## Storylines

### Getting Involved with the Forrester family

Brooke is a very complicated woman. She been known to break up many marriages in her family and the ones she married. Brooke often follows her heart, sometimes her libido and not her head. As she is always looking for love, she hasn't looked in the right place, herself first. Until she does, she is often doomed to making the same mistakes when it comes to men. Additionally, because of her bad personal decisions she is often hurting the women closest to her (Bridget and Katie) at the same time. She sleeps with every woman's man even within her own family. She's had the most marriages still racking up. Brooke's had many marriages, most to Ridge Forrester, who she considers to be her true love. The two have a complicated history in which they often marry and break up for silly reasons. Still, they always seem to be there for each other. Brooke and Ridge work together at Forrester Creations and have developed a dynamic that works well and have them hailed as Fashions Leading Couple. Their multiple marriages and unconventional break ups with others are often covered in the press.
Ridge was engaged to Brooke but chose Caroline Spencer, whom he had been dating when he met Brooke. Eric comforted Brooke during this time especially after finding out that Stephanie drove Brooke's family away, later she got pregnant. Brooke broke up Ridge's parents Stephanie and Eric Forrester and Stephanie was furious. Brooke ended up marrying Eric and became Brooke Logan Forrester but later Stephanie ended up back with Eric, and Brooke went back to Ridge, but even when not married to a Forrester man, she still uses the Forrester name. Stephanie threatened Brooke many of times and was Brooke's and greatest rival. Decades later it was revealed that it was one relationship that kept Stephanie going. Stephanie took a curly phone cord and choked Brooke, she shoved her into a wall, punched her over a couch, and more nasty tricks including orchestrating the horrid physical attack and rape of Brooke by Andy Johnson. However when her rival was dying for cancer, Brooke pushed Stephanie to fight to stay and kept her secret. She even went to the doctors with her. At her end Stephanie asked for Brooke to be there, not Taylor and admitted that deep down she did indeed love Brooke and was sorry for her actions against her. She also admitted that Brooke was indeed the love of Ridge's life and that she had been jealous of Brooke because if her closeness with Eric.

Brooke also had a huge rivalry with Stephanie's daughter-in-law and friend Taylor Hayes, when Brooke broke up Taylor and Ridge. Taylor was Caroline Spencer Forrester's oncologist. After Caroline died Ridge started seeing Taylor. Taylor realized too late that Ridge still was very much in love with Brooke. This started on the longest greatest triangles as Ridge bounced back and forth between the two women always holding onto one when married to the other. Ridge and Brooke had the most marriages in the show but many were not legal. For over 25 years the two where on again and off again...though it is clear that. Regardless of whatever treatment, Brooke has alway considered Ridge her Destiny but the machinations of others (mainly his mother) and Ridge's inability to stand by Brooke has caused much strife and her to be deeply insecure about her worth and has been a huge driving factor in her inappropriate relationships with men such as Deacon Sharpe. As for she and Taylor, they never blamed Ridge or held him accountable for his actions, instead they blamed each other. However Taylor's hatred of Brooke seemly has grown even to the extent that she dislikes her children, unlike Brooke who has loved and cared for Taylor's. Taylor blames Brooke for many things that have gone wrong in her life claiming that Brooke stole her husband although Ridge left her for lying and being hypocrite to Brooke for years. Taylor has also married Thorne and Nick and been in a relationship with Eric which Brooke often interferes with her sexuality.  When Taylor was presumed dead and returned to be revealed alive, Brooke was very angry and selfish when Taylor was open. When Taylor was pregnant with Nick Marone's son, Jack Marone, she needed an egg donation, which nurse Bridget Forrester, used her mother, Brooke's egg donation, Taylor was horrified to be carrying Brooke's child. Taylor was in a relationship with Rick, and they slept together while Rick was with Taylor's daughter, Phoebe Forrester, and he had also kissed Phoebe's twin, Steffy Forrester. Rick ended up fighting with Phoebe in the car, and when Phoebe told him to stop the car, she tried to hit the brakes with her foot, but ended up hitting the gas hard, which made Rick lose control, and they crashed and it killed Phoebe. Brooke was with Taylor's son, Thomas Forrester, after Stephanie hired her grandosn to lie that they had sex when Brooke and him got stranded on an island. After that Thomas kissed Brooke in a Brooke's Bedroom fashion show.  Taylor also blurted out at Brooke's birthday party, Brooke's affair with Bill Spencer, Brooke's sister's, Katie's, husband. Taylor went through Dr. Caspary's files and Katie fired her as her therapist and hated Brooke and Bill for what they did.

