B&B's Brooke Goes On A Bender And Says To Stephanie's Picture: "You Were Right From The Beginning! I Was The Slut From The Valley!"
Courtesy/CBS
The executive producer and head writer of The Bold and the Beautiful, Brad Bell had previewed that once Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) found out that her sister Katie (Heather Tom) and her long time love Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) were head over heels for each other that Brooke would hit the bottle! Well, she did big time on yesterday’s episode of the CBS soap.
While Brooke was getting herself schnockered, she was inside the Forrester mansion where she talked to the picture of the deceased matriarch of the family over the mantle, and her best friend, Stephanie! Brooke flashbacks to Stephanie telling her then when she passes on that Brooke needs to become the matriarch, to which a drunken Brooke realizes she can never live up to.
Later she exclaims to Stephanie, “You were right from the beginning. I was the slut from the valley!” Of course, that phrase has been the catch-all for the character of Brooke labeled by Stephanie upon the woman who has slept with all the Forrester men and then some!
What did you think of the solo scenes featuring Katherine Kelly Lang? Did you like that the show illustrated her devastation and losing the man she loves to her sister? Watch a clip with a liquored up Brooke after the jump! Then Let us know your thoughts!
I am loving me some bold and beautiful!!!!!
Once upon a time I might have cared about Brooke, but over the years my ability to feel empathy for her was been lost. Ridge had dumped her many times before, so I don’t believe she is going off the deep end over Ridge. If she is losing it now it is over Katie betrayal not Ridge’s.
Im not really buying the boozing but I love KKL and Brooke, no matter what they make her do.
I am all for a solid Brooke storyline BUT… I do hope this will nor be a flash-in-the-pan plot turn and ti leads to some new directions for the character. Miss Lang the actor deserves the challenge. Brooke the character is of an age when past shenanigans should be just that, past. We the audience can have a voice of experience to lead this family as Stephanie asked and work to repair relationships and forge something ON HER OWN and not with a man. It is OK if “Bridge” is not the endgame. But if it is, then make it stick and work. It is time.
Love Brooke FINALLY getting her’s. K A R M A!!!!
Beth…Y-E-S…AGREED!!!!! K-A-R-M-A…something (in Brooke’s case) that is L-O-N-G OVERDUE!!!!! Yep.
And I am loving the way she is playing it as so so shocked. Loving BnB right now,
Great episode yesterday!
I MEANT OH GROW UP. LOL.
Never would have figured Brooke as one to take to the bottle after being rejected by Ridge, but there’s always the first time for everything (as I know myself).
This is basically Brooke’s swan song with Ridge. The lowest she will go, a drunken mess on the floor of the Forrester mansion, passed out from boozing on wine, scotch and gin (gads, what a brain-ache she’ll have in the morning!).
But when our beloved heroine comes around in the a.m., she’ll be a stronger person, (barring the massive headache) and will steel herself against all things Ridge, finally coming to terms with the fact that she’s been chasing a dream all these years that will never come true (at least, not for her).
Ridge is so wishy-washy when it comes to women; if he can’t have Brooke, he wants her; if he has her, he wants someone else. Brooke has never won this battle and hopefully this drunken night will finally clear her head and she’ll see how blind-drunk she’s been about Ridge all these years.
Take a trip, far away from L.A., Paris and other places you’ve been with Ridge, Brooke. Give your head and your heart a well-deserved break from men, period, and just indulge yourself in some good old fashioned rest, relaxation and replenishing!
Then call Dollar Bill, the Stallion, and tell him you’re ready to make a commitment. If you can’t find him, give Nick Marone a call and give yourself over to some pure pleasure, hon, because you deserve it!
wolfy
PS — Oh, and if you don’t want to commit, don’t. What law says you HAVE to have a man in your life forever? The only men you need are your sons, who love you unconditionally!
I really liked it. Worked very well. Although why Eric doesn’t lock his door is beyond me.
I hope Brooke and Katie are still going to be sisters, again they are great together I think bill is going to be trouble please keep Katie and ridge together I w a nth her happy and to be strong
Maybe KKL will FINALLY get the Emmy recognition she deserves from these great scenes. She is really terrific and deserves the recognition !
