Wow, Fan2c, that was just fantastic. I guess good things really ARE worth waiting for
Where to start? I'm so happy Brooke woke up! And that she remembered what had happened before she became unconscious, and also that she knew how close to death she had come, and what had happened between her and Caroline, and her and Grip. I hope Whip is really going to believe in her, and that he'll understand that it was for real, and not only the drugs talking.
Poor Deacon. He's still in a very bad place, isn't he? And Bridget is such a snot! I can't believe she actually talked to her mom's new husband like that. It was also in a way insinuating that he himself was only thinking with his er hormones when he was with Brooke. I hope Deacon will keep the secret, and that he will get over his strong feelings for Brooke. I can understand why Breacon happened in your story, I really never could when it happened onscreen.
Ridge and Taylor are so out of tune it's funny. I can't believe she doesn't understand pure friendship between men and women, and why she always feels threatened when Ridge pays attention to a beautiful / sexy woman. She must feel really out of her league herself, and I kind of feel sorry for her. It's amazing how she's feeding off of Stephanie's hatred, and I had a good laugh at the description of Nightingale's first meeting with the Forrester's. It's good to see that Stephanie didn't start hating only Brooke on first sight. She's so full of hate it's scary. And I have always thought it came from jealousy, she's always getting down on good-looking women who are not afraid to be feminine and sexy.
Ridge is a good friend here, and he has friends outside of the circles Taylor knows about, and that's really good! I'm glad he could listen to Tom, and feel his pain. And I hope this will be an eye-opener to him as to what kind of woman his mom and his wife are. Maybe he'll see that they're just as self-righteous and haughty as the mean women who drove Claire away from Tom, and realize that that's not the kind of woman he wants to be with. I don't want him with Brooke, but I don't think he should stay being unhappy with Taylor either.
Thanks again for a great chapter, and please don't make us wait this long for the next one...

Hi, Lexxie! Good to see someone is still able to enjoy Brooke and Whip. Itfs been so long I wasnft sure readers would still be interested.
Yes, Brooke is starting back on the long road to recovery. I donft think thatfs any big surprise but there are still a few twists and turns to weather before she is back on her feet and in fighting mode. Shefs floating in and out of consciousness with a head injury and a system full of drugs. By the time shefs back to herself she may well be confused over what was real and what wasnft. Especially as the veil between worlds closes and others start to explain away what happened to her. Real or imagine, it can be hard to distinguish. Throw in a few little puzzlers to muddy the waters, coincidence? Maybe they didnft hear her right? Who knows? Personal belieffs will leave it open to interpretation.
Brooke and Deacon were in a bad way when they collided that memorable night. They weathered one hell of a storm together. Bridgetfs mother, Brooke pulled away immediately and ran from what happened. The last thing she wanted to do is hurt Bridget. Deacon doesnft want to hurt her either, but he just canft let the most life affirming thing hefs ever experienced go. He knows the odds are against him for working things out in his favor, and hefs going through the wringer as he fluctuates between trying to let go and holding on to hope.
Bridget is mindlessly parroting the two most vocal figures in her life, Stephanie and Taylor. Shefs even adopted their proclivity for blaming her mother for her own dissatisfaction and disappointments rather than look at herself. Brooke feels guilty for not being able to give Bridget the stable, two parent childhood and father she wanted for her, although she tried her best. Brooke counts that as a real failure. And Bridget milks it for all she is worth with her poor, pitiful me litany. In reality, Bridget missed a lot of the drama but she sure heard about it. And from the story she tells we know who she heard it from. Like her esteemed role models, Bridget uses her mother as an excuse, crutch and attention getter to further her own agenda. Steph and Taylor instilled it by playing hot and cold with Bridget, they taught her the way to fit in and gain familial approval was to mimic theyfre behavior. What it must have done to a young girls mind to be told she was superior to her mother only to see her mother enjoy the things she wanted for herself, professional acclaim and male attention, while being seen by her peers as somewhat nerdy and awkward! Whip sees the abuse Taylor and Stephanie heaped on the starry-eyed young girl from the valley who fell for Ridge and wanted nothing more than to love him and fit in. He also sees the game Bridget is playing, and he wonft stand for it from any of them. I donft see Bridget caring one whit about Whipfs libido unless she can use it for her own ends or it gets in the way of what she wants.
Stephanie, Taylor, and Ridge are so toxic for one another. They all got sucked into a vicious cycle of using each other. Steph lives her life through Ridge and uses Taylor to shackle him to her side without usurping her #1 position in his life. I think Taylor became Stephaniefs lackey because she was looking for a mother figure to protect her and approval. She was lured into Stephaniefs perfect dream, the illusion of Mrs. Ridge Forrester and the perfect family, but she has a problem, the real man doesnft fit in that picture. Poor Ridge, he more than anyone bears the brunt of trying to make his mother happy plus he has this burning need for approval and adulation. And no wonder, he thinks he gets it from those two, but . . . They talk him up with their mouths only to slap him down with their actions. It is a sick, sick game they play.
Some friends from Ridgefs past are coming on scene and are going to shake things up. Not so surprising, treat Ridge like a friend and a caring, compassionate adult and see what happens as long as his mother and Taylor arenft around. He might have some surprises in him yet.
I see Dana as a fatal attraction type. In this case, an unstable young woman who preyed on a man in a vulnerable moment. I donft think she even knew he had a wife or would have cared if she did, but she saw an opportunity and jumped on it. She was living out this fantasy in her head and went crazy when it didnft play out like shefd planned. The situation is out of control and like so many stupid, drunken lapses itfs not only costing Tom but those he cares most for.
Thank you for reading and responding!

