Brief Character History
Brooke is the daughter of Beth and Stephan Logan, she studied chemistry in college, helped her mother in her catering business, and was engaged to police officer Dave Reed. Brooke was helping her family cater a party given by the Forrester family. Brooke was intrigued by them and their wealth and once she laid eyes on their oldest son Ridge, she was infatuated. Although Ridge was engaged to Caroline Spencer Brooke was determined to do whatever she could to break them up and have him for herself. Ultimately she failed and Ridge chooses Caroline.
Brooke decided to go after Eric, Ridge's father and became pregnant. Caroline died and Ridge turned to her Doctor Taylor Hayes and Brooke became jealous. Brooke gave birth to a baby boy, Eric Jr, and she married Eric, upsetting her mother (Eric's former lover). When Brooke finally discovered BeLieF (a product that prevents wrinkles in fabrics), she and Ridge made love on the floor of the lab. Brooke hoped to get back with Ridge but instead he proposed to Dr. Taylor Hayes. Against Eric's wishes he granted Brooke a divorce.
Eric applied for a patent on the BeLieF formula, but a lawyer pointed out that Brooke actually owned the rights to BeLieF since she had developed it while not technically an employee at Forrester. The Forrester's tried to get Brooke to sign away her rights to the product, which was the basis of Forrester's newfound success. But Connor Davis, Brooke's lawyer discovered what was going on. Furious and saddened by Ridge's betrayal, Brooke threatened to sue Forrester Creations for fraud. Eric was forced to give her 51 % of the stock in the company. Brooke found out she was pregnant and far into her pregnancy, lone at Big Bear she went into labor. Ridge soon arrived and delivered Bridget at the cabin, helped via a cell phone by Taylor. Brooke actively pursued Ridge backed by a paternity test that Shelia Carter had altered to say that Ridge was the father. Failing to break Ridge and Taylor up, Brooke eventually settled for Dr. James Warwick and the two became engaged, only to have a jealous Ridge stop their wedding.
After Taylor was presumed dead in a plane crash, Ridge and Brooke rekindled their romance and married in a ceremony on the beach, unaware that Taylor was actually alive and living as Princess Leia in Morocco. Taylor came back and wanted and Brooke's marriage to Ridge was declared invalid. After serious thought, Ridge decided that his place was with the mother of his child, and he and Taylor divorced so that he could marry Brooke legally. But as they were preparing to get married, a letter was found that hinted that Brooke was involved with bribing the doctor in charge of Bridget's paternity test. Bridget turned out to be Eric's biological child. This caused Brooke to fall into a catatonic state and disappear. Before Ridge found her in Barbados, totally unaware of whom she was, Eric and Stephanie got legal custody of her children. When Brooke finally recovered, they refused to give them back to her, pushing her to kidnap Rick and Bridget. Eventually Eric gave in.
Ridge was about to propose to Brooke when his mother manipulated him into thinking that She was being unfaithful with Grant Chambers. Devastated, Ridge decided to propose to Taylor on the runway at a Forrester fashion show. Ridge discovered the truth to late Brooke married Grant in a hasty ceremony. Soon thereafter Grant was shot. Ridge was tried for the attempted murder and Brooke was tortured by guilt over what she thought was her fault. It turned out Ridge and Grant was covering for Rick, who actually shot Grant out of hatred. Brooke was devastated to learn the news, and swore she would be there more for her children.
Brooke's marriage to Grant was soon discovered to be invalid. Brooke decided to pull out all the stops to break up Ridge and Taylor. Taylor had been preparing to tell Ridge that she was pregnant, but, after seeing the two, let Thorne pressure her into pretending the baby was his to let Ridge be happy with Brooke whom Taylor thought he had chosen. Thorne and Brooke joined forces to keep Taylor and Ridge apart. When Taylor began fighting back, insisting that Ridge had a right to know the truth, Brooke suddenly announced that she was pregnant. Taylor was suspicious and decided to stop Brooke and Ridge's wedding. Brooke moved the wedding up one hour to avoid Taylor arriving and telling Ridge the truth. Taylor went into labor on the way to the wedding, and Brooke and Ridge left on their honeymoon. Once they arrived, Brooke told Ridge that she miscarried the baby.
