Date: 1990-1992.
Brooke and Eric got involved as he consoled her about her splitting family. She told him how Stephanie tracked down her father and how she sent him to Paris and also forced Beth to move with her husband to France. They had an affair and Brooke got pregnant. By this time, Eric was set to divorce Stephanie.

But as he came home to tell her, he found her collapsed on the floor. She was rushed to the hospital and it was confirmed that she had suffered a stroke. That made Eric think again about divorcing her, but soon after her recovery he decided that he wanted the divorce and marry Brooke and give their baby a name. He told Stephanie who laughed at him, thinking he was joking. But it wasn´t a joke.

She refused to give him a divorce after finding out about him and their son´s ex-girlfriend. Eric went to Las Vegas to get a quick divorce, but Stephanie rushed after him and stopped it. After meeting with her lawyer, Stephanie found out that the divorce would go through if she fought it or not, so she made a decision and went over to Brooke and Eric´s apartment. She agreed to give him the divorce the easy way on one condition; that they remained friends. He agreed and they got the divorce.

Brooke and Eric started planning their wedding, even though Brooke was still confused about her feelings for Ridge. Eric and Brooke had a fairytale wedding, a wedding Stephanie needed to attend. To see if Eric really could go through with marrying another woman. He did and it devastated Stephanie. Eric and Brooke had a wonderful honeymoon starting with a horse ride and a balloon ride to Palm Springs where they spent the night. They had a very happy few weeks together and their child, Eric Forrester Jr (Rick)

At home, Stephanie was mentally stressed about it all that she suffered another stroke. She ended up driving to a bad neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles where she was mugged. From the stroke, she had suffered amnesia and had forgotten everything about her life; her name, her family and her home. Her past was a complete blank. Adam and Ruthanne were two homeless people who took care of her.

After weeks living on the streets as a homeless woman, Stephanie got home, still not remembering. Eric was relieved she was home and worried about her not remembering their family. Brooke wasn´t too thrilled about her new husbands concern for his ex-wife. She and Ridge talked about it and considered the thought that Eric might still be in love with Stephanie.

After some time, Stephanie finally got her memory back. She was happy about the progress she and Eric had made and didn´t want to ruin it. So she kept quiet about having her memory back to get closer to Eric. It worked. They became very good friends.

One evening, Eric took Stephanie to dinner at Pierre´s restaurant and they found Brooke and Ridge there, kissing. (Ridge was trying to make Taylor jealous, she was sitting with Blake on the other side of the restaurant). Eric asked Ridge to take Brooke home and Pierre reset the table for Eric and Stephanie. Stephanie ended up consoling Eric, telling him that Brooke got her own generation with Ridge but stability with Eric. It helped and Eric pushed it out of his mind.

Then one day, Eric found out Stephanie had her memory back. He wasn´t upset about it, he just thought she should have told him. They still remained the best of friends. After Caroline´s death, Ridge became available again and Brooke found herself thinking more and more about him. Stephanie realized they were still drawn to each other and as Eric was away on a trip, Stephanie hired a forgoer to write a letter to Brooke from “Eric”, saying that although he had loved Brooke, he wanted Stephanie back. Brooke saw the letter and she and Ridge got together.

Eric was in a car accident on his way back to L.A. Stephanie spent the night by his side at the hospital as Brooke was with Ridge. Brooke found out the letter was a fake and was angry with Stephanie. But her heart still belonged to Ridge. It was over between Brooke and Eric as Brooke wanted Ridge. They were about to move in together, but Ridge set her up thinking he was having an affairs with a model. All because he didn´t want to hurt his father by being with Brooke. It didn´t help since Brooke only wanted Ridge. But she slept with Eric one night when she was drunk. She forgot about it and turned pregnant. She was sure the baby was Ridge´s. But as it turned out, Bridget was Eric´s daughter. Brooke and Eric divorced.

The Forresters later found out that the Belief formula that Brooke had created for Forrester Creations was in Brooke´s name and not Forrester creations, as Brooke hadn´t been under contract. That was a big mistake as it turned out. Eric should have put Brooke under contract so Belief was owned by Brooke. And now when Brooke and Eric were divorced, the Forresters were afraid that Brooke would want Belief herself. So they had Ridge going over to Brooke to sign over Belief to the company. But Connor Davis, Brookes lawyer and friend, was suspisous and Brooke found out they were trying to get the rights of Belief. She wouldn´t have it and told them so – with a message. She would take Belief and sell it to another fashion house and by doing so, the Forresters would have had to back away with all of their designs that had the Belief formula in them, which was all designs. That way, Forrester Creations would go bankrupts. They had no chiose but to give in to Brooke´s demands. And she wanted 51% of the company! Eric, Stephanie and Ridge were absolutely furious with her and threw her out and the war had begun. Stephanie and Brooke got into a fight, with both slapping each other and screaming.

And just for that, Brooke decided she wanted an office at Forrester creations – Stephanie´s office. Stephanie was livid but there was nothing she could do about it. Brooke moved into Stephanie´s office and Stephanie had to settle with a smaller, less glorious office.

The was between Brooke and Stephanie continues still to this day and there´s no signs of any kind of truce – ever. Theses two just go at it, on and on, like that energizer bunny! And what fun it is! Here´s some extra pictures of theses two in action:
