Of course I will always believe Brady belongs with Chloe. Out of all of the choices, Melanie is a definite NO!

I'm not sure I really care who they put him with...he'll play the role and the story to it's fullest and best......BUT with that said, I would much prefer they put him with adults....you know grown ups.....Melanie is not a grown up, in years or mentality....why they keep putting these almost, if not there, thirty-something men with this little girl is beyond me.....must be another one of those fantasies of Corday's (or a writer or producer or someone) that we are unfortunately subjected to.....I think the place is run by a bunch of pervs anyway......I know if I worked in the offices at Days, I wouldn't touch anything, especially if there is a box of kleenex near by, and I'd keep my back to the wall, and I'd never ever sit on a toilet seat....!!!

Ultimately I want Brady with Chloe, but I think they both need to be just friends for now; Chloe needs a friend more than anything else.
But if Broe doesnt happen then definitely NOT Nicole or Melanie; Melanie is far too young and the whole Brady being in love with Nicole is too much of a history re-write for me.

Welcome ana and mackie!
We have never seen this Brady paired with Chloe. I like them both separately and I imagine I would like them together. But first, I need to get over the hope that Chloe and Philip will be united some way some how, and I don't think I'm going to stop hoping any time soon.

For me it's about the characters first and foremost as opposed to the actors who are currently in the roles. Since their first scenes together I felt that Brady and Chloe worked together. Of course actor chemistry comes into it but I have seen enough of Eric's Brady with Nadia's Chloe to be confident that, if the writers stay true to history and the core of the characters, Broe would work again. Thanks for the welcome! |

If Brady and Chloe get together I would still be hoping for PHLOE to be the endgame! |

I have always believed that Chloe and Brady have only worked well together. I have always believed that. I just want them to be given a shot. |

As long as Brady is hanging with Melanie, Chloe will never be in the picture.  |

For me it's about the characters first and foremost as opposed to the actors who are currently in the roles. I think it's admirable that you are able to connect with the character regardless of who plays the role. Wish I could say the same, but I find that I am unable to just see the character without seeing the actor. Different actors put different spins on their character and I never liked either of the Kyles (Lowder or Brandt). Kyle Brandt didn't play my Philip. He was just some bland random forgettable character. And there was something about Kyle Lowder's look that didn't appeal to me. (I will admit that it could be because I was so invested in Phloe that I had a hard time accepting Broe.) However, I find Eric Martsolf's Brady more appealing both in look and in personality. So some recasts work well, in my opinion, and others not so well. |

So some recasts work well, in my opinion, and others not so well. Oh dont get me wrong,of course it matters who the portrayer is/was; I dont expect Belle fans to have taken to Charity Rahmer just cos she was "playing" Belle. But I need the characters to make sense irrespective of actor chemistry. I dont believe in re-writing history in order to put together characters that make no sense just because there may be chemistry between the actors. Personally I think that Trevor St John and Susan Haskell had off the charts chemistry but no way should they ever be put together romantically on OLTL. So to bring it back on topic, I think that Brady and Chloe as characters work (both now and in the past) and I also think that Kyle and Nadia worked together and I suspect from the little I have seen that Eric and Nadia would bring it in spades. I agree that sometimes the chemistry isnt there when a recast happens; I dont think that Jason Cook and Martha Madison had much in the way of chemistry, so yeah it CAN have an impact on enjoyment of a pairing but recasting a role should not mean that character history should be thrown out with the bath water. |

Thanks for the clarification Mackie. Now that Eric is playing an edgier Brady, he is a lot more similar to the Brady that Kyle played. When we met Brady, he had a chip on his shoulder. So does the current Brady. More true to character than the one who would cave into Nicole's requests every time she cried. Even so, I do like Brady and Nicole together.
