12. Brooke Sleeps With Deacon
Brooke fans were fuming when, in 1998, writers had Brooke betray her own daughter Bridget by sleeping with Bridget’s husband Deacon. Brooke’s marriage to Thorne had just fallen apart and she was depressed, alone and drunk. Deacon popped over for a visit and the next thing viewers knew, they were drinking together and then sleeping together. Although it was a controversial moment, Brooke found out she was pregnant shortly afterwards and the union produced their daughter Hope.
