Bradley Snyder, also known as Brad Carter, is a character from the American soap opera As the World Turns, appearing from 1998 to 1999 and again from 2007 to 2009, when he was played by Austin Peck.
Under the name "Brad Carter", Brad came to town in 1998, after almost hitting Camille Bennett with his car. He took a job as a construction worker, working on a church in Oakdale. When Lucinda Walsh mentioned the name "Snyder", he denied knowing the name. He returned to the Snyder farm to find Julia Lindsey, his brother Jack's fiancé. Jack hated Brad; years earlier, Brad had struck and killed their father while driving drunk, and Jack had never forgiven him.
Later, Brad decided to take the name Snyder again. He had a history of brief flirtations and flings during the first two years he was in Oakdale. He and Molly Conlan McKinnon were involved in spending a cache of stolen money which they found buried. He was also involved in a plot with Molly's cousin, Carly Tenney. Carly was to receive $50,000,000 from her sister in return for giving birth to a child by her husband, John Dixon, after which she planned to divorce him. The plot nearly went wrong when Brad discovered that the baby's father was not Dr. Dixon, but Hal Munson. Knowing this, Brad blackmailed Carly into marrying him as soon as her divorce was finalized. Carly married him, then divorced him with a payment of a few million dollars in return for his promise of silence. Brad failed to keep his promise, and he and Carly became the most hated people in town. Because of this, Brad left Oakdale in June, 1999.
Brad was not depicted as entirely bad during this first period, though. Camille revealed to Jack that Brad's mother, not Brad himself, was the one who had been driving drunk and killed Brad's father; Brad took the blame to protect his mother. After discovering this act of gallantry, Jack forgave Brad.
Brad was discovered in 2007 by his brother Jack, who was investigating a break-in at the Snyder farm. He ingratiated himself to the wealthy Vienna Hyatt, who was staying there. Brad passed himself off as a wealthy television executive, and Jack volunteered him for a job at TV station WOAK.
