Katherine Kelly Lang has been enchanting and enraging viewers of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL all over the world for over 23 years in her electric performances as Brooke Logan Forrester. She recently took time to talk with WE LOVE SOAPS TV about her career, her reflections, and the symbolism of Brooke's resilience. Please join us for this very special and exclusive interview:

For over two decades, Katherine Kelly Lang has enthralled viewers as tortured heroine, Brooke Logan on daytime's campiest soap, The Bold and the Beautiful.

Long considered one of soaps’ most underrated actresses, Lang has lent her impossibly beautiful looks and incredible talent to a character who just happens to be one of the most complex and controversial figures in soap opera history. In fact, many could argue that Brooke is daytime TV’s most relevant female character because of the multitude of feminist issues involved.

While many viewers bash Brooke for her romantic indecisiveness (Ridge? Nick? Ridge? Nick?), Lang has impressively and miraculously maintained the character’s integrity by focusing on her vulnerability, flaws, humanity, and unconditional heart.

Tragically, Lang's portrayal of the multifaceted heroine has gone unnoticed by Emmy voters for the past two decades. This June, many are expecting the Academy to redeem themselves by honouring Lang’s tour-de-force performance for Brooke’s violent rape last year. If there’s any justice, that is. — Mark Jaksic (theenvelope.com’s MARKPGH)
