented: “I hope that Brady and Brie will get back together.”
Another fan pleaded: “Truly wish they’d stop making him a scapegoat for bad guys. He needs better storylines.”
Yet another viewer wrote: “I sure hope him and Brie will get back together. Also, I hope that he will not get hurt or anything else since he’s involved with Lark and as it happens, she cannot be trusted.”
One more chimed in: “Team Brady, hope that he will get back together with Brie. He always had good intentions!”
Soon, viewers will discover if Brady and Brie can rekindle their relationship – and the moment is bound to be dramatic if they do.
Virgin River season 6 will premiere Thursday, December 19 on Netflix.
