Brooke Logan’s patience has run out as Ridge refuses to end his engagement to Taylor after their passionate Italy kiss. With Nick offering her a ring, Brooke demands Ridge choose NOW.
BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL BOMBSHELL: BROOKE’S PATIENCE FINALLY SNAPS AS RIDGE WON’T LEAVE TAYLOR AFTER ITALY KISS
Brooke Logan Is DONE Playing Nice While Ridge Continues His Decades-Long Waffle Act
Hold onto your champagne glasses, soap fans, because Brooke Logan‘s frustration has reached DEFCON 1 levels, and honestly? We’re HERE for it! After Ridge Forrester literally dove into choppy Italian waters to save her from drowning (talk about dramatic!), then kissed her with the kind of desperate passion that launched a thousand fan edits, you’d think the man would FINALLY know what he wants.
The man who’s earned the nickname “Waffle Boy” from frustrated fans is doing exactly what he’s done for THREE DECADES—absolutely nothing!
The Italy Kiss That Changed Everything… Or Did It?
Let’s talk about that rescue in Naples, shall we? Picture this: Brooke falls overboard from Nick Marone‘s boat (and yes, Nick’s back—more on that bombshell in a minute). The water’s choppy. It’s life or death. And who comes diving in like some kind of soap opera superhero? Ridge Forrester, that’s who!
The CPR turned into a kiss so passionate that spoiler sites are calling it a “Forced Epiphany” moment. You know, one of those convenient soap opera devices where a near-death experience suddenly makes everything crystal clear? Ridge supposedly realized Brooke was his “destiny” all over again. His one true love. The woman he’s meant to be with forever.
So naturally, he went home to Los Angeles and… stayed engaged to Taylor Hayes.
Record scratch.

Record scratch.
Yeah, you read that right.
Taylor’s Living in Total Denial While Brooke’s About to EXPLODE
Here’s where things get REALLY messy. Taylor is clinging to that engagement ring like it’s a life raft, completely refusing to see what’s right in front of her face. The woman is a WORLD-RENOWNED PSYCHIATRIST, people! How can she not see that her fiancé is emotionally checked out?
Ridge can barely look her in the eye. He’s dragging his feet on wedding preparations. He’s “emotionally conflicted” and “torn” according to official episode guides. But Taylor? She’s out here insisting the wedding will proceed as planned!
Meanwhile, Brooke‘s frustration is volcanic. We’re talking Mount Vesuvius levels of “I’m about to blow.” And honestly? After 30+ years of this back-and-forth nonsense, who can blame her? The woman has lived through:
Taylor’s TWO fake deaths (yes, TWO)
Stephanie Forrester literally faking a heart attack to manipulate Ridge into marrying Taylor
Thomas Forrester using a fake CPS call to frame her
At least FIFTEEN marriages to seven different men while waiting for Ridge to make up his mind
The patience tank is EMPTY, folks!
Enter Nick Marone With Perfect Timing (And An Engagement Ring!)
Just when you thought this triangle couldn’t get more complicated… Nick Marone swoops back into town with an engagement ring for Brooke!
Nick—Ridge’s half-brother and one of Brooke’s many ex-husbands—isn’t just here for a friendly visit. The man is offering Brooke a future without drama, without indecision, without having to wonder every single day if she’s “the one” or just a placeholder until Taylor inevitably comes back from her next fake death.
And here’s the kicker: Brooke‘s actually considering it! She’s issued an ultimatum to Ridge—choose NOW or lose her forever. No more waiting. No more patience. No more understanding.
The gloves are OFF!
Brad Bell Says This Is The “Endgame”… But Is It Really?
Now, head writer Brad Bell has gone on record saying this reunion between Brooke and Ridge is meant to be permanent. The “endgame.” He’s supposedly ending Ridge’s waffle boy days once and for all.

