When events couldn't get much worse a man by the name of Shane McGrath (Dax Griffin) arrived in town to blackmail Taylor, claiming he saw the accident.

Brooke decided to divorce Nick which blew Nick's feud with the Forresters into full blown chaos. As of recently Nick has taken control of Forrester Creations twice (the second time made it official). After firing the Forresters from their own company, he lost any chance of Brooke possibly reuniting with him and she decided to go back to Ridge.

After divorcing Nick, Brooke went back to Ridge, hoping to rekindle their romance. After they became engaged Ridge's daughter and Brooke's son began a romantic courtship. Ridge, greatly displeased, punched Brooke's son. Terrified and heartbroken that Ridge could treat her son this way, Brooke broke off their engagement and ran right back to Nick. Nick meanwhile had begun a relationship with Taylor, Ridge's ex-wife. Only when Taylor and Nick became engaged and decided to have a baby did Brooke back off. Her hopes to reunite with Ridge were dashed when he revealed a new relationship with Ashly Abbot, the rich daughter of Genoa City's John Abbot. Making his feelings for Ashley clear, Ridge told Brooke they would never be together again. Brooke's world began to fall apart at the prospect of being alone the rest of her life. She stayed out late at night and fell into a deep depression. After she was accused of neglecting her children, and lost custody, her life began to spiral out of control. Seeing that Brooke was vulnerable and an easy target, Stephanie convinced a sleazy lawyer to scare Brooke away from Ridge. However he did more than just 'scare' her. Breaking into Brooke's house one night the man raped Brooke. Depressed and completely alone Brooke turned to Ridge for comfort. However she was devastated to learn that he had planned on proposing to Ashley, who was jealous of the time Ridge was spending with a terrified Brooke. Unable to accept Ridge didn't want her back Brooke continued to meddle in his life. However Ashley told Brooke to back off and accused Brooke of using her rape and her and Ridge's son, RJ, to win Ridge back. Finally accepting that Ridge had moved on Brooke slowly began to put her life back together. After discussing the birth of Nick and Taylor's son Jack with Ridge, Brooke found that Ridge was still in love with her. He announced that she was the one for him and he was going to end his engagement with Ashley Abbot and remarry Brooke.
After the two were engaged again, Brooke discovered that her eggs were used for Nick and Taylor's invitro process instead of another woman's, making Brooke the biological mother. Brooke's inability to stay away from little Jack resulted in Nick and Taylor getting a divorce and Nick one again professing his love to Brooke causing her to prospone her wedding to Ridge.
The Logan Family
When the show first aired, the glamorous world of the Forresters was emphasized by the other original core family, the working-class Logan family.

Though at first Sally and Stephanie Forrester were bitter enemies, in later years they developed a friendship; Sally even went to work at Forrester Creations after she finally made the decision to shut down her own company.
Thorne and Macy
Sally's daughter Macy, a singer, underwent many traumas, most notably alcoholism.

Macy speeded the car up, and tried to kill both herself and Brooke. Macy lost control of the car. Brooke was rescued but, Macy was unable to escape and was presumed dead.
It later came to light that she was saved by her father, Adam Alexander (Michael Swan), and went into hiding with him abroad because Adam was wanted by the mob. Adam Alexander (aka Myles Fairchild) is a Fictional character in the American Soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful After being discovered in Italy during a Forrester vs. Spectra "fashion showdown", Macy relocated back to Los Angeles where she reunited with Thorne Forrester.

