Brief Character History
Brooke is the daughter of Beth and Stephan Logan. Brooke studied chemistry in college and helped her mother in her catering business. She was engaged to police officer Dave Reed. Attracted by the Forresters' lifestyle, she once went to the hospital where Caroline, Ridge's soon-to-be wife, was being treated, and soon befriended her. After Caroline broke up with Ridge because he cheated on her, Brooke and Thorne plotted to get Thorne and Caroline together. Brooke hid a love letter to Caroline from Ridge, allowing Thorne and Caroline to get married, thus leaving Ridge free for herself. But Brooke felt guilty and went to Caroline about the letter. Caroline gave her an ultimatum: leave Ridge or the truth will come out! Brooke tried to stay away from Ridge but it didn't work. Brooke became pregnant and was finally about to marry Ridge but she lost the baby. Ridge then chose a recently divorced Caroline over her.
Brooke decided to go after Eric, Ridge's father. Brooke became pregnant but thought Eric and Stephanie were about to reconcile so she decided to have an abortion. She was rescued by Eric. Soon thereafter Brooke found out Caroline was dying from leukemia and hesitated about telling Ridge. When Caroline died, Brooke found herself very jealous of the new woman of Ridge's life : Dr. Taylor Hayes, Caroline's physician. Brooke gave birth to a baby boy, Eric Jr, and she married Eric, upsetting her mother (Eric's former lover). But Brooke and Ridge grew closer again, as a hopeful Stephanie (wanting Eric back) pushed them together. When Brooke finally discovered BeLieF (a product that prevents wrinkles in fabrics), she and Ridge made love on the floor of the lab. Brooke finally told Eric that she and Ridge were in love, but Eric refused a divorce. Brooke tried to make Eric's life miserable by being mean toward him but he saw right through her and stuck with his decision. He eventually told Brooke that if she would stay with him for two months he'd divorce her. Eric was sure Ridge would have changed his mind by then. Ridge indeed grew closer to Taylor in the meantime and when Eric saved Rick's life, Ridge decided he couldn't break their family. Ridge proposed to Taylor and she finally accepted, although Eric and Brooke concluded it was best for everyone if they divorced.
Eric then went to apply 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 (as Eric's wife, she didn't collect any salary). The Forresters tried to get Brooke to sign away her rights to the product, on which was based Forrester's newfound success, including hiring a false stripper and even using Ridge as a bait. But Connor Davis, Brooke's lawyer (who was very much in love with her and hated Ridge) quickly became suspicious and 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 stocks in the company. The day Ridge was set to marry Taylor, Brooke found out she was pregnant but was too late to prevent the wedding from happening. Moreover when Ridge found out about the baby, he asked for a paternity test because Brooke had also slept with Eric. During her pregnancy, Brooke felt very alone. One day, as she had gone to Big Bear in tears after a fight with Taylor, she went into labor. Ridge soon arrived and delivered Bridget at the cabin, helped via a cellphone by Taylor. Once Bridget was born, Taylor felt very insecure about her marriage and kept telling Brooke that Ridge was only willing to win the company back. It didn't prevent Brooke from actively pursuing Ridge again. A paternity test (mixed up by Sheila) had indeed revealed that the child was Ridge's, which gave Brooke another edge on Taylor. Failing to break Ridge and Taylor up, Brooke eventually settled for Dr. James Warwick and the two became engaged, only to see 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. After a couple of months fighting her will to win Ridge back, Taylor finally revealed herself to Brooke. Brooke tried to convince her Ridge was happier without her and that she should stay hidden, but the truth came out and her 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. 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 who 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.
Brooke then befriended new Forrester designer Grant Chambers, who fell in love with her. Knowing his feelings, Stephanie manipulated Ridge into seeing the two kissing (in a farewell kiss ending their relationship). Devastated, Ridge decided to propose to Taylor on the runway at a Forrester fashion show, instead of Brooke, who was both hurt and humiliated. Brooke decided to give Ridge an ultimatum: either he marry her right away, or she would marry Grant. Although committed to marrying Taylor, Ridge did attempt to stop her from marrying Grant, but he was too late. Brooke had already married Grant in a hasty ceremony on a boat, and installed him as Forrester's new CEO. 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 were 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. Thanks to Grant's testimony, Ridge received a short sentence and was soon freed.