Well Fan2C,
I have a very good excuse for not immediately reading and commenting. It has taken me until this very moment to refresh my memory by re-reading this entire fanfic from the beginning!! Even the odd minute at work (and we are busy now)
But I'm glad I did, I have all the plot and characters straight in my head again.
I am glad Brooke is awake again (note!! to certain other fanfic writers......)
I almost feel sorry for Mass, missing out on his son's lives, especially Whip. I presume the letter Brooke had written for Whip was about Ridge's paternity?
Thanks goodness we were not treated to a visual on Mass's birthmark.................... sounds like even Steph has not seen it for a while....
At last Ridge is a bit more sympathetic in this chapter, reaching out to Tom.
I like the descriptions of Taylor's frozen visage, and the breasts that stick up even when she lies down, lol.
I have a solution to the problem at hand.....kill Bridget... not really, but she is annoying! (no Ridget in this story!)
Obviously Deacon did not fight back against his stepdad because he basically wants to die, any more meetings with the tawny-haired mystery woman from the bar??
And Rafe and Megan??? Hmmmmm
So Brooke is about 32 weeks pregnant now??? When the story started she was 6 months.
Please not as long next time or I will have to take another 3 days out of my life again...................
Thnaks for another packed long chapter!

I’m so glad that you continued this story. I’ve been wondering about how Brooke was going to come out of this for a long time, and thought that I’d have two comatose Brooke’s to deal with for eternity (note to Pam, WAKE HER UP TOO) but thank you for making it just one! LOL!
I’ve never made it a secret that I adore Deacon and adore your Deacon and still find myself rooting for him to win. I know he won’t and little by little I’ve come to appreciate your Whip and see what it is that has captured Brooke’s heart in this story. He is kind, he is loving, he is stubborn, he is forgiving, he is funny, he is patient and he is loyal. You really can’t ask for much more can you? And yet you throw in that little sparkle that is Deacon and once more I want him to just grab Brooke and for them to run and find what they had once more. I think that even in your story there is a small part of Brooke that would do that, she cares deeply for Deacon, but she can’t and won’t ever do that to her daughter, and she has also fallen in love with Whip. Deacon does need to free himself from Bridget though. It’s a bad situation that will only get worse. He’s not in love with her and never will be. She is far too emotionally immature to be married to him or to anyone for that matter. Brooke’s initial pleas to Deacon were to end it, that is what started their ball rolling, and both are wrong if they think that perpetuating this marriage is in the best interest of protecting Bridget. It’s really more about protecting themselves and their child. I’m sure it will eventually get out, all secrets do. I’m very interested in the fallout that will occur in your story.
I can’t help noticing the selfishness of Bridget growing and growing. I don’t like her, I don’t root for her and frankly, with her attitude about her mother I’m looking forward to seeing her ‘get hers’ when the you know what hits the fan.
I enjoyed Whip’s scenes with his family, with Deacon and especially with Bridget. He’s growing a lot too. He’s seeing the entire world around him, the happy, safe bubble that he and Brooke were in is gone now and with Brooke unconscious it’s all falling on his shoulders. He’s been hit with so many realities at once and he’s doing an amazing job with them, all while worrying and sitting vigil at his wife’s side. He gets so angry at Deacon and yet he does have sympathy and understanding. He knows what it is to love Brooke and he knows how hard it would be for him to have to give her up, so he can understand Deacon’s pain, and yet he doesn’t just give him a free pass. But he is really seeing the reality of what Brooke and Deacon shared too. It can’t be easy for him but I respect him more and more as he deals with it in a mature and caring way. He’s also growing in leaps and bounds with his family. They see the changes and are pleased and amused. He doesn’t see them all himself but being with Brooke has made him closer to all those around him that he loves. As for Bridget, he listened, he tried to be fair, but he didn’t let her get away with her Tay/Steph parroting act and total disrespect for her mother. These scenes alone made me love Whip and hate Bridget even more LOL! Oh please, please, please free Deacon from this brat.
