Summary
Bryan Murray, the beloved actor known for his role as Shifty Boswell in “Bread,” is now living with Alzheimer’s, having been diagnosed in 2019. His partner, Una Crawford O’Brien, shared a poignant update: while Bryan remains cheerful and engaged in his care home, he often doesn’t recognize her — a heartbreaking reality that underscores the cruel progression of the disease. The couple met on the set of “Fair City” in 2005 and have been together for nearly two decades; Bryan even continued working on the show until his retirement in April 2025. Before “Bread,” he gained fame for his iconic role as Trevor Jordache in “Brookside.” Una’s openness about their journey highlights the emotional toll of watching love fade through memory loss.