Brooke's world fell apart when Taylor went to Ridge and told him the truth and also told him about the role that Brooke played in her keeping quiet. Once Ridge realized the whole truth, not only that Brooke had sought to keep him permanently from his child, but also that she had lied about being pregnant, he had their marriage annulled and returned to Taylor and his son. This news had a horrible effect on Bridget as well, it took a long time for Bridget and Brooke to patch things up. After a brief thing with Pierce Peterson, Brooke decided to open up 'Brooke's Bedroom', much to the Forrester's dismay.
Brooke then spent much of her time trying to break her son's relationship with Nanny Amber who was quite a few months older. Brooke found comfort in her friendship with Thorne. They quickly feel in love much to the dismay of Stephanie who had a stroke when she found out about their relationship and Macy who loved Thorne. Eric and Ridge tricked her into kissing Ridge in front of Thorne during a trip to Venice. Thorne was crushed and before Brooke could explain, he married Macy on the rebound.
Thorne and Brooke couldn't fight their deep attraction and when Macy realized the truth she agreed to give Thorne a divorce. The night Macy planned on signing the papers Brooke show3ed up and an enraged Macy jumped in his car to drive away. Brooke realizing that it was unsafe for her to drive got in with her and but was unable to stop Macy from crashing the car killing herself and injuring Brooke. Despite various problems Thorne and Brooke were married in January, 2001.
Thorne annulled his marriage to Brooke when he realized that she still loved Ridge. When Brooke decided to go after Ridge again; Stephanie, Massamo, Stephen Logan and Taylor devised a plan to get Brooke away from Ridge by telling her that her father was gravelly ill in Paris. When she came back from Paris decided to involve herself with Bridget's marriage, by trying to convince Deacon to divorce Bridget, because she knew he didn't love her, she felt an increasing attraction to him that led to an affair. She tried to distance herself from him for fear of hurting her daughter, but soon discovered herself to be pregnant!
Brooke tried to hide her pregnancy by running away but was forced to return to save her company. She fired Ridge and gave her children jobs. Stephanie retaliated by exposing Brooke's pregnancy but Whipple Jones took responsibility to save Brooke's reputation. . Brooke tried to break off with Deacon by moving to Paris but they continued on with their affair. Brooke' guilt was beginning to be to much for her and when Whipple proposed she accepted thinking that would keep Bridget from finding out the truth. Unfortunately Bridget overheard Brooke and Deacon on the baby monitor. Bridget confronted her mother at the Big Bear Cabin causing her to go into labor. Stephanie and Bridget helped deliver Hope. Deacon later met his daughter and then said goodbye to her. He left town because he knew as long as he was around Brooke would never be able to repair her relationship with Bridget. Shortly after Whip realizing Brooke would never love him filed for an annulment and transferred to Paris.
Everyone's lives changed when Sheila Carter came back to town. Sheila held Taylor and Eric at gun point in the Forrester home. Unwittingly, Brooke walked into the living room carrying a bottle of breast milk she'd left behind earlier in Eric's fridge. Brooke ran when Taylor told her to, dropping the bottle and startling Sheila. Brooke turned back to help when Taylor and Eric took advantage of Sheila's surprise and began fighting for the gun. Brooke and Taylor were shot in the scuffle. Taylor later died, but Brooke survived.
After Taylor's death, Brooke began to mend her relationship with Bridget. They remarried and a few hours later Shelia Carter kidnapped Ridge and despite help fro, Nick Ridge fell into a hot oven and was presumed dead. Ridge came back from the dead, but when she learned she was pregnant and a paternity test indicated Nick was the father, Brooke had their marriage annulled.
