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,

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. On the other hand, the January 3rd and 6th episodes revealed Brooke Logan sharing a meaningful conversation with Ridge where they both spoke fondly of their past romance.

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. She also mentioned how it would be easier for Ridge and her to navigate their relationship once Brooke's involvement in their life ends.

Steffy Forrester was shown reassuring her mother that Ridge would not get back together with Brooke despite her incessant pleading. Steffy expressed that she did believe Brooke would try every possible way to get Ridge back, but he would not budge.

In the January 6, 2025, episode of The Bold and The Beautiful, Brooke was shown slapping Ridge after he said that she was not family to him, even after being intimately associated with her for years. She was shown pushing Taylor Hayes out of her way and storming out of the Forrester's house. While fans are yet to see Ridge's reaction to Brooke and the consequences it has on Forrester Creations, the storyline involving the three will be developed in the upcoming episodes of The Bold and The Beautiful.


Fans can watch the show on CBS and stream episodes on Paramount+.
