In the upcoming episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge’s world is about to be shaken by a shocking revelation. After Taylor collapses

unexpectedly in front of him, Ridge immediately rushes her to the hospital, sensing that something is seriously wrong. Despite Taylor’s efforts

to keep her illness hidden, Ridge’s instincts tell him this is more than just a passing issue. When the doctors reveal the heartbreaking truth

that Taylor is suffering from heart failure and doesn’t have much time left, Ridge is left in disbelief. Taylor has always been meticulous about her health, and given her relatively young age, this diagnosis is especially hard to accept.

This tragic development brings back painful memories for Ridge, as it echoes his experience with his adoptive father, Eric, who also faced a grim prognosis in the past. At that time, Ridge was devastated at the thought of losing Eric, but fortunately, surgery saved Eric’s life. Now, faced with the possibility of losing Taylor, the pain feels all too familiar. Despite their divorce, Taylor still holds a special place in Ridge’s heart. The thought of her facing such a dire situation leaves him reeling.

What weighs even heavier on Ridge’s mind is how to break the news to their daughter, Steffy. Taylor has always been Steffy’s biggest supporter, and the bond between mother and daughter is unshakable. Ridge knows how devastated Steffy will be to hear that her mother may not have much time left. Steffy has barely had the chance to spend time with Taylor since she returned to Los Angeles, and now, the news of her illness will be a crushing blow. Steffy had even been trying to convince Taylor to stay in LA and avoid leaving for volunteer work abroad, but now it seems that Taylor’s departure may be far more permanent.

Ridge knows he must stand by Steffy during this difficult time, offering her the support she will need to cope with the heartbreaking reality. However, Ridge is also aware that Steffy has been hoping for a reconciliation between her parents. In recent weeks, Steffy has openly expressed her confidence that Ridge and Taylor would eventually reunite. In front of Brooke and Hope, Steffy has boldly declared that Ridge would leave Brooke and rekindle his relationship with Taylor.

Meanwhile, Brooke remains firm in her belief that Ridge’s love for her is unshakable. She’s convinced that, no matter what happens, Ridge won’t betray her by returning to Taylor. However, Taylor’s dire health condition could turn everything upside down. With Taylor’s life on the line, Ridge may feel compelled to do something drastic, and his deep emotional connection to Taylor could push him to make choices that shock everyone. Will Ridge break things off with Brooke to be by Taylor’s side in her final days, as Steffy hopes? Or will Brooke fight to keep Ridge from slipping away?

As Ridge wrestles with this emotional turmoil, the dynamics of his relationships with both Taylor and Brooke are on the verge of major upheaval. What happens next could change everything for the Forrester family. Be prepared for emotional twists and turns as this heartbreaking storyline unfolds on *The Bold and the Beautiful*.