Brooke's marriage to Grant was soon discovered by Clarke as invalid because the justice of the peace was a scam artist. In the same time, Brooke decided to pull out all the stops to break up Ridge and Taylor, and even enticed him into her bed, knowing that Taylor would see them. 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. Once Brooke learned that Ridge was the father of Taylor's baby, she briefly considered telling Ridge the truth, but she knew that he was only with her because he thought Taylor had betrayed him, so she accepted his proposal in Italy knowing that Taylor was carrying his child. She and Thorne joined forces, pressuring Taylor to keep quiet, intercepting her phone calls to Ridge, and playing on Taylor's precarious health. 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 demanded Brooke prove it. Knowing she could not supply Taylor with proof, Brooke pulled the ultimate scam when she upped the wedding by an hour so that by the time Taylor could tell Ridge the truth they would be married. As luck would have it for Brooke, 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.
After returning to Los Angeles, Brooke's world fell apart when Taylor went to Ridge and told him the truth, and also told him about a part of the role that Brooke played in her keeping quiet. Ridge confronted Brooke, and demanded to know if his Taylor was right, and if she had lied about the whole pregnancy. 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, and it wasn't long before they were blissfully happy. This news had a horrible effect on Bridget as well, as she had been eagerly anticipating Ridge being part of their lives, and was devastated at what Brooke's betrayal had cost her. Bridget ran away, and even after she came back, 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, and even attempted to seduce Ridge in an elevator, but he made it clear that Taylor was the one and only woman in his heart.
Brooke then spent much time trying to break her son's relationship with nanny Amber, who was quite a few months older. As she was trying to expose Amber's lies to prevent Rick from marrying her, Brooke found comfort in her friendship with Thorne. It didn't take long before their relationship turned into physical attraction and then love. But their relationship had to face many hurdles, including her own past with Ridge and Eric, and Thorne's relationship with Macy. But they slowly grew closer by keeping their relationship a secret. When Stephanie learned about it though, she suffered a stroke, pitting the whole family against both Brooke and Thorne. Not only were they blamed for Stephanie's stroke but they had to break up to avoid her having a potentially deadly second stroke. But since Brooke was more than ever determined to have a life with Thorne, no matter what the Forresters might say. Eric and Ridge tricked her into kissing Ridge in front of Thorne during a trip to Venice. Thorne was crushed, unaware that Ridge was the one that pulled her into a kiss after falsely claiming he was going to divorce Taylor. Before Brooke could explain him anything, he married Macy on the rebound.
Thorne and Brooke were furious at Ridge and Eric for the setup but Thorne tried to fight his attraction to Brooke to keep up his promise of undying love to Macy. As he and Brooke slowly reconnected, Macy learned the truth about their relationship and started drinking again. But out of love she readied herself to sign divorce papers. Unfortunately the very night she summoned Thorne to say goodbye, Brooke brought her the divorce papers herself. Macy was outraged and jumped in the car to tell Thorne she couldn't let him be with a woman like Brooke. Brooke tried to tell her not to drive into her bad nervous state but Macy went through with it. The car crashed, killing Macy and injuring Brooke. Brooke and Thorne mourned together and then decided to get married. But they chose to wait a little in order to protect Macy's memory. In the same time, Thorne helped Macy's sister Kimberley deal with her loss. The young girl fell in love with him and tried to win his heart away from Brooke. And the very day Brooke and Thorne were supposed to be married (despite his family's objections) Kimberly kissed him in front of journalists and Brooke. Brooke was crushed. As she was about to forgive him, Brooke decided to break up with Thorne to protect her children, who were now even more strongly vocal about their reluctance with this relationship. But Bridget soon realized the two lovers couldn't live without each other and gave them her blessing. Thorne and Brooke were married in January 2001.
