No build up to Nick and Brooke what so ever... This is just not how it's done. My worst fear was that it's going to be something like this. Rushed, rushed, rushed. Just reading these recaps I'm having whiplash. It would have been so much better if Nick came just as a friend, as someone who is worried about Brooke. Why do we need to jump to LOVE and Romance the first week?! At least he is not recast with someone in his mid 40s. At least that. 

We'll see. I'm just happy to see him back, but these descriptions just don't sit well with me. In the end of the day, what do I expect? If Brooke was 10-15 years younger, she would have been pregnant by Nick 3 months from now. 

@janea4old - thank you for posting these!

I agree, of course, what you say makes total sense for an actual *story* ! 

 

There were two Jack Wagner interviews (SOD and tvinsider).
Both interviews are posted here (Link)
According to that, quite a while back, JackW randomly encountered Brad somewhere, and mentioned that he'd be in Italy in May, and JackW offered to do some B&B publicity while there.  So Brad threw this together based on the chunk of time JackW had available between his other acting commitments.   JackW did say he'd be willing to reappear someday in the future if there is ever another chunk of time available.

Aaaaaah, it's just a prop for Brooke and Ridge then... I missed this info! Thank you for the clarification.

Brooke needs someone who respects her.
She should NOT have to beg for her "destiny" (barf).
I like the idea of her connecting with a love interest who respects her.

But from the JackW interviews, it sounds like Nick comes in very confident and regards Ridge to be a small annoying fly to be swatted.  That's fine, but (in my opinion), it shouldn't be a macho contest for Brooke.

I'd much prefer that Brooke decide *ON HER OWN* that she's worthy of respect. You know, like a modern woman.   She shouldn't need any man to tell her that.

Brooke should have dropped Ridge at least 4 or 5 marriages ago.

Closing credits from episode that aired June 10.

Now we know that the children and preschool teacher air Monday June 16,
per the pics just posted above from SOC (Link).

Hayes,  Ms. Dylan, Bailey, Griffin, and Zane 
are all in the preschool scenes for Monday June 16.

I'm not sure who the "Olivia" character is -
she might be a child, or someone else entirely.

Bryan David Garlick as Hayes Finnegan who debuted week of June 9-13.
Linked-in post from his father about this B&B role:

Twins Theodore and Vincent Simard 
as the preschool twins Griffin and Zane.
(Per @JAS0N47, these same twins played Bo Brady's grandson
-- Ciara's son -- Bo Weston, 
on DAYS during week of June 9-13.).


Amelia Malkhasyan as "Olivia".
I don't know who this is.
I will speculate that she might be the red-haired girl in the preschool pictures, but I could be totally wrong.
