Brooke is TOTALLY SHOCKED when Ridge said she was fired | Bold and Beautiful

The aftermath of the locked door debacle at Forrester Creations is sending shockwaves through the company—and through long-standing relationships. As tensions boil over, Brooke Logan finds herself at the center of an escalating war—not just with Taylor Hayes, but now with Ridge Forrester himself.

In the days following the disastrous fashion show, Brooke becomes more volatile than ever. Her focus turns to Taylor, whom she now views as more than just an annoyance—Taylor has become a serious threat. In Brooke’s eyes, Taylor is jeopardizing everything she has worked so hard to build with Ridge: their history, their legacy, and their power within Forrester. The gloves come off as Brooke seizes every opportunity to lash out, her sharp words cutting deep.

“You’ve always been chaos,” she seethes at Taylor during one particularly heated exchange in the design office. “Every time you’re near Ridge, something goes wrong. This company doesn’t need you, and neither does he.”

Taylor, long the peacekeeper, finally reaches her breaking point. She’s had enough of Brooke’s constant attacks and rises to defend herself. Just as their war of words threatens to erupt into something more physical, Eric Forrester steps in, demanding calm. But rather than being the neutral voice of reason, Eric shocks Taylor by siding squarely with Brooke.

To him, Brooke represents the polished, poised image he believes Forrester Creations needs moving forward. “You always knew this was temporary,” Eric coldly tells Taylor. “Ridge belongs with Brooke.” The statement stings, and it’s clear Taylor feels ganged up on.

While Ridge remains silent through the argument, it’s obvious that both Brooke and Eric are expecting him to speak up in Brooke’s favor. What neither of them anticipates is Ridge’s next move—a decision that blindsides the entire room.

Ridge calls a private meeting in the main office. The air is thick with anticipation. Everyone from Steffy to Carter can sense that something major is about to happen. Brooke walks in with quiet confidence, convinced Ridge is finally going to reaffirm his loyalty to her. Eric watches with pride, certain his son will fall in line.

But then Ridge begins to speak.

“I’ve made a decision,” he says calmly, locking eyes with everyone in the room. “And it may not be what some of you want to hear.” He then turns to Brooke, his tone steady but unrelenting. “You’ve crossed too many lines. You’ve not only attacked Taylor, but you’ve created division in this company. That stops now. Brooke… you’re fired.”

Gasps ripple across the room. Brooke’s expression freezes in disbelief. “Ridge… what are you saying?” she chokes out.

“I’m saying you’re no longer a part of Forrester Creations,” Ridge says firmly. “I’m choosing peace. And I’m done allowing Taylor to be treated like she’s the problem—because she’s not. You are.”

Brooke, the woman who for decades has held untouchable status at Forrester, is suddenly cast out—stripped of her power, her place, and perhaps most painfully, the man she thought would always come back to her. Eric is stunned, rushing to argue Ridge’s decision, but Ridge cuts him off.

“You’ve tried to control this family for too long, Dad,” he says. “Not this time. I’m drawing the line.”

Taylor, though stunned, doesn’t gloat. For once, she isn’t caught in a love triangle scandal—she’s being respected, protected, and finally recognized as someone worthy. It’s a feeling she hasn’t experienced in years, and though she remains composed, the weight of the moment isn’t lost on her.

Brooke’s departure is dramatic. Eyes blazing with fury, she storms out of Forrester Creations—leaving behind a company she once dominated, and a man who chose someone else not in secret, but publicly and with finality. But is this really the end?

Ridge’s choice may bring temporary calm, but it also risks igniting even more conflict. Can he truly remain committed to Taylor this time? Or will old habits resurface? And as for Brooke—has she truly lost her position at Forrester Creations, or is this just the beginning of her most powerful comeback yet?

Because one thing is certain—Brooke Logan doesn’t go down quietly. And when she returns, as she inevitably will, she’ll be ready to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers… possibly with a vengeance no one, not even Ridge, will be prepared for.

Whose side are you on? Did Ridge finally make the right choice—or has he just lit the match that could burn Forrester Creations to the ground?

Stay tuned, because this isn’t just a power shift. It’s a reckoning.
