Motorcycle Sex Scene Left Virgin River Actor Sore for Weeks

Ben Hollingsworth, the actor portraying Brady in Virgin River, has shared insights into a particularly memorable and physically demanding intimate scene from the series. He described the on-again, off-again relationship between Brady and Brie (Zibby Allen) as possessing a 'raw sexy' spontaneity that distinguishes it from other couples on the show.

The scene, which took place at the end of the ninth episode of the latest season, featured Brady and Brie engaging in sexual activity atop Brady's motorcycle. This followed an emotional confession of love, fulfilling long-standing fan speculation about their relationship.

Hollingsworth recounted the physical toll the scene took, stating, "The human body is not meant to have sex on a motorcycle." He experienced considerable back pain for weeks due to the awkward positioning, which he humorously noted might have translated as pleasure on screen.

Despite the discomfort, Hollingsworth felt the scene was earned and emotionally fulfilling for both the characters and the audience. He also addressed the cliffhanger ending of season 7, where Brady was involved in a motorcycle crash. While he knows Brady's fate, he cannot disclose whether the character survives.