Taylor and Stephanie are both such pieces of work. You’ve captured everything that I’ve hated about them and brought it all out front and center. I think they must have a little humanity hidden deep inside but I’m not seeing it. Perhaps if they have to endure a tragedy of their own we will see it. At this point, I am even wishing Ridge, a character that I loathe, to be free of them. I had to laugh at Stephanie still seeing Caroline as the perfect wife and throwing HER into Taylor’s face, but I have to agree with Taylor’s assessment. Caroline wouldn’t have been able to keep him, it would have ended and she would have been hurt. Taylor is like Stephanie and she is controlling. Caroline was kind and she would have ended up in much the same way as Brooke.
As for Ridge, you’ve shown me a side of him that I can root for. He has compassion and he knows friendship. He was caring and patient with Tom, even if a part of him, that very real ego maniac part, still lusts for Tom’s wife. But then, that is such a huge part of Ridge that I’m not even sure that I could fault him on it.
You’ve also created two people that in this one short chapter, I’ve come to love and care about and root for. I want to see Tom and Claire make it. I want something to bring them back together and I want that deep and true love to overcome the horror of Dana. Tom made one mistake, one that while bad, was forgivable. He was very repentant and Claire loved him enough to completely forgive him. It seems very hopeless, Claire has given all she could give, but maybe with some time and with a lot of support and some truth coming out, they could have a chance to get it back. I do have to wonder if Ridge will see her as ‘free’ and hope for a go with his Nightengale. Oh yes, I loved the story of Ridge bringing her to the party. Please give us more Claire. And let her meet Brooke, I think they’d enjoy each other LOL!
I’m anxious to see Brooke fully wake up and for real life to start again. There is so much more to happen, and not just her coming home or giving birth. Secrets will come out and lives will change.
Thanks for the chapter and please don’t make us wait so long next time!

The whole thing!!! That is what I need to do. Three days, huh?
Mass is starting to get an inkling of what he missed out on, and I promise you itfs only going to get worse. I think youfll get a kick out of some of the devilish digs coming his way. I cut the letter business from this chapter, it was getting way too long. But there will be something in the next chapter. And as far as Stephanie remembering Massfs birthmark, I doubt she ever noticed it. She doesnft hit me as the type to physically savor her men so closely. You can bet she saw Ridgefs when she was diapering him, but there too I donft see her marking it as something to commit to memory. Shefs obsessed with control rather than the physical. She is inordinately interested in Ridgefs sex life, but I see it as a control issue rather than her suppressing some sick desire to do him. She is afraid of some sexy vixen stealing him out from under her domination. And Ridge has shown she has reason to worry, the only time he has slipped her bondage and stood up to her is when he was moved to by what she saw as great sex. He may not have gotten free for long, but at least he made the attempt.
Ifm glad you saw Ridge as sympathetic in this chapter. Hefs a trapped man in a life that doesnet fit. And I see Taylor as sympathetic too. Her visits to her cosmetic surgeon is a symptom of her dysfunction in her quest to be perfect and earn the prize. Itfs really very sad. And Bridget is setting out along the same path as Stephanie and Taylor have trod before her, blaming her mother for her mistakes, shortcomings, and disappointments. Will it keep her from finding what she is truly looking for as it has her two mentors?
Deacon has seen the light and hefs trying to break old patterns. Do you think the tawny-haired woman is the one to take him the next step forward? Wefll see! I donft think Rafe is quite over Ava, but wefll see Megan try to pull him out of it. Will she be successful?
Goodness youfre from Australia and Lexxie is from Switzerland; Ifm read internationally. That blows my mind! Ifm so glad youfre still reading and enjoying Abyss, Ifll try not to make you wait so long again.

