Over at Forrester Creations on Monday’s The Bold and the Beautiful, the tension is thicker than Steffy’s hairspray. Brooke’s every move is being scrutinized by Steffy and Taylor, who are convinced she’s plotting a reunion with Ridge. They might have a point. After all, Brooke’s track record with romantic entanglements is about as consistent as the Los Angeles weather.
Carter, meanwhile, finds himself in the hot seat when Ridge pays him a visit. Ridge isn’t exactly known for his diplomacy, so this confrontation could get ugly fast. Will Carter stand his ground, or will Ridge’s badmouthing of Hope push him over the edge?
Taylor, in a moment of surprising naiveté, insists she trusts Ridge and doesn’t see Brooke as a threat. Steffy, however, isn’t quite so convinced. She knows Brooke’s tricks better than anyone, and she’s not about to let her mother get played again.
The real question is, does Taylor actually believe what she’s saying, or is she just trying to keep the peace? Knowing Taylor, it’s probably a little bit of both. She’s got a heart of gold, but she’s also got a history of getting swept up in Ridge’s orbit.
As Carter grapples with Hope’s tearful departure, Ridge stumbles upon him at Forrester, observing the weight of his COO position. Ridge’s attitude may just determine how Carter handles this increasingly sticky situation. It’s safe to say the drama at Forrester Creations is far from over. Buckle up.
“The Bold and the Beautiful” airs weekdays on CBS.
