Bradley Bell says: he's brought back Stephen Logan, so Brooke can have more of her family around her.

Stephen will return to LA, to make amends with his daughter. He's now a successful businessman, although estranged from Brooke's mother.

Stephen will be involved with Jackie, and one other lady.

And, he's got some major scores to settle with the Forresters - could Daddy Logan have the power to give his daughter back Forrester Creations?

I can't wait for Patrick Duffy's first scenes.

I think I will vomit if Stephen gets involved with Taylor!

Of course. Brooke needs her father by her side because we all know they have such a great relationship.

So not only will Stephen's face change, but his personality will as well. I can't imagine a self-respecting woman like Jackie getting involved with a miserable loser like Stephen. If B&B wanted to bring back an older romantic guy with ties to the canvas, Chris Robinson's Jack Hamilton would have been the perfect character to bring back.

I think I will vomit if Stephen gets involved with Taylor!

Ha don't worry, she's too infatuated with Nick to look at Stephen.

Wow. Are you serious?! I thought Stephen was supposed to be MAJOR sleaze.

And a businessman? I guess Massimo's money helped him change his job AND personality.

I thought Stephen gave the money back to Massimo, or refused it once his part in the scheme was revealed?

Or does it matter? New actor, new backstory, new character, really.

Talk about miserable losers, Jack Hamilton takes the cake there, IMO.

Sure, Stephen Logan was a miserable excuse for a man, last we knew of him, but I understand that things have changed with him and he wants to make amends for the past.

He did abandon his wife and children and that's a shameful thing, hard to forgive and harder to forget, but Jack Hamilton did worse to his family.

He stayed. He gambled, he drank...yet he's forgiven? What has he done that warrants forgiveness? Had a bad heart?

If Stephen comes back with a new backbone, determined to make up to Brooke for all that he did in the past, I can certainly get into that, especially if he does have a vendetta against the Forresters and he starts picking them off, one by one...Hopefully he will start with Ridge, who has done far more to hurt his daughter than Stephen ever did...

Stephen left home 7 years prior to Beth and Eric meeting up again and discussing their lives since they separated during college, with Eric going on to marry Stephanie. Brooke was in her last year of college at that time, putting her around 21 or 22. She would have been 15 or 16 when Stephen left home. Hardly young enough to have suffered irreparable damage from his leaving. She would have been hurt, yes, but she could have gotten over any abandonment issues he gave her if she'd fallen in love with an married a man who loved her as much as Nick does...One who would have treasured her above all others and never left her. She ended up falling for Ridge and a life of over 20 years of Merry-Go-Round love with a waffler that Stephen couldn't hold a candle to...

I hope Ridge is Stephen's number one target and he moves heaven and earth to keep Ridge away from her...forever.

Good point.

Maybe Stephen created a reality show on his personal life called "Big Fast Loser" and therefore gained richess???

Something I'm not sure has been posted, but according to the new TV Guide, Patrick Duffy will be playing Stephen Logan for 10 weeks, starting April 18.

I hope he stays on airtime alot longer to help brooke with the run of one company. this would give more sl's to brooke and little rick and bridget.