Your comments do me proud, Dot! You got so much of what I was working hard to convey. I was sure many would wonder why I bothered with that scene between Whip and his mother, aunt and uncle. But I thought it was important to show how Whip became the caring, observant man he is and how hefs changing and just what hefs getting out of his relationship with Brooke. I donft want him seen as some knight in shining armor charging to her rescue but as a man who gets as good as he gives in his new marriage. He may have had to shoulder a financial and emotional burden with his mother at an early age but there was love there and emotional support. Hefs coming into his own.
I know you have a soft spot for Deacon, so do I. He was shaped by a past that was an emotional wasteland that included an abusive stepfather. Now hefs experienced something that turned his life around, but he canft have it. Can he handle the pain and frustration of losing once again? Unfortunately Bridget is his ticket to remaining as close as he can to Brooke and his child, but can he pay the price and make the sacrifice living with her will cost him? Hefs caught. Brooke got swept away with Deacon at a vulnerable moment, but her love for her daughter made her back off as soon as she came to her senses. For her daughterfs sake she refused to even consider her feelings for Deacon. She pushed them away. But you know what happened meant something to her, because she never considered not having the baby. That would have been the easy way out, but she chose to shoulder the risks and have it.
Bridget is a sheltered, pampered child who picked up on Stephanie and Taylorfs song and dance and uses it as an excuse and source of attention. Bridget is an awkward, late bloomer who found comfort in adopting the youfre oh so special litany and better than your mother manure poured in her ear to explain why common humans ruled by their base desires donft appreciate her. Will she finally get a clue or continue to buy Stephanie and Taylorfs biases? I think youfre going to like what Ifve got coming down the pike for her.
Stephanie and Taylor have been playing their song and dance so long that while in the beginning they may have been able to recognize the truth after years of reinforcing and egging on each others delusions theyfve lost it. The two donft even like Ridge, all they want to do is change him. And wefve seen who Ridge is under their influence and what hefs like when hefs been with Brooke. You tell me which is healthier and happier for him. Now wefve gotten a glimpse of who he is when hefs around friends who accept and appreciate Ridge for who he really is. More to come.
Ifm glad you like Tom and Claire. Itfs hard to weave in new characters and show who they are without just etelling.f Youfve got a few key things to learn about what happened to Claire before this whole thing will make complete sense, but Ifve made a start at meshing them into the fabric of the story. Itfs good to hear Ifve piqued your interest. Wefll have to see if they can go back or if what happened broke it forever.
Brooke is waking up and will play more prominently in the next chapter. Herefs a little preview, in the next chapter shefs going to plan a night with Whip I think will have you in stitches and shefs going to kick a couple of butts I think youfll really enjoy. Thanks for your comments, they really help me continue with the story!

fan2c I knew you had it in you to continue! I just love this story and I have been waiting on pins and needles. I just happened to get on the board yesterday after several days away and found chapter 22. What a great Christmas/New Years present. Please don't make us wait so long for the next chapter, it's my favorite!
Thanks for the previews, I can't wait!

Glad to see you found the latest chapter Beth. You were one of my biggest supporters getting me started with Abyss and urging me to continue. I haven't forgotten. So this was your favorite chapter yet, huh? I seem to remember hearing that from you quite a few times before, LOL! It's good to hear I'm still improving!

Clare. My heart breaks for her. She's like the flip side of Brooke. These two women have a lot in common. I think they could make great friends. Ridge has great taste in women when his mom is not involved.
Can Dana die already?
I like that Ridge has friends, that we're learning more about his past.
I love Whip's family being there for him and Brooke. I only wish the Forresters were around so they could see how a real family acts.
Whip is a strong man, I would have slapped Bridget silly. Maybe that can happen later on? Or maybe he throws her over his knee and give her the spanking she so richly deserves.
I'm glad Brooke's awake and on her way to recovery.
Can Taylor be in the tragic accident with Dana?
Excellent job,
Yash

I think Clare and Brooke would hit it off too. It will develop slowly, there will be some things coming up that will get in the way, then things will take an interesting twist. I wish I could write faster. So you don’t care much for Dana and Taylor? LOL Dana is delusional and deranged, while Taylor has her own problems and is a trained manipulator. I don’t know which is worse. But the story needs both of them before they can disappear. I see Ridge on the verge of a midlife crisis. Lucky some friends from his past are arriving on scene, we’ll see if they help the problem or make it worse. Whip’s got a strong support system in his family, and like most of us doesn’t truly appreciate what he’s got in them. But his eyes are starting to open and understand how they figured in to make him the man he’s becoming. And that in turn affects them in return, especially his mother. Bridget is starting on a journey of discovery herself, will it make her or break her? Brooke is waking up in more ways than one. Here she comes, and some of them better watch out!