Over the years Brooke has been involved with a multitude of men, most of the time trying to forget Ridge, who is Brooke's biggest weakness. Most of Brooke's exes still remain on friendly terms with her regardless if the fact they aren't together because if her warm spirit. Eric Forrester is if her biggest champions regardless if the fact that she had an affair with Ridge when they were married.

Brooke has contributed greatly to Forrester Creations and was the CEO with the highest profit margin to date. She was responsible for B.e.L.i.e.F (stands for Brooke Logan Forrester), Brooke's Bedroom, and the men's line. Although scandalized by the line, neither Stephanie or Taylor seemed to mind reaping the benefits of Brooke's line although they raked her over the coals for it. Brooke scandalized the fashion world by having a bed in her office and wearing lingerie however she made savvy business decisions that even caught eye of the great, Victor Newman. Using her sexuality to promote the line often caused the press to place her in the tabloids along with the fact that she has had some affairs with married men. She recieved the infamous nickname "The $lut from the Valley" by Stephanie.

### Marriage to Whip

When there was controversy Whip Jones stood up and said he was the father to Brooke's daughter, Hope to end the controversy of who fathered Brooke's baby. Brooke later married Whip but it was never a real marriage. Though she cared for him, she was not in love nor attracted to him. Brooke appreciated his friendship and saw that he was financially taken care of when they had their "marriage" annulled.

### Affair with Deacon

Brooke slept with her daughter Bridget's husband Deacon Sharpe. Stephanie was angry at both of them because she doesn't like people who mess with other people's marriages. Stephanie slapped Deacon then nicknamed Brooke "The W\*\*\*\* Of Beverly Hills!" Brooke then slapped her. Stephanie also stated" I always knew you did best for your kids,...what the h\*ll happened!?" Brooke then had a terrible relationship with her daughter Bridget. They got in many fights, and Bridget couldn't trust her. Brooke deeply regretted the pain that she caused her daughter and over time they started over. However, Brooke gave birth to Hope, which is a constant reminder of the betrayal of her daughter. It wasn't until Bridget had an affair with Brooke's husband Nick and later had an affair, getting pregnant with her son, Logan with Owen Knight. Bridget admitted to her mother that life wasn't black and white and she now understood how people could make mistakes.

As for Deacon, he once tried to get Brooke back by "outing" the fact that he, not Whip was Hope's father. Ridge whom Brooke was seeing again was devastated and disgusted. He and Brooke broke up over the reveal. Brooke has nothing to do with him and has tried to protect her daughter Hope from Deacon's nefarious ways. Ridge later raised Hope as his own daughter while Hope was unaware of the scandal regarding her birth until she was seventeen and overheard Brooke and Ridge. Brooke however was left aghast to later find out years later that Deacon willingly destroyed Hope's marriage to Liam for Bill Spencer in order to get out of prison. A text from Deacon, whom Ridge hated, was the reason for another demise of the Logan/Forrester union when Brooke lied about receiving a text from him. Although it was a text of her telling Deacon to stay away, Ridge blew a gasket and left her for a year and a half only to blow back into town with little apology.

