B&B’s Katherine Kelly Lang Reflects on 32 Years Of B&B — And 8 Days In TheJungle She’ll Never Forget.

Something Wild

It feels like the last years just flew by,” marvels Katherine Kelly Lang, having just marked 32 years as B&B’s beleaguered heroine, Brooke Logan Forrester. “The show really makes me happy. Even though I go out and do other things and travel around the world, I love coming home to B&B because that really is my home. It’s a part of me, and I feel like it always will be.”

Like many of the fans, Lang loves when the show taps into the past to tell story. “I love seeing the history come back in now,” she smiles. “Most of the fans I talk to say they’ve been watching from the first day, so they know all the history. When I did the Digest podcast with John McCook [Eric], we were reminiscing and that got me wanting to watch the first episodes of the show, so Dom [Zoida, her longtime beau] and I watched the first three episodes that night. It started bringing back all the memories of what happened and the relationship of the families and who was who. I didn’t realize that Ridge was such a jerk in the beginning. He was such a womanizer!”

Despite their super couple status, Lang insists that she didn’t know at the time that Ridge would be Brooke’s destiny. “I didn’t know anything!” she muses. “It’s similar to today. We don’t know anything until we get the script, which is about a week in advance [of taping]. We didn’t know where our characters were going and what was in store for us. I had no idea in the beginning that I was going to end up with Ridge. That was in the back of [Co-Creator] Bill Bell’s mind. I don’t like to look too far ahead. I’m a person who likes to go day by day; it works for me.”
