B&B Spoilers: Steffy & Taylor Ignore The Brutal True, Ridge Left Taylor at the Altar Because Brooke Has His Heart
As Taylor battles Broken Heart Syndrome, memories resurface of Ridge abandoning her at the altar. Despite his declarations of love, Ridge’s heart remains with Brooke, leaving Taylor forever second best.
As Taylor and Steffy Share a Touching Mother-Daughter Moment, History Threatens to Repeat Itself
In a heartwarming yet heartbreaking scene, Taylor and Steffy spent quality time together after putting the kids to bed, but their conversation quickly turned to familiar and dangerous territory – Ridge. While Steffy can’t help playing matchmaker, she seems to have conveniently forgotten one crucial detail from the past: Ridge literally left her mother standing at the altar because his heart belonged to Brooke.
MUST READ: The Writing’s on the Wall
Despite Steffy’s attempts to point out the “spark” between her parents and question why Ridge and Brooke haven’t remarried, she’s turning a blind eye to the painful pattern that’s defined her mother’s relationship with Ridge. While Taylor tries to take the high road, claiming she’s not waiting around for Ridge and Brooke’s relationship to implode, history tells a different story.
The Truth About Ridge’s Heart
Even as mother and daughter shared coffee and conversation, discussing how Ridge will “never have with Brooke what he had with Taylor,” they’re both ignoring the undeniable truth – when push comes to shove, Ridge has always chosen Brooke. The evidence? He left Taylor standing at the altar, a moment that speaks volumes about where his heart truly lies.
History Repeats While Taylor Takes the High Road
In a moment of particular poignance, Taylor acknowledged that she and Brooke share a deep love for their children and grandchildren. Yet even as she tries to maintain this mature perspective, Steffy can’t help but predict Brooke will “mess up” again. The irony? It’s not Brooke’s potential mistakes that have caused the most pain – it’s Ridge’s consistent pattern of running back to her, leaving Taylor heartbroken time and again.
Meanwhile, At Forrester…
While Taylor and Steffy discussed Ridge’s romantic life, drama exploded at Forrester Creations with Ridge accusing Hope of manipulating Carter. In a twist that emphasizes the deep family divisions, Ridge’s harsh words about Hope demonstrate once again where his loyalties truly lie – with Brooke’s nemesis Steffy, rather than Brooke’s daughter.
The Bottom Line
As Taylor battles Broken Heart Syndrome and Steffy continues pushing for a family reunion, they’re both choosing to forget the painful truth: Ridge left Taylor at the altar because his heart belongs to Brooke. While Carter declares his unwavering love for Hope despite losing everything, it serves as a stark contrast to Ridge’s history of leaving Taylor for Brooke time and time again.
The question isn’t whether Brooke will “mess up” again – it’s why Taylor and Steffy continue to ignore the writing on the wall. Ridge may love Taylor, but as long as Brooke is breathing, history has proven she’ll always be his first choice. Perhaps it’s time for both Taylor and Steffy to face this brutal truth and stop setting themselves up for more heartbreak.
Will Taylor finally accept that she deserves more than being Ridge’s second choice? And will Steffy ever acknowledge the pain she’s pushing her mother toward by continuing to play matchmaker? Stay tuned to The Bold and the Beautiful to find out!
