In this episode of *The Bold and the Beautiful*, Taylor takes a bold step and reveals a heartbreaking secret to Ridge. After receiving a devastating diagnosis abroad, Taylor shares that she

has a serious heart condition, with limited time left to live. Although Ridge and Taylor are no longer married, Ridge is deeply affected by the news. His concern for her is evident, as he

questions why this terrible misfortune has happened to her. Despite their divorce, Ridge still cares about Taylor deeply and is determined to help her in any way he can.

Ridge encourages Taylor to seek a second opinion, urging her to see a specialist in Los Angeles. He clings to the hope that perhaps the diagnosis she received overseas was wrong or that there could be an alternative treatment option that could save her. Ridge isn’t the only one pushing Taylor to fight for her life—Lee, another person close to Taylor, also advises her to reconsider giving up so easily. As a doctor, Lee is confident that there might be solutions Taylor hasn’t explored yet. In fact, Lee was aware of Taylor’s condition before Ridge and has been trying to persuade her to get tested again, believing she has more options than she realizes.

Lee suggests that Taylor should visit Dr. Grace Buckingham, a highly respected doctor and mother to Paris, who hasn’t been seen on the show in a while. Grace’s expertise, along with her blunt and no-nonsense approach, might be exactly what Taylor needs to face her condition head-on. Lee feels that Grace could provide Taylor with a clear and accurate diagnosis, offering the best possible chance for survival. Taylor is still relatively young, and Lee believes it would be a terrible tragedy if she were to lose her life prematurely.

Taylor’s situation reminds the viewers of Eric’s recent health scare. Despite being much older, Eric underwent surgery and was saved, giving fans hope that Taylor might experience a similar outcome. With advances in modern medical technology, Taylor has several treatment options available. These include a heart support device to help her failing heart, and in the most extreme case, a heart transplant that could give her a new lease on life.

Initially, when Taylor discovered her illness, she felt isolated and hopeless. She assumed that her passing wouldn’t make much of a difference in the lives of those around her. After all, Ridge had moved on and was happy with Brooke. But Ridge’s reaction to her diagnosis has caused Taylor to reconsider her assumptions. His concern and constant encouragement have reignited a glimmer of hope in Taylor. Ridge pleads with her to stay strong and pursue treatment, and his emotional support seems to be changing Taylor’s outlook.

With Ridge by her side, Taylor begins to believe that there might still be a chance for her—both to survive and to reconnect with Ridge. As they grow closer through this difficult time, Taylor starts to hope that her survival could lead to a new chapter in their relationship. The emotional bond between them is undeniable, and it’s clear that Ridge’s devotion to her hasn’t wavered, even with Brooke in the picture.

As Taylor awaits her results from Dr. Grace Buckingham, viewers are left wondering if she will find the strength to fight for her life and possibly rekindle her romance with Ridge. Will Taylor’s renewed hope lead to a successful treatment and a second chance at love? Tune in to find out what happens next on *The Bold and the Beautiful*!
