Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) has been having a
difficult start to the new year; she relapsed after drinking champagne that she
thought was non-alcoholic thanks to Sheila Carter. Brooke then took shots of vodka with Deacon
and later wound up kissing him and spending the night together. Lang has perfectly displayed Brooke’s roller-coaster of emotions: confusion, frustration, anger, desperation, fear,
etc. Brooke was confused when she woke
up next to Deacon and frustrated that she can’t recall what led her to drink. She’s determined to remember, but is stumped
as her sobriety was going so well. Lang
also brilliantly showcased Brooke’s fear and shame in admitting to Ridge that
she relapsed; not giving Ridge eye contact and burying her face in her
hands. Her acting choices were top notch
in displaying an alcoholic trying to come to terms with their relapse and fear
that her loved ones will be as disappointed in her as she is in herself. The frustrating part for Brooke was that it
was unintentional and how this could possibly destroy her marriage due to
Deacon’s role in what went down that night.
Brooke tried so hard to not reveal that Deacon was with her that night,
but Douglas ruins that by telling Hope, Liam, Steffy, Thomas, and Ridge that he
saw “grandma kissing Santa Clause”.
Brooke admits to Hope that it was Deacon. Lang displayed Brooke’s fear in her wide-eyed
expression and higher pitched tone of voice as Brooke panics that Douglas will accidentally
reveal too much. Brooke has a moment
with Douglas where she tries to convince him to move on from what he saw as the
holidays are over; fans can hear the desperation that Brooke is feeling through
Lang’s powerful performance. Lang also
got to showcase Brooke’s courage when Brooke attended an AA meeting and spoke
about her struggles that happened on New Year’s Eve. Fans can’t wait to see what happens next for
Brooke as she continues to try to keep herself and her marriage together while
fending off Deacon’s professions of love.
Fans are also looking forward to Brooke finding out the truth as they know
a Brooke and Sheila showdown will be epic!
Lang always delivers and fans are along for the ride!
