The Katherine Kelly Lang and Adam Gregory Interview – The Bold and the Beautiful

The Bold and the Beautiful once again proved that the BOLD in their official title is just that! And who else would get mixed up in all this trouble, but Brooke Forrester. And this time it’s a doozy. Here we go: Brooke and her stepson, Thomas, who have had this very “taboo” chemistry playing out on air, head to Australia together for work when suddenly their plane crashed. Now the duo washed up at sea is dehydrated and starving in a life or death situation, while their loved ones race to find them.
Next, Brooke comes across some polka-dotted berries and eats one, and then encourages Thomas to eat one, too. Well, after downing a bunch of these delicious and seductive berries the two go on soap’s first fantastical acid trip, or ecstasy trip… take your pick. Whatever the case, B&B created via special CGI effects an incredible hallucinogenic journey for the duo to play in. And in the end the question remains, did Thomas and Brooke have sex, or not?
On-Air On-Soaps tries to get to the bottom of this, in this very special and revealing interview with Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) and Adam Gregory (Thomas). After reading this, let us know what you think happened during their berry-induced island adventure. Here’s our chat with the gorgeous Katherine, and the handsome Adam.
MICHAEL:

Wow Katherine! Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer) is certainly finding ways to get Brooke in steamy situations with the younger men of B&B! Now there is this drug-induced possible sex romp with her stepson, Thomas. But before that there was the infamous “Party Boink” with Oliver, when Brooke mistook him for Ridge. During our interview about that storyline, you had mentioned you thought it would have been better if Brooke were perhaps in an altered state in that situation. Now with this new story, she was! Do you think that had any bearing on how this new story angle played out?
KATHERINE:
I don’t know at all, but I do remember talking to Brad Bell going, “Wouldn’t it be better if Brooke was a little drunk or tipsy?” And then he said, “No. That wouldn’t be good, because then Brooke would be doing two things wrong.” (Laughs) She would be with Oliver and also drunk. So he did not want to do that. But when this story came about, maybe he liked where it was going, or that original suggestion.
ADAM:
When Brooke ate these berries, it was not like she intentionally took drugs or drank. When I came on the show I was doing some research, because I did not know what role I had yet. So I am watching the show frantically trying to figure where I would even fit into this place. And that was happening when I first got here, between Oliver and Brooke. So I do know the back-story of that. She was with a younger man, accidently.
MICHAEL:
How did the two of you find out that Brooke and Thomas were going to ingest some fictional hallucinogenic berries that will end up causing long-term controversy?
ADAM:
© JPI Studios
I got a text from Ed Scott, our producer, going, “Heads up! This might be happening.” And I remember having the talk with Brad, and he explained everything. Then Cindy Popp, who directed us in the episodes, pulled me in her office and said, “Ok. So here is what is happening.” And it got toned down actually. I think that worked out better with everything being more of a mystery, and we really don’t even know what happened.
MICHAEL:
Watching the sequences play out on-air, I had to watch it back a couple of times. I’m trying to figure out the symbolism: does the finger touching and the flowers adorning your bodies, represent sex between the two?
KATHERINE:
Well, we are still trying to figure it out, and there were a lot of changes being made through the process. Brad kept changing different things and in different ways – to the point where we still don’t know what is happening. It is a very secretive thing!
ADAM:
We are playing that we don’t even know if we had sex, because the characters did blackout. And Katherine, you are always playing Brooke at this point as, “I don’t know if I did something wrong!”
KATHERINE:
Yes, but we tried to do it childlike and playful during the hallucination scenes. We knew there was some connection going on, but it was the “Berry Connection.” (All that psychedelic energy coming at us, and what have you.) It is more about what happened when we blacked out. Again, Thomas and Brooke are thinking something more happened, but it could have just been a drugged-out black out!
ADAM:
© JPI Studios
And Brooke just wants to tell Ridge, because they have this pact in their marriage to be completely honest with one another. So she feels she has no choice but to tell him, but Thomas is not letting her!
