And here's Bradley, trying to bond with his half-brother Henri.

 

Sometimes it's not easy, (especially knowing that Henri and his siblings are the children of the woman who caused his parents' divorce), but he'll try, at least for the time he has left before he goes to college. He's really trying, despite his bad temper, and he's making progress.

Jeannine is teaching Marlene to walk. 

"Oh, very good dear, you're doing great."

(Hopefully the boys won't get jealous).

Henri doesn't seem to mind in the least that she focuses all her attention on Marlene at times, he seems more entertained with his toys, and is in no hurry to learn to walk.

What about Jean? Will he care? Heaven knows. He always seems to be thinking about his music and the songs he'll compose, but he's still a teenager, though not for long, in fact he'll be going to college soon.

Yes, like her brother Bradley, Jean is about to become a young adult, both are more mature.... Well, except for the silly traps they set all the time, like the one now waiting on the chair in the garden. Jeannine and Tony don't fall for them anymore, they've learned, lol.

After changing clothes, Tony returned to his role as a dad and spent time with his young children. He first tried to teach Marlene to walk, but she doesn't seem to be interested in that now. Maybe it's too soon.

André is older and a bit behind in his learning, thanks to his parents' constant travels. But the time has come to catch up and he seems to be doing well.

"Come on, André, it's just a few steps, you can do it...", Tony encouraged him.

André put his all into it, and is quite stubborn (who knows who he resembles 🤔), and reached his goal. Marlene seems pleased with her brother's achievement.

"That's it, champ, you got it!" Tony exclaimed, lifting him up in his arms. André finally learned to walk!

 

It's a great day for André, Tony is happy, Marlene? Well, she has a short attention span, and now she's more interested in what's going on in the TV series.

Marlene ran into Tony's arms as soon as she saw him. Both he and Jeannine have a tiring day ahead of them, he'd better go change into more comfortable clothes.

Jeannine stays with Henri, who, as always, demands all her attention, but it's hard to take care of a baby in a dress and heels. She'd better go and change. And where is Jean anyway?

As they will soon be away from home for several days, Tony and Jeannine decided to spend some quality time with their little ones.

After the children went to bed, and while Jeannine was relaxing by the pool, Tony took the opportunity to finish his latest painting. The very 'special' subject managed to awaken Jeannine's restlessness. 

He knows Tony has met all kinds of women: athletes, actresses, even mermaids! But a lime green girl? What's she supposed to be, a plant, an alien? God only knows.

He says it's just someone from his imagination, someone he has seen "in his dreams", a character from his novels. 

"So an alien, huh? Well, she looks pretty human to me! Whoever she is, she's certainly beautiful and Tony has taken great care to paint her. Gosh... is it normal to be jealous of a painting? Maybe Jeannine is giving it too much importance, time to go to sleep!

Bradley and Jean Langerak

And since we're talking about Island Paradise, here we have Bradley and Jean, the two Tony Langerak's teen children. Bradley (above) is the son of Cassandra Steele; and Jean (below) is the son of Jeannine Lambert (Tony's fourth wife). Bradley recently came to live with his dad's new family, and it seems like he got along well with Jean. Rumor has it they'll go to the University together when the moment comes, and they will possibly go on some world adventures together as well, 'cause they both aspire to become explorers like their father. (Good luck, guys!)

Speaking about Tony, here we see him with his three smaller children: André (with him); and the twins, Henri (right) and Marlene (left). All of them Jeannine and Tony's children, Jean's siblings and Bradley's half siblings. The Langeraks are a big family, you know! ;)

Here is a memory of the day Bradley went to live with his father's new family, and of how he came to meet his half brother Jean.
