Brookes Life
- there's always something going wrong..
Brooke's history in short(???).
* She's the daughter of Stephanie's most hated enemy, Eric's college sweetheart and first love, Beth Logan.
* Brooke fell in love with Ridge after befriending his fiancé Caroline. Caroline was in the hospital, it was her wedding day and just as she was about to walk down the isle into her waiting groom's arms...her father, Bill Spencer showed her some pics that a private dectective had taken of Ridge and a model named Alex in bed together. Caroline was devastated and as she struggled with this heartbreaking information, she attempted to walk down the isle but ended up collasping into Ridge's arms in a dead faint. Ridge rushed her to the hospital. Caroline didn't want to talk to Ridge or her father when she regained consciousness at the hospital. But she did find comfort talking to the pretty, young candy striper who was so friendly. In fact Caroline took to her immediately. The candy striper confessed that she had heard about the wedding events on the news and had come to the hospital just to see Caroline and her friends and family. Caroline respected the girls honsty and liked her warm and friendly demeanor, and so began the friendship of Brooke and Caroline.

* When Ridge and Taylor came back from their honeymoon Ridge found out about the baby andasked that the baby be tested for paternity since Brooke had also slept with Eric. Taylorjumped on Brooke for getting pregnant, and Brooke was so dieheartned that she decided toleave. But before she could she collapsed. Stephanie found her just in time tio preventSheila Carter, the new nurse, from injecting something in Brooke. When Brooke woke up shedecided to stay in town. She also decided not to go after Ridge again, because shebelieved he'd come back to her anyway.
* Taylor told Brooke she thought Brooke's obsession with Ridge was a mental illnes.
* Ridge was going to take Brooke on a tour of Europe to promote BeLieF, she was afraidRidge would go back to Brooke. But Ridge returned home alone. He said his marriage wasmore important to him and Brooke didn't return until she was about to give birth. Shestunned Ridge by admitting she was still very much in love with him. Brooke felt alone andbetrayed by all. Ridge did not want her and Stephanie blasted her. Taylor asked her to goback where she came from. In tears, Brooke went to Big Bear to be alone. There, shewent into labour Luckily Ridge realized how broken Brooke was and wanted to help her andhe ended up delivereing Bridget at the cabin, helped via the cellphone by Taylor.
* Ridge's and Taylors' marriage was in trouble. Taylor was constantly insecure whereBrooke was concerned and she was becoming attracted to her former mentor.
* Taylor kept telling Brooke that Ridge was only trying to get close to her to win thecompany back.
* Brooke by this time had actively started to pursue Ridge again. And she said to him ifhe followed her to Paris in company business she would return controlling interest ofForrester to him.

******** More to come later on this.************
* Ridge left her alone in a time when she really needed him.Brooke had just come back from Barbados and was still recovering from her breakdown andstill Ridge left for Paris and left her alone with the children. So she turned to Grant.They became really close during this period of time. And he supported her, let her seethat she had the strength she needed to go on with her life even though she found out thatBridget wasn't Ridge's daughter.
* Brooke tried to convince Ridge that the Kiss didn't mean anything. But Ridge was toproud to admit that he had made a mistake proposing to Taylor. Brooke threatened to marryGrant if he went ahead with his marriage to Taylor. Nothing she said could convince Ridgethat she loved him and him alone. Or he just didn't care.
* Brooke went ahead and married Grant. But Ridge was there to try and stop the wedding.Taylor found out and she and Ridge never got married. Her husband is demanding to let hertake control over Forrester so she herself can concentrate on forgetting she ever hadanything to do with Ridge Forrester and his family. The members of that family has onlycaused her grief.
* When Brooke found out Bridget wasn't Ridge's daughter nobody believed that she hadn'tknown. Nothing about Sheila's tampering with the paternity test came up. Not even Eric,the one and only that always stood by her of the Forrester family believed her. God knowsshe hadn't always been able to count on Ridge. First it was Caroline and then Taylor thatconstantly came between them. No matter how close they came to marrying one anothersomething always managed to get in their way.
Not only once but several times had it been Ridge's mother Stephanie. Stephanie was theone who told Ridge she had seen her and Grant kissing, and then sending him off to BigBear and seeing that good bye kiss. Constantly she had been badmouthing Brooke to Ridgeand even if he didn't believe his mom, when finally something happened that might havebeen reason enough for Ridge not to trust her he starts believing all the lies Stephanieever told about her.
* Brooke had always believed thatone day she and Ridge would get married and be happy together. No matter what Stephaniedid. But now it seemed like the story had come to its final ending. So much lay betweenthem.Taylor, the Forrester company. Stephanie's meddling. Not to mention that she had goneahead with her threat to marry Grant. She had been so sure that Ridge would stop thewedding. And he had come to do just that. but too late. And the wedding was a fact. Whenfinally accepting or at least trying to accept that hers and Ridge's ten year love sagahad come to its end, Brooke tries to accept hers and Grant's marriage. Tries to forgetRidge, but it is hard. Ten years of deeply felt love and passion aren't so easilydismissed no matter how bad she wants it to. She and Grant have yet to consummate theirmarriage, and it isn't because of Grant. Brooke knows that he loves her, but she cannotforget about Ridge who has been the true love for her her entire adult life |
Brooke is trying very hard tobe a good wife to Grant, but she can't get herself to share his bed. She can't get thelove of her life - Ridge - out of her mind. |
* Grant testifies on Ridge's behalf and he is released. The joyis immense. But during the time Ridge has been in jail he has tried to encourage Taylor togo on with her life, and she has, with Thorne. Brooke on the other hand through Thornefinds out that her marriage to Grant isn't legal and she decides she wants out. Grant isstock raving mad and gets so angry he even hurts Brooke physically. In this instance Ridgeenters the house through the glass of Brooke's french doors. He comes to the rescue onceagain to his maiden in destress - Brooke. Taylor whom has decided to pick up herrelationship with Ridge instead of pursuing happiness with Thorne finds out abou this andsuffers from a severe stomach cramp. She goes to the doctor. And guess what...
Above: | * Taylor is pregnant and does not want Ridge tofind out the baby is his so she goes along with Thorne. He is still in love with her andBrooke thinks Taylor is in love with Thorne carrying his baby. And so does Ridge. SinceBrooke's and Grants "marriage" is no longer an issue she reveals to Ridge thathe is the reason. She still loves him and always will, and finally she is able to go afterRidge again. And of course she does. Ridge however is as wavering as always... * He can't think of anything but Taylor and Brooke is doing what she can to revitalize thelove they have always had for each other. *******More additions to this coming later ********* |
