As one of the original cast members, Katherine Kelly Lang is a vital part of The Bold and the Beautiful. Since 1987, the actress has been entertaining fans with her portrayal of the iconic Brooke Logan. It’s hard to imagine the show without Lang or her character, but is it something that might happen?
Key Takeaways
- Lang has been playing Brooke for 39 years.
- Lang reveals if she’s ever worried about Brooke being killed off.
- Brooke has had a few brushes with death.
Anything’s Possible
From day one, Lang and her character, Brooke, have been integral to B&B. For over three decades, fans have watched the girl from the valley create drama in the Logan and Forrester families.
Her feud with Stephanie (Susan Flannery) was epic soap drama, while her never-ending love story with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) mesmerized fans. While Ridge is her “destiny,” Brooke has had other suitors, including Eric (John McCook) and Bill (Don Diamont). Brooke’s need to follow her heart often leads to betrayal and heartache for others, most often her own family.
Whether she’s a vixen or a flawed heroine, Brooke makes for interesting TV. But what would happen if one day, the character were no more?
In an interview with Us Weekly, Lang discussed whether B&B would ever kill off her character. “I never, ever think they’re gonna kill me off,” the actress says.
While Lang is confident her character is here to stay, she knows on soap operas, anything is possible. “I just don’t think that would happen. But it could, you never know.”
Close Calls
Like many B&B characters, Brooke has had a few brushes with death. Some of her close calls include being shot by Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and a plane crash with Thomas (Matthew Atkinson). In 2001, she survived a fall from the Eiffel Tower during a trip to Paris.
One of Brooke’s most recent near-death experiences happened last year in Italy. Brooke was on a boat ride with Nick (Jack Wagner) when she fell into the water. Luckily, Ridge was nearby and jumped in to rescue her.
The scary incident gave Ridge the wake-up call to reunite with his Logan. Upon returning home, the couple married and resumed their normal lives running Forrester Creations. While everything is going peacefully for Brooke, one never knows when danger might be near.