Weeks later, Macy was gravely injured at a nightclub where she was headlining as a singer. Macy went into a coma and it was implied that her family pulled the plug off-camera.
Massimo Marone and his Family
In recent years, the Spectra family and friends have been supplanted by the introduction of Massimo Marone. Massimo Marone is a billionaire shipping magnate who was a childhood friend of Stephanie Douglas. When Stephanie and Massimo dated in college they slept together once just before Stephanie first slept with Eric Forrester.
After forty-something years, a medical crisis revealed that Eric could not be Ridge's biological father Massimo was. Shortly thereafter, Jacqueline Payne (Lesley-Anne Down), a former lover of Massimo, arrived on scene and announced that her son, Dominick "Nick" Payne a capitan at Marone Industries, was also fathered by Massimo. Jacqueline "Jackie" Marone (previously Payne) is a Fictional character in the US Soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful Lesley-Anne Down (born 17 March 1954 is an English actress who is best known for her roles as Georgina Worsley in the ITV period drama Unlike Ridge, Nick wasn't a businessman and also changed his name to Marone however Ridge was Massimo's favorite son. Massimo and Jackie have had an on-again-off-again marriage that ended in divorce due to Jackie's infidelity and concealment of the true paternity of Massimo's grandson R. J. Forrester.
Who is the father?
As with other soaps, on "The Bold and the Beautiful" with the arrival of a new baby there are often doubts as to who is the father. When Ridge delivered Brooke's daughter, Bridget, they believed Ridge was the father (and she was named for him). Eric revealed he had had sex with Brooke around the time of conception. A DNA test showed Ridge was the father, but it had been tampered with by Sheila Carter. Deoxyribonucleic acid ( DNA) is a Nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known It was not until Bridget was a young girl that her true paternity was revealed, making Ridge her half-brother. Ridge himself later discovered, to the shock of everyone, that Eric was not his biological father. It was revealed that around the time Stephanie and Eric began their relationship back in college, she had slept with Massimo Marone. Oddly, Ridge and Bridget, no longer related, developed feelings for each other and shared a brief flirtation. Massimo learned of another son he had not known about: Nick Payne, who took the name Marone.
In the later period of 2003 to the early segment of 2004, Brooke became pregnant - and so another paternal mystery was created. Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " While Ridge was presumed dead, Nick had intercourse with Brooke. At this time Brooke was married to Ridge, who happens to be Nick’s half brother. Ridge later had intercourse with Brooke in a steam room. He believed that he had gotten Brooke pregnant then, and asked her to take a home pregnancy test. When she was proven pregnant - Brooke confessed everything to Ridge, who then took the story the wrong way, and believed that Nick took advantage of a mourning Brooke - he referred to it as a fashion of rape. One paternity test (that stated Nick was the father) was sabotaged by Sally; though the show made it uncertain of whether her tinkering was successful. The second test's results were unknown to the viewers, as the doctor (the only person who knew of the undocumented paternal results) died while trying to give Brooke, Ridge and Nick the results. Deacon Sharpe tried informing Brooke that the first paternal test may have been incorrect as may the unknown second one have been, but Jacqueline managed to convince Deacon to keep quiet - for the sake of her son, Nick. Deacon Sharpe was a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He has made many changes because of his child; he stopped smoking and finally stood up to Ridge - after allowing himself to be pushed around for months.
In 2007, The Bold and the Beautiful broke new ground with their 'who is the mother' storyline. After newly wed Taylor and Nick found out she could no longer have children they decided to use an egg donor. However, unbeknownst to them Nick's ex-wife Brooke, still had frozen eggs at the hospital under Nick's surname, Marone. After Taylor became pregnant, a nosy janitor pointed out that Brooke's eggs may have been mistakenly used instead of the egg donor's. It wasn't until after the birth of Taylor and Nick's son, Jack, that a genetic disorder revealed Brooke was his mother.
Back from the dead
In The Bold and the Beautiful just like other soap operas, there is a disputable phenomenon of characters that have "died," but later on, they have "returned" to life and once again returned to the series.

