:)Awesome, Janice! Now this is what I would tune in for.

So, Brooke has THREE men reminiscing about her? Priceless! Damn, which one should win?

I loved the part about Dave discussing Brooke's reaction to the woman who was beaten.

And Ridge is scummy as always. I am guessing he tells little Jack to call him Mr. Forrester, Imagine being so self-involved that he can't even love his stepson.

Hag is something else, putting ideas in BooHoo's head. And BooHoo, the perennial victim, buys them. I have to wonder who Hag has in mind for the tramp?

BooHoo is as loathsome as Ridge. Imagine being so petty as to lay down ground rules to Nick about his son. She and Ridge are so pathetic they would make quite the couple.

I will probably post more later.

I've gotta admit, I love the idea of all three of Brooke's ex-loves vying for her! I would almost feel bad for Bridget being manipulated by Stephanie if she wasn't so damn vile. Instead I'll just hope that in the end she comes to realize that she's being played & has some payback for Steph.
Maybe she can find out that Ridge is really her daddy & then she can take Eric from Stephanie. LOLOLOL.. Fourth of July times 15! I'm really kidding, that would be too disgusting, maybe she could just let Stephanie think that.. and it would be enough to give her a stroke, for real!

I know I have been dreadfully bad about leaving comments, or shall I say not leaving comments for you. Sorry, still loving your stories.

Thanks for reading, Gio.

Thorne is probably out of the running by his own decision. He loves Brooke and regrets what happened in their marriage, but he is still carrying a real torch for Darla. And he is enjoying just having a great friend in Brooke again. He needs someone totally new.

Nick is another story - he says too much has happened for them to go back. But, unlike Thorne, he hasn't met anyone else who has really touched him. And he and Brooke will share the heartbreak over how Ridge is treating their son. Nick loves Hope, RJ, and Jack. He doesn't care who their fathers are.

Dave loved the Brooke he used to know and is surprised at how attracted he is to the one who walked into the gallery. He wants her back , he wants her happy, and he doesn't have Thorne's or Nick's baggage.

Ridge feels very threatened by Jack (and Nick), but he won't admit it. He is pushing Brooke away and there are loving arms just waiting for her.

Stephanie and Bridget are just being themselves. Stephanie has a couple men in mind for Bridget, but will they be interested in a self-pitying child?

Thanks again.

Thanks, FB. As I told Gio, Thorne is probably out of the competition for Brooke. But he is furious at Ridge's treatment of her and might "ride in on a white horse" to protect her. What could that turn into? (Of course, the other two Musketeers (Nick and Dave) would be next to him.

Bridget is totally blind to Stephanie's manipulation of her and the ulterior motives. It's no wonder she idolized Taylor when she was young - they both read people equally well. She will finally tumble to Stephanie's games, but it is already too late for her marriage. And it may be too late for her relationship with her mother, too.

I love your scenario, but it won't work here. Maybe in For Love or Money? You have Jackie connecting with Eric; why not have Bridget and Massimo fall madly in love and leave Stephanie out in the cold. Eric with Jackie and Massimo with Bridget - that would frost her cookies.

I love your comments, but I understand that you are busy. I do appreciate that you read my little stories.
