"The Bold and the Beautiful" is packed with absurd plotlines that, when taken out of context, are just as amusing as they are when watched over the nearly 10,000 episodes. But to save you 200,000 hours of your life, we've compiled a list of five (yes, just a drop in the ocean) of the most bizarre stories from this American soap.
Brooke Survived a Fall from the Eiffel Tower
This "miracle" occurred when Brooke Logan tried to free herself from the grasp of an obsessive admirer sent by her biological father. During the struggle, she fell over the railing, leaving viewers holding their breath until the next episode. It turned out that Brooke emerged from the situation almost unscathed because she fell... onto a platform just below.
Macy, Who Came Back to Life, Only to Have a Chandelier Fall on Her
In one episode of "The Bold and the Beautiful", Macy dies in a car accident, and her storyline is officially closed. Her resurrection was nearly a miracle, as a tanker truck exploded right next to her car during the accident. But even such an obvious death didn't stop the writers from bringing her back. Macy reappeared alongside her lover but not for long. Just a year later, while performing in a nightclub, a huge chandelier fell on her head.
Taylor’s Double Resurrection
Taylor Forrester’s heart stopped for the first time during childbirth. She survived clinical death and later made a full recovery. Three years later, viewers held their breath when Taylor was shot by Sheila Carter. Taylor was officially buried, and later returned to the show as a ghost. Years later, Ridge learned from Prince Omar that Taylor had actually survived the shooting.
On the Verge of Incest
The list of men Brooke Logan has been involved with could go on forever, and we’d probably still forget a few. She frequently got entangled with characters who were related or connected to women in her family. Brooke not only slept with her daughter Bridget’s husband, but she also had a child from that affair. She also married the same man eight times (we're talking about Ridge's son).
Fell into a Burning Furnace and Survived
The master of "miraculous" resurrections is none other than Ridge himself, who found himself in life-threatening situations twice but still came out alive. In one episode, he fell into a burning furnace, and in another, he fell from a helicopter into the middle of the ocean. He walked away from both incidents practically unharmed.
