to life Virgin River stars Zibby Allen and Ben Hollingsworth have been singing

praises about their on-screen chemistry after working together for several years. Known for their roles as Brie Sheridan and Dan Brady, the pair recently appeared on the I Like You Very Much podcast. “Your level of dedication to the work is really impressive and I love it of course objectively, and then I appreciate it because I get to benefit as your scene partner,” Zibby began, who co-hosts the podcast with Mel Monroe actress Alex Breckenridge.

Ben responded, “We connected I think pretty quickly, which is important I think for Brady and Brie because [in] the storyline it’s what happens – an instant connection and that spark really carried itself through.” He continued, explaining how they meticulously crafted their characters’ arc and had to “fight for” their chemistry.

“[There were] a lot of different storylines that were funnelling through in season 3 and some of them [in season] 4, and some of them were a little confusing for us. “But we took the time to kind of fight for it and make it the best we could and I think, you know, obviously I owe a lot of that to you too,” he added. Earlier this year, Allen confessed that filming Brie and Brady’s intense dance scene in season 3 left her feeling nervous and sweaty.