MICHAEL:
Adam, I just wanted to give you some kudos. I thought you did a really nice job in the scenes where Thomas and Brooke address and see their entire extended families for the first time, and attempt to recount what happened to them from the plane crash to landing on the deserted island. Of course, omitting their ecstasy-trip via the berries! (Laughs)
KATHERINE:
Adam had been wonderful to work with and has been really good lately. Aren’t you a bit of a method actor, like with your leg being injured from the plane crash and the island?
ADAM:
I noticed it looked fake when I walked in the scenes, so I wanted someone to punch me!
KATHERINE:
He really gets into the moment, and as a sort of newcomer, we all can be like, “Is he going to be able to pull this off?” (Laughs) And he did. You did a great job! And there was a point where I remember thinking, “Oh my gosh. He is doing so great. I have got to up my game now!” (Laughs) I did not want him to show me up. (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
Adam, is it still hard being the newbie in a cast with such long-standing cast members? Or, do you feel you have settled in more at this point?
ADAM:
As far as the cast, not at all. Everyone here is so nice, and it has been a very nice fit for me. As far as being in the soap world, that is very different. When you work as a cast you are working to build your show. But when you are building your show in the soap world, there is also that built-in competition with Y&R, DAYS, and GH. So, I look at other guys my age from other shows and see how they are doing it.
MICHAEL:
© JPI Studios
And, are you checking in to see if you have had more shirtless scenes than those dudes?
ADAM:
(Laughs) I guess I might have to, to stay one step ahead of my competition.
KATHERINE:
It comes down to being a good person. We all really respect each other here. We work really hard and we have each other’s backs. I think our show is a little more special than the other shows because of that, from the stories I have heard. But that helps, and then you can sort of branch out and build however you want to portray yourself out there to the world.
MICHAEL:
Tell us about the CGI special effects, which were outstanding. How did you act with them or around them? I am assuming you were in front of a Green Screen on the set at B&B?
KATHERINE:
They explained exactly what we had to see, such as: when we walked into this huge room and saw the cave and how it opened up into a huge waterfall. They said, “Look. It goes way up into the sky.” So we had to kind of look and go, “Oh,” and they explained what the energy between us would look like, and how we would need to play that. They said here is where the poppies will grow out of the wall and so we would go, “Ooh-wee,” and giggle and carry on.
ADAM:
© JPI Studios
I remember getting into the whole CGI thing, and the first thing we had to do was look at the rainbow. They go, “You see the rainbow?” And I go, “Alright. Let me get into this. I have got to wrap my head around this.” (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
Did the two of you laugh a lot, though? I can only imagine! I know you had to play giddy and drugged, anyway. But, there had to be a moment where the two of you were like, “What are we doing?”
KATHERINE:
We were so tired and punch-drunk by the end of the day from smiling so much. My smile muscles in my face and my stomach muscles were so worn out. When I went home I thought, “Oh my God, I hurt all over.” And this was just from laughing. Viewers saw just bit of it on-air, but we had to laugh and giggle, and do that whole thing all day long.
ADAM:
It was exhausting! And after a certain point, Kelly is Miss Giggles. You don’t even have to get her going, she just laughs. (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
OK. Let’s get to this. Do you admit there is a ton of sexual chemistry going on between Thomas and Brooke?
KATHERINE:
© JPI Studios
I think everyone is out of their minds! (Laughs) But Brooke loves him as her stepson, who she raised. Of course, there is a natural bond there. What are you looking at, Adam? (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
Katherine, let’s take this one step further. Could you ever see the ultimate soap opera portrayal, that Brooke would leave Ridge for his son, Thomas?
KATHERINE:
No. Are you serious? I think the age difference is huge.
MICHAEL:
You never know on B&B, these days! They do a great job at pushing the envelope.
