Eric got to spend some quality
time with his uncle Bo, who told him a story. It was about a
fish that Bo said was "almost as big as you."
Bo turned to Hope and said he
didn't know if Eric liked the story. Bradley didn't show
much emotion about it, but looked up at Kristian as she
responded.
Hope said she did like it,
even if he didn't.
Hope told Bo he was going to
make a wonderful daddy. Bo said, "You bet!"
The Bradys went on a ski trip
in early 1987 shortly after Marlena's "death." Eric got
bundled up for the snow with help from dad.
Bradley seemed a little bored
with the Christmas celebration at the Brady's in 1990.
One of Sami and Eric's
favorite events was "Tag Team Old Maid." They played with
their dad and Isabella and donned poker hats as if they were
betting big money. It was always boys against girls.
Information on Bradley
appeared in the 1992 book The Soap Opera Book: Who's Who
in Daytime Drama by Nancy E. Rout, Ellen Buckley and
Barney M. Rout. Here's the bio they presented for Bradley: A
native of Newport Beach, California, Brad, who has one
sister, Allison, lives in nearby Irvine, where his father,
Scott, owns a coin and jewelry manufacturing business. In
addition to his daytime work, the young actor has also been
seen in television commercials for McDonalds, The Gap, and
many more, and also frequently performs in school plays.
Presently in the fourth grade, Brad is enrolled in the
gifted classes, as well as having held the position of Mayor
in his third grade class. An excellent student, he was the
recipient of "The Golden Pencil Award," and received
honorable mention in the "Invent America" competition.
Equally adept on the playing field, the young actor was
named an all star in two sports, basketball and baseball
(his current team is the angels), and also has played soccer
for the past four years. Away from school and the set, Brad
enjoys gymnastics, collection baseball cards, playing
Nintendo and is a die hard L.A. Lakers/Magic Johnson fan.
Eric was dressed as Joseph for
the Brady grandchildren's performance of the Christmas story
in 1991.
Bradley was part of a very
rare picture. All of the Brady cousins were gathered
together for a picture for the 1992 Days Calendar. Top:

Here's one for DOOL trivia
buffs: What do Michael Sabatino and Bradley Hallock have in
common? Michael's cousin, Cindy Olivier. It seems
Cindy is Bradley's teacher. Bradley's mom uncovered the
uncanny coincidence when she enrolled her son
in school last year. She told the teacher that
her son might miss a few classes because he appeared on a
daytime tv show, Days. Then, Cindy informed
Bradley's mom that her cousin, Michael, was on the same
show. Recently both Michael and Bradley played
host to Cindy when she visited the set on Martin Luther King
Jr. Day (a school holiday), where she watched her cousin
and student at work. {pic
