Ridge’s belief in Brooke’s disloyalty was sparked by her unexpected appearance in a video announcement by Carter, naming her as the new CEO of Forrester Creations. Viewing this as a betrayal, Ridge decided to commit fully to Taylor, vowing to love her sincerely and even planning to marry her. He acknowledges how often he has hurt Taylor in the past, despite her unwavering love for him. His past focus on Brooke always left Taylor feeling sidelined, but Ridge is now determined to make amends.
However, Brooke’s next move changes everything. She arranges a meeting with Ridge to reveal her true intentions behind accepting the CEO role. Brooke explains that her decision was part of a broader plan to reclaim Forrester Creations for the family. Shocked and touched, Ridge realizes that Brooke’s actions were not out of betrayal but loyalty. She had taken the CEO position to outmaneuver Carter and restore the company’s legacy, even though she couldn’t confide in Ridge during the process.
Carter’s decision to trust Brooke with the CEO position had caught her off guard, but Brooke saw it as an opportunity to fight for her family. After completing her covert mission, Brooke rushes to Ridge, laying everything bare. This revelation leaves Ridge ashamed of his earlier assumptions and deeply moved by Brooke’s dedication to him and the family.
Ridge’s guilt intensifies as he recognizes how quick he was to develop feelings for Taylor, believing Brooke had wronged him. He joins forces with Brooke to execute her plan to reclaim Forrester Creations and take revenge on Carter. Ridge also holds himself accountable for signing crucial legal documents without proper diligence, a mistake he feels obligated to rectify.
As Brooke and Ridge work closely together, their old feelings resurface. Ridge begins to understand just how much Brooke means to him, while Brooke reflects on her enduring love for Ridge. This emotional reconnection leads Ridge to question his relationship with Taylor, realizing that his bond with Brooke remains unparalleled.
Unfortunately, this leaves Taylor heartbroken once again. Despite Ridge’s promises, she becomes painfully aware that she has always been Brooke’s replacement during times of conflict. The cycle of abandonment leaves Taylor devastated as Ridge’s feelings for Brooke reignite.
The unfolding drama promises emotional reckonings and shifting alliances. Will Ridge and Brooke emerge stronger as a team, or will this turmoil create new fractures in their lives? Stay tuned for these shocking developments on The Bold and the Beautiful.