ADAM:
Well there is an older woman/younger man coupling on this show with Jackie and Owen, and there is even a bigger age difference between Owen and Thomas. I am much younger, and I think sometimes my age is confusing on the show. I don’t even know sometimes what age Thomas is supposed to be. But I do know that he is at least over 21. I am only 23 in real life, so I try to keep him around my own age. I feel that leaves a lot of room for Brad to play with, like bringing Thomas’s friends from college on to the show for instance, because right now, Thomas has no friends! (Laughs)
MICHAEL:
Adam, what does Thomas feel towards Brooke?
ADAM:
© JPI Studios
I have always played it that Thomas has this deep appreciation for Brooke and everything she had done for Thomas with the Taboo line, and getting him started at Forrester Creations. He was kind of a nobody and a schmuck in the company for a while, and no one took him seriously until he started this whole campaign. And if it wasn’t for Brooke jumping on the bandwagon with him, nothing would have happened. Thomas would not have been this overnight sensation with Forrester Creations, and on his way to the CEO chair without Brooke.
MICHAEL:
Thomas has been manipulating Brooke, too!
ADAM:
That is true… I am that good.
KATHERINE:
What? I did not know this.
ADAM:
Yes! In my character’s eye, I am being very ambitious and taking advantage of your sweetness. And she is my step-mom, and so that is my business ambition coming out, and it is bad!
MICHAEL:
Can you see Thomas showing a softer or more vulnerable side to him after this whole plane crash incident? Perhaps he has taken a harder look at his life and the direction he had taken it.
ADAM:
© JPI Studios
Absolutely not! Thomas is going to go through a dash of depression, but other than that, I am making him really stone cold.
MICHAEL:
I thought it was very clever that Brooke and Thomas were heading to Australia when the plane went down, and that there could be some really fun berries on some neighboring island down under.
KATHERINE:
Isn’t that hysterical? They were going to Australia to launch a new line for women, and then the plane went down!
MICHAEL:
In my speculating, I am worried that Brooke will become pregnant…again! And that will finally be the plot point that will reveal that during their drug-induced berry party, Brooke and Adam did indeed have sex.
ADAM:
Every time I speak over the boom, (I try not to anymore) I end up speculating on storyline, that is how Dayzee and I happened. During the Christmas episode, Kristolyn Lloyd (Dayzee) and I were sitting on set, and we were talking to Texas Battle (Marcus). He was telling us that he was sure that Dayzee was for him in his new storyline, and I said, “I am telling you, she is for Thomas.” And look what happened!
KATHERINE:
I know! It is true that in between scenes we all talk while the booms are open. And you are talking about possible story, and going, “Ooh, wouldn’t this be fun,” and then you see it in the script!
ADAM:
© JPI Studios
Or, maybe that is what they think the actors are expecting! So they say, “Let’s go the opposite way.” And then they throw you for a loop.
MICHAEL:
Coming up, what can we look forward to coming up with Thomas and Brooke in the next month… dealing with the aftermath from the crash with their loved ones, families, and each other?
KATHERINE:
It’s more of them questioning for a while, and they are just going crazy thinking about if something happened between the two characters. And, we are addressing and playing out all the emotions that come with that.

WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus Talks Humble Beginnings, Test and Albert, WrestleMania 22 with Mickie James, Current Women’s Roster (Exclusive)
WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus has had an incredible in-ring career, on and off for over 25 years. Having debuted as a heel back in 2000, she held the then WWE Women’s Championship for a record 445 days back in 2005 and into 2006, before dropping the title to her nemesis, Mickie James at WrestleMania 22, and is considered one of the best to ever to it by many in the women’s locker room, then and now. When it was her turn to be inducted into the Hall of Fame Class of 2013, she chose Stephanie McMahon (this year’s Hall of Fame class 2026) to do the honors at the ceremony.
