THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Brooke to Ridge, “Have Fun With Taylor … Your Second Choice!”
Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) have officially disintegrated following the Monday, January 6th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.
During a tension-filled conversation, what at first, seems to be Brooke and Ridge coming together and mending fences turns into Brooke’s worst nightmare.
Brooke explained to Ridge why she agreed to take on position of CEO of Forrester Creations. She explains she was going to reason with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) and make them give the company back to Ridge and Eric (John McCook). Her plan was done out of love and loyalty for him.

Ridge says he believes her, but then goes at her about not using the moment on the livestream to denounce her own daughter, Hope and Carter. She tries to reason with him, but Ridge continues on about resenting her for not defending his family. Brooke is infuriated at how quickly he dissolves their relationship time and time again and goes running to Taylor (Rebecca Budig).
Brooke hauls off and smacks Ridge in the face,after how he refuses to see her side of anything. She tells him to enjoy being with Taylor .. his second choice. As she storms out of the Forrester mansion, Taylor comes in and before you know it, Brooke pushes her out of the way, before she makes her grand exit.
Take a look at part of the conversation between Brooke and Ridge below.
Now let us know, are you fed up with Ridge? Brooke? Are you rooting for Taylor and Ridge? Doesn’t Brooke have some merit to the points she made? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
KKL brought it in this episode nice slap and nice Taylor toss those 2 losers Taylor and ridge deserve each other and I will say it again Rebecca Budig is no Taylor!
Absolutely right,so glad she slapped him,he deserved that and much more let that mealy mouth Taylor have him. His family is a complete mess of trouble and Steffy the witch. I hope and pray that Carter and Hope along with Brooke rise high and succeed in there business. I hate to see Eric hurt though he has always been there for Brooke.
Yes I am tired of the Steffy getting her Way how many times she went after Liam and I been sick of Taylor
This is so unwatchable why can’t you just etc Ridge and Brooke be together so tired of the back and forth and
If Ridge and Brooke breakup why can’t Ridge have someone else so tired of the Brooke van Taylor…writers need to change the script we habe been through this before just let Ridhe and Brooke be happy. I’ve been watching for over 30 years come one B and .
Their destiny socks! And it’s old
As many times as Hope did
Blah, blah, blah… this soap is TIRED!!
Put a fork in it. This triangle is done.
This whole soap is done.
I am getting sick of Steffie getting her way with Ridge, anything she suggests he does it! I wish someone would kidnap Steffie and take her far away!! Ridge isn’t a man he is a wuss!! Taylor isn’t even a good actress! Take her off already! I’m going to watch it this week and if it is still the same crap that’s the end for me. I have better things to do, like clean the toilets!!
Steffy*
ridge has alot of nerve what has he done all these years but flip back and forth between to stupid women he wasent loyal to taylor when they were first married he left his marrage and children to go with brook and back again with taylor i stop watching the bold and the beautiful years ago because of it the writer need to move on to new topics and story lines if they want me back as a viewer thortstan is to good of an actor to be on this show at lease when he was on all my childen he has a meater roll to play.
Ridge just has to have a woman. Always between Brooke & Taylor. He is terrible.
I wish they would bring Nick Marone back with Brooke’s son. They can turn the company back over to Forrester’s and then use what they’ve learned to bankrupt it. I hate this story line and the way that they are trying to make Brooke the bad guy. I don’t watch any more I can’t stomach it. Once in a while I will read a recap. You know once they get the company back Steffy is going to have an even bigger ego
If Ridge goes back with Taylor, I will not watch the show again!! I’m sick of the cheating he does without thinking of who he hurts. I wish Brook and Taylor would both drop his ass and they could bring on more men to the show for them. Leave Ridge high and dry!!!
Exactly what I said!!
Yesssss great idea and I’ve always said too to bring Nick Marone back for Brooke, they would make a hot, great couple together, she probably headed back to her Stallion maybe, cause Katie’s always been right about those two….
Nick and Brooke would be awesome
Taylor would drop Ridge in a heart beat
She has a history of going after any man interested in Brooke
Is Steffy aware that Taylor has also been with all the Forester men including Brooke’s son as well as others
Taylor tries to come off as virtuous- so not so Phony!!!
I’m rooting for Brook! I can’t stand that holier than thou and egotistical A** that Ridge is. Then he has that poor, mealy mouthed Taylor along with Steffy and Eric to back his worthless self. I would like to hope Brook will wash him off her heart and feet. Sadly, the heart doesn’t work that way.
That is not the characters Bill Bell created and it is an insult to both Ronn Moss and Hunter Tylo what Brad has miscast and changed who they were.
Wish they could bring back Ronn Moss. He was just so much better
Ridge is a jerk for what he is doing to Brooke he won’t even listen to her. Seems like he couldn’t wait to jump in bed with Taylor. Really sick of this story line. I think Brooke would be better off without him. Find her a new man. I don’t watch Stefy anymore she’s a real witch and she makes me sick. All Foresters think they are better than anyone else. I record my episodes of BATB and don’t watch episodes with Steffy in them. May end up not watching it anymore to many spoiled rotten Foresters!
After 35 years if watching, I stopped…the storylines are e horrible and the names ridge called hope is ridiculous. I couldn’t believe the writers sank this low, especially when steffy has killed her niece and shields twin. Ridge is a dick and belittles women in genral.
