“YOU’RE FIRED” – Ridge Yells At Katie’s Face For Insulting Taylor | Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers

A storm is brewing at Forrester Creations, and it’s about to explode in a way no one saw coming. For weeks, Ridge Forrester has tried to maintain a delicate balance between family loyalty and the future he’s building with Taylor. But Katie Logan’s relentless interference finally pushes him past his breaking point—and the fallout is nothing short of explosive.

Tensions have been simmering for days as Katie subtly, and not so subtly, tried to steer Ridge back toward Brooke. What began as occasional comments turned into a full-on campaign, with Katie questioning Taylor’s stability, suitability, and influence over Ridge. Ridge, for the most part, kept his composure, giving Katie the benefit of the doubt—until she crossed a line that couldn’t be uncrossed.

It all goes down during a tense morning meeting at Forrester Creations. The team is reviewing press coverage from the latest fashion show, which had been a huge success. But leave it to Katie to find a way to turn the moment sour. With a smirk, she remarks that Brooke’s contributions to the show remind everyone how strong Forrester used to be—before Taylor re-entered the picture. Ridge clenches his jaw but lets it slide. Then comes the dagger: Katie insinuates that Taylor’s past mental health struggles make her unfit to be both Ridge’s partner and a public face of the company.

The room goes silent.

Ridge, visibly shaken and furious, rises from his seat. With a steely voice, he demands Katie repeat what she just said. Caught off guard, Katie stammers but stands her ground, insisting that someone needs to speak the truth. She accuses Taylor of weakening Ridge, claiming he’s not the same man when he’s with her.

That’s the final straw.

Years of bottled-up frustration explode as Ridge tears into Katie, accusing her of manipulation, disrespect, and overstepping. He’s no longer willing to tolerate her attacks—not as a professional and certainly not as someone who claims to care about him. With unwavering resolve, he tells Katie she’s no longer welcome at Forrester. Effective immediately, he wants her resignation.

Katie is stunned. Fired? By Ridge? She thought their bond, their family ties, would protect her. But Ridge is unmoved. His loyalty to Taylor is crystal clear. She’s the woman he loves, and he’s done letting others belittle that love under the guise of concern.

Meanwhile, Taylor remains blissfully unaware at the cliff house, enjoying a quiet morning coffee. But she knows Ridge has been carrying a weight. When he arrives, his energy is different—strong, purposeful. She senses something happened. He kisses her forehead and gently breaks the news: he fired Katie. Shock washes over Taylor, followed by concern, but Ridge silences her doubts. He did it because he won’t allow anyone to disrespect her—not anymore. For Taylor, it’s an emotional moment. She’s long been used to being second place in Ridge’s world, but now she sees—he’s all in.

News of the dramatic firing spreads like wildfire. Donna wastes no time telling Brooke, who is livid. She storms into Ridge’s office demanding an explanation. “She’s your family!” Brooke exclaims. But Ridge is calm, resolute. “And Taylor isn’t?” he fires back. He reminds Brooke that respect is non-negotiable, and Katie lost hers the moment she crossed the line. Brooke is left speechless, realizing this isn’t a temporary phase. Ridge isn’t wavering. There’s no back-and-forth this time. He’s made his choice—and he’s willing to burn bridges to defend it.

The Logan family is rocked. Katie, blindsided and humiliated, is left to pick up the pieces. But will she simply walk away? Or will she retaliate? Knowing the Logan fire, it’s possible Katie won’t go quietly. She might even dig into Taylor’s past, determined to expose something damaging to justify her actions and paint Ridge’s decision as rash and emotional.

For now, Ridge stands firm. To him, protecting Taylor isn’t just about love—it’s about loyalty, respect, and taking a stand. The power shift at Forrester is seismic. The lines are drawn. Ridge has chosen his path, and there’s no turning back.

But questions linger. Has Ridge made the right move? Was he right to defend Taylor so fiercely, even at the cost of family ties? Or has he just started a war that will tear everything apart?

One thing’s certain—this isn’t just a family feud anymore. It’s personal, it’s professional, and it’s going to get ugly. The battle between the Logans and the Forresters is far from over. And with Ridge now firmly on Team Taylor, every move, every word, and every betrayal will carry more weight than ever before.

The fallout has begun. And in the world of The Bold and the Beautiful, when loyalty is tested and love is on the line, no one comes out unscathed.
