in the city of Los Angeles. In an ironic twist of fate, Beth was Eric's college girlfriend before he married Stephanie. Brooke's life soon became a key element in the series. Originally from a middle-class background, her love affair with Ridge set up much of the storyline beginning in the first year. Every so often, Ridge and Brooke reunite only to break up due to circumstances, and Ridge invariably finds comfort (in most cases, this would lead to marriage) with another love of his life Dr. Taylor Hayes. In addition, the rivalry between Ridge's mother Stephanie and Brooke has played a key role in the drama since its inception. Following one of her breakups with Ridge, Brooke married his father Eric, who divorced Stephanie to do so. Brooke gave birth to two of Eric's children. They eventually divorced and Eric reconciled with Stephanie. Likewise, Brooke and Ridge resumed their pattern of an on-again-off-again relationship, in-between Brooke's relationship s with other men and Forrester family members, and Ridge's multiple reunions with Taylor. Eric eventually married Donna Logan and legally adopted her son Marcus but they later divorced due to their family's bitter history. Felicia and Kristen have chosen to venture their own paths leaving the family company to be ran by Ridge, Thorne, Rick, Marcus,and their families.

Cast and crew
Controversy and criticisms
The show has enjoyed success by focusing on telling stories involving the core Forrester family, in particular sticking to a core group of characters: Stephanie, Eric, Brooke, Ridge, Taylor, Thorne, Macy and, in recent years, Logan's sister, Amber, Bridget, Bill Jr, Jackie and Nick. However, the show has been criticized at times for not having a well-developed "B" storyline and for, at times, overexposing the core characters. Unlike other US soaps currently on the air, it is not uncommon for The Bold and the Beautiful to devote entire shows or even a week's worth of shows to a single storyline.
Storylines
The show has also been criticized for the sometimes breakneck speed in which it changes story lines, in particular with changes in romantic pairings. Several leading soap critics, including Carolyn Hinsey, have lauded the show for knowing when a story isn't working, and changing or ending the story as a result (such as Bridget and Ridge's romance in 2003).
Recasting
Recasting is an ongoing fixture on the show. In the show's 23 year history, many characters have been played by two or more actors, often leading to a viewer backlash. One such instance was the 2004 recast of

Near-incestuous relationships
The relatively small cast has led to many romantic pairings and love triangles involving family members and in-laws. Additionally, many of the show's story lines have featured siblings or a parent/child in love with and/or competing for the affections of the same character.

. The affair between Deacon and Brooke lasted nearly a year. The affair between Eric and her began with Eric sleeping with an already barely conscious, tipsy Brooke, who called out Ridge's name in her sleep. Eric misinterpreted and slept with her while she was in this state. Ridge also slept with Brooke when she was drugged and unconscious while she was dating Nick. Brooke also accidentally slept with her daughter Hope's first boyfriend Oliver Jones while they were wearing masks at a masquerade party, thinking it was Ridge. After that

fell in love with his father's wife, and Brooke and Thomas kissed a few times. Thomas lied that she and Brooke had made love on a deserted island after their plane went down. Brooke was also engaged to James Warwick in 1994. Most of Brooke's relationships have been Forrester/Marone (both Marones and Forresters are intermingled since Ridge is really a Marone) men.
The misunderstanding comes from the fact that Brooke has married the same men in the one family more than one time. Ridge she's married approximately 4–5 times, Eric 3 times, Grant one time, Nick one time, and Thorne one time. So in other words Brooke has married her same ex's who she's had a prior relationship with over and over again. These are the several marriages and sexual relationships the viewers are primarily referring to.