### Marriage to Nick

Brooke and Nick started dating when Brooke found out about Ridge and Bridget having "feelings" for each other after Deacon revealed he was the father of Bridget. Although Ridge realized he didn't have real feelings for Bridget, Brooke refused to date him and was charmed by the sailor. Things became complicated when it was revealed that Nick and Ridge were half brothers. In the end, Brooke choose Ridge over Nick, though they were close. Ridge and Brooke remarried but a kidnapping Shelia had Brooke thinking Ridge died. Brooke had grief sex with Nick, Ridge came back alive and Brooke was pregnant. Brooke ended her union with Ridge and decided to do what was right for the baby. In the end, she found out the baby was Ridge's and they remarried AGAIN and Bridget came back to town and started dating Nick. Brooke was concerned about Bridget dating Nick, who had been deeply in love with Brooke because of their past and Deacon but let it go for her daughter's happiness. Taylor came back from the dead destroying another Logan/Forrester union and Brooke and Nick became close. Nick spent time with Hope and R.J. (Brooke and Ridge's son) and the two fell in love. Bridget found out she was pregnant with, Nicole, and they married. Brooke promised nobody would find out she loved Nick, but Stephanie told Bridget the truth. Bridget and Brooke's relationship was strained once again. Bridget lost her baby and ended things with Nick because she loved her mother.

Ridge and Brooke had reconciled, but Brooke still loved Nick as well. She decided not to marry Ridge, partly because how he left her and their children to run off with Taylor. She married NIck. The two had problems when Ridge often stuck his nose in their relationship. Nick thought that Brooke was cheating on him with Ridge, got drunk and slept with Bridget. Bridget became pregnant, told Brooke the truth. Brooke left Nick for Ridge and Bridget miscarred. Brooke forgave Bridget. Years later after another failed marriage to Bridget because he had an affair with Katie, and she became pregnant, Taylor and Nick got together. Taylor and Nick were having a baby, and needed an egg donation Bridget, used Brooke's egg, accidentally. When Taylor found out, she was devastated. The baby was named Jack, because she couldn't bond out of her hatred for Nick, she gave up her rights and the marriage ended.

Nick and Brooke are still close friends. She even supported him when he started dating her sister Donna. However, their friendship hit a bumpy road when Nick stole designs from Forrester ruining the work of Brooke's then husband Ridge. Brooke was devastated that Nick would be willing to do such a thing to her, Nick in turn was saddened by the result.

### Donna's Marriage to Eric

Stephanie than hired a guy Andy who liked Brooke to break up Brooke and Eric. What she didn't know was Andy was a stalker and raped Brooke. Brooke's younger sister Donna also had a rivalry with Stephanie over Eric in which Donna also married Eric but did not last long.

### Generational Rivalry

Stephanie's granddaughter and Taylor and Ridge's daughter, Steffy Forrester, and Brooke have somewhat of a fued, because Steffy, and Brooke's daughter, Hope Logan were both in love triangles of Oliver Jones and Liam Spencer.

When Katie told Brooke she was pregnant with Nick, Brooke slapped her because at the time, Nick was married to Bridget, Brooke's daughter. Katie had a miscarriage. Brooke felt saddened for her sister and allowed Jack, her son by Nick to spend time with Katie to help cheer her up because of her loss. After a plane crash, Brooke and her step-son, Thomas Forrester. They ate magical berries and got all loopy, and were naked with leaves covering them. However Thomas lied and stated that he had had sex with Brooke because Stephanie bribed him with her Forrester stock. Brooke and Ridge's marriage faltered and just as Ridge was poised to remarry Taylor. Thomas told the truth which caused Ridge to break things off and go back to Brooke. Brooke also had accidental sex with Hope's boyfriend Oliver Jones at a pool party, thinking he was Ridge and Oliver thought she was Hope. Steffy had a tape that exposed this scandal at Hope's graduation party.   Stephanie was dying of cancer but when everybody thought Stephanie would have picked Taylor to be by her side she picked Brooke. (This storyline seemed odd to some viewers, however indicated by many soap magazines, the rivalry between Stephanie and Brooke was one of the strongest "relationships" on the show. That plus that fact that Susan Flannery who plays Stephanie and Katherine Kelly Lang who plays Brooke are close added to the emotions of the scenes and was stated the real only way that Stephanie could have gone out.) Stephanie died in Brooke's arms. Ridge did not show and resigned it Paris, France (because long time 25 year actor Ronn Moss had left the show).

