the 100 most memorable moments in soap history
"How can a whore like you be expected to raise children that would be normal and healthy and happy and stable, when all you do is run around in your underwear seducing every man you can get your hands on?"One of soaps' most well-known rivalries has been between B&B's maven Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). Stephanie and Brooke had been going at it for a long time, but in the summer of 1999, Stephanie had enough. Brooke was planning to meet Stephanie’s son Thorne at the Forrester cabin in Big Bear, but Stephanie overheard and followed Brooke. Determined to stop Brooke from hurting her family again, an enraged Stephanie took the fireplace poker and smashed the champagne bottle and glasses Brooke had set out for Thorne. Brooke tried to leave, but Stephanie stopped her, declaring that it would all end that night. Stephanie was going to make sure Brooke did not get her claws into Thorne, and started to strangle Brooke. Brooke grabbed a vase and smashed it on Stephanie's back. After years of tension had been built up between these two popular characters, this exciting moment was just the catfight for which viewers had been waiting!