So has Taylor slept with all the Forrester men but that doesn’t get any play at all.
Really… I am not sure who really cares about this character anymore. her attitude with Katie was disgusting…as if SHE would be the only woman for Ridge and Katie is just not good enough. I would hope even KKL would not relish those scenes. She needs to come off her HIGH HORSE and take a look in the mirror…it happens to al of us.. we age and we grow up….hopefully. She sounds so juvenile…making such a big deal about a dress she bought in Paris that Ridge couldn’t help but resist her in? Really Brooke?
When she wakes up maybe she will stop those irritating whispers …
As for Katie…she deserves happiness…glad to see they are building the relationship on friendship and respect for one another. 🙂
I imagine if my sister showed up at my door and said she was in love with the man I thought I was about to marry, I’d be upset too. I’m not necessarily a Brooke fan, but I can understand her mindset at that moment and why she would say and feel the things she did.
The thing is though, Brooke slept with Katie’s husband. If she is bad enough to dish it out, she should be bad enough to take it.
But Katie insisted time and time again that Bill and Brooke be together and kept pushing and pushing!! Brooke would never tell Ridge to be with Katie…..and for ridge to be as condescending as he is considering how he left her on the honeymoon over a text?!?!?!? ridiculous, I guess Brooke was suppose to sit around twidling her thumbs waiting for him to come back….ummm no…..
It seems like Katie is turning into nuTaylor and going after all of Brooke’s former beaus: Nick and Ridge respectively BUT I seem to recall that Dolla Bill hit on Brooke first before he even laid eyes on Katie and Steffy so in a sense Katie seems to want what Brooke always got.
I have to admit though, in the beginning I thought this would be a great storyline with Ridge slowly fawning over Katie but it seems rushed to me. He barely got back several months ago and all of a sudden he’s in LOVE with his former sister in law?! Don’t get me wrong: I love Thorsten Kaye cuz he’s my soap huzband. BUT I was hoping he’d come back and start with the takeover of Forrester Creations first and then slowly dally with Katie and segue into a relationship with her. Now….I’m not liking this duo whatsoever because it seems like Katie is being a full-on witch – she was slowly working on her relationship with Brooke but then does this?! If she ever needs her sister, who’s to say Brooke would want to be there when Katie pulled this on her? Granted, Brooke did hurt Katie but only AFTER Katie went bonkers and more or less forcibly pushed those two together then cried afterwards when it worked.
Anyway…I hope Brooke either has a vision of Stephanie giving her sage advice or has an epiphany that she needs to be stronger than she had ever been before and help the family forge ahead – hers and the Forresters.
Brad Bell has made a mockery of his own show.
So…it took that needy bimbo Brooke over 20 years for her to realize that she was the SLUT FROM THE VALLEY??? OMG…Brooke has ALWAYS BEEN such a needy train-wreck!!!!! Stupid woman.
No Katie and Ridge this week. Fast forward through all of this weeks B & B. What a BORING week !!!!!!!!!
I began watching B & B when AMC “went dark.” Been enjoying the story lines and thought the character of Eric was a class act . Rumor has it that he is going to force Ridge and Brooke to work along side each other. How a man who has “shared” this woman with is son , forces him to work along side with her is disgusting !!! So much for Eric having any class…proving that money cannot buy everything. Shame on you Eric !!!!
Yes I agree – Shame on Eric! Who is he to be the judge of what people belong together? Honestly he thinks it’s fine for the person who stole a diamond and got other people sent to prison for the crime to be dating (sleeping with) his granddaughter. And please somebody tell Brooke what’s involved in being the family matriarch. Huh There’s a hot one. Brooke leading the family into the future. The only place Brooke leads anyone is herself into the middle another marriage. . . . I would like to say from experience that what Brooke did to Katie is nothing like Ridge and Katie being together. Bill and Katie were married and Brooke set out to get him with her Brooke’s Bedroom red nightie. Give me a break. If Ridge goes off after Brooke now as much as I love TK – I’m done!
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