Now, head writer Brad Bell has gone on record saying this reunion between Brooke and Ridge is meant to be permanent. The “endgame.” He’s supposedly ending Ridge’s waffle boy days once and for all.
Insert skeptical eyebrow raise here.
How many times have we heard THIS before? The show has been built on this love triangle since 1987! It’s literally the foundation of the entire series. Can The Bold and the Beautiful even EXIST without Brooke, Ridge, and Taylor going round and round on their merry-go-round of dysfunction?
What Happens Next? The Fallout Is Going to Be EPIC
According to confirmed spoilers (and trust me, these are LEGIT), Ridge is about to call off his engagement to Taylor. The decision will leave Taylor “utterly heartbroken” and Steffy Forrester will be “predictably furious” at the betrayal of her mother.
But here’s what I want to know: Will Brooke even take him back at this point? After all this hesitation? After making her BEG for him to choose her following a near-death experience where he supposedly realized she was his destiny?
The woman deserves someone who doesn’t need to almost lose her to know he wants her! Someone who doesn’t require decades of drama to make a simple decision. Someone who isn’t going to run back to Taylor the next time she rises from the dead (because let’s be real, it’ll probably happen again).
The Real Question: Is Ridge Even Worth Fighting For Anymore?
Look, I’ve been watching this show since the beginning, and I’m just going to say what we’re ALL thinking: Ridge Forrester is NOT the prize these women think he is!

The Real Question: Is Ridge Even Worth Fighting For Anymore?
Look, I’ve been watching this show since the beginning, and I’m just going to say what we’re ALL thinking: Ridge Forrester is NOT the prize these women think he is!
The man is emotionally dependent on BOTH women. He wants passion and excitement from Brooke. He wants stability and virtue from Taylor. And he’s completely incapable of choosing because he’s too selfish to give up either one!
His hesitation after that Italy kiss isn’t just frustrating—it’s INSULTING. You save the woman you claim is your “destiny,” kiss her with earth-shattering passion, and then… nothing? You go home to your fiancée and continue planning a wedding you clearly don’t want?
Brooke‘s frustration is 100% justified. Taylor‘s denial is tragic but understandable—she’s been second choice so many times, she’s desperate to finally “win.” But maybe, just maybe, the real winner here would be the woman who walks away from Ridge Forrester for good.
Social Media Is Having a FIELD DAY
The fans are absolutely divided on this one! #TeamBrooke is celebrating her finally standing up for herself, while #TeamTaylor is furious that Ridge is about to break another promise. And then there’s #TeamNeitherGetALife trending with fans who are just DONE with this entire triangle.
One fan tweeted: “30+ years of the SAME STORYLINE and Ridge is STILL waffling? These women deserve so much better!”
Another wrote: “That Italy kiss was everything! When you almost lose someone, you realize what matters. Ridge knows Brooke is his soulmate!”
And my personal favorite: “Nick showing up with a ring while Ridge can’t decide is chef’s kiss perfect timing. Take the ring and RUN, Brooke!”
Will This REALLY Be The End of The Triangle?
As much as Brad Bell promises this is the “endgame,” we’ve been around this block before. The show’s DNA is built on this conflict. It’s survived cast changes, recasts, fake deaths, real departures, and decades of fan frustration.
My prediction? Ridge and Brooke will reunite. They’ll have a few months (maybe even a year if we’re lucky) of happiness. Taylor will either leave town or find a revenge romance with Bill Spencer or maybe even Nick.
But eventually—mark my words—something will happen. A misunderstanding. A manipulation. Another fake death. And we’ll be right back here, watching Ridge waffle between two women who deserve so much better than a man who can’t make up his mind.
Until then? We’ll be glued to our screens, watching Brooke‘s volcanic frustration finally get the better of her. Because after 30+ years of patience, the woman has EARNED the right to lose it!
Will Ridge finally choose before it’s too late? Will Brooke take Nick’s ring and give Ridge a taste of his own medicine? Can Taylor continue living in denial, or will reality finally crash down on her?
One thing’s for certain—the next few weeks are going to be EXPLOSIVE, and I’ll be here with my popcorn ready!
