Same. And KKL gave it that extra, extra shade, too. And her shoving Taylee was a bonus.

(Continuing my scene, apologies, it's fan fiction, but there is so much that could be going on here, so many juicy opportunities):

Steffy:  Wait.  Wait a minute - what pheremone?  what are you talking about Brooke?, because I have no idea....Daphne what is she talking about?  I don't know about anything to do with the formula of the cologne or anything WRONG with it, I don't know anything about it, and

Brooke:  Why don't you ask her?  She's standing right here.  Daphne?  You have a tongue? Did Steffy know about the cologne?  Whose Idea was it to "spike" the cologne, you know, I mean....HAHA (sarcastic laugh) - like people spike the drink of an alcoholic, RIGHT, who would know about THAT?? WHO told you to do it Daphne? ??? (stares Daphne and Steffy down)

Daphne (shifts eyes).  "Steffy....she told me to come up with an idea to sabotage the cologne, and..."

Steffy (cutting her off)- NO, no I did not Daphne, that is a LIE, that is a LIE, and you know that all I wanted was for you and Carter to....well (throws hands up, and says too much), the PLAN was to get to CARTER and....

Brooke (cutting Steffy off):  AND THERE IT IS, isn't it?  Your PLAN was to have Daphne seduce CARTER.  AND TAKE FROM HOPE.  AGAIN.  Under the LIE of it JUST being about Forrester.

(enter Taylor, head down talking):  Steffy I forgot about what you said about Kelly's missing retainer and I found it in the bathroom when I was....(looks up from half shutting the door, sees all the people)....'wait what's happening, I'm sorry I am interrupting something...oh my gosh what's everyone doing here ..."

Brooke:  OH, welcome, look who it is, Ridge's repeat trick!  the SECOND CHOICE, HERE SHE IS FOLKS all TOASTY warm from Ridge's BED!   

Eric:  Brooke, maybe this isn't the greatest time, and I know how upset everyone is, so maybe let's think a little bit more about it before we say too much that cannot be taken back.

Brooke:  Eric, I'm sorry.  I'm really sorry that you will hear this, but I've listened to a lot from these people over the years, and I've beaten myself up about it.  I am going to SPEAK NOW.  Steffy, I'll tell you what you did....it wasn't just about getting Forrester back - was it?  It was also about wrecking Hope's life - like it always is.  One could certainly see it that way, and I'm allowed to do that.  WE are allowed to do that.  YOU have a problem Steffy.  YOU do.  

Finn:  Ok everyone get your bearings, get emotions under control....

Brooke:  Oh shut up you little PUKE.  You got here all of about 5 minutes ago in the grand scheme of things, and YOU KNOW NOTHING.  Steffy - let's talk about your hatred for my daughter.  YOU bounced back and forth between Liam and Wyatt just as much as Hope did....and I do not believe for one second that it was as much of you CARING about Liam and Wyatt - no.  It was about TAKING from Hope.  JUST LIKE IT IS RIGHT NOW.  Otherwise WHY would you be focused on wrecking Hope's personal life?  In the NAME of "getting Forrester back"....you went after Hope.  What does "GETTING FORRESTER BACK" even MEAN, people??  FROM WHO?  From ME?  I HAVE PROVEN myself YEAR after year in my BELIEF for ALL of you.  TO MY DETRIMENT I BELIEVED.  MY BELIEF for this company. REMEMBER BELIEF?  YOU ARE DESPICABLE.

Ridge:  Wait.  Just wait, you will not speak to my daughter...

Brooke:  GOD. SHUT. UP.  TALK to YOUR Daughter HOW?  YOU CALLED MY DAUGHTER a BITCH and a SLUT.  You forgot that a slut from the Valley is also a chemist.  You have forgotten a LOT Ridge.  You need to have your Son In Law get you on the schedule for a BRAIN scan.  

