Virgin River season five is on the way to Netflix and the hit series has included plenty of shocking moments so far. Denny (played by Kai Bradbury) was introduced as the grandson of Doc Mullins (Tim Matheson) and people were suspicious of him. At the end of season four, he revealed he had terminal Huntington’s Disease, and Kai spoke to Express.co.uk about what is next for him.
Virgin River viewers were excited to find out about Doc’s relationship history in the fourth season.
He found out his girlfriend from his college days had been pregnant when she left him.
She gave birth to a son, who was Denny’s father, but he died shortly before Denny came to Virgin River.
By the end of the season, Denny revealed why he was being so secretive, as he had Huntington’s Disease.
Actor Kai said this storyline would continue into the fifth season and could have repercussions.

He said: “I really enjoyed being a mysterious character, in my early meetings about the role, I was aware of the secret diagnosis that was to be the season’s cliffhanger ending.
“I learned later that most of the cast was not in the know! When it comes to the twists and turns, I wasn’t told the specifics so it was nice to read each incoming script and watch it all unfold.
“I am thrilled to be back in production for season five, the whispers about a next-level season might just be true.
“Though I can’t say anything about what Denny’s up to next, I can hint that we might get to dig a little deeper into who he is now that his secret is out to some.”
Denny may be put in a fight or flight situation now his health diagnosis is out in the open.

Yet Denny may feel he has ruined his chances of connecting with anyone as he deceived them for so long.
He did not open up to Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale) until the last minute and he feels guilty about avoiding the subject of a relationship with her.
Denny could feel Virgin River would be better off without him and reverse his steps.
A search party led by Doc and Lizzie could be sent out to track the youngster down, as he is certainly vulnerable.
The star paid tribute to his co-stars Tim and Sarah, saying: “Coming in to play Doc’s grandson, I was particularly looking forward to working with Tim Matheson and exploring what our dynamic might be as actors and as characters.
“Shooting the hiking scenes with Sarah Dugdale stands out to me. We were shooting under beautiful towering trees and weaving between them, lining up with all the cameras was a wonderful challenge.”

On what was most challenging about playing the role, he said: “It was difficult to play a truly genuine person who was essentially lying to everyone in many ways.
“Denny spends most of the season concealing the truth in order to protect the relationships around him. He’s dealing with depression and major problems of his own and so he’s having to put on a brave face and hide behind a bit of a mask.”
He said he would love to see Denny and Lizzie’s relationship develop in season five, as well as Denny’s relationship with Doc.
“After the way they left things off in the finale, I imagine those two have lots to talk about,” he said of Lizzie.
He added: “Aside from the other characters Denny has yet to get to know, I’m really loving the new family dynamic that Doc, Hope and Denny are developing.
“I’m very close to my own grandparents and it warms me to see the three of them navigate each other and grow as a unit.”
Virgin River is on Netflix now, with season 5 in the making.