Ridge, now played by Thorton Kaye...however has not mentioned why he did not come back for his mother's funeral nor indicated that Brooke who was there for his mother when she died nor spent any time. Since he appearance in December he has spent very little time thinking about his mother. This inconsistency along with others have questioned the new direction of this character.

### Affair with Bill

Brooke's sister Katie was married to Bill Spencer Jr. Katie became depressed left without a word. Meanwhile Ridge had left Brooke over the text from Deacon and cut off all contact with her. Katie sent Brooke and Bill to Aspen hoping to creat a relationship between them so Brooke could raise Will. Back in L.A., Bill and Katie had a baby boy, Will Spencer (William the 4th). A strong bond formed as Brooke as the two lamented about the abandonment they received from their spouses ( ridge had left Brooke on their honeymoon over a text that she received from Deacon about Hope). Brooke was there for Bill and supported him with raising Will. When Stephanie died in Brooke's arms Bill was there for her and they kissed. Katie came back and the two ignored their attraction. Brooke turned her attention back to Forrester while Katie and Bill had problems. Katie wanted very little to do with Bill and Bill who still had reservations about Katie started to confide in Brooke. Brooke tried to plan a romantic dinner for the two when Katie admitted she had not been intimate with her husband in months, however the plan went awry after Katie found Bill drinking a scotch and left, leaving him with Brooke. After one if their many fights Katie accused Bill of being an alcoholic ( though he was not) and Bill admitted that it was hard to Brooke and asked why it couldn't be like it was when it was he, Will and Brooke. Bill convinced Brooke to relaunch Brooke's Bedroom as a way to contend with Taylor's whose power base expanded when she started dating Eric. It was a success, Taylor in retaliation told Katie that Brooke was making a play for Bill. Katie stormed over and confronted the two and was incensed when she spied a lingerie wearing Brooke with her husband. Katie demanded that Brooke stay away from her husband and demanded that Bill tell Brooke that nothing would ever develop between them. Bill refused, Katie stormed out and Brooke asked why he just didn't tell Katie that their was nothing between them, Bill stated that was because it would have been a lie. Brooke realized just how deeply attracted she was to Bill and it scared her. In an effort to make amends and try to help, Brooke told Katie not to focus on her but on her marriage. One night Brooke and Bill crashed into each other. Brooke brought Bill to her house to make sure he was okay. The police cop was on the street so Brooke kept Bill there to avoid suspicion. Katie came over worried and was devastated when she found out they crashed into each other. Katie went ballistic and gave her ring back to Bill and said they should be together. Brooke and Bill gave into their passion and made love. However Katie had another heart attack, Brooke then told Bill to go back to Katie and that their time together would be nothing more than a lovely memory.

Then Brooke tried to seduce Eric and told him about the baby and asked if he woukd claim paternity.Eric declined said he's in a relationship with Taylor (Stephanie's now deceased) but pressured Brooke into telling the truth. Brooke ran over to Bill and Katie's to tell them, but fainted and then had a miscarraige. Then Brooke said it was nothing. Brooke later did tell Bill who had been concerned about her distant and distracted behavior. Bill then held Brooke and she'd tears for their lost child.

Donna walked in and told her that was wrong but Katie had to know if she could trust them again. Katie then put in another spy camera but placing a bottle of alcohol (mainly for Bill) on the table and reasked both Brooke and Bill to babysit Will again.

