Ridge’s Heart in Turmoil: Regrets Choosing Taylor as Brooke Pulls Away — A Painful Choice Looms!
Ridge’s Heart in Turmoil: Regrets Choosing Taylor as Brooke Pulls Away — A Painful Choice Looms!
By SoapDrama Digest
In the latest twist shaking up The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge Forrester is once again caught in the eye of a storm — and this time, his heart may finally break beyond repair. After choosing Taylor Hayes over Brooke Logan in an emotional showdown, Ridge is now consumed with regret, confusion, and longing as he watches Brooke slowly pull away… possibly for good.
The Aftermath of His Decision
Ridge’s choice to commit to Taylor was supposed to bring him peace — a fresh start with a woman he’s shared decades of history with. But instead of bliss, Ridge now finds himself haunted by memories of Brooke and questioning whether he made a huge mistake.
“I thought I was doing the right thing,” Ridge confides in Steffy in an upcoming episode. “But why does it feel so wrong now?”
Though Taylor has welcomed Ridge back into her life with open arms, his lack of emotional presence hasn’t gone unnoticed — and the tension is beginning to show.
Brooke’s Ice-Cold Reaction
Brooke, meanwhile, has undergone a transformation of her own. No longer chasing Ridge or begging for explanations, she’s stepping into her power — and that sudden shift is what’s truly rattling Ridge.
“I’m done fighting for a man who doesn’t fight for me,” Brooke told Donna in a recent episode, her voice calm, but her message loud and clear. “I deserve more than indecision.”
That cool detachment has Ridge reeling. For the first time, he may be realizing that Brooke won’t always be waiting with open arms. This time, she might really be gone for good.
Taylor’s Growing Suspicion
While Ridge struggles with his inner turmoil, Taylor is beginning to sense that something isn’t quite right. Despite his physical presence, his mind — and heart — seem elsewhere.
“You’re here, Ridge,” she says in an emotional moment. “But it feels like you left something behind… or someone.”
With Taylor already battling insecurity over Ridge’s deep bond with Brooke, the cracks in their reunion are beginning to widen — and it might not be long before everything shatters.
Steffy and Thomas Pick Sides
Caught in the middle of their parents’ emotional tug-of-war, Steffy and Thomas are beginning to take sides — and it’s causing family tension to bubble up.
Steffy remains fiercely loyal to Taylor, but even she can’t ignore Ridge’s emotional distance.
“If you’re not all in with Mom, then you need to be honest — with her and with yourself,” Steffy warns.
Thomas, on the other hand, sees this as a chance to pull the family together — but not without guilt, knowing that his past manipulations (like the fake CPS call) helped push Ridge away from Brooke in the first place.
A Painful Choice Ahead
With emotions running high, Ridge finds himself facing the toughest decision of his life — remain with Taylor out of obligation and shared history, or risk it all and try to win back Brooke, who may already be moving on.
To make matters worse, spoilers tease that a new man may enter Brooke’s orbit, adding even more urgency to Ridge’s decision. Will jealousy push him to act — or will he let pride keep him frozen?
“I never stopped loving her,” Ridge finally admits to Eric. “But I don’t know if I still have a place in her life.”
What Happens Next?
Upcoming episodes promise emotional confrontations, unexpected alliances, and a possible Brooke and Ridge reunion — or permanent split. And with Taylor’s patience wearing thin and Brooke finally reclaiming her independence, Ridge may find himself losing both women if he doesn’t act fast.
In Los Angeles, love is never simple — and one man’s indecision could change everything. Stay tuned, because hearts will break, alliances will shift, and Ridge Forrester’s world is about to be turned upside down… again.