Fast forward and April’s WrestleMania 42 week in Las Vegas, Michael Fairman TV had a reunion with Trish for this very special interview. For when Trish started in the WWE, Fairman was working as a writer/producer for ‘Raw’ and ‘SmackDown’ and as told in their discussion, recalled how he worked with an upstart Stratus to help her learn her lines for her promos and more. Now two and half decades later, we caught up at Trish’s WrestleMania 42 pop up at Flankers at Mandalay Bay entitled First Crush by Trish Stratus. Trish had created an immersive experience for wrestling fans, Trish fans, and offered on stage Q&A’s with special guests and much more.
Backstage, she sat down with us to take a trip down memory lane, share her picks for WrestleMania 42 in the top women’s bouts (see if she predicted, correctly!) and talked some of her greatest moments. opponents. and friendships in the ring and out, plus what keeps getting her to come back when she has already accomplished so much in her iconic career.

TO SINK OR SWIM IN THE WWE
Trish shared on being a rookie in WWE with little to no experience, explaining, “I was thrown right into it. I was a fan of wrestling, watching it, enjoying it. Started to dabble into fitness modeling. So suddenly, I was kind of a public figure all of a sudden. Modeling is very different than actually speaking. They (WWE) literally threw me into the water and it was like sink or swim. The wrestling was one thing and they threw me out there for my first couple matches. Most people come up in the independent wrestling circuits. I had done some wrestling, but it was foundational kind of stuff. It wasn’t like performance yet and they gave me my first promo and I was the green one.
In the world of pro wrestling its all about getting the moment to prove yourself and making something out of it, Trish did just that when she became the beautiful manager/wrestler of the late Test and Albert, and suddenly they were known as .. yup … you remember … ‘T and A.”
BAD GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

Stratus recalled, “I was sitting backstage waiting for them to find the storyline. I remember just chilling actually with Lilian Garcia (then the ring announcer.) We bonded right away. She was my little bestie. I was on the road for a couple weeks in a row and, and then finally they came to me like, ‘Today’s the day. … we’re putting you out there.’ So, there I was with Test and Albert, otherwise known as T-and-A … get it! Those were the days of the double entendres. We were told we were bad guys, and we had to flesh out our characters. had to get people to boo me right off the bat.”
“I love being a heel” Stratus said passionately. However, when she comes out of retirement or makes special appearances, or comes back for a lengthy storyline she prefaces it with, “The thing for me to come back to the business for a little while means leaving my kids. I have to make sure that it checks all the boxes, right? I want be challenged as a performer, number one. I want to make sure I’m coming back and giving back to the businesses. Not just being self-serving. So, when I can check those boxes, it’s exciting, and makes it fun to come back.”
BECKY LYNCH AND MICKIE JAMES

Trish revealed her favorite WrestleMania moments through the years and her perfect opponents; the women she feels she created magic with in the ring. “When I returned in 2023, we had done the babyface come back. I’ve come back and they’re cheered me and they’re excited to see me. Nobody expected that, and that’s what I love doing. I love the unexpected. I was working with Becky Lynch. I knew she was the perfect babyface to be a bitch to and to turn on; bringing in the bestie so that I could turn on her with all those years of history, that’s juicy to me. I love it.”
As to her WrestleMania match resume, it was an easy pick fo Stratus, “I’m going to do with Mickie James WrestleMania 22. We like to call us the hashtag ‘longest rivalry in history.’ Becky Lynch and I might have rivaled that rivalry just because we did have a lot. But, I’m all about the stories, and to make sure there’s a meaning behind it. I want to foreshadow a little. I want to understand what my character’s thinking when I go into this. We had the fans captivated. I think at WrestleMania 22, with the way the crowd reacted and the way they were so invested in our storyline, I feel like we got them.”
