Bold & Beautiful’s Katherine Kelly Lang Steps Forward With an Update On Her Injury
Thursday, November 24th, 2022
It takes time to heal and patience to see it through…
Fans may recall that The Bold and the Beautiful’s Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) suffered an ankle injury back on Mother’s Day, which required surgery to set the broken bones. Since then she’s shared various updates on her healing process and recently delivered yet another good report.

“Just get outside and hike,” the CBS soap vet shared, along with a video during her recent adventure. “Feels so good to be in the sun and the nature. Happy to be doing my running shuffle.”
Lang posed for the camera with her right ankle up in the air, putting the weight on her left — the one she injured — and stated, “Ankle is coming back. Some exercise and vitamin D does a body [good].”

In the video, she can be seen starting out at a steady pace while walking along Deer Leg Trail, which is part of Malibu’s Lake Vista Trail in Los Angeles. She then slowly began to speed up and was running in no time.
Lang sure has come a long way since that dreadful fall, which required her to be taken to the hospital by ambulance and was documented in the original post below.
And we’re happy to see that she’s been able to stay active and is doing well to work her ankle back to the best it can be!
We hope that everyone has a wonderful holiday and to honor a few of our favorite daytime families, join us as we look back at some of soaps’ most memorable Thanksgivings in the photo gallery.

<p>Few families do the more elegant side of holidays better than the Baldwins, and this year was no exception. And hey, Gloria and Kevin are even home for it! </p>

<p>When you’ve got all the money in the world, nothing beats a warm slice of pizza on Thanksgiving. In fact, it was always such an (unintentional) hit, it took everything <em>General Hospital</em>‘s Edward (John Ingle) had to hold the voracious Quartermaine clan back! </p>

<p>Oh, how things change! Over on <em>Days of Our Lives </em>in 2022, Eric and Jada had something extra thankful for during the holiday as they shared the news that they’d be having a baby! That… didn’t end well. </p>

<p>Sharon knows how to celebrate the true spirit of Thanksgiving on <em>The Young and the Restless</em> by turning Crimson Lights into a haven to feed folks in need! Now if only everyone stopped just standing around staring at each other and started actually, you know, helping people.</p>

<p>Lemon bars may not be the first thing we think of when it comes to Thanksgiving, but that’s OK, because <em>The Bold and the Beautiful</em>‘s Pam goes all out in pretty much every other way possible for the holiday! Heck, she’s practically a walking cornucopia! </p>

<p>The Quartermaines tried something new for <em>General Hospital</em>‘s 2022 Thanksgiving and got… a live turkey? Whoops! Olivia didn’t realize the turkey she ordered would be so “fresh,” it would still be alive, but disaster still would have been averted if Leo hadn’t freed the bird, leading to…</p>

<p>We guess the turkey wasn’t too happy with having been shipped off to be some family’s dinner, because once free, he chased everyone out of the Quartermaine mansion and proceeded to trash the rest of the food. But hey, it’s not Thanksgiving on <em>General Hospital</em> without pizza!</p>

<p>The Abbotts were actually relatively happy and stable for <em>The Young and the Restless’ </em>2022 celebration. Allie happily joined her new family. Summer and Kyle hadn’t yet blown up and Tucker wasn’t making life miserable for everyone. Oh, happy days!</p>

<p>We will happily toast to <em>Days of Our Lives</em>‘ late, great Grandpa Shawn (Frank Parker) leading the family in their 2006 Thanksgiving festivities. What we won’t toast, though, is that tiny turkey. That’s supposed to feed the entire Brady clan how, exactly?</p>

<p>In 2019, <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>’s Liam (Scott Clifton) and Hope (Annika Noelle) knew just what they needed for their Thanksgiving photo with Beth: another kid! So they swiped Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri) from Thomas. Problem solved. </p>

<p>Ah, yes, 2012. The unfortunate year when <em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) took things a bit too far when she asked Adam (then Michael Muhney) if little Connor looked good enough to eat. With that said… Lord, he’s cute!</p>

<p>OK, this photo of <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>’s Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Kelly and Thomas is adorable, but you know what would make it perfect? Another kid! Too bad Liam and Hope had already pinched him.</p>

<p>Holidays with <em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Winters clan always warmed our hearts. From Neil (Kristoff St. John) and Dru (Victoria Rowell) making sure Devon (Bryton McClure) and Lily (Christel Khalil) never wanted for anything, to Lily’s boyfriend, Daniel (Michael Graziadei), who just wanted to get back to his porn…</p>

<p>It’s not the family you’re born with but the family you choose. Right, <em>General Hospital</em>‘s Mac (John J. York)? Like your adopted daughter, Maxie (Kirsten Storms), and the boyfriend you always hated, Spinelli (Bradford Anderson). Plus, Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn), whom you briefly dated, and Diane (Carolyn Hennesy), with whom you had a one-night stand. Hence the endless wine…</p>

<p>This <em>Guiding Light</em> Thanksgiving could have been awkward with Marina (Mandy Bruno) bringing her new beau along. But luckily Mallet (Robert Bogue) was already practically part of the Cooper family, since he was her father’s best friend and her Aunt Harley’s ex! </p>

<p>This looks like a lovely Abbott family Thanksgiving on <em>Young & Restless</em>… until you stop and ask yourself: Is that Jack’s girlfriend, Emily (Stacy Haiduk), or crazy Patty having kidnapped and replaced Emily? Pretty sure that’s what Billy (then Billy Miller) is asking himself. It was a wild year, 2009.</p>

