Brooke, the wild teenager.
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow. Brooke English arrived on her Aunt Phoebe Tyler's doorstep in 1976 as an unlucky-in-love and rebellious young woman. Brooke moved into the Tyler mansion and began seeing handsome Dan Kennicott, as well as her old boyfriend, ruffian Benny Sago. A wild teenager, Brooke was almost shipped home by Phoebe when Benny blackmailed Phoebe into letting Brooke stay in Pine Valley.
Brooke and Erica's exes. Brooke's interest soon strayed from these two to handsome Tom Cudahy. Unfortunately, Erica Kane was interested in Tom as well and the two's longstanding rivalry was born. Erica was the victor and managed to get Tom to marry her. Erica Kane, from a picture first seen in All My Childrens opening credits in January 1990. ...
Brooke took up with Dan again, becoming the "other woman" in his relationship with Devon Shepard. Phoebe, who was faking paralysis, caught Dan and Brooke in a compromising position. A disgusted Phoebe once again threatened to kick Brooke out, but Brooke discovered Phoebe's paralysis lie and blackmailed her into allowing Brooke to stay.
Dan eventually broke off with Devon and committed to Brooke. However, Brooke soon started sleeping with Erica's half-brother, Mark Dalton. Dan discovered the affair and left town, while Mark made it clear to Brooke that their relationship was only about sex. Depressed, Brooke began an affair with con artist Eddie Dorrance, who ended up raping her. After Eddie's death, Brooke learned she was carrying his baby and chose to terminate the pregnancy. Mark Dalton is an Australian former basketball players who represented the Sydney Kings in the National Basketball League. ...
Brooke once again took up with Tom, now separated from Erica. However, Erica soon returned from an unsuccessful attempt at an acting career and convinced Tom to give their marriage another try. When Erica's constant lies prompted Tom to divorce Erica, he got engaged to Brooke. The two wed soon after.
Motherhood, tragedy and more run-ins with La Kane Brooke began a job as a reporter, and made the discovery that her mother, Peg English, was actually the leader of an international drug cartel. Brooke's marriage encountered strains as Tom began to drink heavily. Soon, she discovered she was pregnant. Brooke left Tom after discovering that he and Erica had gotten drunk and slept together the night before Erica married Adam Chandler. Brooke and Tom divorced. Brooke and Mark grew close again as he helped her through her pregnancy and the birth of her daughter, Laura Cudahay. Adam Chandler is a fictional character from the soap opera All My Children played by David Canary from fall 1984 to present. ...
Now a TV anchorwoman, Brooke was sent to prison for not revealing a source in a municipal scandal she exposed. After getting out of prison, Brooke and Mark went to a party where a henchman of the corrupt judge tried to shoot them. Erica's then fiancé, Mike Roy, took the bullet instead. Brooke's busy schedule led to a break-up with Mark. She briefly dated stuntman Giles St. Clair, but his wild lifestyle interfered with Brooke's role as a mother. Brooke also learned that her biological mother was a homeless woman named Jane Dobrin. Brooke tracked Jane down and the two built a relationship.
Brooke met wealthy Adam Chandler (one of Erica Kane's ex's, and the two fell in love. Brooke married Adam soon after. Their happiness was marred when Brooke's daughter Laura was hit and killed by a drunk driver. Brooke still mourns her daughter to this day.

Adam's promises of love and honour soon came to naught however when Brooke found out he was having an affair with young Dixie Cooney, in an attempt to sire an heir when he found out that Brooke would apparently not be able to bear any more children. Dixie did become pregnant and give birth Adam's only son, Adam "J.R." Chandler Jr. but the affair cost him his marriage. After the divorce, Brooke began working with Tad Martin. They developed a friendship and after Tad (who had fallen in love with Dixie and married her after the latter's divorce from Adam) divorced Dixie, Brooke slept with him. After his apparent death off a bridge in 1990, Brooke discovered she was pregnant! Dixie Cooney was a resident of the fictional town of Pine Valley, Pennsylvania on the daytime soap opera All My Children from October 1988 to 1996 and again from July 3, 1998 to February 26, 2002. ...

