The Bold and the Beautiful's Brooke: He's just not that into you

On The Bold and the Beautiful, fans are tired of Brooke Logan pining for, sabotaging, and scheming to get back with Ridge Forrester. Please get Brooke a copy of “He’s Just Not That Into You.”

On and off, it’s got to stop on The Bold and the Beautiful

Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) have been in a long-standing on-again, off-again relationship on The Bold and the Beautiful since the show's inception in 1987. Their love story has been a central storyline for almost 40 years, marked by numerous breakups and reconciliations, and fans have just had enough. What will it take for Brooke to realize that Ridge just doesn't want to be with her anymore, and that he’s committed to Taylor (Rebecca Budig).

There have been so many moments recently that have us just scratching our heads. Just make it make sense, why, Brooke? We understand that you’ve referred to Ridge as your “Destiny” for many years, but saying it doesn't make it so. It finds me quoting a movie and wanting to tell Brooke myself, “ You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.” Brownie points for guessing the movie I am quoting. The Coup, taking the CEO position, not making an effort — a real effort — to tell the Forresters she was trying to help (if that’s actually what Brooke was doing), arriving unannounced and uninvited to his house and slapping him, hijacking the fashion show with Eric to further your own needs and desires…the list goes on and on. Yet Brooke still thinks she can sabotage Ridge’s relationship with Taylor and have him back. Ok, this has happened so often that it’s par for the course, but heck, break the wheel and change the record.

Get a grip, Brooke

Fans, long-time viewers, and loyal followers of The Bold and the Beautiful feel the same way and have been quite vocal on the Soap Central Message Boards.

“Brooke has said many times, even to Taylor, that she has serious issues. She defines herself as being unable to be single and has to have a man. I think because her father walked out on them when she was young, she sees men walking away from her as personal, so she simply must do everything in her power, including using her own children to keep a man in her bed. Ridge isn't about being in love; her obsession with Ridge started out as wanting to be wealthy and in a powerful family, then turned into "mine, you can't walk away from me". She did it with Nick and with Deacon. She used Eric, knowing he had been at her feet most of her adult life; she played Thorne, used Grant, and James.[...] She simply has to be adored by all men; her ego won't accept otherwise. Ridge isn't her destiny or true love, he's her trophy to show the world that no man can resist her.” – regular contributor Matt58

“Somebody needs to tell the writers. It's boring and not interesting. He chose Taylor, and if she is happy, how it happened more power to her. Brooke definitely needs to move on. Ridge is not coming home. He is playing house in his daddy's house.” – Senior board member JordanM

“Awesome post. This merry-go-round has been done to death for many years. Recycling in the present with new faces doesn't make it interesting at all. It's still wash, rinse, repeat. Roll eyes.” – CouchCruisin’
