Virgin River's Brady thrills Netflix fans with throwback to forgotten role in medical drama
Ben Hollingsworth is known for playing Brady in Netflix's Virgin River, but he's also starred in a forgotten medical drama.
Virgin River fans were delighted when Ben Hollingsworth, known for his role as Daniel Brady in the Netflix series, gave a glimpse into his past role in a lesser-known medical drama.
Ben starred as Dr. Mario Savetti, a first-year resident, in Code Black, which aired on CBS for three seasons from 2015 to 2018.
Yesterday (May 30), Ben took to Instagram to share some photos and reflect on his latest medical journey, as well as his previous role before he became famous on Netflix.
Promoting healthcare company Prenuvo, he shared an extensive update with his 363,000 Instagram followers.
He posted: "Some of you might not know this, but I used to be a doctor... on TV. Naturally, for 3 seasons, I was immersed in the world of medicine."

"Although our stories were heightened, one common theme was that most of our patients ended up in the ER because they ignored something until it became emergent.
"This is called reactive care, and unfortunately, it is all too common in our current healthcare system, leading to poor health outcomes for many diagnosed conditions.
"I've been trying to become more PROactive in my day-to-day life. So, when @nilababy mentioned that @prenuvo offers private full-body MRI scans, I was all in."
He continued to discuss the benefits of the full-body scans, before jokingly adding: "I am now armed with the knowledge I need to advocate for the best care possible. Oh, and did I mention that you can watch Netflix while you're in the MRI machine?".
"So guess what show they put on for me!" he quipped, winking at Virgin River.
Excited fans stormed the Instagram comments section to praise Ben's previous series, Code Black, reports the Mirror US.
One fan gushed: "One of my fave shows. It was such a shame it only had 3 seasons."
Another shared their rewatching experience, writing: "I just re watched Code Black, loved it! Can't believe it only lasted 3 seasons xx."
A third fan recounted a serendipitous moment related to the show, mentioning: "Currently doing a re-watch of Code Black with my husband. Such a great show. Creepily enough I just started a sentence with 'Savertti would...' opened the app and this was the first post I saw. I think that's going to be enough internet for today..."
"Loooved Code Black!" one wrote, as another echoed: "Code Black was so intense, I loved every second of the show!"
Virgin River is available to watch now, exclusively on Netflix. Code Black is available to stream via Amazon Prime Video in the US and via Disney Plus and Paramount Plus in the UK.

Roman Kemp savagely brands Simon Rimmer's Sunday Brunch fish pie 'the worst'
Roman Kemp has claimed that the worst pie he's ever eaten was made by Sunday Brunch presenter and chef Simon Rimmer, but it wasn't actually the star's cooking that was the issue TV host Roman Kemp has opened up about his less-than-pleasant culinary experience on Channel 4's Sunday Brunch, where he was served a fish pie by chef Simon Rimmer. While chewing the fat with singer Tom Grennan, 30, on their podcast Introducing the comfort food chat led Roman, 32, to confess that the most disappointing pie he's ever tasted was one dished out by Simon during the programme – describing it as the 'worst bit of fish pie' he had ever encountered. He explained how despite his affection for both Simon and co-host Tim Lovejoy, eating fish pie at the crack of dawn had put him off, saying: "The only reason why is that, Sunday Brunch, you're there for hours, so long. You're there for long. Love Tim, love Simon, but it's a long show and it's early." Kemp revealed that when pressed for his thoughts on the dish while still reeling from the early hour, he candidly remarked, "It was 8am and I'm trying to stomach this fish pie and they came over and they said 'What do you think?' I hate this, I said, 'I didn't like it'." Roman's startling admission comes after viewers heaped praise on a new change in Sunday Brunch's presenting team. While usually the dynamic duo of Simon and Tim Lovejoy steer the ship, the latter has recently taken a brief hiatus, ushering in TV favourite Vicky Pattison to fill his shoes. Announcing her stint on the show, an excited Vicky shared on Instagram: "I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS! ! ! !". The much-loved presenter shared: "As a long time friend of @sundaybrunchc4 it is an absolute HONOUR to be wearing a slightly different hat this week! I will be joining my good pal @rimmersimon as his co-host while the lovely @timlovejoy_official has a very well deserved break! ! !". She couldn't hide her enthusiasm, as she continued: "I am buzzing like an old fridge to chat to all of our gorgeous guests, eat some delicious food and hopefully give anyone watching and nursing a hangover a bit of light comedy reprieve." Viewers were overjoyed by the news of Vicky stepping in on Sunday Brunch. One fan expressed: "Joke about Vicki all you want, but its good to have some feminine energy co-presenting and female POV on the sofa while chatting with the guests." Another viewer was quick to add: "What a breath of fresh air @VickyPattison is #SundayBrunch," and another praised the change, commenting: "I honestly don't think Tim should go, but having Vicki is a nice change from two bald blokes being blokey and exciting only really by any footie talk #sundaybrunch." Fans can catch the new dynamic duo when Sunday Brunch hits the screens again today (Sunday, June 29) at 10am on Channel 4.

