I agree, this was totally out of left field, just like everything else Bradley writes. Some people forget that Katie has been Brooke's cheerleader for years, even forgiving her for sleeping with Bill, which was insane. Brad gives Heather Tom these really active periods, short arcs... for her Emmys, then forgets about the character. That said, this storyline has potential, and I’ll try to enjoy it for what it is.
I side with both, actually... haha. And I'll explain why.
On one hand, Brooke is clearly the star of the family, always has been, always will be and to deny that... would be delusional. It’s pathetic how her sisters have latched onto her life. Donna has always been a dollar store version of Brooke. Whatever, whoever Brooke f-cked or destroyed in the 80s and 90s, Donna came to finish the leftovers in the 00s. Katie had an even sadder arc. She started as the awkward, goody-goody sister and by the mid-90s was just seen occasionally as Brooke's babysitter, practically staff in Brooke's house. Then Heather Tom’s version came in and they turned her into a heroine who dies all the time and wins awards for it. That's not a dig at HT. That's the writing. She's an exceptional actress, and she's demonstrating that once again in the current storyline.
On the other hand... Brooke is a selfish bitch (which I adore) who spent all her youth (and post-youth too) fuc-king everyone's men... and she deserves to suffer and to feel like a piece of sh-t. She should not be deified or acted around like she is Stephanie. She never will be. If Katie can bitch slap Brooke into her place, metaphorically speaking, I'm here for it. But for that to happen, REALLY happen, she needs to be in active storyline mode for more than a few months. More than just to get an Emmy or a nomination.
BTW - have great time this New Year's eve! ❤️