Proud of what she and Mickie accomplished, Trish added, “They were like, ‘the women can hold a crowd, like the men can.’ I think that was like the moment we kind of had arrived. I have to say the Jazz/Trish stuff, the Victoria/Trish stuff, this is all stuff that planted the seeds. Mickie James and I, right there at WrestleMania, and we’re talking about a WrestleMania moment. I’m also going to give a shout out to WrestleMania 19 with Jazz and Victoria and Steven Richards … who took the best Stratusfaction I’ve ever seen!”

Y&R’s Christel Khalil Talks the Emotional Winters Family Turns of Events; Shemar Moore, and Lily and Cane’s Future (Exclusive)
This week on The Young and the Restless, viewers have been served up an emotional series of scenes and episodes centering around the return of Malcolm Winters played by Shemar Moore, who returns to Genoa City to ask his daughter, Lily for her help (Christel Khalil).
In story, Malcolm has aplastic anemia and needs a bone marrow transplant and his best option is a family member. However, things turn bleak when they both learn that she cannot be his donor because Lily previously had cancer. Enter Dr. Stephanie Johnson, the also returning Vivica A. Fox, who tells her son, Holden (Nathan Owens) and Malcolm, that Holden is his biological son! This admission gives Malcolm a chance at a donor match to save his life.
Now, Christel Khalil, who recently came back to the CBS soap opera following her maternity leave, and the birth of her third child, chatted all about the new complex family dynamics, working with Billy Flynn as her new Cane, and Lily being in cahoots with Victor Newman, and more in a new conversation on the Michael Fairman Channel. Here are some of the takeaways below!
Courtesy/CBS
Working with Shemar Moore again and their touching scenes in front of Neil Winters’ portrait
CHRISTEL: “It’s always amazing to have anyone come back that’s been away for a while, but especially, Shemar. It’s all the history with him being Lily’s dad. For me, it’s been 20 years of knowing him. Obviously, I don’t get to talk to him or hang out with him and that kind of thing. So it was just nice just to see him again and have that moment around Neil’s portrait, and to be able to share that together and even talk about that off-camera. It’s just special and feels like family, which is nice.”
The emotional scenes with Malcolm and learning Lily has a brother
CHRISTEL: “It’ a great story. I love when anything is grounded in reality where people who have maybe gone through the same thing can relate and it can help people I feel like that happened when Lily had cancer on the show. It’s nice to see something really heart-based, really family-based. I feel like we haven’t been able to see that with Lily in a long time. Then, finding out that she has a brother, I thought that was really amazing.”

Working with Nathan Owens
CHRISTEL: “I love Nathan. We have so much fun together. We’re already teasing and joking each other on set like brother and sister, so it’s really nice. I was really excited to find out that he was part of the family, which is I think more interesting.”
Shemar Moore returning to tape more episodes
CHRISTEL: “I haven’t read that far ahead, but there must be something happening because when Shemar returns, I know a lot of people are involved in something. So we’ll see!”

Lily’s involvement in faking her own abduction
CHRISTEL: “When I first read it I was like, ‘Yikes, that’s really bad. It’s very not like Lily.’ It seemed very out of character for her. But then, as I started reading more and learning more about the reasons behind doing it, I actually really liked it. I see what some of what the fans say and they’re like, ‘Lily’s always on her high horse and she’s always, little ‘Miss Goodie Two Shoes.'”
Lily with an edge
CHRISTEL:“Oh yeah, she can definitely be bitchy for sure. I think when she’s bitchy, it’s because she’s usually judging someone else. I think this was a nice thing to kind of temper the judgment that she’s always giving where it’s like, ‘Ok, you do some things wrong too, so let’s just relax.'”
Photo: JPI
Billy Flynn
CHRISTEL: “I love Billy. He’s such a sweet, amazing guy, and an amazing actor and very professional. We have a great time together. I like how they’ve really switched up the Cain character completely. He’s not trying to be the old cane. It’s a completely new cane and you know, I think we have good chemistry together. So, t’s been really fun to play with him and there’s some exciting stuff coming up. Hopefully, everyone likes it.”
