Character history
Brad is an executive at Newman Enterprises and currently married to Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle).
He was first introduced as the Abbotts' pool boy, but caught the eye of the youngest Abbott daughter, Traci (Beth Maitland). The two married, but while the marriage produced a daughter, Colleen (Adrianne Leon), it did not last long. Brad went on to marry Cassandra Rawlins (Nina Arvesen); then the psychotic Lisa Mansfield (Lynne Harbaugh); and eventually Traci's sister Ashley (Eileen Davidson), with whom he has an adoptive daughter, Abby (Darcy Rose Byrnes); before marrying Victoria in April 2006.
Known as a "playboy" and often referred to as a "gigolo", Brad has also had flings with Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman), Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), Diane Jenkins (Alex Donnelley) and Olivia Winters (Tonya Lee Williams), and was briefly engaged to Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott).
Brad's rivalries with Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) and Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) have been key plot elements over the years. Brad's anger boiled over in 2005 when Jack refused to instate him as CEO of Jabot. Brad stormed out of the office and soon took a job at Newman.
In 2006, Brad married Victor's daughter, Victoria, to her father's anger. Meanwhile, Brad continues to fight his feelings for Victoria's ex-sister-in-law, Sharon (actress Sharon Case).
Upon Victor's initiation of a background check on Brad, it was discovered (after almost twenty years of being on the show) that Carlton was not who he had initially claimed to be. Brad's real name is George Kaplan, and he assumed the identity of a friend who died in an accident in order to hide from the people who killed his family. The current story arc involving Brad/George has his past catching up with him, as his mother, Rebecca Kaplan (Lorna Raver), has to help find an artifact that was stolen from its rightful owners by the Nazis, who had put Rebecca to work in a concentration camp cataloging stolen art. Victoria became pregnant with his child but lost it shortly thereafter. Brad and Victoria are now filing for divorce. Victoria recently discovered that she is pregnant again, but the father could be either Brad or J.T. Hellstrom (Thad Luckinbill), with whom she is now living.
