Lily Rivera Corinthos - Bradley Ward

Bradley Ward is a fictional character from the original ABC Daytime soap opera General Hospital. The role was originated by Aaron Seville on September 16, 1994 when he began portraying Bradley in flashbacks. Seville last appears on March 18, 1996.

Born in 1945 and raised in Norfolk, Virginia and by his mother, Mary Mae, and stepfather Dan Ward, Bradley died believing he was the biological son of a soldier who died at war. His mother and stepfather moved the family to Port Charles. Bradley married Isobel and together they had two children, Justus (1967) and Faith Ward (1969). The fiery Bradley had been elected to congress and began causing trouble for billionaire Edward Quartermaine and his dirty partner Jack Boland. To get Bradley off their backs, Edward's partners, Lee Baldwin, and Boland dug up some dirt on the young politician and reverend. They had learned that Bradley had had multiple affairs, one with secretary, Elizabeth Jackson and another with the 18 year old daughter of the district attorney, Kylie Quinlan. Kylie carried his baby for a while before she miscarried due to a car accident. But Bradley didn't back off, he came fighting for change. Bradley had also been causing trouble for mob boss Frank Smith who Jack was secretly working with. In the early hours of July 1, 1974, Boland goes to Bradley's house, and kills him. Jack plants the gun in his hand making Mary Mae believe he'd committed suicide. Mary Mae, assuming it was her fault for not telling Edward and Bradley the truth, buries his body in the backyard of their home in Port Charles. In June 1994, his body was discovered and Edward was put on trial for his murder. Mary Mae revealed that Edward was in fact Bradley's father and could have never murdered him.
