Brooke Logan is in another relationship crisis on The Bold and the Beautiful, with Ridge Forrester getting back with his former wife, Taylor Hayes. While Brooke showed the intention to side with her husband despite his walking out on her, he misunderstood her recent move to head his company. As such, the frustrated Ridge moved into Taylor's waiting arms.
The Brooke-Taylor drama has been a story arc on The Bold and the Beautiful, one of the long-running CBS daily soaps, airing since March 1987. Brooke and Taylor have been romantically connected to Ridge Forrester at different times, and they have children from their marriages.
The soap's fans are upset with Brooke's fidelity towards Ridge even after he insulted her daughter and moved on to romancing Taylor. One viewer, going by the name Betty Williams, posted on the soap's Facebook fan page:
"Omg, is Brooke really that stupid? She's not going to give up on him? Wowwww"
Betty's message received many responses and fans agreed with her sentiment, pointing out Brooke had no backbone and was obsessed.
A few fans have questioned the writers about the characterizations.
Others have wondered why she didn't tell Ridge the truth. Some viewers considered Brooke and Taylor stupid for relying on Ridge.
The Bold and the Beautiful: Which action of Brooke's irked the viewers?
As viewers know, in an internal coup, Forrester Creations was taken over by company COO Carter Walton and designer Hope Logan. As Eric, Ridge and Steffy Forrester quit the company, Brooke Logan accepted the position of CEO of the company despite being unhappy about the coup.
As she revealed to Zende Forrester, Brooke planned to grab the powerful CEO chair to give the company back to Ridge. She meant to instruct Carter to draw up fresh LLC papers with the Forresters named as the managers of the company.
While Zende was delighted to know that she was loyal to the Forresters, Brooke went to inform Ridge about the plan herself.
However, after learning about Brooke's decision to step into the CEO's position, Ridge Forrester felt duped by the love of his life and reunited with his former wife, Taylor.
As Brooke arrives at the Forrester mansion to inform about her scheme, Ridge charges her with betrayal. While Brooke was pushed to tears, Taylor came down the stairs in Ridge's shirt after their intimate session.
However, Christmas Eve on the soap's Tuesday episode dated December 24, 2024, found Brooke declaring to Katie that she would not give up on Ridge. She even promised herself that she would make things right so that by the next Christmas she and Ridge would be together again.
What direction would Brooke likely take henceforth?
While it was shocking to note that despite Ridge's lack of integrity towards their love, Brooke feels obligated to remain loyal to him. While Ridge did not take much time to get intimate with Taylor and trust her with his inner thoughts, Brooke continued to look out for the company's well-being while planning on reinstating her ousted CEO husband.
She promised to get back with him despite witnessing his affair with Taylor.
Brooke's loyalty may take a dip if Steffy declares how her parents have come back together and make an ideal couple. If Steffy Forrester rubs it in, in her signature haughty manner, Brooke may have her shackles up.
She may feel resentful and keep the CEO's chair for herself. With her experience in holding the position in the past, she may do well at the job.
Moreover, feeling betrayed, Brooke may get into a new romance to spite Ridge. That may deepen the rift and misunderstanding between them further. Alternatively, Brooke may go on an ego trip and manipulate Ridge into dumping Taylor and coming back to her.
Stay tuned to CBS every weekday to catch the Brooke-Ridge-Taylor drama on B&B's upcoming episodes.
