A seismic announcement has rocked the Forrester mansion: Dr. Taylor Hayes—the psychiatrist and long-time rival of Brooke Logan—is pregnant! But the true identity of the baby’s father is a horrifying secret that threatens to destroy the Forrester dynasty forever.

Initially, the news began as whispers of doubt. After Brooke discovered Taylor and Ridge in a “too familiar” intimate moment in the study, she accused Taylor of using the company crisis to “slither” her way back into Ridge’s life.

The Pregnancy Plot to Trap Ridge

Suspicion intensified when rumors surfaced of Taylor purchasing fertility supplements and a leaked photo showed her clutching what appeared to be a fertility tracking kit. Media headlines screamed: “Is Taylor trying to trap Ridge with a baby?”.

Brooke, who had spent years fighting for Ridge, understood the stakes: a child with Ridge wouldn’t just bond him to Taylor emotionally, but permanently.

The Revelation of the Secret Lover: Deacon Sharp

 

Just as all attention focused on Ridge, a bigger shock dropped. Deacon Sharp—Brooke’s troubled ex-lover and Ridge’s arch-rival—was spotted at the same airport as Taylor just hours later. According to leaked sources, they had met in a manner that was “anything but platonic” shortly before.

The pieces began to click: If Taylor was pregnant and Deacon was involved, then the baby might not be Ridge’s after all!

The tension reached a boiling point when Ridge confronted Taylor and demanded a paternity test. After repeated evasion, Taylor finally acquiesced. The results didn’t just answer the question; they detonated a bomb:

The child was not Ridge’s—it was DEACON SHARP’S!

The fallout was immediate. Ridge felt humiliated and manipulated. Brooke, though vindicated for being right, couldn’t savor the victory as the scandal once again stained the Forrester legacy.

With Forrester Creations stock dipping and the media in a frenzy, the ultimate secret remained murky: Was this a desperate act by Taylor, or had Deacon genuinely fallen for her? Whatever the truth, one thing is clear: this one pregnancy may be enough to destroy the Forrester dynasty from within.