Phyllis and Lily’s history
CHRISTEL: “Lily’s always annoyed with Phyllis, right? Michelle Stafford and I always have conversations where I’m like, ‘You killed my mom.’ She’s like, ‘No! I didn’t. She let go! ‘(in reference to Dru falling off a cliff) To know that Phyllis and Cane had a thing, is very disturbing to Lily.”
Now below, check out our full conversation with Christel on the homecomings of Shemar Moore, Vivica A. Fox and welcoming Nathan Owens to the Winters clan, plus the drama ahead for Lily.
So, have you enjoyed the Lily and Malcolm scenes thus far? What do you think will happen when Shemar returns for another set of scenes taping this month as teased by Christel? Are you down for Lily and Cane, as played by Billy Flynn? Weigh-in via the comment section.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Talks What’s Next for Steffy Forrester (Exclusive)
Three-time Daytime Emmy winner, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is celebrating nearly two decades as Steffy Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful. Last September, she returned to the CBS daytime drama after her most recent maternity and giving birth to her 5th son.
Now back at the soap opera and a mom of five, Michael Fairman TV caught up with Jacqui at the recent launch party for the BBTV global streaming app which also served as a gathering for the series 39th anniversary.
Wood gave us the lowdown of what may lie ahead for the often in-your-face Forrester dynamo who has no problem snarking a comment or two to Hope (Annika Noelle), and who definitely wants her mother, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), and all her loved ones to stay away from Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown)!
Photo: JPI
‘It’s been fun what we’ve been filming, we’ve been non-stop,” shared Wood. “The other day I was doing four episodes back to back, and we were just in it. It’s fun to play Steffy right now. Love her or hate her. I have fun playing her.”
FROM LEADING ROLE TO SUPER MOM
Jacqui also weighed-in on; if throughout her run on the show, she has changed dialog or something in a script to help out her performance. “Sometimes, but not all the time. I let Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer) write. I try to execute the best way I can,” reflected Wood. “There are times where I see it and I go, ‘Let me take the reins here. I got this.’ They’ll kind of let me go. If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t. I’m OK for critique. We can’t work scenes over and over again. We’re not on that kind of medium or set. You kind of have to know what you’re bringing, but I’m always open.”
Being supermom to sons: Rise Harlen, Lenix, Brando Elion, Valor James and Talon, wife to husband Elan Ruspoli, and a leading actress on The Bold and the Beautiful is a lot to juggle, but Wood has found the way to do it all. “Honestly, I just truly live intentionally, ” explained Jacqui. “I know what we have here, and it makes me truly grateful to have my kids and to be able to still be a mom. I still see myself as a full-time mom. I’ll film episodes back to back, and then I go and I be a mom. I get to bring my kids to set. So. it’s cool.”

THE YOUNG AND THE BOLD
Wood is very impressed by B&B’s “new kids on the block,” Crew Morrow (Will), Sydney Bullock (Dylan), Brayan Nicoletti (R.J.) and Laneya Grace (Electra) and shared she likes where Steffy is at in 2026, “I like the steady right now. I don’t want to like hit my cortisol levels yet. The younger generation can do that right now. I love the younger generation. I think they’re doing such a fantastic job, I just want to lean in and let them go and let them do their thing. If Steffy needs to chime in she will do that, and if she needs to slap some people, she can do that too!”
As to what man is in Steffy’s future, if it’s remaining happily married to Finn (Tanner Novlan), rekindling a romance with her ex-Liam (Scott Clifton ) for the umpteenth time, or a new man enters Steffy’s life, Wood would not say the way things may go down the line.
Photo: JPI
When talked turned to Steffy’s former pain killer addiction, Jacqui did say that. “It’s always a possibility” for the show to bring that back when it makes sense for Steffy and to service the story.
You can check out the full conversation below, and all the BBTV launch party interview with the cast, now on the Michael Fairman Channel.
