General Hospital: A recap of Brad Cooper’s journey
Brad Cooper on General Hospital was introduced as a lab technician and quickly became well-known at the hospital when he was promoted to lab manager in 2013. This promotion caused some people to question whether it was because of his relationship with Dr. Britt Westbourne, who was involved in many dishonest activities herself.
As Britt's partner in crime, Brad helped her pretend that her pregnancy with Patrick Drake's child had problems, which made him both suspicious and powerful at the hospital.
Initially, Brad liked Michael Corinthos, but it wasn’t the other way around, following which Brad got into a relationship with nurse Felix DuBois, which had its ups and downs. Brad had a hard time balancing his involvement in Britt’s plan and looking for a perfect love life.
Even though Brad tried to make things work with Felix, his lies about Britt's son being Dante and Lulu's real child caused problems between them. Ultimately, Brad found a steady relationship with Lucas Jones.
Their relationship had many ups and downs, like Brad's hidden marriage to Rosalie Martinez and the baby swap by Nelle Hayes. The character ultimately left the town of Port Charles in 2022, following the baby switch plotline.
Fans of General Hospital can watch the new episodes of the show on ABC and Hulu.
