Brooke telling Hope that Steffy has a "way of being vulnerable" was total hypocrisy

[Jasamfan]

Brooke tells Hope that Steffy in particular has a way of being vulnerable. Really, Brooke? Your whole history is full of "mistakes" because you were vulnerable. You were just vulnerable on NY Eve. Might want to check that hypocrisy!

Steffy just lost her husband in the most tragic and traumatizing way possible and she's leaning on her friend and the father of one of her children.
When you were "vulnerable" you slept with your son in law, with Nick, etc. Big difference.

Steffy has made some stupid decisions, but for Brooke to say something like that? Total hypocrisy. And again, what about Liam? Why is it always about Steffy/Hope without Liam being held responsible?

[Chicklet]

Brooke is right though. Steffy just lost her husband and instead of having her family supporting her she turns to her married ex-husband who she has a history of cheating with! Li and Brooke are the only ones who see the situation clearly.

[Sopranojenn]

No, Brooke didn't even wait 24 hours before she thought Sheila killed Ridge in the foundry before she just had to sleep with Nick..

That woman basically had sex with her dead husband's brother in his ashes!!! In the spot she thought he died.

(Which is why RJ needed a paternity test.)

I am not trying to be crude but that is what happened onscreen.

[PassingThrough]

I have to admit that Brooke is right. Steffy has her family to help her. Liam needs to be home with his wife, especially given Steffy and Liam's history. Steffy and Liam are playing with fire.

[Jo-Jo]

Liam is the one who keeps running to Steffy. She isn't calling and asking him to come over and comfort her. I'm sorry, but I don't see how Brooke is "right" on this. Steffy IS vulnerable. She can't help that. But Liam is the one who keeps going to her. That is not her issue...that's Liam's and Brooke needs to have that conversation with him.

[ekek]

Brooke doesn't see anything clearly. She casts all other women in her role, steal the man. This is hateful behavior. She's trying to take the children again and give them to Hope. Yeah, that's what Steffy needs. NOT. The heartless shrew!

I am actually proud of Hope standing up to her mother and putting some faith in her husband who is worried about the whole family. Not just focused on Hope's little cabin.

[Sopranojenn]

What an unbelievable, hateful witch. Even I am surprised she would say something so sickening.

Brooke has made a PROFESSION out of being sooo conveniently vulnerable any time a man is around!

That is ALWAYS her excuse for turning to whatever man she wants at the time. She was vulnerable to Deacon supposedly (Thorne dumped her because he overheard his wife Brooke say RIDGE was her true love) when she got knocked up by her daughter's husband. Then vulnerable for 8 more months of sleeping with him.

She was also "vulnerable" on NYE remember??

"I make bad choices when you're not around" was her EXCUSE to Ridge!! He was gone like 12 hours!!

Poor Brooke, she had to spend a whole 2 hours at NYE (after a big party with her kids and grandkids and Hope's daddy) all by herself at age 60.

Steffy's husband is DEAD. How dare she make light of that!

Brooke has always been hateful but she she acts a little ditzy while doing so she doesn’t get called in it as much as she should. Brooke and Donna are practically twins using feminine wiles and down playing their smarts but both are snakes .
Maybe she knows men can’t be trusted because she’s moved in on so many of them when they were not free and single? I doubt Liam is doing anything he doesn’t want to.

[Tahemet]

Steffy and Liam always have been friends.
Lovers or not...but there has always been a strong friendship between.
Nothing wrong with having a friend around to comfort you...no matter how many other people you have around you to support you.
People who lost someone they loved know that it is easier to talk to some people than to other people.
Family isn't automatically the best support.

[BrendaBlanks]

Brooke is not right. Brooke relies on her ex husband Eric for advice and leans on him a lot. Who is Brookes best friend? I don't see her having a lot of women friends. Wonder why because women would be crazy to trust Brooke around their husbands. She might just follow her heart.

Liam leans of Steffy and vice versa. Steffy loves Finn and Liam loves Hope. I feel they've finally matured. Too bad Brooke hasn't.

[veryoldatwtfan]

Good point. Brooke always leans on Eric.

Very good point! Brooke was just cuddling with
ex-husband Eric because she was "vulnerable " since her current husband was upset because she got "vulnerable" and made out with her ex-...son-in-law? Not sure how to classify Deacon... lol

[Katbert]

Wait til Brooke finds out Liam offered to be Hayes' father figure!

Somehow it will all be Steffy's fault.

[tftaylor]

She should have said no, thank you when he suggested that!

[maryg]

Bet she would not have said that in front of Ridge. No, in front of Ridge, she plays Ms. Empathy. Such a hateful and deceitful person.

