BROOKE AND RIDGE’S RUNWAY MAGIC REIGNITES AS STEFFY FUMES OVER ERIC’S SHOWSTOPPER SCHEME

Eric orchestrated Brooke’s surprise runway appearance with Ridge that sent shockwaves through the Forrester family!

The April 28th fashion show at Forrester Creations sparked more than just industry buzz when Eric Forrester deliberately placed Brooke Logan in the showstopper dress, creating an unforgettable runway moment with Ridge Forrester that left Steffy Forrester absolutely livid. While the press and influencers went wild creating mashups of the former power couple, behind the scenes, a perfect storm was brewing.

FAMILY TENSIONS EXPLODE OVER BROOKE’S SPOTLIGHT MOMENT

Eric Forrester proudly took credit for the showstopper dress and Brooke’s surprise appearance, boldly declaring to the whole family, “It was bold, it was beautiful, it was Brooke,” as Steffy visibly fumed. The calculated move was apparently designed to change the narrative around Forrester Creations, using Brooke and Ridge’s history to distract from recent company drama.

The timing couldn’t have been worse for Steffy and Taylor Hayes, who walked in just as Eric was taking credit for the showstopper. Steffy had already been downplaying the significance of the dress to reporters, clearly uncomfortable with her father and Brooke stealing the spotlight. She later complained to Taylor that “Brooke always wants to be the center of attention” – a sentiment that’s been at the core of their family feud for years.

Making matters even more awkward, Taylor revealed she had accidentally locked herself in a vault with Brooke before the show. Though she insisted it wasn’t intentional, the timing raises questions about whether Taylor suspected something was brewing.

BROOKE CONFESSES FEELING “MAGIC” WITH RIDGE

In a private moment that could spell trouble for Ridge and Taylor’s relationship, Brooke confided in Eric that she “felt the magic return” with Ridge during their runway reunion. Eric seemed pleased with this development, telling Brooke it was “the best decision he ever made” – suggesting he might be playing matchmaker again.

The emotional confession came after Brooke told Eric she felt “more beautiful and appreciated than she has in a long time” during the show, highlighting how significant the moment was for her. As Brooke later reminisced alone, she called the day “unforgettable” – a clear sign she’s not ready to let go of those feelings.

RIDGE CAUGHT BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

Ridge found himself in a familiar position – caught between Brooke and Taylor. When confronted by Taylor about the showstopper moment, Ridge insisted he had “nothing to do with it” and dismissed it as “just a dress.” He reassured Taylor that they have “just as much history” and sealed his commitment with a kiss and declaration of love.

But the moment Taylor left the room, Ridge betrayed his true feelings by immediately flashing back to Brooke walking down the catwalk toward him. The wistful expression on his face spoke volumes about his conflicted emotions, suggesting that Eric’s plan might be working after all.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES ROMANCE BLOOMS

While the Brooke–Ridge–Taylor triangle dominated the main stage, another potential relationship was developing behind the scenes. Katie Logan caught Daphne Rose getting cozy with Carter Walton backstage, stroking his head and pulling him close. This unexpected pairing could add another layer of drama to the already complicated Forrester dynamics.

Meanwhile, Will Spencer and Electra Forrester shared some sweet moments amid the chaos, meeting with Spencer and Heidi, who admired Electra’s jewelry designs. Their budding romance provides a refreshing contrast to the more turbulent relationships swirling around them.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE FORRESTER FAMILY?

With Brooke admitting she felt magic with Ridge again and Ridge clearly affected by their runway moment despite his promises to Taylor, the stage is set for another round in this decades-long love triangle. Eric’s open admission that he orchestrated the whole thing suggests he’s firmly on Team Brooke, which will only further infuriate Steffy.

Steffy’s obvious frustration with her grandfather’s manipulation could lead to serious family conflict. Will she take matters into her own hands to protect her mother from another heartbreak? And how will Taylor react if she discovers Ridge’s true feelings about the runway moment?

As the fashion show’s success continues to make waves in the press, one thing is certain – beneath the glamour and accolades, the Forrester family drama is just beginning to unfold. With alliances shifting and old flames potentially rekindling, everyone at Forrester Creations better brace themselves for the fallout.
