With The Bold and the Beautiful gearing up for another Italy shoot, this time in Naples and Capri, fans are bracing for what’s next. The last European trip resulted in heartbreak for Liam and a short-lived reunion for Ridge and Brooke. Now, with Ridge committed to Taylor, and Hope and Brooke both in a place of limbo, some viewers suspect the international backdrop means a familiar cycle is about to begin again.
While the production team shared scenic scouting photos and teased location shoots, fans online have voiced their theories about the motive behind this overseas storyline. Many believe it has more to do with “destiny” than fashion. Their comments suggest that fans think a romantic reset could be coming.
"Well for those of us that have unfortunately watched this show for 35+ years, you know that Ridge won’t stay with Taylor and that he will again end up with his ‘destiny’ once again. It will happen.

The above comment hints that long-time viewers expect Ridge to eventually leave Taylor and reunite with Brooke, calling it a predictable outcome after watching similar stories unfold for decades.
Another user criticizes the office sets, suggesting the production should prioritize set upgrades over overseas shoots.
