The original set decorator for Y&R in the 70's was Brock Broughton who went on to do the sets for Dynasty in the 80's. I think Brock Reynolds was named after him and made his debut in 1974. I wonder if Reynolds was added because of the extreme popularity of Burt Reynolds at the time.

 

Brad Bell = Brad Elliott

Lauralee Bell = Lauralee (Lorie) Brooks

Lee "Phillip" Bell - Phillip Chancellor

William J. Bell & William Jr. - William " Bill" Foster Sr. & Jr. (Snapper). The Bells had friends with a son nicknamed Snapper.

On the show in the first episode Snapper tells Stuart it was because of his disposition. He wants to become a doctor to live like the Brooks do because he see's them as wealthy.

 

Bell said the real life kid named Snapper was snotty and bratty.
