The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

I wonder if bradley bell realizes how he bascially has destroyed the character of brooke logan. I've watched this show since its premiere and at one time brooke was a very well written she was a sexy,outrageous,wild,intelligent and singleminded woman determined to get what or who she wanted. Now she's just a woman who can't be without a man.
Whenever they venture to write her as someone who is ok with being an independent woman able to stand on her own without ridge or nick they revert back to making her this pathetic sad person who can't live without a man in her life who goes to such extreme measures to get that man that it makes her look crazy.
The last straw for me was when she left ridge because he hit rick. I'm sorry but that relationship is wrong and incestious you dont' stop thinking of someone you've known for years as your uncle because it came out they aren't your blood relative and what does brooke do she leaves ridge and runs straight for another man. What the heck is wrong with this woman... who does this. So I ask you Mr. bradley bell if you care about your show why are you taking such efforts to destroy this core character.

I have a totally different perspective where Brooke is concerned. This character has always been selfish and used men and sex as her medicine whenever she's feeling down. It's sad that after 20 years reel time, Brooke is the same selfish, needy, indecisive girl-woman she was from day one of this soap. Where is her growth? And her silly excuse to dump Ridge in order to run after Nick again is simply pathetic. The writers should have come up with a more believable scenario. My only hope is that one day soon, we viewers will see that the past few months was only a bad dream that Taylor dreamed while recovering from the boating accident.

This is classic Brooke...they didn't destroy her, they're keeping her true to form. She repeats the same patterns over and over again. I have watched this show off and on since it premiered (I'm a more loyal watcher since Y&R has tanked) and Brooke is just as I've always seen and remembered her: a hoochie who goes after whatever man suits her fancy while Ridge is with someone else.

I agree the writers have tunnel vision and refuse to allow the charaters to change. Brooke will always be written as a man chaser without morals. Thorne second best to ridge and bridget the forgiving long suffering daughter. I am not sure what they plan for rick who supports his mom as long as she agree with him.
The writing is becoming too unbelievable for long time viewers. A change is definitely needed.

Y&R and B&B are the best shows out here (not my opinion, just fact). They must be doing something right. I think that keeping the characters the same is working for them.

GL's ratings are soo low, and that's because they are changing the core characters. We say we want it, but when it happens we can't accept it. JMO

Calpurnia, do you remember when Rachel was "H" on wheels? She gave poor Ada a hard time. She met Mac Corey and did a complete 360 switch. The old Rachel wwould surface every once in awhile when she thought some one was nessing with her children or Mac. Boy, those were the good old days. I guess all those writers have retired.

brooke is even more insane over her quest to want a man in her life to solve all of her problems.she has always been portrayed as the selfish bedhopper who will do anything to get a man away from a woman. its about winning with her and once she has her consolation prize she will lose interest in him and go back to chasing ridge until she has him back. that is classic brooke on this show.

I don't want BB to overhaul its core characters, but it would be nice that we see a little change every once in a while. Brooke can chase her men, but does she still have to be portrayed as indecisive as she was as a young 20-year-old?

Brooke will never change, she will always be the same man chaser she always was. The funny thing is when it comes to a choice between Brooke & Taylor, Taylor always wins out. Brooke is nothing compared to Taylor.
I know everyone is going to say that Taylor did lose Ridge to Brooke in the end but look how that turned out.
I'm glad that Nick smartened up and chose Taylor over Brooke he was right she does make him a better man, and they will make great parents together. I don't like Brooke and I really don't think she is a good parent to any of her children. What kind of mother goes after both of her daughters husbands, and I can't believe the conversation she had with Rick about whether or not he was okay with not having sex with Phoebe because she wanted to wait.
She gets off a plane from Australia and instead of going home to her little kids, Hope & RJ she runs to Nick to jump his bones.
I only hope she keeps her promise to Taylor and leaves Nick alone now that he is married to Taylor and trying to have a family. Thanks for listening and as I always say this is JMO.

I was never a huge talyor fan but I have to agree with you, Ladyfran. Brooke is a very selfish person, her and Stephanie are not that far from each other. They both don't mind hurting others to get what they want, the good part for Brooke is that she doesn't go as far as Stephanie, but the good part for Stephanie is that she doesn't always do it just for herself

Brooke has become a very nasty woman.
