What was portrayer Darin Brooks’ reaction to the scenes? “I said, ‘Come on, guys, you couldn’t have gotten a bigger leaf?'” he laughs.</p> <p>While most<em>Bold & Beautiful</em>kids devote a lot of time to reuniting their estranged parents, Brooks says that a Bill/Quinn pairing is just about the last thing Wyatt wants! “That would start World War III! It would literally tear the ether apart!”</p> <p>“In the early days, it really felt as if Wyatt was the parent and Quinn was the child,” reflects Brooks. “Rena Sofer and I had a lot of fun with that dynamic, which never really changed. Even when she started to become more stable, he was still the voice of reason!”</p> <p>“We absolutely love working together,” Brooks says of his on-screen fam, Don Diamont (Bill) and Scott Clifton (Liam). “We’ve found a nice rhythm. Don’s got, what, 14 kids, all boys, so what’s two more? He’s kind of embraced Scott and I as two of his own.” (For the record, Diamont has six boys!)</p> <p>“For a long time, Wyatt thought of Eric as a father figure,” muses Brooks. “Even before Quinn and Eric got together, he was always good to Wyatt when he was working at Forrester Creations. Wyatt probably thinks that marrying Eric was the best decision his mom ever made!”</p> <p>“Shooting in Paris was one of the most amazing experiences of my life,” Brooks reflects. “That was my first time getting to do one of the international trips.” But Wyatt wasn’t the only one with romance on his mind. Even as Wyatt was wooing Hope (then Kim Matula)…</p> <p>… Brooks was planning to pop the question to Kelly Kruger, who plays Forrester publicist Eva! Not only did she accept, but the two have been married for seven years and share two beautiful daughters.</p> <p>Brooks admits that Wyatt probably should have known better than to rush off and marry Hope. “Pretty much everyone knew that wasn’t going to work out,” he laughs. “But we got to shoot on that amazing yacht!” The one thing which didn’t go the way the actor hoped?</p> <p>“I really wanted to jump off the yacht,” sighs Brooks. Fans will recall that after becoming man and wife, Wyatt and Hope “celebrated” by jumping off the bow of his dad’s mega-yacht, the <em>Stella Maris</em>. Executive produer/headwriter Brad Bell, however, put the kibosh on that notion, insisting stunt people be the ones to leap into the ocean. “But how cool would that have been?”</p> <p>Would Brooks’ missus consider returning on a more permanent basis? “I’m sure she’d love it,” he says. Perhaps Eva could even pursue Liam, with whom she shared one kiss. “That was hysterical. I was yelling, ‘Kiss her! Kiss her!’ and Scott kept telling me to stop, because I was making it weird!”</p> <p>“I think Wyatt jumped into the relationship and marriage with Steffy not fulling understanding how deep her connection to Liam really was,” suggests Brooks. “But he helped her, too. Remember, it was Wyatt who encouraged her to get back on the motorcycle and to live her life fully.”</p> <p>If there’s one thing Wyatt probably really regrets where his short-lived marriage to Steffy is concerned, it’s probably their wedding-ring tattoos. “Worst idea ever,” laughs Brooks. “And it was the worst idea for the makeup department, too, because they were constantly having to paint it back on.” In other words, everyone was relieved when the couple not only parted ways but had their tattoos removed!</p> <p>While Wyatt’s flirtation with Nicole was brief and designed mainly to dig up dirt on her sister, Maya, Brooks learned a few things working with Reign Edwards. “She’s very fun and very cool,” he says. “She always knew the cool lingo and what the kids were saying, and I’d be like, ‘I don’t have a clue what you’re saying right now!'”</p> <p>“The relationship between Ivy and Wyatt was interesting, because they both felt like they’d been second fiddle where Liam and Steffy were concerned,” recalls Brooks. “I wish we had gotten to do more with that.”</p> <p>“When you’re working with Heather Tom, you’re working with the best of the best,” raves Brooks of Katie’s portrayer. “Their relationship was so much fun! It was like seeing Katie wake up again and rediscover who she was and could be again. That’s Wyatt’s gift — being able to bring out the best in people.”</p> <p>And then there was the time Quinn got involved with a memory-addled Liam. “Every now and then, Scott will say, ‘Hey, remember that time I slept with your mom?’ and I’m like, ‘Stop saying that! I’m trying to forget!’ Of course, we’ve never really played that on screen, but how funny would that scene be?”</p> <p>“Sally and Wyatt just seemed like a good fit,” admits Brooks of the character who has since moved to sister soap <em>Young & Restless</em>. “And I loved working with Courtney Hope. I like to ad-lib a lot, and she would tap-dance right along with me. I think Sally might be the closest he’s ever come to the love he felt for Hope.”</p> <p>“Sometimes, a character has to be thrown under a bus in order for another charcter to move forward,” says Brooks. “I don’t know that Katrina [Bowden] or Flo ever really had a chance. Not only did Flo and Wyatt’s initial relationship start years ago off screen, but then we find out she played a role in the kidnapping of Liam and Hope’s daughter. That’s a tough road to come back from!”</p>

“Man… Last day of filming with all these incredibly talented, legendary, crazy ass kids!” Brooks stated. “We seriously laughed our friggin asses off, all day every day, and I couldn’t think of a better group of people to work with!

The pic teased Brooks’ role as Rickey Rhodes and featured part of the cast including One Tree Hill’s Antwon Tanner (Skills), All My Children and Guiding Light alum John Fiore (Hendricks; Salerno), American Pie’s Eddie Kaye Thomas (Finch) and more…

The Roaring Game, as described by our sister site Deadline, surrounds Brooks’ character Rickey, a high school custodian, who can’t face the fact that his girlfriend will be leaving him to play hockey for Team USA. Wanting to win her back, he assembles a misfit curling team and heads off to the World Games to compete for the gold. Filming went on for three weeks in Rhode Island and the project also stars Mickey Rourke and William Forsythe and viewers will get to see a special guest star… former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers Rob Gronkowski.