Criticisms
The show has enjoyed success by focusing on telling stories involving the core Forrester family, in particular sticking to a core group of characters: Eric, Stephanie, Ridge, Taylor, Brooke, Thorne, and Macy. However, the show has been criticized at times for not having a well-developed "B" storyline and for, at times, overexposing the core characters. Unlike other US soaps currently on the air, it is not uncommon for B&B to devote entire shows or even a week's worth of shows to a single storyline.
The show has also been criticized for the sometimes breakneck speed in which it changes storylines, in particular with changes in romantic pairings. It is important to note that although the show is sometimes criticized for rapid changes, several leading soap critics, including Carolyn Hinsey, have lauded the show for knowing when a story isn't working, and changing or ending the story as a result (such as the 2005 romantic story involving Bridget and Ridge). It is, however, disconcerting that storylines are sometimes dropped without any kind of resolution.
Recasting is also a controversial, yet ongoing, fixture on the show. In the show's 20 year history, many characters have been played by two or more actors, often leading to a viewer backlash. One such instance was the 2004 recast of Bridget Forrester from Emmy-winner Jennifer Finnigan to relative newcomer Emily Harrison. "MMIV" redirects here For the Modest Mouse album see " Baron von Bullshit Rides Again " Dr Bridget Forrester is a Fictional character on the American CBS Soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. Jennifer Christina Finnigan (born August 22, 1979) is a Canadian actress Emily Harrison (born June 11, 1976 in Louisiana Missouri) is an American actress Viewers did not adjust well to the new Bridget and Harrison was soon downgraded to recurring status. In the US Soap opera world recurring status is a term used to describe the status of a performer who consistently performs in less than three episodes The mistake was rectified later that year when former The Young and the Restless star Ashley Jones stepped into the role. The Young and the Restless is a 39 time Emmy Award winning American Television Soap opera, first broadcast on CBS on March 26 Ashley Aubra Jones (born September 3, 1976 in Memphis Tennessee) is an American television Soap opera actress from Memphis Jones has consistently remained with the show since. B&B has also had many other successful recasts, such as Winsor Harmon's Thorne Forrester, Lesli Kay's Felicia Forrester and Patrick Duffy's Stephen Logan. Winsor Harmon aka Winsor Dewey Harmon III, born on November 22 1963, in Crowley Louisiana) is an Thorne Forrester is a Fictional character on CBS Soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.

Patrick G Duffy (born March 17, 1949) is an American Television Actor who has appeared primarily in Soap operas and Stephen Logan Sr is a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. The recast of Rick Forrester from Emmy-winning Justin Torkildsen to ex-Days of our Lives star Kyle Lowder in 2007 met a mixed reaction from fans. Eric "Rick" Forrester Jr is a Fictional character in the CBS Soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. Justin Torkildsen (born July 3, 1981 in Boulder Colorado, USA) is an Emmy Award -winning Actor, best known for his Days of Our Lives is an American Soap opera, which has aired nearly every weekday since November 8 1965 on the NBC network in the United Kyle Brandon Lowder (born August 27, 1980 in St Louis Missouri) is an American Actor. It was announced in July 2007 that three-time Emmy winner Heather Tom, famous for portraying Victoria Newman on Y&R from 1991 to 2003, would join the cast of B&B as Katie, the younger sister of Brooke and Donna Logan, a role previously played by Nancy Sloan.

Finally, the relatively small cast has led to many romantic pairings and love triangles involving family members and in-laws. Some of the most controversial ones have been the romantic attraction shared between Ridge and his former half-sister/stepdaughter Bridget, as well as the recent attraction shared by Rick and his much younger step-niece Phoebe. Though the characters were not biologically related, this had not been established on the show until the 2002 reveal of Massimo being Ridge's biological father. Additionally, many of the show's storylines have featured siblings or a parent/child in love with and/or competing for the affections of the same character. The character of Brooke has been famously married to several members of the same family: Besides once being married to Nick, she has also had a long-running romance with Nick's half-brother Ridge, which has led to several marriages and a child. She was also previously married to Ridge's half-brother Thorne and Thorne's father Eric, with whom she also has two children. Finally, she had an affair with her daughter Bridget's husband Deacon, which resulted in yet another child. Notably, Nick was also recently married to Bridget for a while. A saving point for many viewers with respect to Brooke's romantic pairings has been Katherine Kelly Lang's notable chemistry with most of her male co-stars.