Brooklyn Beckham's decision could leave sister Harper 'devastated' amid family feud
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The Beckham family has been embroiled in a bitter feud after eldest son Brooklyn, 26, allegedly severed ties with his parents and siblings amid an ongoing dispute. Brooklyn has noticeably snubbed his family on social media, recently ignoring his dad David's 50th birthday celebrations and failing to offer congratulations on his knighthood. He also neglected to pay tribute to his parents on Father's Day and Mother's Day. With his sister Harper's 14th birthday looming on July 10, Brooklyn faces a significant decision. A source revealed to MailOnline that Harper would be "devastated" if her brother fails to acknowledge her special day.

The source continued: "He adored her, he hopefully still does, but the problem is that Brooklyn has a track record for ignoring family birthdays now. It would be devastating for Harper not to hear from him. She hasn't done anything and she's only 13-years-old.", reports the Mirror. The family reportedly holds Nicola responsible for the rift, but they remain hopeful that Brooklyn will come to his senses. As Harper doesn't have her own Instagram account, the family typically tags her in their posts using #harperseven. Despite the underlying reasons for the disparity being hush-hush, whispers suggest that Brooklyn's partner, Nicola, aged 30, may be the wedge that has distanced him from his kin. Following the buzz that Nicola might lie at the core of the relational rift, Brooklyn publicly rallied behind his wife on Instagram. He uploaded a fond video to his Instagram with the heartfelt message: "My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you're the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby." (Image: Samir Hussein/WireImage) (Image: instagram) (Image: INSTAGRAM) The lovebirds pledged their commitment in July 2020 and celebrated their union two years on. The couple honoured their heritage with a Jewish ceremony in Palm Beach, Florida, nodding to both Brooklyn's distant Jewish grand-relative and Nicola's father, Nelson Peltz's faith. Nicola has become an integral part of the Beckham clan over time, frequently participating in family gatherings and gracing red carpet spectacles shoulder to shoulder with them. Brooklyn's rapport with his relatives has historically been sturdy, marked by shared vacations and joint festivities at significant events. Memorable is a clip that spread like wildfire across social platforms in 2018, capturing Brooklyn catching his dad off guard to mark his 43rd birthday celebration. David Beckham was taken by surprise at a London eatery when his son Brooklyn swooped in for a warm embrace. Recently flown in from New York, Brooklyn's unexpected appearance on his father's special day led to an emotional reunion of the two. Despite pursuing his craft away from the lens, Brooklyn Beckham hasn't lost touch with family ties as he recently celebrated his grandmother Sandra's 76th birthday. Showing strong affection, he shared a heartfelt message on social media: "Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much." Brooklyn has also become an integral part of wife Nicola's clan, sharing a close bond with her parents Nelson and Claudia. In a show of familial solidarity, Brooklyn extended heartfelt birthday greetings to his billionaire father-in-law Nelson via Instagram just yesterday. While David, Victoria and their trio Harper, Romeo, and Cruz enjoy their abode in Holland Park, London, Brooklyn and Nicola have made LA their home. Observers are keenly watching to see if Brooklyn will publicly celebrate his sister's birthday or if an omission could signify a deepening divide within the family.
