Members Darn Posted January 6, 2010 Members Share Posted January 6, 2010 When I read the title I was sure it'd be someone lame like Aiden Turner. THIS is a pleasant surprise. Love her, liked Brooke most of the time and seeing Brooke and Erica spar has the potential to be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 I was waiting for you to react Eric. It's like a late Christmas present, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'd love to see Tom back in a more B level capacity (I love the character, I just do't think him returning for an A level storyline makes any sense right now) and loved him with Brooke but... Nah, they'd be boring now. Plus to bring back Brooke only to have her fall for a character who hasn't been a major part of the show since 1995 (and only made some appearances since) would kill the whole purpose of bringing Brooke back IMHO--which is to interact, shake up and reshape the characters that are already on the show--help improve what we have. (that makes me wonder though--was Tom approached to do the Anniversary ep? Seems odd he wasn't there) I would love it if she returned formore than a stnt, but at this point I'll take what I can get (also I think shorter character stints are the way soaps in this current era will be going--and ifit's all Julia Barr is happy to commit to right now...)

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Erica and Brooke team up??? Nahh!! They are supposed to be enemies! I like them as enemies. I think it would be better if Brooke teamed up with Annie instead, seeing that they both loathe Erica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members zenarmour Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Even with the little she was given on the anniversary show you could see the personality shining through. She can smirk with the best of them. Brooke/Erica are better than Viki/Dorian on OLTL. I'm hoping Brooke does leave town with Adam when the arc is over. Pratt tried to shove couples we don't want down our throat - Adam/Annie and Ryan/Erica. The last thing I want to see if Annie becoming a wealthy widow. If DC is going to leave I hope they don't kill off his character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Nah I don't see Brooke liking Annie for many reasons, and Erica and her having a common enemy, the snark would be in overload Kind of like when Adam and Palmer would grudgingly team up or David and Tad or Tad and Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Ohh, I see what your saying! Wow I'm picturing it now, LOL... Oh and nice new pic in your signature! Is it new??

Members Faulkner Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 OK, AMC...now you have my attention. She has connections to most of the canvas, but I wish she still had family around. Even though she was strong and smart, Brooke has unfortunately mostly been defined by the men in her life. AMC really made a mistake by not giving the character of Brooke strong familial connections other than Phoebe after the show dumped the Tylers. (Jamie and Laura? Eh.) I guess my point is that I wish AMC had a stronger community for her to return to. But I'll take Julia Barr back anyway I can have her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 This makes up for Brooke not interacting with Erica and Adam during that awful episode of squandered returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Of course we want to see Brooke with Erica, Adam, and Tad, but the only "squandered" return was Nina not being able to share her scenes with Palmer. As for everybody else, it worked just fine given the premise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Chris B Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 Considering how long it's been since we've seen some of those people, and may never see them again, I don't think it was good enough. I wanted heartfelt moments between people. Not just characters standing and recounting moments to flashclips. I wanted to see Lily and Jackson together. Erica and her girls. Nina and Palmer. Maria and Mateo together and remembering Julia. Something more. I feel like if this is what they were going to do they should've done a straight up clip show.

Members SFK Posted January 7, 2010 Members Share Posted January 7, 2010 I see what you mean in terms of warm fuzzy moments of togetherness, but perhaps my opinion is based more on the characters who were chosen to return. I don't think the fans are exactly starving for more Erica, Bianca, and Kendall, and Lily, I didn't care to see her, period, but there's still time for Lily and Bianca in CA. I don't think stuff like Maria telling her own brother what Sam and Maddie are up to can touch her solo reaction to the mention of Julia's name. Plus, Greg has visited quite recently, and of course more with Brooke is to come. I still think not working something out with James Mitchell and Taylor Miller was the only real gaffe.
