2. Does She Play Brie in Virgin River?

Absolutely. The character was first introduced in season two and quickly became a series regular. At the time, she was hiding something major from her brother…

Virgin River follows a nurse practitioner named Mel Monroe, who moves to the remote town for a fresh start. Season five picks up right where we left off in the previous installment, with Mel navigating pregnancy.

3. What Happens in Virgin River Season 5?

In the latest season, Brie further explores her love triangle with Brady and Mike (Marco Grazzini). Although she seemingly chose Mike in the season four finale, it’s clear in season five that she still has a soft spot for Brady. Her attention is also focused on the trial, where she testifies against her ex-abuser.
