B&B Promo- Brooke's Secret Becomes a Serious scandal


Recommended Posts

There is no man that Brook would not pursue, no taboo, she would not consider breaking other than biology, we hope. Brooke went after Ridge when he was involved with Caroline, her best friend who was like a sister to her. She got involved with Eric even knowing that her mother was in love with him.

The Beth/Eric relationship had already been destroyed by Stephanie - Beth was never really going to be with him, she was too loyal to Stephen.

I never had a problem believing Brooke would go after Ridge, or Thorne, or Eric, but I just don't believe she would have gotten into bed with people her sisters or daughter (I'm not counting Oliver since the writing claimed she didn't know who he was, or she thought he was Ridge, or whatever) were involved with.

This is what happens when characters go to pot. There's no real conflict in Brooke/Bill. I don't know if anyone beyond about ten people care about Katie/Bill, I don't believe the Katie/Brooke (or Brooke/Donna or Katie/Donna) relationships since they brought the Logan sisters back. and people have seen "Brooke the town whore" stories non-stop. Not to mention that Mr. Shoe Polish is not likely to get a fraction of the backlash the woman gets.

It's shitty writing and it reminds me of why I stopped watching this show.

I can't remember the story now but I thought she got involved with Eric after Beth and Stephen had moved away. Beth was hurt because she still loved Eric, but she'd also chosen her husband some time before that. But if I'm wrong, so be it; I only started watching regularly after Beth was pretty much gone.

I don't agree with that. Brooke wasn't written like this until Brad Bell decided to put her together with Deacon. Before that she was all about Ridge.

That's how I remember it too. And let's not forget that Eric was the one who initiated their relationship if I'm not completely mistaken. But I guess it's easier to blame it all on Brooke....

That's what the writing always does. It's trashy, one-note storytelling, which never produces anything of value. All these shock value stories flop. The only one that worked was Deacon, because of the actors, and in the long run it destroyed Brooke's character.

I'll concede that it's not OOC for the WAY Brooke has been written over the years. However, there comes a point where the character SHOULD be written as wiser and more mature. Do we really believe this would be the story if HT wasn't taking her leave? I doubt it - not at this point. (Just three months after marrying Widge, etc.) The Deacon story worked - it was hot, dangerous and scandalous. The rest have just been ridiculous. The fact that KKL has been able to pull these stories off (Oliver) is a testament to her. I really would've preferred putting Steffy in a compromising position with Bill and Taylor finding out. THAT would've been interesting in terms of Taylor's morality, Liam fallout, etc. But, maybe, part of the plan is for Widge to serve divorce papers to Brooke to permanently free her up so that they don't have to do a recast.

She's always been all about Ridge. That never stopped her from being portrayed like a skank. She slutted her way through Thorne and Macy's relationship and that was before Deacon. She tried numerous times to break up Ridge and Taylor's marriage and that was before Deacon. The only thing that the Deacon affair changed was that the other woman was a member of her family and honestly, I think thats more to do with the fact that her sisters were written off the show in the 90s. Had they stuck around, Brooke most likely would have ended up with their men at some point.

IDA that Brad is doing worse with Brooke. If anything he's being better bc in the pat she had no shame and little remorse for the pain she caused when she went after a taken man. He's given her an out here by having Katie be the one to push Bill/Brooke together and her last two scandals was an accident (Wall Boink) and a lie (Berry Boink). She isnt portrayed as morally corrupt anymore

A lot of things are shown on B&B. "Time and time again" mostly means the last decade, which ruined every character and was full of bizarre story choices like Taylor bedding her daughter's ex-boyfriend and her enemy's father for no good story reason. It's trash writing with no fallout. I don't care if Brooke has a big party to have sex with every guy Hope, Bridget, Donna, and Katie were ever with - I'd still say it's out of character. The characters used to have some hint of standards, in their own twisted way, before Brad Bell took over completely and began to go completely downhill in the late 90s. Now they don't have any standards. The worst is that these stories never lead to anything. Ever.

The thing that bothered me the most about Brooke being a portray as a s!*+ was that she was supposed to be this college-educated, intelligent woman (Remember "Belief"?), who was reduced to stupidity like "Brooke's Bedroom" when she had her chance at FC. How ridiculous was that? A woman like Brooke who came from middle class roots, was successful AND then got into high society sure would not pass up her chance to try to be respectable, instead of ridiculed! There is a big difference between camp (Sally) and trashy/smarmy (how they chose to portray Brooke). I got the Eric storyline (father figure, Widge/Caroline), but I basically disagreed with 90% of the others. I mean Ridge, Nick & Thorne (half bros), Eric. I'm surprised they didn't have her make a play for Stephano - I mean - Massimo.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
