AMC: SoapNet's Brooke 101

[EricMontreal22]

By Ray Gardner--that's why she had the gun (that Joey found). But I couldn't remember if she was or not.

[DRW50]

Oh, Jonathan, you forgot about Erica's close friend, That Kit Fisher Person.

She was brutally raped and left for dead in the hospital parking lot.

[EricMontreal22]

Kit

Ugh poor Ruth. I am sure some other early-mid 70s characters were involved in rape storylines--none of Billy Clyde's prostitutes? hrmm

[SFK]

Oh my God, if it weren't so bloody early in the morning, I would scream at that [!@#$%^&*] ad that replayed every G.D. time I clicked to the next picture! They need to do away with that crap.

That was a nice little retrospective. That picture of Brooke in the red leather and Erica in the leopard print, wow, suddenly I'm seven again and my mother's closet doors are wide open.

I hate that they spelled it "Feebs"... PHOEBES!

[EricMontreal22]

Yeah I enjoyed it--but had to turn off my speakers...

[DRW50]

Didn't he rape his common law wife Estelle for loving Benny?

I could swear Donna had also been raped.

[SFK]

I have an episode on tape where they start a scene with a gratuitous shot of that Pierce oiled up and doing bicep curls.

[DRW50]

Was that the Pierce who played Traci's husband on Y&R? He's a DILF and much more tolerable than he was as Pierce. And he's a publisher (on Y&R). Someone call Brooke and tell her to drop by NY and see him. The only thing is on all his soaps I had a hard time believing he loved the ladies.

[SFK]

Hm, I'm not familair with his "work" outside of AMC...

Okay, just IMDb'd him (had to search by character name), yes, Greg Wrangler. Says he also played Steve Connolly on Y&R.

[DRW50]

I had forgotten Brooke had been with Mark. Bring Mark back AMC!!!

I love that they show Laura in that shocking belly-baring outfit and say "She didn't dress like this all the time." No, she didn't. Most of the time she dressed like the Ziffels from Green Acres.

They just take all the piss out of that Pierce story.

I will have to see this story someday to see if it is as bad as legend claims.

[EricMontreal22]

Funny, I don't even remember him except that I wasn't impressed (no one seemed to be--he lasted, what a month?) As cheesy as he was I prefered Maxwell Caulfield (Pierce 3) and the first much more--acting as well as looks

[EricMontreal22]

HAHA in my google the first thing that came up was Jack Wrangler (the gay porn star who married the older cabaret singer--female or whatever and died recently http://www.theaterdogs.net/category/jack-wrangler/) HAHA.

But yeah, was not a fan of Greg Wrangler as Pierce at all (and looking at pics, I can't say he's a DILF for me )

[DRW50]

I thought he looked good for his age on Y&R last year, although perhaps I was contrasting him to the generally fug men (and their shampoo allergies) who populate too much of Genoa City these days...

[EricMontreal22]

HA I liked the Pierce story, at first anyway (and actually some of the much cheesier stuff with Maxwell too I hate to admit) but it's very very easy to mock. Agreed, bring Mark back ASAP (was the reason he was on OLTL recently as that drunk prof who liekd Vicki for all of two episodes because of troubles with the actor though?)

I've wanted to see Cobra too. AMC really doesn't do well with those kinds of stories I don't think. Re her homeless mom--what happened to her? Did she die?

HAHA You're making me laugh outloud a lot tonight. No comment, but that could be a good point. I dunno he kinda looks like a cheesy older gay porn star to me--not really my type when it comes to finding older guys attractive Just very cheesy. (And no, I'm not confusing him with Jack Wrangler again).

It's interesting we all know why Pierce number one was fired, but from all I'v read he continued onto a fairly successful acting career and is known as a family man (!).

I think so, yeah...

Billy Clyde raped Estelle -- resulting in Emily Ann.

She was adopted by Donna & Benny after Estelle was killed.