During her marriage to Thorne, Brooke tried to break Rick and Amber up and tried to keep Deacon from marrying Bridget, to no avail. One day, as Brooke was trying to convince Amber to dump Rick for her "real soul-mate" Deacon, Thorne overheard her mentioning Ridge as her own soulmate. Furious at her betrayal and hurt of again being pulled back in his brother's shadow, Thorne quickly annulled his marriage to Brooke. (When Macy was revealed to be alive and well years later, it rendered that marriage invalid.) Brooke decided to go after Ridge again even though he was married to Taylor and had three kids with her, using her old tricks including her sexual charisma. But Massimo Marone, wanting to help Stephanie, his old flame, paid Brooke's father $5 million to have him lying about being ill with a deadly disease, forcing Brooke to go take care of him in Paris. After Brooke's life was endangered by a fall from the Eiffel Tower, Stephan confessed everything and Ridge discovered that Taylor was involved. To Brooke's dismay, he forgave his wife. Brooke then decided to get more involved into her children's life. As she was 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 then ran off to a spa so no one would realize she was pregnant. She was forced to return weeks later to save her company when Ridge tried to steal it from her. She came just in time to win it back from Ridge and then fired him as CEO and gave her children and Deacon jobs at the company. Stephanie then exposed at a press conference in front of a group of reporters that Brooke was pregnant. When the press questioned her about the father of the child, Whipple Jones, an employee at Forrester jumped up and claimed the child, though he barely knew Brooke. When he found out the child was Deacon's child, Whip tried to blackmail Brooke but soon he fell in love with her. Brooke tried to stay away from her son in law, but could never fight her urges to sleep with him again and again. She finally moved to Paris with Whip to try and stop herself from hurting Bridget anymore. Deacon then followed Brooke to Paris and continued their affair. After he had gone back to the U.S., Brooke again felt incredibly guilty for hurting Bridget again. Whip said that she needed to be saved from this vicious cycle and he was the only one who could save her. He then proposed, saying it was the only way Brooke would be able to fight her urges to be with Deacon. Not wanting to hurt Bridget or her family anymore, Brooke accepted Whip's proposal.
Brooke went through with the ceremony and married Whip. But soon after Bridget heard Deacon and Brooke talking about their affair on a baby monitor. Bridget later confronted her mother and told her she was no longer her daughter and never wanted to see her again. The emotion of this fight sent Brooke in labor. Stephanie and Bridget had to help her delivery her daughter in a the Big Bear cabin. Stephanie then let her stay in her guest house after giving birth for a while. 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. A few weeks later, after getting the cold shoulder from Brooke for months, Whip realized that she would never love him and he needed to move on. He filed for an annulment and asked Brooke to transfer him to Forrester International in Paris. Brooke agreed and Whip left. 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 trying to be there for Ridge as a friend. Romantic feelings then resumed for both Brooke and Ridge. Brooke also began making headway with her daughter and started repairing their relationship, when Deacon returned to LA bent on revenge! Luckily for Brooke, her relationship with her daughter stayed intact, even though Brooke was hellbent on making sure that Deacon had no contact with either Hope or Little Eric, his son with Becky that Rick and Amber were raising. Despite a brief relationship hiatus after Brooke thought that Ridge was involved with her daughter Bridget, she and Ridge managed to keep their relationship on track, and wed in a beautiful jungle ceremony, only hours before Ridge was kidnapped by Sheila Carter. In the ensuing fracas, Ridge was presumed dead. In her pain, Brooke made love to Nick, Ridge's half-brother. 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.
Despite her engagement to Nick and their plans to wed, Brooke could not get Ridge out of her head or her heart. When Ridge stopped the wedding by producing Maya, a business associate of Nick's, he was able to convince Brooke to give him a second chance. When Brooke unexpectedly went into labor early, Ridge was there for her, and he helped her deliver her beautiful baby boy. They were both shocked when Nick showed up to tell them that there was a problem with the first paternity test and that the baby was Ridge's. Mark MacClaine, who showed up shortly after the baby was born, helped do another paternity test, and the baby was proven to be Ridge's. An ecstatic Brooke named the baby Ridge Forrester Jr., and later she and Ridge agreed with Thomas' suggestion that it was a mouthful, and decided 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.
After Ridge chose to be with Taylor over her, Brooke finally decided she had enough of him, and declared that they were well and truly over. She also realized that the true love of her life was none other than her daughter Bridget's husband Nick. She and Nick could not deny their passion and after Bridget claimed to have had an abortion, began planning for their future together until Bridget announced she was still pregnant. Despite her love for Nick, 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. She even tried using Dante to convince Bridget that she was over Nick, but had no real feelings for the young man. After Ridge and Taylor's marriage broke up over her long-ago affair with James, Ridge began courting her again, but she made it very clear she wasn't interested.