Brooke could not get Ridge out of her head or her heart. When Brooke unexpectedly went into labor early, Ridge was there for her, and he helped her deliver her baby boy. They were both shocked and happy to learn that Ridge was the baby's father and they named him Ridge Forrester Jr., and later she and Ridge agreed with Thomas' suggestion to call the baby R.J. Brooke and Ridge married again after R.J.'s birth, but that marriage was proved invalid when Ridge's presumed-dead wife Taylor came back, very much alive.
Ridge once again broke Brooke's heart when he chooses to be with Taylor. Brooke then realized that the true love of her life was none other than her daughter Bridget's husband Nick and they could not deny their passion. Brooke was determined not to let the situation with Deacon repeat itself and told Nick that they could never be together, and he needed to be with Bridget. Ridge and Taylor's marriage broke up and he once again turned to Brooke.
Brooke decided to accept Ridge's proposal, encouraging Nick to stay with Bridget. But in the middle of the wedding ceremony Nick rushed in and swept Brooke up in his arms and carried her upstairs. Brooke was being pulled in two directions but finally decided that it was Nick that she needed to be with. Massimo drove Ridge to Brooke's house and soon after Nick quietly entered and saw them in a compromising position that looked like they were together again. Nick left and ended up on the Shady Marlin with a drunken Taylor. Brooke, realizing that Nick had seen them and misinterpreted what was going on, went to the Shady Marlin where she saw Nick and Taylor passed out in bed together.
Brooke forgave Nick but told him that out of respect for Bridget they had to wait to be together till he was divorced. When Ridge came to see her, she gave him back her engagement ring. They declared their love for each other and began planning for their future, a future that definitely involved Brooke's children whom Mick loved, especially Hope.
Brooke started taking anti anxiety pills to help her get through the revelations that talking with her father caused. Ridge ended up sleeping with a heavily medicated Brooke. Nick was upset but Brooke told him that she didn't hold Ridge responsible. Brooke told a devastated Ridge that she was going to be with Nick. During a heated argument with his mother Ridge collapses due to a ruptured artery near his heart. He only wants Brooke making Stephanie feel guilty for all the years she spent trying to keep them apart. Stephanie finds Brooke on vacation in Mexico with Nick and talks her into returning to help Ridge through his medical problem. In return she would welcome her into the family with open arms. Stephanie was right Brooke's return helped Ridge heal.
Stephanie shocked everyone when she announced her retirement as CEO from Forrester and gifted Brooke with 50% of the company. Nick had Taylor's 2% giving them control; Nick immediately fired Eric, Stephanie, & Ridge. Brooke decided not to resign but wouldn't go along with Nick's actions as she wanted the Forrester's in their company she told Nick she had everything she wanted - a place in the company she loved and the man she loved and wanted to marry.
At the next Fashion show Ridge pulled Brooke into an embrace and kissed her sending the press into frenzy. Nick was livid but Brooke thought it was just good publicity and their wedding plans continued. Brooke and Ridge shared one last night together and she gave Ridge an album to save for RJ so he could see what an incredible love story they shared. Stephanie was not giving up and tried one more plan to break them up. Brooke had modeled nude for publicity shots for Brooke's bedroom. Although Brooke decided not to use them Stephanie had them blown up where Nick would see them as he married Brooke. Nick wasn't happy and for a moment it seemed as though he would not marry her but, after talking, the wedding took place and they became husband and wife and went off on their honeymoon.
Brooke's Sister Donna came to town and didn't like Nick. Brooke decided to step down from running Brooke's Bedroom to concentrate on her responsibilities as CEO. Needing a new spokesperson, she decided to offer Donna the position. Ridge, mourning the loss of his inspiration, was no longer designing. Donna offered him inspiration and their relationship began to be personal and intimate. Once Brooke became aware of their growing friendship she became livid and demanded it stop. Donna was surprised that Brooke wanted her to resign her position and refused. Ridge and Donna continued to see each other and Brooke continued to not like it. Brooke at Nick's request sat in on a Marone Board meeting and offered good advice but her heart wasn't in it. Her attention was diverted to Ridge and his ongoing relationship with Donna. When Ridge kissed Donna at the next fashion show, it was more than Brooke could stand. She went to talk with Ridge and it ended in them kissing. Donna was watching from the side and immediately went and told Nick what she had seen.
