THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: The Whereabouts of Brooke and Nick’s son, Jack Marone, is Revealed
One of the big questions that was raised upon news of Jack Wagner’s (Nick) return to The Bold and the Beautiful, is where oh where is Nick Marone and Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) son, Jack? He’s never talked about and certainly never seen.
Several months back on an episode of BOLD LIVE, B&B’s supervising producer, Casey Kasprzyk welcomed series legacy star, Katherine Kelly Lang as the guest, At that time, talk turned to Nick and Brooke’s son, Jack. It was then that Kaspryzk shared their were no plans for Jack, who would now be in his 20s to appear on the canvas, but teased Jack would be referenced in Nick’s return storyline.
B&B fans got their tease and answer on both the Monday, June 16h and Wednesday, June 18th episode of the CBS daytime drama series, when Nick and Brooke talk about their son. When they di to Jack potentially joining them when Nick finishes his new boat in Naples, Italy, Nick tells Brooke that’s unlikely. Jack won’t leave Paris. He didn’t take to the shipping business, but followed in his mother’s footsteps. Nick says their son seems happy and Brooke says he does seem happy when she video chats with him.

Fast-forward when Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) walks in seeing his half-brother Nick with Brooke, he is clearly unnerved knowing of their past. Ridge asks what Nick is going here. Brooke pipes up that they were talking about Jack’s success at Forrester International. So, there you have it! Jack is in Paris in the fashion game.
B&B fans recall the twisted tale of baby Jack Hamilton Marone. In story, Taylor (then Hunter Tylo) gave birth to Nick’s child in 2007 with Brooke unknowingly providing the egg from which Jack was conceived, technically making her his biological mother. The character of Jack was last seen back in 2010-2011 and was last played by twins Frank and Morgan Gingerich.

So, now that we know Jack Marone is into the Forrester family fashion dynasty and could be in his early 20’s, isn’t it time for Brooke to have another son on the canvas? Couldn’t Jack and Ridge be adversaries at Forrester Creations? Think a hot shot, confident young business man, or designer, having a chip on his shoulder like his dad, Nick!

Were you glad B&B addressed the whereabouts of Brooke and Nick’s son? Do you think the soap should cast the role someday? If so, put your armchair quarterback casting director hat on and let us know any actor you think would be fit the bill, via the comment section below.
I can’t remember but did Nick & Bridget have a kid together or am I mixing up characters?
Yes they did and it was a girl named Nicole she was still born.
Why is Brooke and Briget (mother and daughter) with the same.man. that’s terrible. Just like Eric and Ridge with Brooke. I wouldn’t want to be in that family. Too much kissing cousins going on.
She was also with Ridge’s brother Thore
She even slept with Thomas when they both had hallucinations after eating something on an island.
Brooke and Thomas did not sleep together when they were hallucinating on that island from eating those berries that they shouldn’t have eaten. The OG Stephanie found out about the berries and about the hallucination and told Thomas if he lied and said they slept together, she would give him the 25% of her Forester creation shares. Ridge left Brooke for a very short time and he went back to Taylor but then when Ridge found out the truth because Thomas eventually confessed to the LIE, and the OG Stephanie herself was the one that revealed the truth and that’s when Ridge packed his things up from Taylor’s and went back to his Logan.. it was just another manipulation by the OG Stephanie to keep Ridge from Brooke, like she had done so many times before over the years, Taylor even knew it was a lie and kept it hidden as well. About Ridge was very angry about the OG Stephanie and Thomas lying and saying he and Brooke slept together when they didn’t! Ridge ended up cutting the taboo line that Thomas was trying to start up back then and demoted Thomas as a form of punishment for his lie! So as far as Brooke ever sleeping with Thomas that is false information!
No it wasn’t they both had the exact same sex dreams. That’s not hallucination
Wrong. Taylor has wed 5 times twice e to Ridge. Brooke wed 21 times 8 to Ridge. Brooke wed to Grant and Taylor was never with him.
Brooke never slept with her son Rick but Taylor dated him. Brooke and Thomas had the same ‘hallucinaton so yes they D lept together.
No she didn’t his grandmother Stephanie got Thomas to lie and say they did to get rid of Brooke.
By the way I don’t know why Brooke is getting bashed about who she slept with on the show when Taylor has either slept with or been married to the same men Brooke has and then some. Taylor Slept with Brooke’s son Rick, actually Taylor had an affair with him after he dated Phoebe and before he started dating and was engaged to Steffy. But as I mentioned in my last comment Brooke has never ever slept with Thomas.
That might be the only man/ or child brook has slept with because she’s had them all!!! Hello Hope is an example. Deacon was married to Brooks other daughter while the doctor when Brook had an affair with deacon and had Hope!!!! That’s why Brooks daughter left.
