The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers: Taylor’s Broken Heart Syndrome Gives Her an Edge with Ridge?

The Bold and The Beautiful spoilers and updates reveal Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) has recently taken a significant romantic step.

But we can’t help but wonder: Is Taylor Hayes’ (Rebecca Budig) broken heart syndrome the true motivation behind Ridge’s choice to be with her instead of Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang)?

Ridge’s Response To Brooke’s Reunion Pitch Didn’t Sound Convincing

After Brooke presented her case for a reunion, Ridge’s reaction didn’t exactly paint Taylor as the love of his life.

While fans of B&B have heard plenty about Ridge’s “commitment” to Taylor, being committed doesn’t necessarily mean she is his true desire. It almost suggested that Ridge might have welcomed Brooke back if he hadn’t already made a commitment to Taylor.

Essentially, Ridge seems too entrenched to withdraw now, and there could be a significant reason for that. When Rebecca Budig debuted as the new Taylor, B&B launched a storyline in which Taylor believed she was facing a heart failure crisis.

Ridge Was Afraid For Taylor When He Thought She Was Dying

Ridge felt a deep sense of worry for Taylor when he feared he might lose her for good. Fortunately, further examinations showed that Taylor was actually experiencing broken heart syndrome, which, while serious, was not as dire as he had initially thought.

Nevertheless, Ridge couldn’t shake the guilt he felt for having played a part in her heartbreak and its impact on her health.

He was determined to be there for Taylor as she worked through her recovery, so how could he ever bring her heartache again?

It would be utterly unkind for Ridge to betray Taylor’s trust after leading her to believe they were destined for a joyful future together.

When Has Ridge Ever Cared About Commitment?

Has Ridge ever truly valued commitment; his impulsive nature has led him to flit from one woman to another without hesitation in the past.

Perhaps his hesitation to return to Brooke stems from the desire to protect Taylor’s dreams and spare her from heartbreak. After all, Taylor has been making significant progress, and a setback could trigger another health crisis for her.

At this juncture, Ridge might not want to put Taylor through that ordeal. While it may be more harmful to give Taylor false hope, it seems that Ridge could be setting the stage for a future return to Brooke.

Ridge Wasn’t Giving Off Happy Vibes Picking Taylor Over Brooke

Regardless of the situation, Ridge didn’t seem particularly joyful after choosing Taylor over Brooke. It appeared that Ridge believed he was making the right choice, likely driven by a desire to prioritize Taylor’s well-being.

If his genuine intentions for being with Taylor revolve around shielding her from further health issues, she might come to realize that in time.

While Taylor has been envisioning a future with Ridge, the stability of their relationship could be at risk. Recent spoilers suggest that Ridge and Brooke’s story may not be finished yet, so keep an eye out for any significant romantic developments!
