Eric and Brandon Billings
  

 

  


Eric Scott and Brandon James Billings started on DAYS in September 1994 when they were 2 1/2 years old. A family friend helped them get into show biz and find an agent, since they are the only actors in their family. They took over the role from Alex, Max and Dash Lucero. For additional info on Brandon and Eric, see their Fascinating Facts section. Their birthdate is January 10th 1992.

*Eric {L} and Brandon {R} are identical twins. They are pretty hard to tell apart. The most definitive way is size. Eric is bigger than Brandon. This picture was taken one year before the boys started on DAYS.
*Brandon {L} and Eric {R} like a lot of the same things, they are very much alike. When not acting, the boys like to play on their trampoline and with their dog, Zack, and their cat named Kitty. They love to go camping and fishing, and play all sports. This pic was taken just after the boys turned 2.
Eric and Brandon's first acting role was on The Young and the Restless on May 31, 1994. Just about a week before the show was filmed, their parents took them to an agency. They were told Y&R wanted a brown haired, blue-eyed boy for taping a week later. They got the role immediately. Brandon was the one who appeared onscreen as John. He's pictured here with the actress who played John's mother.
John {Brandon} was a young boy in need of a heart transplant. He got the heart of Nikki {Melody Thomas Scott} and Jack Abbott's {Peter Bergman, pictured here} dead baby. John and his mom went to Jack's office a year or so later to show Jack how much he'd grown and how well he was doing. Jack had met him as a baby when he received his baby's heart. He was named John after Jack's father.
As Jack was leaving, John's mom thanked him and his wife again for donating their child's organs. As he walked out the door, Brandon said, "Bye." Jack said, "Bye" back to him. The line wasn't scripted, but it seemed to fit well in the scene, so they went ahead and kept it.
This was the first time we saw one of the Billings as Brady. John brought Brady {Brandon} to one of the Horton Center baseball games for visually impaired children.
John was running late because he had been with Tanya, his new girlfriend. Brady {Brandon} was an obstacle in her plan to marry John. She planned to send him off to boarding school as soon as they married. John didn't notice the way Tanya acted around Brady. She obviously disliked children.
Tanya was supposed to be watching Brady {Brandon} at the game. Kristen heard him crying and went and picked him up. He had dropped his ice cream cone and was left all alone. Brandon wasn't acting here. He was already grumpy, and when his ice cream fell off the cone, that was enough to send him into real tears!
Brady {Eric} and John went to Salem Place to buy Brady some new clothes. Brady's ball rolled away and Kristen picked it up. Then Brady wanted Dad to hold it.
Jennifer walked over and chatted with Kristen, John and Brady also. Everyone commented on how big Brady {Eric} was getting.
Brady {Eric} talking to Jennifer and Kristen, John was holding him up and talking for him. Brady said, "Well, Jennifer, I'm just fine. How are you?"
Caroline was taking Brady {Eric} to the doctor for a check-up. John had forgotten about the appointment because he was too busy with Tanya.
John kissed Brady {Eric} goodbye and made a few noises in his ear before he left. Eric seemed to enjoy it.
John was having a bad day, he took Brady {Brandon} for a walk on the pier, he was remembering Isabella and he wished she was still there with them. John and Kristen had also just broken up.
John, Kristen and Brady {Brandon} talking on the pier. John and Kristen were no longer a couple here, because Kristen was with Tony.
Kristen gave Brady {Brandon} a goodbye kiss. She still cared for both Brady and John.
As John stopped to talk with Billie. Brady started eating his pretzels. He even shared a few with his dad. Brandon was very busy eating pretzels. Drake took a few, Brandon didn't mind he just watched.
