CBS's The Bold and The Beautiful has been on air since March 23, 1987, and was created by Lee and William Bell. The show is set in Los Angeles and mainly focuses on the Forrester, Logan, Carter, and Spencer families. Recently storylines on the show showed one of the main characters Ridge being indecisive about being able to choose between Brooke and Taylor, his two love interests.
Ridge Forrester's indecision regarding this had been a storyline explored multiple times on The Bold and The Beautiful. Recently, during the December 30, 2024, episode, Ridge was shown sharing a passionate kiss with Taylor which reinstated fan faith in the couple. Yet, recent episodes showed Ridge and Brooke reminiscing about their past romantic relationship and Ridge hinting at a possible reunion with Brooke Logan.
Fans took to Facebook to express their opinions about the ongoing storyline involving the three. Most of them were disappointed at the repeated plot and the same narrative being used. One fan called Leslie Spengler Dunaiski said,
"Ridge and Taylor are unwatchable."
Fans also expressed how they did not like Ridge and Taylor's pairing and felt that the plot was forced. Most fans were supportive of Ridge and Brooke's rekindled romance but did not want the writers of The Bold and The Beautiful to keep reiterating the same storyline.
Recent developments between Ridge, Brooke, and Taylor on The Bold and The Beautiful
In the recent episodes of The Bold and The Beautiful, Ridge Forrester was shown sharing a passionate kiss with Taylor Hayes during the New Year's celebrations which hinted at a possible culmination of their relationship on the show.

Taylor's character on The Bold and The Beautiful was shown confiding in her daughter Steffy that she was very sure of her relationship with Ridge and its progression.
