My memory fails (
how could that be, with the amazing Neighbours plot lines?!
) but I seem to recall something about a dodgy age/timeline e.g. Bradley was said to be 10ish, but was actually about 13, which proved he couldn't be Des' son. I a,so seem to recall Des finding him with 'adult magazines' which is when the age thing started unravelling, as obvs Des was
about a 10 year old wanting to look at that kind of stuff...
Yes, 80s were deffo mentioned, which is what made me think of it (along with, as a pp said 'but Brad was blond as a teenager, so couldn't be him!')
Just to cap off my reminiscences on Neighbours plot,Ines, didn't Dr K say something about the boy being in a red shirt? (was only half watching) - made me immediately think about Todd racing to the hospital to stop Phoebe having an abortion - am sure he was wearing a red shirt (why do I remember this stuff!) and he created a scene at the hospital etc, but that really wouldn't fit, as Phoebe kept the baby after Todd was run over, and it wasn't twins, and neither Todd nor Phoebe were Asian - overall too much for the scriptwriters to rewrite, surely?!