You stayed away for a long time and I was so upset but I have to think that it was well worth the time off. PLEASE!!!! don't leave us again. Fan this chapter was so FANtastic!!! I loved every moment of it. I'm just so sorry that it's taken me so long to respond. I read it on Thursday but this morning before I posted, I reread it again because it was everthing that the show isn't!
I love Claire..well Nightingale...now I do have to admit, it had been a while so I couldn't remember who she was. So I went to the previous chapter to make sur ethat I didn't miss something. But I have to say that Stephanie's flashback about this woman had be preeming with enjoyment! I love it! A woman who could stand up to Stephanie. I loved the part when she unzipped the dress and stood in her underwear at Stephanie's party, dressing down Ridge and Stephanie. This is a woman that Ridge needed in his life. Fan, I've missed your fantastic detailed descriptions and use of words. You described everyone's receations so perfectly, from Eric, to Felicia to Kristen and Caroline. SOO, that's when the bitch decided that Caroline would be "better" suited for Ridge than Thorne. Isnt' it amazing that she's totally discounted Thorne's feelings because he isn't her percious son.
But what I found to be vastly amusing was Taylor's feelings about Caroline. See, to me, Caroline was at least closer to being a "Saint" than Taylor. Though Taylor thought that Caroline couldn't see to Ridge's needs and she couldnt. Oh PLEASE! Then she complains that she deserves the halo for putting up with "Ridge's wild ways." If she doesn't like who she's married too, then divorce him.
I loved Whip's conversation with Bridget. It's time that someone take the time to set this girl straight. Her mother isn't the enemy. Whips summation of her seeing men like Stephanie was accurate. Stephanie belives that a woman is "responsible" for man's lust, that he has no control over it. WHip is right about so many things, about the things that Bridget THINKS she knows and doesn't. Stephanie and Taylor have been her idols for way to long when there own marriages have problems. Moreever, Brooke was a model for Brooke's Bedroom, not a whore. Bridget needs to see that the money they've made, she's benifited from.
I loved how you gave us the rundown of Claire's history and who she was so easily with the phone conversation. It was to the point an insightful. Poor Claire. I feel for her. Having her husband cheat on her. Get a stranger pregant and agree to help her husband with the child. NOTW THIS WOMAN IS A REAL SAINT. She dealt with Dana in a way that I'm sure that nobody could do. She tried, was harrassed and hulimated. I also can have respect for Tom for telling her the truth and NOT coming home to have sex with his wife giving her a disease. That is something Ridge could have learned, as much as I can't stand Taylor, it was a total lack of respect and regard for her health when he had unprotected sex with Morgan and went home to her bed. This distrubed me deeply with Bell's writing. He never dealth with the issue when Taylor found out. She was more angry about the baby and when the baby died, she slept with Ridge right away the day after she found out the truth. There were no anger or upset about her contacting an STD. There was no testing. She simply assumed that Morgan was "safe." that is a disgusting message to send. There are men outhere cheating on their wives, and coming home to give their wives an STD. That is unacceptable. But...I digress...Tom's suffering...good but at the same time, I feel for him as well.
I had to laugh at Taylor's now antics...seeing a threat where there is none. I loved how you brought up all the
"humliations" of Taylor at the hand of the Big Bad Brooke. LOL Taylor refuses to actually look at the truth. The man wouldn't treat you like that if you couldn't let them. Claire had known when enough was enough but not Taylor. SHE is the saint. SHE deserves to be Ridge's wife therefore SHE deserves the degretation that her husband puts her through. I would respect Taylor so much more if she'd walk away. Just walk away and then I'd finally respect her. It's true Ridge has 'friends" he will always have "friends". If she wants better, she needs to take the reins and lead her own life away from Ridge.
This was simply wonderful. You've given us a new character with major potentional and another fantastic storyline. Please give us more!

