Ridge Moves Quickly After Dumping Taylor

Following the end of his engagement with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) wasted no time jumping back into Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) arms. He even urged Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) to officiate their wedding immediately. Ridge appears fully committed to Brooke and their future together—but smooth sailing may be far from guaranteed.

Even though Brooke is officially his true love, Ridge’s lingering concern for Taylor could spark tension. Fans know Ridge will want to make sure Taylor is coping well and not falling back into heartbreak.

Taylor Eyes a New Love Interest

Taylor has begun moving on from Ridge, recognizing that Brooke is the woman he truly desires after years of indecision. However, her budding romantic life might trigger jealousy in Ridge.

Spoilers hint that Taylor will become attracted to a new man this fall, though the identity of her next love interest remains unconfirmed. Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) is rumored to be a strong contender.

Deacon and Sheila’s Troubles Could Open the Door

Deacon’s marriage to Sheila Sharpe (Kimberlin Brown) is under strain following the Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) scandal. Should Taylor pursue a romance with Deacon, Ridge is likely to react strongly. He’s never trusted Deacon, and seeing Taylor with him could provoke protective—and jealous—behavior.

Interestingly, Brooke once even tried to play matchmaker for Deacon and Taylor in the past. But now, she won’t tolerate any jealousy from Ridge interfering with their own renewed romance.

Brooke Won’t Stand for Ridge’s Jealousy

Brooke is determined to focus on her remarriage with Ridge, and she won’t allow past rivalries or Ridge’s fixation on Taylor to derail their happiness. This sets the stage for potential conflict as the couple navigates their renewed union.

According to spoilers, Brooke and Ridge may face bumps in their path to marital bliss—even if their reunion feels perfect in the moment. Fans should brace for drama as Ridge’s lingering feelings for Taylor threaten to stir tension in the Forrester household.