So, do you think Steffy will be giving everyone trouble at Forrester? Do you think she will stay with Finn for years to come? What story would you like to see Wood be given at this point on the daytime drama series? Weigh-in via the comment section.

I didn’t like the berry mess at all. All it will do is cause Taylor and Whip to break up and Stephanie family hating her and Brooke was the one who had Thomas eating the berries but it will be Taylor who eat one that will lose everything as usual. Brooke is a career slut who if she screw Thomas in front of Ridge, he will forgive, even thought when he found out that Taylor screwed James when she thought they were dying, he dump her for the Forrester slut. Him and Brooke deserve each other!
BROOKE HAS A ADDICTED SEX DECEASE. ITS A PHYSICAL FEELINGS SICKNESS. BROOKE ATE BERRIES IN HUNGER AND BY THE TIME THOMAS CAME TO ASK FOOD, SHES ALREADY DRUGED. BETWEEN THOMAS AND HER RELATIONSHIP IA AN INNOCENT, COMPARE TO OTHERS CRICIS.
Come on guys, Brooke is horrified even thinking she slept with her step-son. She loves Ridge and she thinks of Thomas as her son nothing else. I like this interview because I least it answers my questions…Brooke does not have any romantic feelings for her step son. She is a devoted wife and I just hope they have James Warwick come on to help Brooke to hyponitze her and she will see that nothing happen….when they woke up from the deep sleep they had on their clothes and that’s all I needed to see…to me and other’s that watch the show feel nothing happened…We just need Dr. Warwick to come in and show Brooke she did nothing wrong!!!! Brooke is no more of a sex addict than any of the women on the show even Taylor, Jackie, Donna and Katie and Steffy…they are all the same. What Brooke has done Taylor has done…Taylor’s indescretion’s are always swept under the rug…and Brooke’s trouble’s are always out there for people to judge her and hurt her!!!
A devoted wife? Come on! Brooke has done nothing but time & time again making her little “mistakes” and keeping “secrets” from Ridge every chance she gets! And now, she is keeping “BerryGate” a secret from Ridge, a/k/a “Gelding” again. I have always said that Bridge is a toxic mess & they need to implode – once & for all.
I agree with what you said. Your right all the women on that show has done the same.
First I would like to say Great job to all of the cast I love you all!!
As for Katherine LOL I LOVE to LOVE YOU and LOVE to hate you, you are so amazing you cant ever stay out of trouble but then when you cry about it I cant help but to cry with you. To Adam Great Job!! But I hae been watching since Im in kindergarden and Im now 28 and I LOVE LOVE LOVE this show and I LOVE YOU ALL Keep up the Great work!!! Best of Wishes ans Love to you ALL
Wherever this storyline is going, AG and KKL both shine as actors, especially when they’re together. I watch this show primarily for the two of them. They portrayed Thomas and Brooke’s desperation, fear, and hunger, brilliantly. The berry trip was entertaining, but I wish their story hadn’t been turned into another sex scandal. It was so powerful and captivating before the berries struck! TPTB could have DONE Brooke/Thomas from a psychologically complex angle…Thomas reaching for the stars, succeeding in the fashion world with Brooke as his business partner and having every young woman out there, but wanting the one woman he can’t have. It seemed like it was going that way at first. Or Brooke sees the young Ridge in Thomas, without all of the pain and sadness that the real Ridge has caused her. AG and KKL could have made real magic with that kind of material. Maybe there’s still hope! They’re ALWAYS a joy to watch.
Michael,
Another GREAT insight and article. Felt like I was right there in the room with you all. Great questions!
Love the soap, hate the story line! Enough already with Brooke accidentally falling onto another Forrester man (and the whole Taboo thing–blech!) So predictable. Great fun with Oliver but enough is enough!!!! If she gets pregnant I might be done (and I love this show).
