wife Pamela Holland. The couple would go on to have two more children Angela and Leslie, but it would be Andrew who would shine as the golden and favored child. In the spring of 1981 following his Senior prom Andrew proposed to his high school sweetheart and longtime girlfriend Natasha Garrett. She accepted his proposal and the couple married that summer before Andrew and his new bride moved to Houston where they both attended the University of Houston. Andrew majored in Political Science during his time UH and would later earn a Masters Degree in Law from the university just as his father had done years earlier. In the early winter of 1982 Andrew reconnected with former classmate Jillian Malone who had developed a never before mentioned crush on Andrew in high school. By the spring of their second semester Andrew had begun having an affair with Jillian, a habit that would continue through this twenty year marriage to Natasha. Andrew's third semester came to a close in December 1982 and his life changed dramatically - both Natasha and Jillian were pregnant with his child. Natasha announced to the family that she was due in August of the next year, while Jillian revealed she was due in September. Andrew continued to have a relationship with both Jillian and Natasha, which proved difficult after Jililan dropped out of school and moved off campus in the spring of 1983. On Tuesday, August 2nd Natasha went into labor and Andrew paid a visit to Jillian. He told her that he was in love with his wife and had no intentions of leaving Natasha for her. When Jillian questioned their baby he accused her of sleeping around campus. He denied that Jillian's unborn baby was his child and ended their relationship. Devastated over the breakup Jillian went into premature labor and was rushed to the same hospital as Natasha. Andrew became a father on August 3rd when his twins: Jered Andrew and Jodi Lynne were born. In another room right down the hall Jillian also gave birth to a daughter who she named Amanda Christine. Jillian soon learned that Natasha had given birth in the same hospital as her and still upset over the breakup hatched a plan to kidnap Andrew and Natasha's daughter. On August 5th before her discharge from the hospital Jillian put her plan into action and kidnapped Andrew's daughter with Natasha. Jillian also left the hospital with her own daughter. The kidnapping of Baby Bradshaw devastated the family and became statewide news as the manhunt for the infant began. The infant was missing for three days until she was found at a church in River's Edge - unharmed. Jillian's grief over having lost Andrew and confused about her own actions prompted her to make a mistake that would change everyone's lives forever because Jillian placed the wrong baby in the church that fateful day. As a result of this mistake Natasha raised Amy (Jillian's daughter) as Jodi and Jillian raised Jodi (Natasha's daughter) as Amy. Andrew never put the connection together to realize it was Jillian who had kidnapped his daughter because he never heard from her again until years later. |

Andrew stood by as Sabrina announced to the family and to Sharon that she was in fact Mrs. Andrew Bradshaw. Andrew confirmed Sabrina's accusations and admitted to everyone that he did in fact marry Sabrina during his time away from River's Edge the previous year. Andrew was arrested for bigamy charges after Sabrina alerted the authorities of her true identity. It was during Andrew's lowest point that he received a visit from Sabrina who informed him of her master plan. Andrew learned that Sabrina intended to stay Mrs. Andrew Bradshaw for as long as it took unless he gave into her demands. Sabrina revealed to her husband the terms of their divorce: a comfortable living arrangement, a cash settlement and most important to her half of his stocks in BC. At the time Andrew wasn't aware that Sabrina had convinced his heartbroken sister Leslie to also sell her stocks. Andrew granted Sabrina her divorce giving her his stocks in BC and oblivious to the fact that his half of his estate included April's stocks in the company as well which Sabrina took half of.

Andrew more importantly at the time stood by Sharon's daughter Kendra and their relationship as step-father/step- daughter grew throughout Sharon's trial. When the jury returned a not guilty verdict Clarissa's grief stricken mother opened gunfire in the courtroom with the intent to kill Kendra. Andrew stepped in front of his step-daughter and took the bullet that was meant for her. Andrew immediately underwent surgery to remove the bullet from his chest. Andrew survived the surgery and wasted no time in marrying Sharon for a second time. While still in the hospital Andrew took Sharon as his wife. Concern for Andrew's health took a turn when the hospital explained to the family that neither Jered, Jodi or April's blood matched that of their father. A public plea for blood was made and a secret donor stepped forward to donate. Sharon grew more concerned when doctors told her that not only did Jodi's blood not match Andrew's it did not match her mother's as well. Sharon briefly questioned how this could be, but decided ultimately that Andrew had suffered enough and dropped it. Andrew recovered from his gunshot wound and returned home with his new wife Sharon by his side. |

She revealed to her husband that their marriage was over and there was nothing that he could say to change her mind. Phillip Bradshaw's death left the city of River's Edge without a mayor and the city council declared that a special election would resolve the matter. Having been considered a shoe-in for the position Andrew was thrown for a loop when Natasha declared her intent to run for the office held by her former father-in-law. Andrew accused Natasha of using the campaign as a form of payback for his affair with Valerie. Natasha contended that was not the case and claimed she was just as qualified as Andrew was to run the city.

The two quickly become involved with one another and Andrew much to his surprise found himself falling in love with Sharon and she with him. On the eve of the election Andrew asked Sharon to marry him and she joyfully accepted.

Working as a part- time secretary in the police station was a young girl in her early twenties by the name of Sabrina Davis. Andrew used his charismatic personality and charming looks to convince Sabrina to assist in his release. Andrew offered Sabrina a substantial amount of money for her help, but she had other plans.

romance had reached a boiling point and the two decided to leave River's Edge in order to be happy together. However, a car accident occurred with Jered and his then unknown wife Kendra involved. The accident left Jered in a vegetative comatose state with severe brain damage. Andrew's relationship with Kendra began to crumble after she announced that she was Jered's wife and she wanted to remove life support from her husband. Andrew joined forces with Natasha and together they sued Kendra for guardianship of their son. Andrew believed that keeping Jered on life support was a more viable option rather than withdrawing life support. Andrew's lawsuit strained his marriage with Sharon as well because of his opposition to her daughter. Andrew began spending more and more time with Natasha in their legal battle. Before the judge was able to issue a ruling in the case Jered died from his injuries leaving his family devastated with grief.

Their marriage broken and shattered, Andrew entered into marriage counseling with his wife. By the winter of 2009 Andrew and Sharon seemed to have found themselves on stable ground in their marriage. However when Gregory Holloway (who had left town in 2006) returned at the Winterhaven Festival old feelings returned to the surface. Andrew accused Sharon of having lured Gregory back to town and even though she denied the allegations Andrew saw them kissing at the festival.
