For what feels like the umpteenth time, The Bold and the Beautiful’s most famously indecisive heartthrob, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), is once again caught between Taylor (Rebecca Budig) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). We’re starting to wonder if poor Taylor is about to come down with another case of Broken Heart Syndrome.
Taylor’s Diagnosis
Taylor returned to Los Angeles hoping to reconnect with her kids, but she was also hiding something big. She’d been having symptoms that felt suspiciously like a heart attack. Eventually, Dr. Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) gave her a diagnosis she’d never heard of before (but probably should have): Broken Heart Syndrome. After all the times her heart’s been broken, we’re surprised it took this long for her to hear about it.
Thankfully, it turned out to be a temporary condition and was pretty easy to treat. With Ridge’s help, Dr. Shandra (Minita Gandhi) stepped in and guided Taylor through a few therapy sessions. And just like that, she bounced back. Emotionally patched up and ready for love, Taylor found herself once again front and center in Ridge’s very complicated love life.
Will Taylor’s Heart Break Again?
After Brooke and Ridge hit another rough patch (shocker), Ridge ran back to Taylor. This time felt different. He swore he was committed. He “meant” it. Taylor believed him. She even popped the question herself, surprising Ridge with a ring at Il Giardino. He said yes. It was sweet. Romantic. Hopeful. But as we all know, promises can be broken—and so can hearts, especially in this zip code.
Still, Ridge was holding steady. Taylor trusted him. She really believed he wouldn’t let her down again. So when Ridge and Brooke jetted off to Italy on a business trip, Taylor stayed calm. No drama. No jealousy. Total faith in her man. She even held her own against the Logan sisters, who were confident that there was only one man for their sister.
But then, plot twist. Brooke nearly drowned. Ridge dove into the Mediterranean like some soap opera superhero, pulled her out, gave her CPR, and then—because of course, he did—kissed her. Once she came to, he held her close in his arms, told her he’d never hurt her again, and vowed to make things right. With Brooke.
Wait… what?
So now we’re left wondering: is Ridge going back to Brooke? And if he is, how long before Taylor finds out? Will she suffer another round of Broken Heart Syndrome?
Maybe not. But her heart? That’s definitely going to take another hit. (Photo: CBS.)
