The love triangle between Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), and Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) has been a cornerstone of The Bold and the Beautiful, but recent events suggest that the bridge connecting Ridge and Brooke may have finally collapsed.
Ridge’s Latest Scandal
Ridge crossed a line when he called Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) a derogatory name, sparking outrage from both Brooke and fans. This wasn’t just a slip of the tongue; it revealed deep cracks in Ridge and Brooke’s relationship. Add to that his growing closeness with Taylor Hayes, and it’s clear that Brooke may be at her breaking point.
Brooke has endured Ridge’s waffling between her and Taylor for years. She has stood by him through betrayals, misunderstandings, and outright disrespect. But this time, the stakes feel higher, and Thorsten Kaye himself seems to agree.
Thorsten Kaye Weighs In
In a revealing interview with TV Insider, Kaye shared his thoughts on Ridge’s relationships and the possibility of rekindling things with Taylor. “You can’t look too far ahead as an actor,” he explained, “but Taylor has always been a safe haven for Ridge. She’s less complicated than Brooke, and sometimes that’s exactly what Ridge wants.”
Taylor represents stability and comfort—qualities Ridge gravitates toward when the drama with Brooke becomes too overwhelming. However, Kaye also hinted that this dynamic might not be entirely fair to either woman, as Ridge’s indecision continues to leave both Brooke and Taylor in limbo.
Is Taylor the Right Choice?
Taylor has always been the more forgiving, less fiery alternative to Brooke. But is “safe” enough for Ridge, or is it simply an escape? Every time Ridge runs back to Taylor, he seems to leave a trail of unresolved issues with Brooke.
Fans have noted that Brooke deserves better—especially after Ridge believed she had called CPS on Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and had their marriage annulled without giving her the benefit of the doubt. Now, with Ridge’s disrespectful behavior toward Hope, many are asking: Is Brooke finally done?
What’s Next for Ridge and Brooke?
If Brooke decides to cut ties, will Ridge go running back to Taylor, as he has so many times before? Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) has certainly been campaigning for her parents’ reunion, and Taylor has made it clear she’s willing to give Ridge another chance.
However, the real question is whether Ridge will ever truly commit to anyone—or if his indecision will leave both women questioning why they keep giving him their hearts.
Fans Weigh In
Many viewers are rooting for Brooke to move on and leave Ridge to his endless cycle of confusion. But others believe Taylor’s calm and nurturing demeanor makes her the better match for Ridge in the long run.
What do you think? Is it time for Brooke to say goodbye to Ridge for good, or should she fight for their love one last time? And if Ridge does choose Taylor, will it be for love—or just convenience?
