The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers: Zende might mend Brooke and Ridge’s fractured relationship

The Bold and The Beautiful is experiencing some heated drama at Forrester Creations. In the upcoming episode of December 24, 2024, as a member of the inner circle of trust for this family, as well as someone with immense value in this business, Zende Forrester Dominguez, portrayed by Delon De Metz, stands between this tempest between Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).

As Brooke enters the role as CEO with a bold plan to reclaim the company from Hope (Annika Noelle) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), Zende is now privy to vital information that would determine the fate of the company and Brooke and Ridge's relationship.

When he discovered the betrayal orchestrated by Hope and Carter, his immediate reaction was to resign from his role as the lead designer for Hope for the Future. However, Ridge, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), and Eric (John McCook) urged him to remain in his position and act as their insider.

The Bold and The Beautiful: Can Zende convince Ridge of Brooke’s true intentions?

Zende finds himself in a sensitive position as Brooke's confidant. When Brooke came clean about her real reasons for taking over the CEO role, she trusted Zende to know that she never intended to betray the Forrester family.

Now, it's up to Zende to convey that truth to Ridge in a way that penetrates the emotional walls created by the chaos at Forrester Creations. Ridge, confused by the pain of seeing Brooke in a place that he didn't understand himself, may not want to hear. But Zende's voice is one that carries importance, as he is one of the few family members to always prove his loyalty.

Perhaps Ridge needs to hear this truth not just from Brooke, but from someone like Zende who has no interest in playing games. Provided Zende can get Ridge to see what Brooke's really doing for what it's worth, he might very well be able to fix all the damage before it even becomes irreparable.

The Bold and The Beautiful: Will Ridge and Taylor’s moment of passion derail everything?

As Ridge and Taylor share a vulnerable and passionate moment amidst chaos, the situation gets even tougher on The Bold and The Beautiful. Brooke is busy with saving Forrester Creations, but Ridge finds peace in the familiar arms of Taylor. Zende may have the truth on his side, but emotions are sky-high, and Ridge might not act as he should, considering facts.

Taylor, being the supportive figure in Ridge's life, may not want to let go of the connection they rekindled. Zende's efforts might be thwarted if Ridge decides to pursue a future with Taylor instead of working things out with Brooke. The stakes are high, and Zende's timing will be crucial.

The Bold and The Beautiful: Is Brooke too focused on the company to fight for Ridge?

While Brooke's intentions for stepping into the CEO chair are noble, she unconsciously drives a wedge between her and Ridge as she is all about the reclamation of Forrester Creations. Consequently, she leaves little opportunity to solve the emotional turmoil about her marriage. Zende understands this delicate balance and believes that Brooke would never falter in her loyalty towards Forresters.

However, Ridge may view her actions as putting the company first and their relationship second. Zende will have to remind Ridge that Brooke's actions are out of love and loyalty, not ambition or self-interest. Meanwhile, Zende may have to remind Brooke gently that saving her marriage requires as much effort and attention as saving the company.
