Brooke Allison English

Casting and creation
The role was originated by Elissa Leeds in the summer of 1976. However, Leeds was replaced by Barr within in just a few months. According to the producers, Leeds was not mature enough to play the 18 year old Brooke, her being the same age as the character. Barr announced her departure from the series in early 1981, and made her last appearance in June of that year. She was quickly replaced by Harriet Hall. However, Hall was later let go and Barr returned to the series on November 12, 1982.

1976–81
Brooke arrives in Pine Valley as a sophisticated college freshman, and the niece of Phoebe Tyler (Ruth Warrick).
