Kip Gamblin As Brad Willis
Brad Willis is a heritage Neighbours character.
Established in the early 1990s, he is remembered as a good looking, laid back surfer dude with a heart of gold.
When Brad returns to Ramsay Street, he’s now a family man – married to his second wife, Terese, and father to three kids, twins Joshua and Imogen (17) and Piper (14 ) who lives overseas. A grown-up version of his former self, the main attributes Brad retains from his younger years are his friendly nature, sense of humour and relaxed attitude to life.
Brad has never been overly ambitious, so when it came to choosing a career, he looked for a profession that would allow him to spend time in the great outdoors and became a PE teacher.
The family decision to move to Erinsborough coincides with Terese being offered a job at Lassiters and Brad putting his teaching career on hold to become a full time swim coach to Joshua. While he doesn’t dwell on the past, he finds it difficult to escape at times.