Taylor:  I'm sorry, I think this was a bad time, and I don't know exactly what's going on here but I'd appreciate a little bit of respect

Brooke:  You too, Taylor.  SHUT. UP.  Respect? You can STOP right there. You will NEVER get that from me, ever ever AGAIN. You and your BROKEN heart and Chakras and whatever other spiritual garbage you've woven together.  JUST GET OUT.  Ridge, go fix her Chakras....repeatedly for all I care.  Go Fix Chakras, go do THAT.

Donna, Eric, Katie, Hope, Carter - you stay.  If everyone else could leave us alone for about 10 minutes, we will have a staff meeting in the board room at 4:00 this afternoon.  I need to be with....the people I know are my real family for a few minutes.  You know what I don't understand? EVERY ONE of you has a vested interest in this company.  ME TOO. I ALWAYS HAVE.  And WE need to put this company back on track and make it the success that Stephanie always wanted.

The HOUSE that she built, and I will NOT let even her own granddaughter and son WILLINGLY put it at risk.  I just will not and I won't EVER apologize for that.  I am SHOCKED that your OWN MOTHER and GRANDMOTHER meant SO LITTLE to you.  She meant SO LITTLE that you'd let your personal lives get in the way of doing something innovative and LIFE saving to this company.  We SKEW OLD.  It was the WHOLE POINT of Hope for the Future.  I STILL have not made a decision on that, but it's a FACT we skew old.  You are STUPID not to see it.  All Carter and Hope were trying to do is make us RELEVANT again.  

Shut the door behind you.  Out.

 I want THIS Brooke back. We are not gonna get the 1993 OG boardroom Queen back, ever. Can we at least get the toxic mess that used to break up families?

Now that's a show I would watch lol

Do we know exactly who (besides Jennifer Gareis)? I don't have FB or Instagram anymore.

I want this Brooke back

1-10

 

Ridge ain't @#$.

 

I did like over these next set of episodes that Brooke was talking to Hope (and later Katie) about how she was feeling. Her emotions. It just stood out to me because with this show it can be plot and fashion and sometimes a character does not get a breather.

 

And it was nice to see Donna. It was so abrupt. And of course she ran and told Brooke about Ridge and Taylee. 

 

I hope that means that once Brooke gets the crying out of her that she will put on her businesswoman clothes and run that CEO position better than Ridge ever could.

 

Of course given that Next Week Promo...we'll see.

Wow...they are retconning the hell out of Luna's storyline! But, Jack Finnegan should have ALWAYS been the one who was Luna's father. It was the only thing that would have made Li's hatred of her sister to make sense...not the whole "Remember when I got you a job at the hospital gift shop?" LOL. Like, who the hell cares? But, sleeping with her husband and having him father her child, then it would have made sense. I feel like Luna's going to wiggle out of her serial killer days, too...which also should have NEVER happened. She should have just turned out to be a bad girl which the show desperately needs in that age-range. Yawn inducing Elektra ain't going to cut it.

[Rmodelboy]

Yes  !!!! How the hell do you fumble Ted King like. He could have sexing Brooke by this time. 

I also keep seeing people running with Finn is Luna's bio dad and a big ol hell no to that.

This is giving me Charles Manson with a groupie/follower vibe. Cringe. 

Sickly Taylee is so obsessed with him that she doesn't see anything else.

I would love to see Steffy's reaction if that turned out to be true.....

Poor RB was doomed from the start with perhaps the worst recasting on the show ever. They never should have let Krista go in the first place. She was perfect.

Although this is the show where Ridge and Bridget made out, so anything is possible.

[Maxim]

Can they reveal that this is not Taylor, but some psychotic woman who killed the real one in Rome and took her identity. Bradley can steal from Orphan and make it that she has escaped an insane asylum and has been obsessed with Bridge/Tridge all her life. Won't be any worse than revealing that Luna is a serial killer. The same type of Bradley Bell - drivel.

And it would explain why she is so boring right now. I want this to NOT be Taylor so much. It's offensive to expect of us the viewers to not cringe when JMW calls this woman - mom. No offense to JMW, but especially with the way they are writing her lately (judgmental, prudish matron)... she looks like her mother's older, emotionally unstable... sister.
