Brief Character History

Whipple "Whip" Jones III first appears when Ridge Forrester attempts to wrestle control of Forrester Creations away from CEO Brooke Logan while she is away attempting to deal with a unexpected pregnancy. After Brooke returns to the company, it is revealed that Whip spent twelve years working as a promotions manager for the company. After an attempt by Brooke to solidify family interests results in Whip being passed over in favor of Deacon Sharpe for the position of promotions manager, Whip feels resentment towards Brooke.

After an attempt is made on the part of Stephanie Forrester to humiliate Brooke at a Forrester Creations press conference by revealing that Brooke is several months pregnant, Whip uses the opportunity to align himself with Brooke and claims he fathered her child to subdue the paparazzi. This confuses Brooke's children, Bridget Forrester and Rick Forrester as they previously heard nothing about Whip.

Rick and Bridget begin to research Whip and discover that despite working with Forrester Creations since 1990, Whip still lives in an apartment with his mother in a less than desirable part of Los Angeles. Whip, meanwhile, discovers that Deacon is the father of Brooke's child and uses this information in order to blackmail her into presenting him with a car, a raise, a house and a yacht.

Despite all this, Whip eventually develops genuine feelings for Brooke and unsuccessfully attempts to seduce her multiple times. In an effort to prevent any future indiscretions with Deacon, Brooke moves to Paris briefly with Whip. After Brooke once again sleeps with Deacon while in Paris, Whip convinces her that only by marrying him can she bring an end to her affair with Deacon, which she agrees to but still pines for Deacon. Whip and Brooke's charade works until Bridget overheard her confess that she slept with Deacon, which results in her disowning Brooke and leaving Deacon. After Brooke delivers the baby and Bridget learnes the truth, there is no reason for Whip and Brooke to remain married. Whip has the marriage annulled. Whip transfers himself to Forrester International, where he remains for seven years.

In 2009, Stephanie began searching for a new public relations person for her new company, Jackie M, when she came across Whip's resume and decided that not only would he prove to be a capable public relations person but also a means to distract Brooke, which later proves to be unsuccessful.