Brooke flew to a business trip to Monte Carlo with Donna. Bill alone at Katie's home heard a beep by the baby monitor. He went over and found a spy camera and looked around and found the rest. Donna convinced Katie that she should take Bill back. Katie returned home asking Bill to move back in with her. Bill showed her the spy camera he found (the first one) and told her about the rest. They got into an argument and Bill whipped the box at Katie and left.

Bill flew to Monte Carlo to be with Brooke. He told her his marriage was over and that he lived her and wanted a life with her. Brooke tried to get Bill to go back to Katie however he relented that his marriage was over. Brooke convinced Bill that she'd be with him only if he told Kaite. She believed that he and Katie woukd get back together. Katie begged for Bill back. Bill told her straight no and that their marriage was over regardless of Brooke because of their problems. Bill escalated the confrontation and Brooke snapped at Katie and defended Bill once again. Katie blamed the whole thing on Brooke and Katie stated Brooke and Bill have been blaming her for everything the whole time. Bill remarked that Katie planted the seeds of their relationship.

Rick then rehired his mother, Brooke, to tag along with the Forrester team. Wyatt overheard Deacon telling Brooke they could have a future together if he wasn't engaged to Quinn. He told his mother who was angry at Deacon at first but afterwards forgave him.

Quinn and Deacon send out e-vites to their wedding ceremony. Rick and Maya declined. Brooke stated she's not coming and Quinn asked her to come for Deacon's sake Brooke claimed she wouldn't.  Quinn and Deacon asked Carter to be the one to marry them and he hesitantly agreed. Brooke called Hope from Milan to stop Deacon and Quinn's wedding. Brooke stopped by Spencer Publications to inform them that Bill and Katie that she's planning on stoppoing the wedding. Bill was indifferent and wanted the two people he despises to be together.

On Deacon and Quinn's wedding day, Wyatt was the only guest at his Beach House.  Brooke crashed the wedding with a laptop showing a live video chat with Hope. Hope tried guilt tripping Deacon into not marrying Quinn. Hope stated it would strain their relationship threatened to exclude him from her life once again. Deacon told Hope sorry and told Brooke to leave. Wyatt gave Quinn and Deacon his blessing. Quinn had Carter pull out her surprise and he pulled out a jeweled cloth and tied it around their intertwined hands symbolizing them being tied to each other and they got married! Brooke stopped over at Bill's office again to inform Bill and Katie her attempt failed.

Rick told Brooke he was going to propose to Maya which Brooke was happy for him but concerned that he's just jumping out of one marriage to another.

After Brooke and Eric kept favoring Rick about his position, Ridge decided to quit, which hurt Eric because he's his son and greatest asset to Forrester. Ridge told Carter he quit and right when Ridge was fleeing out the door, Carter stopped him to tell him something important. Carter blurted out to Ridge that Maya is transgender. Ridge was shocked and actually felt bad for Little Ricky. Ridge re-asked for his job back and then told Eric and Brooke who Maya really is. Eric and Brooke were amazed and Eric wouldn't let Ridge humiliate Rick like that. Brooke appointed herself the one to tell Rick. Brooke confronted Maya about her and Rick's honesty and her not being who she really is. Brooke called her Myron and stated she knows. Maya was devastated and asked who told Brooke and she was shocked to hear it was Ridge. Maya stated she'll tell Rick when he proposes which they agreed they both know is soon. Brooke insisted Maya wouldn't humiliate him like that, down on one knee, to tell him. Maya insisted she won't accept unless he accepts all of her. Maya told Rick the secret up in Big Bear Cabin and Rick was angry but understanding. Bill published Maya's secret through Spencer Publications and Rick called it an embarrassment, making Maya upset and she drove off with Rick racing behind her. Rick accidentally crashed is car off the side of the road. Rick arrived at the Forrester Mansion recovering. Rick insisted he had to find Maya but Brooke insisted he needed to rest. However, Rick and Maya stayed together after the situation.
