Liam Brady

Liam Jonathan Brady is the youngest child and only son of Brendan Brady. He has two older sisters, Kayla and Caitlin Brady. He left for his first year at Rosewood Academy in September 2021, along with his cousin, Quinn Fischer.

After three separate stints played by different child/baby actors, Liam returned in a more prominent role in 2018, played by Freddie Highmore. His return was confirmed on 29 October 2017 following the announcement that Chelsea Cockburn and Brendan Brady were reprising their roles as Chelsea and Brendan (Brendan was in prison and Chelsea had ran away); he reappeared on-screen in April 2018. Upon his return, it was said that Liam had "taken to being the man of the house", and was described as "not very academic, but [...] always willing to try new things – a trait which sees him quite often in trouble. His laddish demeanour, however, is softened by the affection he is not afraid to show Chelsea (one of the few mother figures in his life). As part of the reintroduction of Chelsea and Brendan, five children, including Liam, were scripted into the character's narrative, including Madison and Quinn, Chelsea's daughters, and Kayla and Caitlin, Brendan's other kids.

To promote the family's introduction, the BBC began airing trailers across the BBC network in March 2018. O