She then attempted a relationship with Jack Montgomery, leading her to clash one-on-one with Erica Kane again. Brooke almost lost her unborn child when she and Jack were hit by drunk driver, Arlene Vaughan but her second child, James Edward "Jamie" Martin came into the world as a healthy baby. Eventually, Jack and Brooke parted ways as friends after Erica's scheming helped Brooke to see that he still cared deeply for Erica. After previously telling everyone that her pregnancy was a result of artificial insemination (to protect Dixie with whom Tad had reconciled with before his "death"), Brooke also went public with the fact that Jamie was Tad's son.
Three failed marriages and an ectopic pregnancy. Brooke then had a torrid affair with Edmund Grey. His hot and cold behaviour left her angry and his continuing obsession with discovering his parentage and birthright further strained ties between them. Things effectively ended when Tad returned to Pine Valley. Desperately wanting to be a good father to Jamie, Tad married Brooke.
Tad and Dixie's love could never be denied and the two started their own affair. He started lying to Brooke about his whereabouts and since Edmund was still deeply in love with Brooke, he told her about Tad's dalliances with his ex-wife in an attempt to break up Brooke's marriage. The latter remained resolute in her choice to stay married to Tad, however. Brooke then became pregnant again although this time, tragedy would strike again. The pregnancy was ectopic and termination was necessary to save her life. Realizing that Tad would never love her the way he so passionately was with Dixie, she ended their marriage.
Adopting Laura and standing trial for murder Laura Kirk, a homeless teen, came into Brooke's life when she publicly accused Brooke at the Woman of the Year ceremony of not doing enough to help the cause of the homeless. Brooke was deeply affected and promised Laura that she would work harder to help. In doing so, she also developed a bond with Laura. On the romantic front, Adam would woo Brooke back into his arms but still deeply scarred by their marriage, she guarded herself and stayed noticeably distant as she was convinced he would revert back to his old ways. When he and Liza Colby cooked up a scheme to lure Brooke and Tad back to them, Brooke realized that she wasn't invested enough in Adam to put up with everything he had to offer.

Brooke would then start seeing Pierce Riley in 1996 who lived in a campsite in the woods with Laura and ex-con Janet Green. Janet, in retaliation, would attempt to steal Brooke's identity when Pierce and Brooke started dating (Janet had feelings for Pierce) but her scheme didn't amount too much. Brooke would also take Laura in to her home and adopt her.
Pierce was a very troubled man who suffered disturbing flashbacks from his past involving gunshots and a woman from his past. When he painfully confessed that he may have shot the woman in his flashbacks, Brooke urged him to seek help and leant her support when he was undergoing therapy. Under hypnosis, he remembered that he and Christina (the woman) had a daughter in Central America named Amelia. He also remembered that a soldier had forced him to choose to either kill Christina or Amelia and that the soldier had shot Christina by pulling the trigger of the gun in Pierce's hands. Pierce suffered a breakdown after that and Brooke promised to look for Amelia. Shortly after, though, Christina showed up very much alive and the two left Pine Valley to look for Amelia.
Whilst returning from a business trip in New York City with Edmund, Maria Santos Grey (his wife) and their baby daughter, Maddie Grey, the plane malfunctioned, exploded and crashed. Though Brooke tried desperately to save Maria's life, the latter chose for Brooke to save Maddie instead. Maria's body was never found and she was presumed dead, much to Edmund's devastation. Searching fervently for the truth to the plane crash, Brooke met a man who helped her through the ordeal of the plane crash (he was also a survivor) and his name was Jim Thomasen.
Laura was shocked when she discovered her mother was seeing Jim. The two shared a secret past as Jim had taken lewd photographs of Laura as a teenager. The latter had posed for the pictures because she needed the money to help care for her sick mother, Terry Kirk. Laura discovered that the pictures were all over the Internet and she was kidnapped by Ricky, the man she had posed with in the pictures. Brooke would find the pictures thanks to a tip-off and receive a ransom note demanding that the police were not to be notified about Laura's disappearance. She obeyed and told Jim she would drop the money herself. Jim made himself look like a hero when he saved Laura from Ricky. Though she told Brooke that she knew Ricky, the former didn't tell her mother that Jim had been the photographer after declaring a truce with him to keep it a secret between themselves.
Brooke would make headway in her ongoing investigation into the plane crash of Flight 149 and found evidence that linked Jim to the plane explosion. She also found out about his past as a child pornographer and that he was responsible for Laura's photos. She confronted him and shot and killed him when Jim threatened to go after her son, Jamie.
Indicted with a murder charge and convinced that she wouldn't win the trial, Brooke went on the run with Jamie but with much prodding and convincing by her ex, Tad Martin, she came home to Pine Valley to stand trial. With much help and secret maneuvering by Tad, Brooke's lawyers managed to get an acquittal from the jury. Laura then left town to study in China and Brooke dated Dimitri Marick. It didn't amount to anything, however, as Erica put a stop to things with her jibes (Dimitri was another one of Erica's ex-lovers). Michael E. Knight in a promo for All My Children. ...