<p>If there’s one thing we learned from this 2013 <em>Days of Our Lives</em> pic, it’s that Abe (James Reynolds) is absolutely <em>delighted </em>by pilgrims. Hope (Kristian Alfonso), on the other hand, had already moved on to something far more interesting. We wonder what it could be…</p>

<p>And there it is. Being dressed as some sort of Thanksgiving Mardi Gras pilgrim in 2013 was just the first of many, many tragedies that befell <em>Days of Our Lives</em>’ poor JJ (Casey Moss). But at least he pulled it off well.</p>

<p>Nothing gave <em>One Life to Live’</em>s Natalie (Melissa Archer) nearly as much joy as putting up the turkey decoration. That’s right — <em>the</em>. There was only one decoration for the whole house. </p>

<p>We imagine this Forrester Thanksgiving dinner went something like this<em>.</em> <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>‘s Stephanie (Susan Flannery): “And I’m thankful, as always, that the Slut from the Valley hasn’t gotten hit by a truck yet… Kidding!”</p>

<p>Was there a Thanksgiving radiation leak storyline we’re forgetting from <em>As the World Turns</em> in 2008? Tragically, after this photo was taken, that massive thing came to life and squashed them all… We’re here all day, folks. (No, really, please don’t make us go back to our families.)</p>

<p>Chaos may be one word for putting <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>’s Katie (Heather Tom) and Pam (Alley Mills) together in the kitchen for Thanksgiving, but we have another one we think works a bit better: pure delight! (OK, we had another two words.) </p>

<p>We don’t know why <em>Young & Restless</em>’ Gloria (Judith Chapman) looks so shocked. Michael (Christian Jules LeBlanc) needing a full bottle of wine to get through Thanksgiving with her and Jeff (Ted Shackelford) is pretty much a given.</p>

<p>Remember that disastrous year when the Quartermaines were nearly forced to eat a delicious feast that poor Alice (Bergen Williams) went through all the trouble to prepare? Tsk. We’re sure Michael (Chad Duell) does. Let’s hope that never happens again. </p>

<p><em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Victoria (Amelia Heinle) proved that baby Katie was just what was needed to get the conentious Newman family to put away the knives for Thanksgiving in 2014. Well, that and a few glasses of wine. </p>

<p><em>One Life to Live</em>’s Viki (Erika Slezak) opened her heart and her home to everyone on Thanksgiving — even a mostly reformed con artist like Rex (John-Paul Lavoisier), his girlfriend Gigi (Farah Fath) and their son, Shane (Austin Williams). Of course, it helped that <span style="text-decoration: line-through">Charlie (Brian Kerwin)</span> Clint (Jerry verDorn) was Rex’s father.</p>

<p>With Shawn gone, <em>Days of Our Lives</em>‘ Caroline (Peggy McCay) took over as the head of the Brady family, leading the gang in quiet reflection on Thanksgiving. That or she just told an off-color joke that landed flat. </p>

<p>In 2008, <em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Katherine (Jeanne Cooper) celebrated the holiday by giving back to the community. Well, she might have, if she’d known who she was. Instead, she thought she was a waitress named Marge in love with Murphy the Fisherman (Michael Fairman) and had to work on Thanksgiving. </p>

<p>If there’s one thing the Spectra gang was thankful for on <em>Bold & Beautiful</em>, it was Eric (John McCook) putting their differences aside and welcoming friend and foe alike into his home for the holidays. Well, that and getting one Thanksgiving in before being booted from Los Angeles. </p>

<p>One thing we were always grateful for on <em>As the World Turns</em> was the Snyder family Thanksgiving. Every year they gathered and… wait. Did Holden (Jon Hensley) and Lily (Martha Byrne) have more children when we weren’t looking, or are they just sitting at the kids table?</p>

<p>If Christmas gets Saint Nick, we see no reason why Thanksgiving can’t have <em>Young & Restless</em>‘ Pilgrim Nick (Joshua Morrow). He’s got the beard, the outfit and what looks like some funky moves. Plus, the kids love him! Or at least Faith (then Alyvia Alyn Lind) does.</p>

<p>The faces may change, and family members may enter or exit (or die), but <em>General Hospital</em>‘s Quartermaines always celebrate — hold on. Did Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) mix up the holidays again? The last thing we need introduced at that Thanksgiving family gathering is a baby with a bow and arrow.</p>

<p><em>Passions</em>’ Tabitha (Juliet Mills) may have been a wicked witch, but we’ll be damned if she didn’t know how to get into the Thanksgiving spirit. Wait, what’s that on her cheek? Um, you might want to back slowly away, Mr. Turkey.</p>

<p>… probably doesn’t stay together. Sorry. Back in 2019, <em>Young & Restless’ </em>Rey (Jordi Vilasuso) and Sharon (Sharon Case) served up a heaping plate of Thanksgiving cheer. Nowadays, though, she seems more interested in dishing out food with Adam’s ladle.</p>

<p>It doesn’t get much more wholesome than a 1955 Thanksgiving with <em>Search for Tomorrow</em>’s Jo (Mary Stuart), Arthur (Karl Tate) and Patti (Lynn Loring). Though that bird looks a little… off. </p>