Brooke tried to explain what happened and begged Nick to give their marriage another chance, but Nick was crushed and took off his wedding rings. In a moment of weakness and despair, he spent the night making love with Bridget. Bridget and Nick were guilt ridden for what they had done and didn't tell Brooke. Brooke was relieved and happy when Nick said he was willing to give their relationship another chance and told Ridge that she would be staying with Nick.
Bridget discovered she was pregnant and determined that Nick was the father. After much soul searching she decided she had to tell her mother. Before she did, Brooke and Nick renewed their wedding vows and after the service Bridget told Nick that she was pregnant with his baby. Eric had a conversation with Brooke and told her that Ridge was paying for her father's mistakes and what would happen if Nick made a mistake too?
Bridget and Nick started meeting to discuss her pregnancy and how it would impact his marriage and her relationship with her mother. Brooke confided in a disappointed Jackie that she and Nick would not be having any children. Nick took Brooke out on the Shady Marlin and told her that he had been unfaithful and as hard as it was for him to say and for her to hear, he had to be truthful, he had slept with her daughter and she was pregnant. Brooke flew into a rage and pushed Nick off the boar, throwing him a life preserver. Then she ran straight to Ridge's arms leaving a despondent Donna watching them reunite.
Bridget found out that she was farther along in her pregnancy than she thought meaning Nick could not be the father. After Bridget told him, Nick tried to reach Brooke to let her know he wasn't the father, but it was too little, too late.
Stephanie's actions gave Nick leverage to get Forrester Creations away from the Forrester's. He said he would have Stephanie prosecuted if they didn't sign the company over. Eric talked the family into it over Stephanie's objections. Brooke made a decision to sell Nick her shares and joined forces with Ridge and the Forrester family, turning her back on Nick and their marriage.
When Rick and Phoebe started dating Ridge was against it and told Rick to stay away from his daughter. Brooke, on the other hand, saw it as an innocent flirtation. Problems with the business and the relationship developing between Rick and Phoebe began to strain Brooke and Ridge's relationship.
The show celebrated its 25th anniversary by having Rick, Brooke, Stephanie and Eric vacationing together at the Big Bear Cabin. There Brook and Ridge inadvertently observed Stephanie and Eric in bed. The two couples came together to support Eric's plans for a new company. Brooke and Stephanie shared a tender moment when Brooke told Stephanie that no matter what, she knew she loved her, putting a smile on Stephanie's face.
Tensions grew between Brooke and Stephanie and Ridge and Rick. Stephanie was angry that Brooke was accepting of her son's relationship with Phoebe and Rick blamed Ridge for their business problems as well as his refusal to allow his relationship with Phoebe. Ridge and Brooke decided to marry at the opening of their new Forrester Originals Boutique on Rodeo Drive. After discovering that Rick and Phoebe were going to Big Bear, Ridge, Stephanie and Brooke went there and confronted them. They gave their word that they would stop seeing each other.
Taylor and Nick became engaged at the same time that Ridge, Brooke, Phoebe and Rick went to Australia to launch a new company project. Jackie and Donna were working together to break up Ridge and Brooke by encouraging Phoebe to be with Rick. Donna arranged for them to have a room together and then, when she knew they were there, let Ridge know. Ridge tore into the room in a rage and physically attacked Rick. Brooke, furious that Ridge had injured her son, left Ridge and ran back to LA and into Nick's arms and bed. Nick, shocked by her actions, rebuffed Brooke gently telling her he had moved on and was engaged to Taylor who walked into the room to find Brooke on top of Nick.
