Who is Brandon Walker?

Brandon Walker emerged as a crowd favorite when he came to Sami’s aid after Austin dumped her. The two became closer, which marked the beginning of a new romance. However, this wasn’t an easy relationship for him as her lies often rubbed him the wrong way. He had a fling with Lexie Carver, Abe’s wife, but eventually went back to Sami and decided to marry her.
