Virgin River viewers are already convinced they know how Brie Sheridan’s new fiance Mike knows she has recently slept with her ex Dan Brady after a mind-blowing proposal.

Virgin River viewers are eagerly speculating about the upcoming dramatic season of the small-town drama, with one theory sparking a strong reaction.

Season six of the popular Netflix series concluded with Mel Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) exchanging vows in a picturesque ceremony, amidst a backdrop of explosive revelations.

Meanwhile, Dan Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) and Brie Sheridan’s (Zibby Allen) complicated storylines continued to captivate audiences, as Brady discovered his new flame Lark (Elise Gatien) was running a scam. This led to a clandestine encounter with Brie, and when Lark overheard Brady confess his love for Brie at the wedding, she absconded with his savings, despite earlier claims of genuine feelings.

Additionally, Brie’s new partner Mike (Marco Grazzini) stunned everyone with a romantic proposal, despite seemingly being aware of Brie’s recent infidelity with her ex.

As millions of fans anxiously await Brie’s response and the truth about Mike’s knowledge, a Reddit user has proposed a surprisingly straightforward explanation for Mike’s proposal.

“I have a hunch about Mike’s proposal and why he said he knew about Brie and Brady….”, their post bega, reports the Mirror US.

The avid Virgin River viewer speculated: “I know nobody’s gonna agree and I’m probably wrong, but VR is known for hyping something up for a cliffhanger only to kinda disappoint us when the next season comes out.

“I think it’s gonna be a twist where he says ‘I know, I know you slept with Brady before we got together. I don’t hold that against you, him and I are on better terms now’. Idk some stupid bologna like that.”

The question arises – could Mike actually be alluding to Brie and Brady’s past fling?

A portion of the fanbase firmly believes this theory holds water, though they’re far from thrilled about such a turn.

Reacting to the speculation, one commenter added their two cents: “Oh my god. I could totally see this, it’s not even real yet and I’m already annoyed by it lol. Good theory.”

Echoing similar sentiments, another chimed in: “I thought/think that too!! But then I go back to how he knew her parents were sleeping together before he actually caught them so I’m like ehhh we’ll see!”

A third individial voiced their certainty: “No waaaaaayyy. I am sure they will do this now.

“Whatever, as long as they break up and she gets with Brady but I’m also sure they will drag this engagement for a long a** time, only to leave Mike at the altar or sth.”

However, there are those Virgin River enthusiasts who aren’t sold on the theory, with a user counter-arguing: “They’ve been seeding him knowing for a few episodes though, especially when he called out her parents before they got caught.

“I think it will be an ‘I know but give me a chance, I won’t disappoint you like Brady blah blah blah’ and then she chooses to be alone and ‘find herself’.”

Notions buzz on whether Mike is valiantly navigating the waves of his girlfriend’s romantic history or whether he’s attempting to anchor Brie amidst revelations of her recent infidelity.

Alas, eager fans must bite their nails in anticipation until season seven finally divulges the sought-after truths.

Virgin River is available to stream on Netflix.
