R.I.P Brad Carlton



For about the last 25 years Don Diamont has been the reigning hunk of Daytime TV. Those who watch soaps or even those who do not, know Brad Carlton in his early days was often out by the Abbott pool in shorts or a speedo. He seduced most of the women on the show over the past 20 plus years. My favorite of Brad's relationships was with Traci Abbott (Beth Maitland) and the two married and divorced twice.
Brad was buried this week and most of the women from his past gathered to remember him. I have not watched Y and R or any soap for a long time but I do remember fondly watching Don when I was just a kid. It seems like the end of an era. But...for some reason I can't help but feel Brad will be back at some point, despite being found frozen in ice. Thanks to Soaphunks for the video download and some of the pics. Check out Soaphunks for a great tribute to Don and Brad.







One of the most daring and out there storylines for Brad was the one most remember. In the late 80's while still married to Traci, Brad's ex wife Lisa Mansfield kidnaps him and keeps him in a cage. Lisa spent most of her time trying to seduce Brad and of course watching him shower and walk around shirtless.














If you go to Youtube, Soaphunks has added many more scenes of the 'Brad in a Cage's storyline.


And...Just Because I am on 'The Young And The Restless' had to add this pic of Thad Luckinbill from a recent Restless Style feature on The Men We Love.
