An interview with the Angel - Brooke Logan Forrester
-So, Brooke, you are now the Angel of
B&B. How does it feel?
-Well, I'm quite surprised in fact. This
is not what I expected. It is indeed a well-known fact that I'm
no angel. A great number of people have felt like they needed
to let me know that. So I am quite honored. This is a great recognition.
I was also rather taken aback by the fact that my old rival Taylor
was chosen to be the devil. I was quite certain that it would
be the other way around. Taylor is, however not anymore angelic
than I am, often regarded as what one would call a "good"
person. I am not.
-What do angels normally represent to you?
-Well, again it is a well-known fact that
none of us here in this soap is very religious. I am not either
so angels don't have any great religious signifigance to me.
I'm glad they don't, because in that case I would probably feel
quite odd to be declared an angel. I'm not sure if I believe
in angels in that common way, you know with guardian angels and
all. But I know about angels, and what some people believe about
them, the concept is quite clear.To me, angels do represent beauty
and fairness, an angel is normally regarded as perfect and generous
and caring. I'm not sure if I can see these qualities in myself,
even if I am declared an angel. Beautiful I am of course, and
great. I'm also very intelligent.
-Ok. So, you said yourself that you are
no angel. I believe it's also common knowledge that you have
not let anything get on your way when you have wanted something.
In fact, you have sometimes used quite "interesting"
means to reach your goals.
What would you say about these deeds in
regard to your current angel status?
-I know that I haven't always been such
a fair person. Angels don't do bad things. I believe angels can
also make mistakes though. That makes the whole thing easier
to accept. I have made a lot of "mistakes" but I have
always had to pay for them too, unlike some other people. So,
with this great honour of being declared an angel, I feel like
I have been forgiven.
-So, how does it feel to be an angel?
-Hey, you asked that already!
-Sorry. Hold on. (*rustle of papers*) Okay.
Hmm, I guess this is it. Ms. Angel, I thank you for this interview.
-You are welcome.

An interview with the Devil - Taylor Forrester
-Taylor, you have just been declared
the Devil of B&B. How do you feel?
-Well, I am quite astonished and disappointed.
I mean, I thought people had more faith in me. After all, I am
usually regarded as a saint rather than a devil. I can do no
wrong. I can't believe they chose Brooke to be the angel! I mean,
for God's sake, she is the devil herself! Everyone here knows
that. I'm sure Stephanie would agree with me, no matter how much
she's trying to be friends with her.
-So you are saying that you haven't made
any mistakes?
-Well, of course everyone makes mistakes.
I may have done some, but it shouldn't be enough to make me a
bad person. Don't you agree?
-Maybe, but Mrs. Forrester, the world is
a cruel place...
-I can see now that it is. But it doesn't
matter, I am a psychiatrist and I can get through this disappointment.
I won't let it affect my self esteem and bring me down.
-That is good. So, what does the devil
normally represent to you?
-Wel, basically I would say that devils
are evil creatures with evil features. They do bad things, are
not so beautiful and make peoples' lives miserable. That's not
how I am, so I highly disapprove of my newly voted status.
-I understand.
-In fact, the Forrester family has largely
had the tradition of looking at people like Brooke and Morgan
as incarnations of devil. They are good examples. But not me.
-Ms. Devil, I would see that no man can
be regarded as an angel nor a devil in a quite so literary sense.
-So why were you having this voting, then?
Huh?
-Well, it was all highly symbolic, of course.
We just wanted to see what would happen.
-But still, don't you think this is kind
of cruel? Imagine if a person with a weak self esteem and an
unstable mind were in the position of devil! What would happen
then? Yes! They would have a nervous breakdown and after they
had recovered, they would sue and you would have to pay for it.
Be glad I am the devil and not someone else!
-Yes, I am in fact glad. Don't you think
you should be too? I mean, you just might have saved someone's
mental health! Shouldn't you as a psychiatrist be happy to have
done that?
-Yes, in fact I am. Thanks for bringing
that to my attention.
After all, I am not a devil but a person
who saved another person.
-Exactly. Ms. Devil, I thank you for this
interview.
-You are welcome.
