They could always run a marathon for her on Soapnet. I'm sure she appeared on a bad Canadian reality show at some point, or in an episode of One Tree Hill.

HAHA!!! Classic.

Yeah if this was 5 or so years ago SoapNet prob woulda run a marathon (I have on DVD-R their Tad the Cad and really great I Love Lucci marathons--such a waste)

I forgot Brooke was raped and had an abortion, too

http://sn.soapnet.go.com/galleries/brooke-101?page=0,18 Is that the very short lived Pierce Riley number 2? I don't recognize him...

I knew she was raped, but I didn't know about the abortion. She has so much in common with Erica.

[EricMontreal22]

No wonder they're the best frenemies of all time. (Calling them frenemies, I realize, may be a bit generous)

[Jonathan]

Actually, some time after Bianca was raped, Erica and Brooke were talking at the hospital. I thought for sure the writers were going to bring up the fact that Brooke was raped also. But it probably would've been overkill with 3 characters on the canvas all rape victims. This show likes to use rape a lot:

Erica

Bianca

Brooke

Gloria

Ruth

Julia

who else?

[EricMontreal22]

Ceara was raped by her father. I'm sure there are more, LOL...

[DRW50]

Natalie

Hayley

Liza (wasn't she raped by a trucker?)

[Jonathan]

Who raped Hayley? I thought she was just drugged and she believed she was raped?

[DRW50]

Initially they juts had it where she was drugged and passed out, but at the end they rewrote it to where Tanner actually forced himself on her, I believe. I think she had flashbacks of him forcing himself on her.

[EricMontreal22]

Of course Natalie. And I think Liza was, yeah. Will essentially raped Hayley too didn't he or did he never manage? I mean that could be a more complicated scenario, but... (I swear though Tanner never raped Hayley and it was her faulty drunk/drugged memories...)

[Jonathan]

No, Will did not succeed in raping Hayley. I think she hit him over the head. Then she locked herself in the bathroom and she passed out. And when she woke up, he was dead. She thought she killed him.

[DRW50]

I really do think Tanner raped her. I was HORRIFIED by that story, I was beyond disgusted, and I kept thinking, "At least he didn't actually rape her." And then near the end she started remembering things and I swear she remembered groggy flashes of him raping her. That story upset me so much...it still does, thinking about it. The only good thing in it was Kelly Ripa's performance. How she pulled those performances out of her when she was 5-6-7-8 months pregnant, I never knew.

I don't know, it's been a long time, maybe I'm wrong.

[EricMontreal22]

Ruth was almost raped but wasn't actually, right?

It was awful, and I hated it too (sorry Broderick ) but I'm pretty sure I remembered she didn't. LOL. Hrmm, I thougth I had some of it on tape, but I only saved the episode around the time when Tom came back to town to help Hayley.

[Jonathan]

I think she was.
