Ashley Jones: It’s Too Late to Apologize
In the summer of 2005, the Forrester and Marone clans had gathered at Stephanie and Eric’s mansion to celebrate the wedding of Nick (Jack Wagner) and Bridget. Alas, the ceremony was called off as there was a deep, dark secret looming. Stephanie (Susan Flannery) had lied about having had a heart attack. The so-called medical crisis had prompted Ridge (then, Ronn Moss) to split from Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and return to his back-from-the-dead wife Taylor (then, Hunter Tylo).
Brooke and Jackie (Lesley-Anne Down) uncovered the truth and forced Stephanie to confess all of it in front of her family. She did, begrudgingly, but first, Steph, of course, had to speak her truth. She marveled at how everyone in her family kept giving Brooke pass after pass. She cited Bridget’s forgiveness as the “most astonishing” of everyone’s, as Brooke had slept with Bridget’s then-husband, Deacon (Sean Kanan), and given birth to their daughter, Hope (Annika Noelle).
