Eric and Brandon Billings
  

 

Brady {Brandon} watched as John shot the planes in the air. Brandon must have spotted the boom guy, because he looked up for a long time.
John playing with Brady {Brandon} the day after Christmas 1994. It seemed that John was having almost as much fun as Brady.
Brady {Brandon} watched his nanny, Hope/Gina carefully as she talked to John about her missing past.
Brady and Hope. This was during the time that Hope thought she was Gina. John hired Hope/Gina as Brady {Eric} and Belle's nanny.
Brady {Brandon} and Belle were playing at Marlena's. Brady was having lots of fun with Marlena.
Brady and his gator. Deidre was holding the gator, but Brandon took the gator and said "mine." Then he hugged it tight. It might have really been Brandon's gator. Often the producers let the kids bring their own toys onstage.
Eric Billings looking as cute as ever.
In 1995, Brandon and Eric filmed a role in the NBC miniseries Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor Story. They appeared onscreen as Liz's first son, Michael Wilding, Jr. when the miniseries aired in late May. Liz was played by Sherilyn Fenn.
The first time we saw one of the Billings was in the background of this scene as Liz's son played on the floor.
Liz and her husband didn't spend much time with their son, Michael, Jr. We only saw the Billings onscreen three times as Michael and each time his parents barely paid attention to the boy. Here, he played with his toy gun while his dad, spoke to Liz on the phone from a location shoot.
Michael {Brandon} and his younger brother, Chris came outside to say goodnight to his mom. He was in his cowboy pajamas, with his hat and gun.
During the possession, Kristen spent a lot of time with Brady. As Kristen and John talked about Marlena, Brandon was doing something with his hands. He only looked up for a second.
These pictures were taken right after the possession storyline ended. Isabella appeared to John and Brady {Eric} as an angel. Isabella to John: "Last time I held this hand, it was so tiny".
John told Isabella that Brady {Eric} loved to hear the angel story. He tells it to him every Christmas, when they put the angel on the Christmas tree.
The Angel Story: Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom God's love commits me here. Ever this day, be at my side. To light and guard, rule and guide. Pictured: Eric as Brady.
John to Isabella: "This little guy {Eric} needs his mommy, so much. We both need you so much. Please stay with us."
Beginning in the fall of 1995, Eric and Brandon appeared in the FOX series, Strange Luck which starred D.B. Sweeney as Chance Harper. The boys played Chance as a young boy. In the series, Chance experiences unusual fortune since surviving a childhood plane crash. As an adult, he uses his mysterious relationship with Lady Luck to help others.
Eric and Brandon were seen fairly often in flashbacks of Chance as a young boy. In this episode, "Brothers Grim" (12/29/95), Chance came face to face with his missing brother, Eric. Chance had believed that he was the only survivor of the crash. He had been adopted by the Harper family and was named "Chance" because of his luck. His given name was Alex. Pictured: Chance (L), Eric (R)
*Eric performed in the majority of the episodes that the boys appeared in. Eric is pictured here with D.B. Sweeney on the set of "Strange Luck" in Vancouver.
John thanked Stefano for flying Chelsea, Brady {Brandon} and Belle to Aremid for Christmas 1995. This was the first time we heard Brady talk. He said "Thank you," to Stefano. Eric and Brandon typically learn their lines by practicing with their mom and dad. They are always eager to learn their lines.
John talked to Marlena about how great it was to see the kids. Brady {Brandon} was playing with a little stuffed Santa that he held real tight.
Brady got a baseball for Christmas. John was helping him work on his throwing arm.
John, Marlena, Belle and Brady spent some time on the ice in Aremid. Belle was held the whole time, but Brady {Eric} got a ride around the lake on a sled. He seemed to enjoy it.