Oh Missy, your comments made me feel so good! And you point up why comments are so important. It is good to hear the character of Nightingale is catching on. You always wonder. It takes a while to flesh out a character so you can really use her, so Ifm trying to make the introduction as interesting and fun as I can. Abyss has several males, attached and unattached, that need some female interaction to shake things up. And I want to bring Gerard and Yves back too. We learned a lot about Claire from Stephaniefs recollections and Ridgefs phone call to Tom, and it is setting the stage for dynamics and action to come. We also learned a few things about old dynamics like Thorne and Caroline.
Stephanie knows how to keep her minions in line, doesnft she? LOL She fed Taylorfs insecurities with Caroline, and withheld gushing approval. And it triggered Taylorfs upsetting little trip down memory lane. Will Taylor be pushed too far this time or will she just dig in harder? And Steph and Taylor are such a trip, they tell Ridge out of one side of their mouths hefs Godfs gift to womankind then take him to task every time he tries to make a decision or move on his own. They are out to change him on a fundamental level. What a mixed message theyfre sending to him. Youfre so special, and I love you to pieces, but there is not much I like about you. It looks like there setting him up for one hell of a midlife crisis. I donft think Taylor is ready to let go, shefs got too much time and effort invested in her halo. . .er, in being Mrs. Ridge Forrester. And shefs already shown what shefs willing to put up with for the honor. Itfs really going to take something to change that.
Whip has a lot on his plate. Brooke, the baby, Deacon, Forrester Creations, and Bridget. But his family is keeping him sane with their support. Brooke has it on good authority hefs up to the challenge, LOL. All those years of watching from the sidelines is helping him now too. He doesnft want to come down heavy handed on Bridget, but he wants to open her eyes, get her thinking and stop her bad behavior towards her mother. Bridget needs a good wakeup call to appreciate all the advantages she has and drop the poor, little damaged me song and dance. Itfs past time she counts her blessings instead of embracing all the old wrongs, real and imagined. Will she though, anymore than Steph and Taylor have? That kind of attitude takes the pressure off them for their own shortcomings.
Tom put himself in a precarious position by drinking in an unsafe situation. Bad, but he didnft compound the problem. He owned up to his mistake and acted like a man. A man who loved his wife, willing to protect her above his own selfish interests. Which turned out to be a very good move considering what came later. It was hard, he really hurt Claire, but theyfd enjoyed a good, solid marriage and were not about to give up without a fight. Claire gave it the good fight, but Tom was so wrapped up in his dramas, although he did what he could like the restraining order, he didnft have much left to emotionally support her at the end of the day. He counted on her strength and leaned heavily on her, draining her, until she took a nose dive. She needed the insanity to stop and did the only thing she could think of to do it. Life isnft always fair as much as wefd like it to be. And she's the one who paid the price. It is a sad situation. Can it be fixed or is it too late? In all fairness to Ridge and Taylor during the Morgan fiasco, wasnft part of Morganfs dysfunction that she hadnft been able to have sex with a man since the abortion. So no potential for contracting a STD or worse. Of course youfd have to buy her story, and Ifd think Ridge and Taylor would have reason to question everything she claimed after the way things went down. But both have shown a remarkable weakness for facing up to reality, facing up to anything difficult really. Their modis operendi is to shove things under the rug rather than deal with it.
Ifll really try not to keep you waiting so long next time! Thanks for commenting.

I'm so glad that I could help in getting you started again. So I say each chapter was my favorite? What's wrong with that, LOL? I guess you're right, you keep getting better. I can't wait for Brooke to give birth. I want to see what a great father Whip will be. I love how strong and supportive he and his family are. I also can't wait for the revelation of Whip and Ridge being half brothers.

We're getting close to the birth, only a chapter or two more. We'll get a brief glimpse of Whip the father in the next chapter, although we've already seen a hint or two in his interaction with his two stepchildren. I brought in his family to show where he came from, what formed him, and where he gets his strength. They are going to add a little comic relief from time to time as well as some drama. Yes, the big reveal Whip is Ridge's younger brother will shake thing up, and then there is Ridge's paternity to come out too. You can bet my Ridge won't take it all so coolly as the one we saw on the screen. It will cause a major stir for quite a few. And it will raise old and new issues for Whip as well.
