Where has Brady been?
He has not been seen on screen in his own independent storyline since the debacle with Ian. And before that, the only stuff he was involved in was the Madison drama and the transfer from Titan to Basic Black.
Has anyone noticed that Brady has not had a stable relationship since his marriage to Chloe? And we all know how that turned out. Drug addiction. Suspected murder. Secret Rehab. Divorce.
And his post-Chloe relationships in the "Eric era" (as opposed to the "Kyle era") have not lasted long enough to count.
There's Ariana Hernandez. She and Brady had a wonderful beginning, but their story ends with Nicole interloping and a secret under-cover drug deal with the cops. They were engaged and were in the middle of eloping when a storm blew in. (literally and figuratively: a rainstorm and Nicole). Unfortunately, his ex-fiance did not live to see the end of that year.
The reason for Brady's distance with Ari was primarily because of Nicole's dramas with EJ and her miscarriage. Being a good friend, Brady always dropped what he was doing to help Nicole. However, to Ariana this was an obsession with his ex that interfered with their relationship. Actually, Brady corrupted his with Ari and Nicole's with EJ. At this time, he helped Nicole with her rouse about hiding the miscarriage, although he certainly opposed it and reproached her often.
After she was released from prison and she discovered his secret about Vivian in the coffin, they began seeing each other again. However, she dumped him like yesterday's trash once EJ offered her a better deal.
Once this storyline was over, Brady really didn't do anything. For the longest time he was simply a background character occasionally having scenes with Melanie or Maggie.
Then, the war erupted between the Kiriakis's and the DiMeras. Here Brady got some screen time. After this was settled, Brady again fell into the background.
Here comes a change with new writers and new location and old characters. His father returned to Salem and he was brought back. Madison James then entered on his radar. Their relationship (buisiness and personal) was scattered over a long period of time. Their scenes only aired occasionally and as one of the "filler" or less important storylines.
Even the drug using storyline was put on the back burner. Those scenes were not as prominent as others.
After Madison's tragic demise at the explosion, Brady is alone again. And he only appears in scenes as a secondary or supplementary character. For example, alongside Daniel, Jennifer, Maggie, Melanie, Nicole, John. The man needs his own storyline (other than his mourning Madison).
What Brady needs is a real woman. A nice, stable, long-term relationship. Maybe he'll get engaged and actually marry her before she dies for once.
Eric is one of the nicest people in real life. He's also ten times more handsome in person! He combines drama with humor. And his delivery is real. Whenever you watch a scene with Brady, you laugh or at least smile. He deserves a good solid storyline. I'm sure that we all wish that we could see him more often.
Let us all hope that once the current ones end, Brady's new storyline will highlight his entertaining and engaging character.
