The Bold and the Beautiful
B&B Spoilers: Ridge Forrester Sides With Steffy in Devastating Blow to Brooke Logan
Ridge Forrester sides with Steffy over Brooke Logan on Bold and Beautiful, crushing her co-CEO dream. Is their remarriage already doomed? Spoilers inside.
BROOKE LOGAN HUMILIATED AS RIDGE FORRESTER PICKS STEFFY OVER HIS WIFE
TL;DR: On the May 15 episode of Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge Forrester refuses to make Brooke Logan co-CEO of Forrester Creations, choosing daughter Steffy instead. Brooke is left to deliver the crushing news to Hope, and Zende explodes over his shelved collection.
What Happens to Brooke Logan on Bold and the Beautiful?
Yes, Brooke gets brutally rejected by her own husband. Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) flat out refuses to make her co-CEO of Forrester Creations, picking Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) over the woman he just remarried eight months ago. Brooke spent the entire week leaning into seduction strategy with Ridge, promising Hope (Annika Noelle) that a promotion was finally coming. Instead, she walks out of that office with absolutely nothing.
The look on Brooke‘s face when Ridge says no is going to haunt this storyline for months. After all the screaming matches with Katie at the Logan launch, after watching Hope‘s collection get shelved, after begging her husband to protect her daughter’s career, Brooke got picked second. Again. And the entire executive suite watched it happen in real time.
What do YOU think of Ridge’s brutal call? Write to Editor Amber at [email protected] and tell us if Bridge can survive this one!
Will Hope Logan Defect to Katie’s Logan Fashion House?
It’s looking very likely. Brooke now has to deliver the devastating news to her daughter, and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is already pushing Hope to walk straight into Katie Logan‘s arms at LOGAN. With Steffy dismissing Hope as “nothing without Forrester,” the pressure to defect is at a breaking point.
And Hope isn’t the only one. Zende (Delon de Metz) lost it on Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) about his sidelined collection. The Forrester design team is one bad meeting away from a full revolt, and Katie has the checkbook ready to scoop up every disgruntled designer in Los Angeles.
Is Ridge Forrester’s Marriage to Brooke Logan Already Over?
Don’t be surprised if this is the beginning of the end. Ridge and Brooke Logan only remarried in September, and Bradley Bell publicly called Brooke his endgame. But picking Steffy in such a public, humiliating way is the kind of betrayal that doesn’t heal quickly. Especially not with Nick Marone conveniently back in town and Taylor getting a brand new “perspective” on Brooke next week.
Could this mean she finally puts her sister and daughter first? Given the Logan family’s brutal history with the Forresters, my gut tells me Brooke is about to flip the entire chessboard. CBS has been steadily building this Logan versus Forrester war for months, and Ridge just handed his wife every reason to switch teams. The fashion empire he spent decades building may not survive his loyalty problem.
What’s Next for Ridge, Brooke, and Steffy?
Reading between the lines of the May 18 to 22 spoilers, three things look inevitable. First, Brooke tells Hope the bad news, and Hope reaches her breaking point at Forrester for good. Second, Bill rolls in as the “new sheriff in town,” ready to weaponize his money against Ridge. Third, Steffy celebrates her win too soon, not realizing her father’s choice may have cost him his marriage.
If history is any guide with these writers, Brooke does not take public humiliation lying down. Something tells me Taylor‘s “new perspective” on her isn’t going to be flattering, and the cliff house is about to host yet another explosive showdown that nobody walks away from clean. Ridge made his choice. Now Brooke gets to make hers.
Did Ridge make the right call, or did he just blow up his marriage to protect Steffy’s crown? Drop a comment below and let us know whose side you’re on, Team Brooke or Team Steffy!

Lord, have mercy. Don’t tell me that Bell is still going to try and make that old whore the victim????? C’mon. Ridge has been choosing that old nag over his children for decades, and this time, he can’t because she owns the company. Brooke will look like an idiot if she goes over to Katie since the last debacle with Eric. Bell is making an ass of himself with this storyline. Brooke and her garterbelts will totally stupid on the heels of Eric’s idiocy by going over to Katie. Talk about public humiliation, this would be it. This looks like Brooke and her little twit are not going to help Katie. They will just hurt her. As for Ridge, if he loses that old batalax out of this he hasn’t lost much. She has been getting her way with him for decades. Throwing her old worn out body at him is getting old. That is no resume for a job promotion especailly at her age.
