BB:Brooke's Scarlett O'Hara moment

As a birthday treat to me (oh yeah and Happy B-day to Michelle Stafford, too) Bold and the Beautiful rocked. As Eric, Ridge and Brooke realized that Stephanie was the one who "served Brooke up on a silver platter".

The only thing that would have made it dynamo would be Stephanie's presence in the scene. Alas, Susan Flannery is down with illness and is taking a much deserved break.

That small thing aside, KKL's Brooke was wonderful once she got to the Forrester Mansion. She screamed, she hollered, she broke things! Once the intense rage was out of her system, she resolved to become the strong women she was before. That instead of bringing her down, she would be even better than before. That she would be a rape survivor.

Listen up other shows--this is how you tell a rape story. Not two months later the victim is in love with her attacker.
