Brendan Lambert, played by Josh Byrne, was the youngest child on the Lambert side in the TV sitcom Step by Step. Throughout the show's run, Brendan was featured less and less, and by the final seventh season, he was completely written out of the series, although his character was still referenced by the remaining cast members. This was largely because his role was considered small, and new characters were introduced, leading to his departure from the show and acting altogether around 1997. Since then, Josh Byrne has stayed out of the public eye, and little is known about his current career or whereabouts
. In the storyline, Brendan had moments such as running away briefly due to family tensions and being involved in various family events, but no major dramatic exit was depicted on screen; rather, his character simply stopped appearing in the last season
