Ridge’s Hard Line Against Hope Could Finally Push Brooke Away

Ridge Forrester is playing with fire, and this time, he might get burned worse than ever before. The drama at Forrester Creations has reached a boiling point, with Ridge taking an incredibly harsh stance against Hope Logan over Carter Walton’s recent power play – and Brooke Logan is reaching her absolute limit with his behavior.

Ridge’s Double Standards Come Back to Haunt Him

Let’s be real here – Ridge’s treatment of Hope versus how he handles his own children’s mishaps is getting impossible to ignore. While he’s quick to give Steffy Forrester the benefit of the doubt, he’s showing zero hesitation in pointing fingers at Hope for Carter’s calculated takeover attempt. But here’s the thing: How exactly would Hope, who hasn’t exactly been studying corporate takeovers in her spare time, mastermind this kind of complex business maneuver?

The irony here is almost too much to handle. Ridge literally ordered Carter to prepare those LLC documents himself. Carter, who’s been feeling increasingly undervalued at Forrester, saw an opportunity and took it. Yet somehow, in Ridge’s mind, this is all Hope’s doing. Make it make sense!

History Repeats Itself in the Worst Way

If this whole situation feels familiar, it should. Remember when Thomas Forrester framed Brooke for that CPS call? Ridge didn’t even give Brooke a chance to defend herself before having their marriage annulled and running straight to Taylor Hayes. Now he’s pulling the same act with Hope, refusing to see any perspective but his own.

What’s particularly fascinating is how differently Ridge handled Taylor’s involvement in that CPS scandal. When it came out that Taylor knew the truth about Thomas’s scheme and was still willing to marry Ridge anyway, he barely batted an eye. Yet here we are, watching him tear into Hope for far less.

Brooke’s Breaking Point Approaches

For Brooke, this isn’t just about business anymore – it’s about watching the man she loves repeatedly choose to believe the worst about her family. Hope’s only real “crime” here was being a supportive friend to Carter, who was already determined to make his move with or without her backing.

The real question now is: How much more can Brooke take? She’s watching history repeat itself as Ridge once again rushes to judgment without having all the facts. And this time, it’s not just about her – it’s about her daughter.

The Tables Could Turn

Here’s where things get really interesting: Brooke is starting to see the wisdom in Hope and Carter’s perspective about Forrester Creations. Could we be looking at a scenario where Brooke not only stands up to Ridge but actually joins forces with Hope and Carter? Now that would be a power move nobody saw coming!

After everything that’s happened, maybe it’s time for Brooke to do more than just defend Hope – maybe it’s time for her to take action. With her extensive experience in the company and intimate knowledge of its operations, Brooke could be exactly what Hope and Carter need to solidify their position.

What Comes Next?

All signs point to this situation getting worse before it gets better. Ridge is digging his heels in deeper by the day, and Brooke’s patience isn’t endless. The real question isn’t if this will come to a head, but when – and who will be left standing when the dust settles.

Could this finally be the moment Brooke chooses her daughter over Ridge? After years of back and forth, could Ridge’s treatment of Hope be the final straw that breaks this legendary couple apart? One thing’s for sure – the halls of Forrester Creations are about to get even more dramatic.
