Bold and the Beautiful Recap November 12: Ridge Forrester Tells Bill to Stay Away From His Wife

RIDGE WARNS BILL, KATIE TELLS HOPE, AND SHEILA HEARS ABOUT THE RING

TL;DR: Ridge Forrester walked into Bill’s office and told him, “I want you to stay away from my wife.” Katie told Hope she asked Bill to leave and will never trust Brooke with Bill again. Deacon told Sheila that Taylor said yes, and neither of them looked happy.

Ridge Forrester Draws the Line at Bill’s Office

“I want you to stay away from my wife.” That was Ridge Forrester on the Bold and the Beautiful recap November 12, standing in Bill Spencer‘s office with one message and no small talk.

He got there the long way. At home, still chewing on Bill and Katie, Ridge decided Bill is not over Brooke. Brooke pushed back hard. Bill’s priorities are Katie and his family, she insisted, and all he wants is to help the Logan sisters heal.

Ridge believed her. He just did not believe Bill, not even for a minute. He kissed his wife and headed straight to Bill’s office.

That is a long way from Wednesday, when Ridge found out Brooke let Bill into their house and called him “that piece of garbage.” Read Wednesday’s recap for how that blew up. It is also the showdown we said Bill would face once Ridge knew.

Why Did Ridge Tell Bill to Stay Away From Brooke on Bold and the Beautiful?

Because Ridge Forrester is sure Bill still has feelings for Brooke, and Brooke’s good intentions do not change that for him. She met Bill behind his back, in their own home, and Ridge decided the only person he could set a rule for was Bill.

Fans mostly cheered. In the Reddit daily discussion for Thursday’s episode, one viewer who admits they cannot stand Ridge said they liked that he pushed back on Brooke about going to Bill.

Katie Logan Tells Hope She Will Never Trust Brooke With Bill Again

The devastating news the previews promised turned out to be Katie’s marriage. Hope Logan came home and learned from Katie Logan that she asked Bill to leave because he had been meeting Brooke behind her back.

Hope was kind about it, but she asked the question her mother would want asked. Is anything really going on between them?

Katie is not sure. She would not put it past Brooke, though, and she made one thing plain: she will never trust Brooke with Bill again. Bill agreed on Wednesday to give her space, and for now that space holds.

Taylor Hayes Explains Her Yes as Sheila Gets the News

Deacon admired the diamond on Taylor Hayes‘s finger and asked what changed her mind. Taylor said she had been putting Steffy‘s wants and needs ahead of her own. Now Steffy makes big decisions without her, so Taylor made one of her own and agreed to be his wife.

Then she asked if he is happy, and Deacon Sharpe paused a beat too long before a work call saved him. When he brought up Ridge, Taylor told him, “There is no Ridge and me. It’s only you and me.” He let out a stressed breath as she walked out.

Sheila Carter had her own rough day. She parked herself in Li’s office insisting Taylor does not love Deacon the way she does, until Li had heard enough: “Take your nasty foot and get out of my office. Now!”

Later Sheila dropped by Deacon’s dressed as an accountant, hoping for a little fun. Deacon told her Taylor accepted his proposal, and neither of them looked happy about it.

Readers on our own Facebook page saw it coming. Under our Wednesday recap post, one reader said Deacon did not seem too happy about the yes.

Friday, Bill fights to justify his actions and Sheila pleads with Deacon. Follow it all in our full two-week Bold and the Beautiful spoilers.

Ridge Forrester Picked His Side, and So Did Everyone Else

Ridge Forrester trusts his wife and not Bill. Katie trusts neither her husband nor her sister. Hope is stuck in the middle with a mother on one side and an aunt on the other.

Here is my read. Ridge’s warning will not slow Bill down, because Bill is fighting on two fronts now, and our Bold and the Beautiful spoilers have him defending himself again on Friday. Meanwhile the only engaged couple in town has a groom who cannot say he is happy and an ex-wife who now knows about the ring. That kiss is not staying quiet forever.
