Character Background[]

Born in Norfolk, Virginia and raised by a single mother and his older brother David, Bradley died believing he was the son of a soldier who died at war. His mother, Mary Mae moved her family to Port Charles. Bradley married Isobel and together they had three children, Faith, Justus and another daughter whose name was mentioned. The fiery Bradley had been elected to congress and began causing trouble for billionaire, Edward Quartermaine and his dirty partner Jack Boland. To get Bradley off their back, Edward's partners, Lee Baldwin & Jack dug up some dirt on the young politician and reverend. But Bradley didn't back off, he came fighting for change. Bradley had also been causing trouble for mob boss Frank Smith who Jack was secretly working with. In the early hours of July 1st, 1974 Boland came to Bradley's house, shot & killed him. Jack planeted the gun in his hand making Mary Mae believe he'd committed suicide. Mary Mae, assuming it was her fault for not telling them the truth about Bradley buried his body in the backyard of their home, 24 Royal Street in Port Charles. In June 1994, his body was discovered and Edward was put on trial for his murder. Mary Mae revealed that Edward was in fact Bradley's father and could have never murdered him.
