Taylor deserves so much more than what Ridge is offering—and it’s high time someone says it. History may have a funny way of repeating itself on The Bold and the Beautiful, but this time, Taylor (Rebecca Budig) needs to break the cycle and move on from the man who’s never truly been hers: Ridge Forrester.
Taylor Is Worth More Than a Backup Plan
For years, Taylor has dreamed of reuniting with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). After his latest breakup with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), it seems like the perfect time for the two to finally build a future together. But let’s be honest—this whirlwind romance is destined to end in disappointment. Ridge has spent years making the same promises, only to leave Taylor heartbroken time and time again.
Despite being a brilliant, successful woman, Taylor seems to overlook the glaring truth: Ridge is never fully committed to her. He’s always been the king of mixed signals, keeping her on the sidelines while pursuing other women. Taylor deserves more than just fleeting moments of happiness—she deserves someone who sees her as their one and only, not as a backup plan.
Ridge’s True Love Is Himself
It’s time to face facts—Ridge doesn’t love anyone more than he loves himself. His addiction to drama, the thrill of the chase, and the power of keeping two women constantly vying for his attention has nothing to do with Taylor’s needs. Ridge has shown that he’s not capable of truly prioritizing her. When he’s not with Brooke, he’s with Taylor. And when he’s with Taylor, his mind is still on Brooke. Ridge’s heart doesn’t have room for both women; it’s just a revolving door. Taylor deserves someone who is all in, someone who doesn’t have one foot in, one foot out.
Breaking the Cycle of Heartbreak
Here’s how this is going to play out: Ridge will use Brooke’s latest “betrayal” as the perfect excuse to dive back into Taylor’s arms. He’ll whisper sweet words, reunite the family, and make Taylor believe that their future together is finally within reach. But as soon as Brooke makes a power move and takes charge at Forrester Creations, Ridge will be back at her side, leaving Taylor shattered once more.
This cycle has gone on long enough. Taylor deserves a man who treats her like a priority, not an option. Ridge will never be that man. The moment Brooke makes an entrance, Taylor will be left heartbroken once again. It’s time for Taylor to stop letting Ridge use her as a temporary distraction.
It’s Time for Taylor and Brooke to Move On
Enough is enough. Taylor and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) have both spent too long caught in Ridge’s never-ending ego game. They deserve so much more than being pawns in his drama-filled love triangle. It’s time for them to finally cut him off and move on. Ridge needs to figure out who (or what) he really wants in his life—and until he does, he has no business toying with either of their hearts.
Taylor and Brooke deserve men who are fully committed to them, not someone who only shows up when it’s convenient. It’s time for both women to put themselves first and leave the chaos of Ridge behind, once and for all. The love triangle has run its course. It’s time for a fresh start for Taylor—and maybe, just maybe, she’ll finally find the love she’s always deserved.
