  Brad is Missing!

Last week, Sharon rejected Brad's plea for a relationship. This week, he leaves the Abbott cabin and heads out into a dangerous blizzard. When Colleen realizes that she hasn't heard from her dad in quite a while, worries begin to mount.

"She knows her father well and he's very punctual and always in communication with his daughters," explains Tammin Sursok. "They're supposed to have lunch together and he doesn't call and when she calls him, he doesn't answer. From the start, she thinks something's amiss. When it turns into nearly a day, Colleen suspects that something's really not right."

Billy and Lily try to ease her fears, but a worried Colleen decides to look for her father herself. She goes to her ex-boyfriend JT for help, even interrupting his anniversary with Victoria. "She's not thinking about her own past relationship with JT at all. This is strictly about wanting to find Brad."

JT gets a search in order and they track Brad's cell to his abandoned car. The phone is inside the car, but Brad is missing. Meanwhile, Abby, Billy, Lily and Ashley check Brad's voicemail and they're all shocked to hear a message from Victor threatening Brad if he doesn't resign from Newman's board of directors. When Abby confronts Victor about it, Colleen overheard and unleashes her fury on Victor. She's enraged.

Colleen confronts Victor in front of the whole crowd, telling him that everyone knows how much he hated Brad.

Elsewhere in Genoa City, Noah (who is still recovering after falling into icy water) finally remember that Brad was the person who rescued him.

Once Victor comes to realize how serious the situation really is, he offers up some of his own resources to help find Carlton. However, JT secretly admits to Billy that thinks aren't looking good for Brad.

Don Diamont's last day as Brad is February 5.

"It was tough saying goodbye," sighs Sursok. "I had a lot of scenes with him, so I connected with him from the beginning. He helped show me the ropes when I first joined. I was also upset for him because he's been on the show for so many years. His last day was a very sad day for me."                                                                                                                                                                            undefined

From the February 10, 2009 issue of Soap Opera Weekly (p. 19):

A Closer Look: Colleen

The search for Brad is on this week, when Colleen summons J.T. to help find her missing father.  Tammin Sursok discusses the mysterious disappearance.

Weekly:  What prompts Colleen to go looking for Brad?

Sursok:  Colleen and Brad were supposed to go to dinner.  He never canceled or called, and there's a blizzard outside.  Colleen's starting to get worried.  She calls the cops for help, but they say someone has to be missing for 24 hours, so they can't really do anything right now.  Colleen's fed up, so she decides to look for her dad on her own.

Weekly:  Colleen ends up interrupting J.T. and Victoria's anniversary dinner, and asking for J.T.'s help.

Sursok:  Since J.T. has experience [as a private eye], Colleen asks him where's the first place she should look for her dad.  J.T. wants to come with her, because it's dangerous outside.

Weekly:  J.T. and Colleen track Brad's cell signal to a road near the cabin and head out looking for him.  What do they find?

Sursok:   They come to a dead end.  They find Brad's abandoned car and his phone is inside.  Colleen's worried--why would her father leave his phone and not contact anyone?  J.T. and Colleen also find a rescue person, who tells them it's deadly out there and that they should turn around.  Colleen is definitely thinking the worst.

Weekly:  J.T. calls Paul to get a search started, and he and Colleen return to Brad's house.  What happens once they get there?

Sursok:  Everyone's waiting to hear the latest news--Ashley, Traci, Abby, Lily and Billy.  Colleen tells them they found Brad's car and cell, but don't know where he is.  Everyone's hoping for the best.

Weekly:  Later, Victor shows up at the house.  How does Colleen feel about that?

Sursok:  Colleen is absolutely furious that Victor's there, because he dislikes her father so much, but she lets it simmer for a while.  She doesn't have a full-blown go at him until later.  Victor's there for Abby, because he's her real father.  But Colleen sees it as Victor trying to sabotage something.

Weekly:  Later, Colleen confronts Victor about the voice-mail he left her father, threatening Brad unless he resigns from Newman's board of directors.  Does she unleash some real fury here?

Sursok:  Colleen's enraged!  She screams at Victor.  She's like, "How dare you come here when everyone knows how much you hated the man?  Everyone is here supporting him and hoping he's going to be okay!"  She tells Victor everyone heard the voice-mail he left for her father, saying he doesn't want Brad as part of anything he has his hand in and throwing him off the board.

Weekly:  Ultimately, Victor realizes how serious the situation is and offers to help find Brad.  Is Colleen amenable to this?

Sursok:  At this piont, anything that can help find her father is fantastic, but Colleen's not that happy [the help is coming] from someone she dislikes so much.

Weekly:  Is Colleen starting to wonder if her father might be dead?

Sursok:   I think so.  If someone isn't found in 24 hours, you pretty much expect the worst.  Colleen's devastated by Brad's disappearance and extremely upset, but she's still hopeful.  She's always loved her father and wants him to be okay.  If [it turns out Brad is dead], Colleen's life will be completely turned upside down.