Brooke was with Ridge, Eric, Thorne, Nick, Bill. She’s never found her own man.
Non cousins too. Jack’s father is Nick Marone half brother to Ridge making him RJ’s cousins but due to them both being Brooke’s son they were half brothers.
Why would Jack be working at Forrester International? That is SO weird. Ridge hates Nick but would let his son work at his family company. Weird.
Seeing that they are half brothers means JJ is Ridge nep
And is Brooke’s son
Probably was out of his control Eric made that decision. Eric loves Brook and will do anything for Brook
Because regardless of how Ridge feels about his half brother Nick, Jack is Brooke’s son also. So of course Ridge would allow him to be working at Forester international. The egg that was accidentally implanted in Taylor years ago was a mix-up and it was Brooke’s egg not Katie’s or anyone else’s and that’s why Taylor decided she couldn’t raise Jack as her own because she knew he was biologically Brooke and Nick’s son. Taylor had a fit when she found out it was Brooke’s egg. That’s one of the times Taylor started drinking. I’ve been watching this soap since the day it aired March 23rd 1987 and I haven’t missed a thing.
Yes.wherevis their son
I have a very sneaky suspicion that Jack may not be Brookes child after all that Katie may be Jacks real mother and Katie did have her eggs frozen before her surgery theirs always that twist and I hope Katie is Jacks mom.
Jack was already born when Katie had her surgery
I doubt that very much! I don’t see them changing his mother.
Katie and Nick never married
Could Remy be Jack that would create hysteria
Or remy could be the twin
I’m happy for him
I remember the story and the devastation they put Taylor thru. I don’t blame Tylo for not coming back then they brought KA in she was a great recast but she became too popular and so she was fired then they bring on RB who is totally miscast hopefully she leaves town and we are done with building up Lang stick her with fake Ridge and close the deal on this over rated worn out couple .
Well if we are gonna bring back people why not Stephanie,or for that matter Thorne l. . Ridge is such
a dirty do but I think this destiny thing the destiny thing needs to be done with, it’s very tired and very
Old. Enough already!
Who are these people with these initials you’re talking about?
Let’s hope Brooke finally give us up on Ridge. It has treated her abysmally for as long as I have watched this program and I can’t figure out what her attraction is to him.. not familiar at all with Nick’s storyline It would be nice to see her involved with someone who is actually a decent human and where a happy relationship could evolve. I like to see Taylor fade away into the background. Her constant badgering of Brooke in their scenes and behind Brooke’s back makes it difficult to find her credible as a licensed therapist. She needs therapy herself! B&B has some ridiculous story lines and some really interesting ones as well. Just can’t figure out why no one in the Forester family ever walks their doors and how it’s so easy for homicidal maniacs to enter their homes whenever they like. And I have to laugh when Finn says he’s doing everything he can to protect his family but I see no evidence of that and with all the money these people have they should have around the clock multiple layers of security! Lol!
Yes and why don’t they lock doors?!
I’ve often wondered that especially with all the loony women running atound!!!
I was wondering that too..especially with all the looney women running around!!
I believe Nick son and Ridge son needs to come bk RJ that is.
Seems many of Brooke’s kids are floating around the world – RJ, Jack, Bridget, and Rick – a number working at Forrester International yet anytime they head to Europe, the kids don’t appear. Hopefully with the upcoming location trek to Italy will include at least one of her kids. I DVR BandB and fast forward through all of it – thus 5 minutes of my time – for I used to live in LA, and its the landscapes that I enjoy, though I haven’t been back to the Los Angeles since 2019, and many friends have since departed because of how it has changed over the past decades and become unaffordable and unbearable with the fires. It is actually really sad, but I’ve diverged.
I don’t have know right now who could play Jack but I do want to see RJ he just disappeared after Luna tick miss over him I like RJ
I would like to see brook and Nick’s son.
This is the first I’ve heard of nick and brook havin a child. And why would brook unknowingly give an egg to taylor.
This is so messed up. What the heck are these people doing? But in answer to your question….yes I would like to see nick and Brooks son. Would he have blond hair or dark brown hair? That would be something else to twist ridge’s gut. He could be there for maybe a mouth. Ridge would hate seeing brook with her, jack and nick together. Poor taylor. What a twisted wedded mess this is.
So, it’s kinda long but basically –
Brooke froze eggs when she was married to Nick. They got divorced. Later, Taylor and Nick were together and trying to have a baby. They had problems, and decided to go with IVF. The lab grabbed “Mrs. Marone’s” eggs, but they were Brooke’s, not Taylor’s. After Taylor was successfully impregnated the mix up was discovered and Taylor did not do well with the fact that she was giving birth to Nick and Brooke’s baby.