So true
Look up self defense please
Brooke has to move on from Ridge. It’s been years & years of going back & forth with ” her destiny”. Who on earth in real life would put up with him. As for the “World Famous Psychiatrist “, she can’t even see what her own daughter really is… A spoiled little rich girl who gets her own way with Daddy & Mommy & Granddad & her weak husband Finn & of course the ever waffling Liam. Carter the first man to stand up to her. Oh, PLEASE don’t tell me I’ve given the Writers a new Storyline.
Either bring back Jack Wagner as Nick Marone for Brooke or pair her back up with Deacon. I cannot handle Tristan’s Ridge these days. He seems to be sleeping through his lines now that he has won best actor two years in a row.
It seems like there’s no limit to B&B’s ability to simultaneously destroy characters and create preposterous stories. The whole FC takeover story is ridiculous, and the character of Ridge has become insufferable. Not to mention Taylor, who should know by now that Ridge is only settling for her because of Brooke’s perceived deception and support of her daughter. And Rebecca Budig is totally miscast in the role, which is making the whole situation worse.
Also, where is R.J. in all of this!? He should be pivotal in this story, given that he’s Ridge and Brooke’s only child together. What a mistake it was letting Joshua Hoffman go, ditto for Matthew Atkinson. Both R.J. and Thomas had much more story potential, especially in a story like this one.
And then there’s the whole mess with Luna, which makes zero sense. She was convicted for double homicide (with no trial!) and is allowed out of prison on house arrest less than a year later!? In the care of the man with whom she’s obsessed!? Completely implausible, and yes another reason R.J. should be around. But I guess now that psycho Remy is MIA, Luna will cause trouble for Will and Electra, before the writers inevitably drop them like they do with all their young characters.
It’s a tough feat given what’s going with the other soaps at the moment, but B&B has the laziest and most ridiculous writing BY FAR.
Nobody liked Popeye he’s fine being fired
I’m sick of Ridge going back and forth I have quit watching it
Finally Brook slapped Ridge and dumped his fat butt. Rebecca you ain’t no Hunter Tylo! Ridge lose weight and clean up, you’re too sloppy for a Forester. Steffy you are the biggest hypocrite and liar alive, you needed to stay in that cage. Finn is another wimpout. They already have Luna thirsting for Will, whoops looks l8ke she won’t be under house arrest for long, what a ĥoe. I hope Carter finds Daphne Rose and Steffy out soon, don’t let high on her horse Steffy keep winning. I only watch this flunkie show when there’s absolutely nothing else good on, including Premium channels!
Hey, whatever happened to Shela being the resident baddie?
Go to streaming then
Good! Leave the jerk, his bitchy daughter and rhe no self respect idiot in the dust! She will survive and thrive and that dog will come sniffing around again.
The writers make Ridge a wussy little lost boy who always has to be with a woman
AND fix his hair
So happy that Brook finally stood up to pathetic ridge,and hard up Taylor. Those 2 act like they are so perfect, Brook has it all over them Now,please clip Steffys wings,once in for all
I am all for Ridge and Taylor unity and pray this time RIDGE finally stays with her.. that’s where he belongs
You got these butthurt logan azz kissers wishing bad on Ridge and Taylor. BROOKE is a horrible woman. How many times have she cheated on Ridge with other men alot. But these so called fans wanna sit here trashing the forresters especially Steffy. They think Brooke slapping Ridge is a yay movement. Is not.
Exactly! And let’s not forget how Brooke’s trashed Thomas and Steffy for years but now she acts so hurt that Ridge called Hope out of her name. Puh-lease! Ridge has no reason to want a future with a woman who can’t accept his kids.
I love thorsten as ridge, very talented, not his fault writers give him bad storyline, I stopped watching a month ago after being a fan for yrs, the brook ridge Taylor saga ridiculous after yrs, and spoiled Steffy always interfering and getting her way when she’s done so many despicable things, Finn should be tired of it, since writers can’t come up with any new storyline after yrs of repetition TAKE IT OFF THE AIR
I love how Brook slapped Ridge he had it coming & how Brook told him off& then Brook shoved Taylor out of her way.
I like to see Taylor leave she’s too flimsy
Why have do you have Taylor? Is it true Ridge isn’t a Forrester? Instead of having Ridge & Taylor scene how about digging who’s the actual name right to Forrester Creation that would stir up an ant bed.
It was about time she stood up to Ridge and speak up for her daughter and I’m so tired of the same people getting back together let it go already and steffy needs to take care of her own family where are they now anyway please give Brooke a new new man and tell her to tell ridge bye boy
I can never get tired of Ridge and Brooke love story, they’re the reason I watch bold and the beautiful, so please don’t separate my favorite couple
I can’t stand Taylor please hurry up and get rid of her and her weak character
Ridge is a drag and Taylor is a chronic complainer they deserve each other, but watch out Taylor your always runner up and he uses you two dumb twits , Sister WIVES
Ridge=narcissist. I’d love to see an exciting murder mystery. The victim obviously should be Ridge. Bye bye
I’m so sick of the repeat story line the Brooke, Taylor ,Ridge bring someone else into the fold. I know it’s only a 30 min show ,but damn bring something new.
I’m sick of Steffy too acting as if she’s never done anything wrong or interfered in relationships. I can’t stand her or her daddy.
Brooke and Taylor are very poor role models for women! I’m disgusted with the way they let Ridge control them! Get a backbone and dignity! Writers let these women, stand up and say enough is enough, and kick Ridge to the curb!!

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy Tells Carter She’s Pregnant, But He Has a Way ‘Out of This Situation For All of Us’
After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”
As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?
On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN
Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.
Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.
However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.
B&B SPOILERS
In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.
Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.
Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.
So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section, but first check out B&B’s video teaser for next week’e episodes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.
Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.
At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.
So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