Michael, you rock the heck out of these pieces. Keep up the great work! xoox
I don’t think that KKL or the guy who plays Thomas now, can act their way out of a paper bag. And that dress they had Dayzee wearing was beyond tacky. If Brooke would have slap Thomas face at the first tacky fashion show when he kissed her, none of the rest of this stupid storyline would have happen. That’s like when Brooke hiked her skirt like a two bit hooker in the open thinking it was Ridge and it was her daughter’s graduation at her MIL’s house, she brag about how good the sex was to Katie until she realized it was Oliver. Ridge deserve this career slut and for those that are talking about Steffie, she learn how to go after a married man from the best, Brooke Whoregon, watching her go after Ridge when he was married to her Mom.
I agree with your post. Brooke is put out there as this hero, when she has slept through every Forrester male & her daughters’ husbands/boyfriends. She has destroyed the Forrester family, as well as her children and Ridge’s children. The girl needs psychological help to find out why she feels a need to sleep with almost any man on the block
I just have to say that Brooke and Thomas doing the deed is just a shade to incestuous for my liking!! I know soaps are there for great drama but come on!! I refuse to believe that a young man would even feel the slightest desire for his father’s wife!!! What, when their are all these hot young female bodies floating around in his vicinity!!! Plus I keep thinking Brooke must have changed his diapers or cleaned his bottom once in a while while he was growing up!! Should’nt that put a damper on their libido??? But have to say that no mattter who she plays against, young or old she has great chemistry!!!
I agree with you Nellifer. It is one thing if Ridge just met Brooke and they got married and Thomas fell in love with his new step-mom. But it is something completely different when you raise a child and all of a sudden he has romantic feelings for you and you have romantic feelings for him. You wiped his a$$ and his nose for goodness sake. That is just twisted.
I think all the actors are pushed too far ,the show need some stable times to improve the Forester Company and bring the others to the front line like the granchildren ,brothers and sisters. We bairly know anything about them, or where they are. I know they might be side characters, but they deserve some screen time to flesh them out.
I would love to see Throne with a new lover. We can barely recognize who Bridget is.
I can,t belief what everybody says if brooke,but she and thomas hade not sex,taylor can go out serien now and stephanie also,they make brooke and ridge very badly.
I don’t want to hear that Thomas and Brooke ever stepped over the line.come on, how many times will Ridge be able to forgive her/i like Brooke and Ridge together if for nothing else than to keep that miserable Taylor away from Ridge.i’m not liking Taylor much any more, Tawny is a joke, and Steffy is a spoiled brat.I love Oliver, poor Thorne is part of the background,and i don’t want to see Hope end up with Liam.How did she forgive her Mother and not Oliver who she supposedly loved so much! Leave Brooke and Ridge alone , bring back bridget and the baby and lets have some action between Owen, Jackie and bridget.i like KKL so much but give someone else air time and make someone else the villian.Also, love AG new look.Now he really looks like his Fathers’ son!
KKL took the money all the way to the bank playing a career slut from the valley. Now they are trying to dress her as Suesie homemaker and have her be a at home Mother. Her and Ridge have spent no time with their son RJ until the other day. No, I never want Ridge with Taylor again because nasty as Brooke and Ridge have been to other people about them belonging together, they deserve each other.
I don’t agree with some of the fans. KKL is not as great an actress as everyone thinks. She got lucky playing this role which repeats and repeats the same old story in different forms. Constantly throwing Brooke and Thomas together in different settings, will always be suspicious. The same goes for Taylor who has lied to Whit so many times about her feelings for Ridge. Same old…same old….and so on…..
Stop picking on the actors because you’re basically saying you’re instable and immoral like most of the wannabe “characters.”
with all the things that brooke did i know for a fact that she did sleep with thomas and this will come out and they will do it again ahe already told thomas that she looked so much like his father i know she sill leave ridge for thomas that slut has no morals anyway she always uses sex before her barain…..
