She tells him that she discovered that Lark was Jimmy's girlfriend and that the latter was the father of her daughter Hazel. Brady is furious and declares that he is not worthy of love. Brie apologizes for making him doubt himself at the end of their relationship. Brie and Brady kiss and tension builds, until the two end up on the pool table. A spicy scene from season 6 of Virgin Riverbut which almost turned out to be very different. Indeed, the writers had initially planned for this sequence to take place in Brady's bed. Much less sexy, right? Actor Ben Hollingsworth had the idea to spice things up by moving the setting into the bar and onto the pool hall.
Virgin River season 6: this intimate scene was “complicated to turn” for actor Ben Hollingsworth
According to the actor, the director of this episode, Felipe Rodriguez “really wanted to push things hard, because this is a moment that should exude desire. Brie and Brady are magnets, so when you get them close enough, they're going to be irresistibly drawn to each other.” . For Ben Hollingsworth, this scene was “complicated to shoot. Not because of the sexual nature of the scene but because Brady feels very different emotions in a very short time. He is confused, hurt, then feels betrayed, angry, violent, then vulnerable and finally primitive attracted.” It was during an Oscars party that Ben Hollingsworth suggested to the writers that they change the setting for this intimate scene. “What if it happened in the bar?” An idea that they loved and directly submitted to the showrunner of Virgin RiverPatrick Sean Smith.

“It immediately becomes cult because this pool table will always be there in the barunderlined actor Ben Hollingsworth to the American site TV Line. It's always going to represent that moment, it's symbolic of all these things that are happening at that moment.” Not to mention that Jack's bar is a place where everyone in Virgin River gathers and where Brie and Brady obviously spend a lot of time, also with Mike and Lark. “I don't know if you noticed, but there's a scene where Brady sees Brie and Mike at the bar, Brady looks at her, then looks at the pool table,” the actor continued. “It's just a little look, but it will always be something between them.”
