Brooke used to be outrageously slutty for sleeping her way through the family but now that they've done that with every character (Taylor, Steffy, Donna, Katie, Eric, Bill, Ridge, Thorne, etc have all done it) she really doesn't seem that bad anymore. At least she hasn't killed anyone and is generally a pleasant person. She isn't sanctimonious either (just briefly with Amber and that was twenty years ago).

She ended up being one of the more moral characters on the show TBH. Not what I would have thought during the 90s!

Sluts are easiest to redeem. She hasn't killed or even beaten up anyone. Pretty much all newer fans don't even know she has slept with an entire gene pool and got pregnant like... 6-7 times including her failed pregnancies. She has had more than 20 marriages. That is hardcore.

I'm liking seeing Zende more, and the actor is beautiful.

IF the show were smart, they'd have him leave Forrester and start his own scrappy fashion company, such as Spectra was in the past. I think a problem on the show right now is that mostly everybody is either rich or super successful. You need characters that are trying to claw their way up for contrast.

Thank you!

I find it interesting how Brooke is so reviled while other characters, who have done far worse than she has, receive nowhere near the same level of criticism. What does that say about people's views on sexuality vs violence for instance? Stephanie used to bully, beat and belittle anyone who dared to oppose her, and she put her whole family through agony when she went as far as faking a heart-attack just to get her own way. And Taylor shot an unarmed man from behind in cold blood. That is way worse than anything Brooke has ever done.

Because Stephanie wasn't a hypocrite.

 

Stephanie wouldn't have pulled out a Bible and started pretending that she was Shirley Temple. I mean, I love me some KKL, but Brooke is a SMH-piece-of-work WITHOUT a Bible. With a Bible, she's just another hilarious joke!

I hope to God the show was in on the joke, but I don't know that they were.

Brooke slept with her son in law, when she was married to Eric. She was then pregnant and didn't know if it was the father or the son. EW.

Brooke got pregnant by her son in law, her daughter's husband. I would say this breaks the disgusting meter. 

Brooke slept with her sister's husband and got pregnant. Now this is some kind of Maury show or Oprah show level of perversion.

She has no comparison in the show and there is no" thing about people's views on sexuality vs violence" here.  Brooke is a sexual predator and she isn't prejudiced or discriminated against. SHE IS VIOLENT in her own way and she destroyed lives.

She drove Macy to kill herself, taking away her husband.  I call this VIOLENT. This woman deserves criticism and anyone who thinks she does not is out of their mind. 

Now... what these other people did is something different and I think yeah... they deserved MORE criticism and backlash, but Taylor killing someone or Stephanie faking a heart attack don't make sleeping with your daughter and sister's husbands any less DISGUSTING and shocking.

It is because Brooke is a compilation of DISGUSTING shocking scandals YEAR AFTER YEAR. COMPILATION. It is not one thing, or two things. It is... every year... at least in the past. 

But that doesn't make me NOT love KKL. She will forever be my favorite actress AND WITHOUT the narcissistic and histrionic Brooke, Bold will not be Bold.

I myself think the most vile thing she ever did was JUST in the beginning, when she lied and manipulated Caroline who was just raped and vulnerable... hid the letter from Ridge and made her think Ridge doesn't want her anymore. She completely manipulated this relationship and in the end Caroline's life was in ruins.  This is the scene Caroline finally sees Brooke's real face.

      DAYS: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

      DAYS: Current&Former actors live video tribute for Drake Hogestyn

      By Wendy · Posted

      Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Alan · Posted

      When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist.

      Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.