Dumas on y and r is nick and brook son
That’s an interesting thought… With the various Y&R and B&B cross overs, it could be possible. I actually hope that is the “big” reveal, rather than Dumas being a 15 year younger recast of Cane Ashby. Cricket and Danny showed up in GC, and Lauren and Michael were invited originally to attend the South of France festivities. Still not sure how Abby (and her delay) are important since that character’s actor went on to recurring status, yet the “butler” for Dumas keeps inquiring about it. Anyways, all of this should have aired last month during May sweeps – probably got drawn out due to Billy Flynn’s contract obligations with DOOL.
what I don’t understand is why is broken heart Taylor so interested in what Brooke and Nick got going on not cry baby got Ridgeback and she still all up in Brook business first I would have told Taylor the broken heart syndrome woman never come back to my house again what I do is my business you got ridge you keep him and I mean don’t never come back to my house ever again I can’t stand Taylor, she is so damn insecure of Brooke it’s it’s sickening.
She’s worried about the tuggle of war that’s about to happen when ridge sees brooke with nick cause he’s about to be not home and in his face all the time concerning brooke…brook can be with any man but nick and bill…his brother and her sister’s husband.
How many illegitimate children does Brook have. She should change her name to Loosie.
Who hasn’t Brooke had a kid with! She was with everyone on the show! Wasn’t her daughter with Nick? This is crazy!
I thought Nick had a baby with Katie
She lost the baby…
I hope Karie is his mother with eggs!
Kate hasn’t been a focus for a long time!
I am tired of the back and forth between Taylor and Brook. Two grandma’s and grandpa. Leave Taylor with Ridge. I think Brook is a spoiled housebreaker
I think Taylor sucks. Get rid of her. She is the one in need of help. She is so boring and needy. No appeal at all. No chemistry with any guy on the show. The Taylor before her was much better.
I hate the last two taylor they can never do better than the original Taylor….there can only be 1…she didn’t appear desperate but confident in her role.
I think they should leave Taylor and ridge together and they should send Brooke on her way knowing that lady sleep around with so many guys from that story and has all these kids with different men time to send her on her way with some one different .
Oh…. but it’s okay that Ridge has slept with more women!!!! Get a great grip dude
Keep Rig and Brook together. They been together all these years. I love them
I don’t care much about Taylor.
No we already have 24/7 Brooke. FYI Brooke knew. She gave eggs to test fertility at a time when she didn’t have a guy and told her daughter Bridget Nick and Taylor were discussing having a baby and she HAD to have his baby before Taylor.
Beyond the Gates
TUNE-IN: ‘Beyond the Gates’ Banneker Homecoming Episodes, EP Sheila Ducksworth Speaks on Impact HBCUs Have in Real Life
As previously reported, kicking off today, is a two-part Beyond the Gates, when The Duprees gather to celebrate Banneker University’s homecoming weekend.
The producers and writers are taking an opportunity to spotlight the rich traditions of the long-held tradition of attending Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) through its fictional university.
The episodes are today on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Friday, October 2 and next week on Monday, October 5, where in true Beyond the Gates fashion, there will be some surprising drama that ensues when someone shows up!

BANNEKER REFLECTS THE IMPORTANCE OF HBCUS
Sheila Duckworth, (executive producer, Beyond the Gates) spoke to Soaps.com to give some insight on the decision for the series to illustrate the ties that bind with HBCUs.
“It was important that we have this school as almost a character on our canvas, right from the beginning. Beyond even education, HBCUs have been pivotal when it comes to everything from economic progression and fostering a sense of community to the development of leadership skills,” explained Ducksworth. “From the beginning, we wanted to illustrate that what the Duprees are able to do in the world was a direct reflection of the impact HBCU’s have in real life.”
EVERYTHING HAS ITS PURPOSE
The EP talked about how purposeful the elements that integrate Banneker into the overall story of Beyond the Gates are including: the Dupree family door knocker that is a lion, the mascot for the fictional university, plus, the upcoming fight song that the cast will sing together on the Monday, October 5 episode, and the painting the hangs at Fairmont Crest.
That portrait of Vernon Dupree’s (Clifton Davis) father, George Cheeks Dupree, that hangs prominently at the country club, was named after CBS executive George Cheeks (now Chairman of TV and Media, Paramount), and as Ducksworth says of the legacy of Vernon’s father, “He was the architect of Fairmont Crest.”
So, are you looking forward to these episodes honoring HBCU traditions with the Dupree and the Richardson clans? What surprises do you think might be in store come next week? Let us know via the comment section below.