[Creata]

Wow there is a lot of Brooke hate! But she is definitely right on this one, hypocritical or not. Hope is an idiot for condoning this.

I agree. Brooke is right. She isn't saying that Steffy is being manipulative, she is saying that Steffy's vulnerability will pull Liam in. That is exactly what is happening. Brooke is telling it like it is. Why she is a witch and all that other name calling I have no idea. Brooke is always made into the villain by some here. She was when she didn't want Steffy to go on thinking Liam was Steffy's husband. If we reversed this and made Hope the one that lost her husband and Liam was married to Steffy neither Steffy or Taylor would be understanding about Liam spending his time holding and comforting Hope, and we would have Ridge blustering on about how Liam needs to respect his wife. Also those posting about how terrible Brooke is for just stating the truth would be defending Taylor for saying the same things that Brooke is. Taylor would never condone Liam doing what he is doing for Hope if Steffy was his wife.

[tftaylor]

Thank you for saying this! This is very true!@creata

[mudlokate]

Exactly. Clearly according to some any opinion Brooke has is not based on the now but on ago. The ago in which a clearly vulnerable Steffy inserted herself into Liam's life. Where the rescue ranger first appeared, where Steffy encouraged it.

[Boldfan4ever]

Bet she would not have said that in front of Ridge. No, in front of Ridge, she plays Ms. Empathy. Such a hateful and deceitful person.

yes thats what annoys me most about her.

Brooke isn't made to be a villain, she is one. Her actions make her a villain. She pretends to be fake to Ridge's kids when he is around but look at her actions when she is with Hope or Ridge is not around. Finn is "Dead" but Brooke couldn't be damn to show an ounce of sympathy for Ridge's daughter but poor Hope! Liam is gone for a few hours = Steffy is evil. She also spent time berating Steffy when Liam cheated on her daughter. No one knows who would defend Taylor because it's not Taylor who is trashing her step-daughter daily. She has shown 2 different sides of her personality in 2 episodes. Fake with Tridge and her true colors come out with Hope. She's also a villain because she has no loyalty to anyone not even her own daughters and sisters. Liam made a choice to visit Steffy, but Brooke blames Steffy.

[mudlokate]

I don't agree Brooke is a villan in the sudsy soap sense, she was the sexcapade go to as a foil to Taylor's uptight persona, it continues today when at 60+ that role should have been passed on.

Thank you!

I call Brooke a witch even though I shouldn't probably. But it is for he reasons stated above. If she just OWNED the way she is I would "love to hate" her like I did in the beginning. She was a great villain until they started making her the victim.

But she is a villian who is worshipped by all men (even when they are "mad" at her) and presents herself as a VICTIM that NEVER does anything wrong and never pays.

What she said to Taylor in the hospital was just sick. She has every right to stick.up for her daughter but when Taylor's child is near death and Brooke is so ridiculously CALLOUS while PRETENDING to Ridge that she is just soooo concerned about Steffy....

That is why i cannot stand her. She doesn't have to like Steffy. But we have seen her hiss and berate Steffy over Liam (while somehow NEVER blaming Liam ever??) constantly, say horrible things to her while Ridge just happens to never overhear.

It is frustrating to see so many characters praise and coddle her. To be honest, that is why I get more heated on the board than I should, my apologies.

Just the very biased Logans can do no wrong (always the victims, always an excuse) even to the people they stab directly in the back that has gone on for so long gets very frustrating to some viewers IMO.

What Brooke said is, "Steffy and Taylor, they have a way of invoking sympathy. I mean, you saw the way that they got Ridge to move on to the property, even though it was only temporary."

That indicates that she thinks Steffy is being manipulative in getting Liam to be sympathetic and then blamed them for Ridge's moving out. She ignores the fact that Ridge chose to remove his wedding ring, said that he just couldn't do it any more and went to Steffy's home because she was defending Deacon, not because of anything Taylor or Steffy did.

Brooke is made into the villain because she does villainous things. Bringing up Hope's pain over Steffy believing that Liam was her husband while Steffy was still in critical condition was inexcusable. There was all this talk about how long it would be expected to go on when it lasted only 24 hours after Steffy regained consciousness.

Taylor hasn't made any demands of Liam other than to wait until Steffy was cleared medically before breaking the news about Finn to her. He's running over to Steffy's of his own volition. Taylor also hasn't put any pressure on Ridge to dump Brooke to be with her because she wants Ridge to choose his future. Brooke, on the other hand, continues to pressure him, and, now that he's moved to Eric's, she'll likely up the pressure.