Brooke tried everything she could think of to persuade Nick that she was finished with Ridge, but Nick stayed true to Taylor and told her that they were planning to have their own family. Brooke was hopeful when she found out that the results of Taylor's pregnancy test were negative. Taylor discovered her eggs were not viable and that her only option to have Nick's baby was by a donor egg and invitro-fertilization. Brooke decided to find out if her eggs were viable and, if so, she would be able to give Nick the child he wanted. On their wedding day Taylor and Nick were told that a donor egg was available so immediately after the marriage, Taylor was implanted.
Brooke overheard Stephanie's phone call with Ridge and realized that it was Ridge who was involved in Shane's McGrath's death, not Nick. Stephanie took action by kidnapping Brooke and taking her to Big Bear where she threatened her with harm if she didn't keep quiet. Brooke managed to gain control of the situation with Stephanie and convinced her and Ridge to tell the truth about what they did concerning Shane McGrath's death.
Not long after telling Taylor that she was pregnant, Bridget began to have serious doubts about who was actually the donor. Once Brooke had found out her eggs were viable but Nick had no desire to have a baby with her, she decided to donate her eggs for research. Bridget was fearful that those were the eggs that had been mistakenly implanted in Taylor. Although Brooke admitted to Jackie that she wished she was the one carrying Nick's baby, she decided that it was time to move on and she resigned from Forrester Creations and rejoined the Forrester family at Ridge's request at Forrester Originals, much to Stephanie's chagrin.
Ridge had begun a relationship with Ashley and Brooke didn't like it, actually warning Ashley that Ridge would always return to her. When she confronted Ridge with her love, Ridge told her he could forgive her for canceling their wedding but not rushing straight into Nick's arms. He told her he was through with her and his future was with Ashley.
Brooke watched Ridge and Ashley at the Forrester 4th of July celebration and was devastated. On the way home she became overwhelmed and pulled her car to the side of the road, meaning to rest her eyes for a moment but fell fast asleep. Donna was at home with the children and heard what she thought was Brooke's car pulling in to the drive and left. The children were alone and fearful resulting in Hope called 911 looking for her 'lost mommy." Dorothy from Child Protective Services became involved and called Stephanie who she was friendly with. An overwrought Brooke sought out counseling from Taylor. Although Taylor didn't want to counsel her in a professional capacity she listened to Brooke open up about her doubts and insecurities, herself and her parenting ability .
Child Protective Services became involved again not long after. Nick had visited Brooke's children and his lighter. Later, while Brooke was fixing them dinner, the children played with the lighter and accidentally caught the living room on fire. Coincidentally Ridge arrived, saved the children, and helped put out the fire. Ridge was not happy with Brooke and later he joined forces with his mother to keep Brooke from her kids resulting in Brooke going to court and proving her competency to be their custodial parent. Brooke lost temporary custody in part because of damaging testimony from Taylor.
Nick, as always defensive of Brooke, rehired her with Taylor's reluctant OK. While at Cafe Russe a man named Andy accidentally spilled his drink on Brooke. Later Stephanie had a chance meeting with the man and realized that he was interested in Brooke and began pushing him towards her. She told him that Brooke was not beyond him, she was a typical woman who ate oatmeal every day and put her house keys under the flower pot. Andy seemed like a nice man and Brooke ended up opening up to him about her children. Brooke was only concerned with getting custody of her children back and was ecstatic when Dorothy said she would arrange for another hearing before the judge so she could plead her case.
Andy went to see Brooke who rebuffed him. After calling Stephanie from outside the home he recalled Stephanie's words and found the key that actually was under the flower pot, went in, savagely attacked Brooke, and raped her. As he was leaving she told him she would call the police and he said she needed to think before she acted if she ever wanted to see her children again.
