BROOKE ENGLISH'S HISTORY
As a rebellious teen, Brooke came to Pine Valley to be raised by her rich aunt. Under Aunt Phoebe's watchful eye, Brooke grew into a responsible young woman, became a reporter and met and married Tom Cudahy. They became the parents of a daughter, Laura, who was later tragically killed by a drunk driver. Brooke was shattered and Tom became an alcoholic, leaving the marriage. Brooke found some relief when she gave birth to Jamie, fathered by Tad Martin. They have maintained a strong friendship for the sake of their son.
The string of men in Brooke's life looks like a list of those discarded by Erica Kane, and Brooke is frequently reminded of that by Erica and none too kindly. After Tad, Brooke had a brief relationship with a reclusive artist, that ended when his former love returned and reclaimed his heart. She found solace in her adolescent adopted daughter, also named Laura.
On a return flight from New York, accompanied by Edmund, Maria and Maddie Grey, the plane crashed and all aboard were killed except Edmund, Maddie, Brooke and a man named, Jim. Being a reporter, Brooke teamed with him to try to determine why the plane had crashed, and discovered he had known Laura in the past and had taken pornographic pictures of her. As Brooke and Jim's relationship deepened, she eventually realized he was only after her money and had been instrumental in the plane crash. When she confronted him with evidence, they argued, and she shot him. She was exonerated at a later trial. (Only in soap operas can you get away with murder.)
Brooke busied herself in community service, had a brief fling with Dimitri Marick, and then fell for Revered Eliot Freeman. She turned him away when she later learned that he had assumed a new name and was really the man behind the wheel when her darling Laura was killed.
Working with Edmund at Tempo Magazine brought him and Brooke closer together, and eventually the two became engaged. Their marriage was destined for happiness until Brooke spied a woman she believed to be Maria Grey. When Maureen Gorman's memory returned, Brooke confessed that she had known that Maria was alive for some time, and Brooke's marriage with Edmund was annulled allowing him to reunite with Maria. Brooke fell into Adam Chandler's bed and swore him to secrecy, but Jamie found out. It didn't last because Brooke still loved Edmund.
Brooke's relationships were put on the back burner when Jamie became involved with JR Chandler's wife, Babe, and believed he might be the father of the baby she carried. To Brooke's relief the child was JR's. Her joy was short-lived as Edmund was found dead in a barn at Wildwind and she discovered she, rather than Maria, had been named executor of his will.
Brooke, always with a good heart, looked after the needs of Edmund's children, and even took in Amanda Dillon, a past love of son, Jamie's, when Amanda's mother was found to be the responsible one for the blast at the masquerade ball. While Brooke's appearances of late have been sporadic, her story lines throughout the years have always been very touching ones.

Adam pulls Annie out and asks what she saw in there! Annie doesn't answer, but changes the subject, saying she heard them planning to keep her busy. She demands to know what they are up to! Adam cooks up a story about an assignment they're planning at Tempo, and asks Annie what she was doing in the tunnels. Annie stammers, but eventually says she is reading about the underground railroad and wanted to feel what it was like. Adam leaves the room and Brooke tells her she's lying - she was spying on her and Adam! Annie finds it difficult to deny she was eavesdropping. Brooke begins talking about Tempo and what she wants for a cover story, but Annie doesn't listen - she imagines Brooke and Adam cuddling and conspiring to get rid of her. When she snaps out of it, she tells Brooke she's sorry - she can't work with her today!
Thursday, March 18 2010: About To Explode!
Annie goes downstairs to the living room of the Chandler Mansion. Brooke walks in and says that she has had the cook clear out all of the junk food, and also had the staff remove the liquor from the house because Adam is easily tempted! Annie wonders what else she is doing to look after her husband! Brooke goes to the kitchen and Annie picks up her phone - she sees Adam's name on it. Annie goes to the study, and Brooke wanders back in. Adam asks her to keep Annie busy with Tempo business. Brooke wonders why, but he won't tell her. They bicker about his health. Inside the wall, David is listening!
Annie sneaks upstairs and snoops - she notices the passage behind the wall and smiles, saying, "That's the best you can do, huh, Brooke." She gets a flashlight and goes into the wall passage. She hears Adam tells Brooke to keep Annie busy so she's not suspicious of what they're doing, and then hears a noise up ahead - she points her flashlight and asks, "Who's there?"
