He was sent to prison after he conspired with Nelle Benson to switch babies after his adoptive son died from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). In prison, he was stabbed and almost died. He was taken to General Hospital to recover and was sent back to prison after a few days.

He was in a relationship with Dr. Lucas Jones. Brad and Lucas were the first gay couple on General Hospital. They got married on July 13, 2016 but Lucas left him after he found out about the baby swap. Lucas later revealed to Dr. Britt Westbourne that the couple had gotten divorced.

Brad made his recent appearance on General Hospital in December of 2021. After a parole hearing, he was granted parole and it was revealed that he will be released in a few days.

Since his return last December, Brad has not made another appearance. It is not yet known when he will return to the show again. Both Parry Shen and the show have yet to make any comments on this matter.
