Brad arrives in Summer Bay following the death of his mother Elaine. Sally Fletcher arrives to find Brad in Leah Patterson-Baker's house naked.
Brad tries to help his sister Rachel with her grief and organises Elaine's funeral. When Brad is locked out, Sally finds him naked again.
Brad later saves her from a burning building. Emily Vincent, Brad's girlfriend arrives and they get married on the beach in a small ceremony but she dies of leukaemia, leaving him devastated.
Brad and Sally grow closer, as she had lost her husband Flynn Saunders several months earlier.
When Rocco Cooper enrols at Summer Bay High, Brad is reluctant to give him a chance but Sally is willing. Rocco's brother, Johnny arrives and angers Brad.
At Christmas. Brad and Sally share a kiss under the mistletoe and plan to have dinner together, but Sally does not arrive but is found bleeding outside of the school after being stabbed by Rocco on Johnny's orders. Sally recovers and she and Brad's bond strengthens when he moves in with her.
Naomi Preston arrives and Brad discovers her relationship with Lucas Holden. Naomi twists the story to make it look like Brad had knowledge of the relationship before she began teaching at the school.
Brad is later stood down as principal but things look up when Sally accepts his marriage proposal. On the day of the wedding, Sally jilts Brad, leaving him hurt and he moves out.
While on a boat trip with Alf Stewart, Ric Dalby, Dan Baker and Jack Holden, a storm occurs and the men are lost at sea but return safely.
Brad and Rachel later learn their father Robert had an affair with Heather McCabe, resulting in a daughter, Tamsyn, their half-sister. Heather leaves Tam with Rachel and Brad to attend a gambling rehab programme.
They struggle to look after to Tam, as she defies Rachel's authority. Brad takes sole care of Tam but due to her behaviour he loses out on a job at Yabbie Creek High.
He supports Sally when her daughter Pippa Saunders is hit by Alf's Ute. Heather returns and Brad decides to move to Tasmania and invites her and Tam to come with him and they accept.
