Brooke Logan
By Matt
Back in 1987, Brooke was a young student attending her valley
college and engaged to a policeman named Dave Reed. Brooke was
from a modest family with a modest income. Her mother, Beth, had
raised Brooke and her siblings on her own. Stephen Logan, their
father, had jumped town long before. Brooke harbored a secret
crush on Ridge Forrester who was from the illustrious Forrester
family and was already a big designer. Later on that year, Brooke
met Ridge while she was catering a Forrester party (her mother
managed a catering business.) There was immediate chemistry
between the two, but Ridge was engaged to Caroline Spencer.
Stephanie interfered with Brooke and Ridge to assure he would
marry Caroline.
After being shut
down with Ridge, Brooke developed an interest in Eric Forrester,
Stephanie’s long time husband, whose eye had already wandered in
the past. Eventually, Eric divorced Stephanie and he and Brooke
were married. The marriage didn’t last long however, though a
son, Eric Forrester Jr. (Rick) was born. Brooke and Ridge were on
again and off again throughout the years and for a while Bridget
was thought to be Brooke and Ridge’s child, not Brooke and
Eric’s. After Taylor was presumed dead in a Middle East plane
crash in 1994, Brooke and Ridge were married. Taylor made it back
to town and Brooke and Ridge’s marriage was declared invalid,
though they remained together. The happy couple didn’t last long
though, and eventually they split up. Brooke had a pseudo
relationship with Grant Chambers and even married him, though the
marriage was invalid because the preacher was a fake. Grant was
shot by Rick, who of course didn’t remember it, so Ridge took the
blame. Grant hid the truth per Ridge’s request. After Ridge was
cleared, he and Brooke reunited and were married in early 1998.
However, once Ridge found out that Brooke had hid Taylor’s child’s
paternity from him, he left her to be with Taylor and his new son
Thomas.
Brooke tried to
win Ridge back the rest of that year, but eventually gave up and
set her sights on Thorne who was in an off period with Macy. Macy
and Thorne did reunite though, but Brooke didn’t give up. After a
mix-up in Italy, Brooke kissed Ridge and Thorne hastily married
Macy. Brooke was made aware of Ridge and Eric’s deception and was
furious. She continued to pursue Thorne and made very little
effort to keep this from Macy. The whole storyline came to a head
when Brooke brought divorce papers to the Big Bear cabin for Macy
to sign. Macy became hostile and hijacked Brooke’s car. Brooke
hopped in and eventually Macy crashed the car into a tanker
truck. Brooke was injured but survived. After a few months of
flip-flopping, she and Thorne were together and married in early
2001. Brooke spent the next few months interfering with Rick and
Amber’s recently rekindled relationship. She stood up for Amber
at her wedding, but wasn’t thrilled to do it. She and Thorne’s
marriage ended when he overheard her admit to Deacon that she had
settled for Thorne. Her true love was Ridge.
After that, Brooke decided to
get Ridge back though he had been married to Taylor for years.
Taylor, Massimo, and Stephanie conspired to get Brooke out of the
picture by paying off her father Stephen to pretend he was dying.
Brooke fell for it and moved to Paris to be near her ailing
father. Eventually he admitted the truth, and Brooke was sure she
had won Ridge over after revealing Taylor’s deception. Ridge
didn’t leave Taylor and Brooke was devastated. During an
extremely weak moment, she slept with Deacon Sharpe, Bridget’s
husband. She became pregnant and made some attempt to keep
everything quiet. Eventually Stephanie found out the truth and
demanded she marry Whip Jones, the man who had pretended to be the
father of her baby. Brooke did, but eventually Bridget found out
the truth. Brooke gave birth to a baby girl who she eventually
named Hope Logan. She and Whip divorced and for a while Brooke
was just trying to be a mom to her kids and repair her
relationship with Bridget. After Taylor was killed, she tried to
be a supportive friend to Ridge and keep the peace with
Stephanie. However, eventually the two began seeing each other,
much to Stephanie’s chagrin. The two had a cool off period after
Ridge found out what Brooke did with Deacon, but now they seem to
be continuing with their relationship that is until she found out
about Ridge’s new feelings for Bridget. Since he and Bridget were
no longer half-siblings they had developed a romantic
“something.” Brooke was horrified and walked out on Ridge on
their wedding day. It was a flip-flop situation for a few weeks
until Brooke had enough and dumped Ridge. Of course that’s when
he realized he wanted Brooke and has begun to pursue her, despite
her recent dates with Nick Payne.
