Brody Lovett is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera One Life to Live, portrayed by Mark Lawson from April 24, 2008, to January 13, 2012, when the series ended.

Threatened by Gigi's connection to her high school sweetheart Rex, Adriana sends her mother Dorian Lord to get information on the deceased Brody in 2008.

Brody sees in Shane an opportunity for a new start, and takes the initiative to find employment and begin attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

When Gigi leaves town to pursue the missing Rex to Texas, a jealous Brody takes charge of Shane and the household.

Having grown dependent on Shane's love and validation, Brody fears that if Gigi and Rex are to reunite, he will lose access to the most important person in his life.

Despondent, Brody suffers a mental breakdown, trashing Gigi's house and accidentally injuring her friend Marcie McBain.

Lapsing into “combat mode,” Brody outmaneuvers Gigi and Rex by picking up Shane from school and taking him to Llantano Mountain.

Losing track of reality, Brody suffers vivid hallucinations from his tours of duty, including the image of an Iraqi boy he had accidentally killed during a raid.

At St. Ann's, Brody befriends Jessica Buchanan, who is recovering from her latest bout of dissociative identity disorder following the death of her husband Nash Brennan.

Brody helps Jessica through a relapse of her illness and the stillborn birth of Nash's baby, and becomes a Llanview Police officer.

Jessica's evil biological father Mitch Laurence returns and subjects her to electroshock therapy; she loses all memory beyond her senior year of high school.

She tells him her test says John is the babies father, which in reality it is, since the paternity results were changed by accident by Clint's assistant.