The next day Dorothy came to have a meeting with a disheveled, incoherent, Brooke. She was afraid to tell Dorothy the truth so she left thinking the worst of Brooke. Brooke opened up to Bridget and Ridge telling them she was afraid to go to the police for fear she would lose her children. Ridge found out Andy had an accomplice and, enraged, went to find Andy. They confronted each other on the roof of a tall building and Andy taunted him by telling him he wouldn't believe who is accomplice was. Ridge attacked him and Andy accidentally fell into an electrical antenna and died. Ridge returned the kids to a grateful Brooke. A despondent but determined Brooke moved back in her home with her kids ready to begin a life without Ridge or Nick.
Ridge and Brooke patched things up but Brooke was experiencing flashbacks of her sexual attack and didn't tell anyone. Ridge was determined to find out who the accomplice was but it was Eric who put it together. He called everyone together and said that Stephanie had gone too far this time. Bridget confided to Nick that it was possible that it could have been Brooke's egg that was implanted in Taylor. Ridge told Brooke that he couldn't have a relationship with her, but Brooke found an engagement ring and gleefully tried it on just as Ashley came through the door. Ridge had to tell Brooke the ring was for Ashley, not her. Jackie and Nick revived the Brooke's Bedroom line in order to compete with Forrester Originals. Moments before Brooke was to walk down the runway scantily clad she had a melt down and couldn't do it. Ridge came to her rescue eventually talking her into seeking counseling for her rape. Ridge's involvement with Brooke put a strain on his relationship with Ashley so he confided in her about Brooke being raped. Brooke was drawn to Ridge and Ashley wasn't happy about it. She accused Brooke of using the rape as a way to get Ridge back. Brooke gave Ridge a photo album of pictures of their life together and told him that she wanted to be with the father of her youngest child. Ridge tried to set boundaries but he was being drawn to her to and they kissed passionately. Taylor and Brooke found out the truth, Brooke was the egg donor.
Stephanie arrived home and was informed of her part in Brooke's rape. She was devastated and profusely apologized to an enraged Brooke. Brooke released all the frustrations, anger, hurt, and hate, on Stephanie telling her she would not accept her apology. Brooke told Ridge the truth about Jack's paternity, begging him for another chance. She pleaded with Ridge to be together as a family again and that she would love only him. Finally Ridge told her that he loved her too and they slept together.
Ridge broke of his engagement to Ashley. Although Taylor was having problems bonding with her son, Brooke signed papers that relinquished her rights to baby Jack. Brooke had problems fighting her feelings for baby Jack. When Ridge said her obsession with the baby could ruin their future she told him she would no longer think of him as her baby. But Brooke couldn't keep away from Jack and met with Nick on the Shady Marlin to discus it. They decided that it would be good to be on big happy family. Ridge and Taylor declined.
At the Forrester Christmas party Brooke showed up, hoping to talk Stephanie into having sympathy for her brother Storm who had shot her. They came to an understanding - Brooke would have Donna break off with Eric and Stephanie would say she didn't know who shot her.
Taylor had serious problems accepting Brooke's connection to Jack. Jack drew Brooke and Nick together and they began to meet. Brooke was having a hard time staying away from the baby.
Everyone was putting pressure on Brooke and Nick to be truthful about their feelings for one another. Nick met with Brooke after a session with Dr. Warwick and told her that he had been truthful about his feelings. He was then honest with Taylor telling her that he still loved Brooke but wanted a life with her and Jack. Taylor moved out leaving Nick alone and vulnerable. He reached out to Brooke, thinking that she felt the same and would start a life with him. Brooke did admit that she would always love him and they kissed passionately but she was committed to a life with Ridge., She told him that even though she loved him, she also loved Ridge and this was her last chance to be with him and be a Forrester.
Brooke was torn between the two men and her sister Katie implored her not to give in to Nick, that if she did she would lose all chances for a life with Ridge. Katie pushed her niece Bridget to go after Nick. Ridge walked in on an intimate moment between Brooke, Nick and Jack and angrily told Brooke it was time to go. Nick stood up and said she didn't have to, she was a grown woman and she could speak for herself. Without saying anything but giving Nick a long lingering look, Brooke got up and left with Ridge leaving Nick devastated.
