😱 “It’s Time to Say Goodbye…” — Kaye Confirms Exit
In a heartfelt yet jaw-dropping interview, Thorsten Kaye confirmed the news that fans feared:
“I’ve given Ridge everything I have. But now, it’s time to take a step back and breathe.”

“You can only be in that much romantic turmoil for so long,” he joked — but fans aren’t laughing. They’re devastated.
💔 The Final Heartbreak — Brooke Says Goodbye
Sources inside the B&B set reveal that Kaye’s exit storyline is nothing short of explosive and emotional.
After months of trying to win Brooke back — and watching her gravitate toward past loves like Nick and Deacon — Ridge finally hits a breaking point. In a gut-wrenching scene, Brooke delivers the final blow:
“I can’t do this anymore, Ridge. I need peace. And you’re not my peace.”
Fans will witness one last, painful goodbye between Ridge and Brooke, filled with tears, regrets, and a haunting sense of finality. Could this truly be the end of Bridge?
