Benjamin Hollingsworth can't wait for Virgin River fans to meet a brand-new Brady!

While speaking during a Christmas Con panel moderated by PEOPLE's Breanne L. Heldman, the actor, 40, teased what fans could expect from his character in Virgin River's highly anticipated sixth season.

"This season, Brady is a volunteer firefighter," he mused, adding that fans will see him in a special uniform. "He's kind of like Brady 2.0 so a little less bad boyish, although he's still a bad boy."

In addition to Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack’s (Martin Henderson) romantic springtime wedding, season six also "promises fresh twists and turns, escalating love triangles, delightful wedding drama, as well as uncovered secrets from Mel’s father’s past which will transport us to the magic and mystique of Virgin River in the 1970s."

Season 5 had been the most drama-packed season yet with tragedies hitting Virgin River, including a devastating wildfire and Mel and Jack suffering a miscarriage, along with the reveal of Mel's biological father's identity.

"Babies and wedding bells are never off the table on Virgin River," Smith teased.