As time passed she became more and more concerned about baby Jack because Taylor was drinking. Brooke help Nick decide to get full custody of Jack, and in court Taylor lost control and verbally attacked Brooke which the judge overheard and was a major factor in him giving Nick temporary custody. Rick was there comforting Taylor and Brooke didn't like it.
Bridget was taking care of Jack and becoming romantically involved with Nick. When Brooke realized it, she confronted Nick telling him to stay away from her daughter. When Bridget heard, she blasted her mother to keep out of it. She had given Nick up for her once and she would not do it again. Nick told Brooke that she had made her choice and he was moving on.
Taylor visited Ridge and told him that a relationship with Brooke would never work now that they had Jack. Brooke told her daughter that she would not interfere in her relationship with Nick. Brooke's attentions were being drawn to Rick's relationship with Taylor. Rick told his mother that he loved Taylor. Nick began to let Taylor see more of Jack and Brooke didn't like it; she tried to block Taylor from taking jack from Nick's house, but Nick disregarded her wishes and Taylor left with her son. Brooke threatened Taylor numerous times to stay away from Rick. She also warned Nick that Taylor was unstable. She warned or threatened that she would take Jack away from Taylor but during the custody hearing, the judge told Brooke that what she thought or felt had no bearing. Since Nick had no objections to Taylor having joint custody and Taylor's psych evaluation was good, the judge gave Taylor back her rights. While still in court, Brooke was horrified when Rick professed his love for Taylor and asked her to marry him.
Brooke didn't like that Ridge was turning to Ashley and began encouraging her brother Storm to pursue her. Circumstances surrounding Storm accidentally shooting Katie and then taking his own life were hard on Brooke and drew Ridge away from Ashley. Brooke and Ridge remained close to each other through the next few months. The only problem for Brooke was Taylor's relationship with her son.
After Eric's collapse, Brooke got Donna to agree to sign papers giving Ridge and Brooke control of Forrester while Eric was incapacitated. Although later Donna reneged, she did ask Brooke to help her run the company after firing Ridge, Thorne, and Felicia.
Something seemed to be wrong with Taylor and baby Jack; every time Brooke visited, the baby was crying so she offered to help in any way. When Brooke questioned Taylor, she eventually admitted she was having problems as Jack seemed unable to bond with her. Much to Brooke's surprise, Taylor visited her and asked her if she would raise Jack; surprised but ecstatic, Brooke agreed. Concerned how Ridge would react, she warily approached him. To her delight, he agreed with conditions that it would be done legally to protect her.
Giving up Jack proved to be a catalyst for Taylor and long repressed emotions surfaced and she realized she still loved Ridge. She was honest with Ridge, Brooke and Rick, actually breaking up with Rick because of those feelings. Rick was enraged, confronted Ridge on the rooftop at Forrester, and was hurt. Brooke came to his bedside ready and willing to do whatever he needed to be well. While Rick blamed Ridge for his condition, Brooke believed Ridge when he said it was an accident. Brooke wanted Rick to stay at her home while he recovered, but Rick would only do that if she made Ridge move out of the house. Reluctantly, she agreed. Ridge was upset that she was letting him manipulate her but agreed to move out, temporarily. Ridge went to Taylor's who was more than willing to offer her support and sympathy.
Brooke and Ridge remained true to their relationship. Rick continued trying to break them apart and almost succeeded. Their planned wedding was cancelled due to Ridge's daughter Phoebe dying in a car that Rick was driving. Brooke stood by her son and comforted him acting as a buffer between him and Rick.
Ridge and Brooke had a private marriage ceremony on the Beach where they had been married previously. Forrester Creation and family issues are whirling around them but they remain strong and in love.
