Brooke has been the ultimate queen of The Bold and the Beautiful for decades, but let’s talk truth, can she really move on from Ridge for good? Sure, she’s loved other men (and boy, has she had her fair share of unforgettable romances), but Ridge has always been the one constant in her turbulent love life. He is her “destiny,” after all.
Brooke’s Heart: Open for Business or Forever Closed?
Remember when she was swept up in passion with Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) own father, Eric (John McCook)? Or the whirlwind flings with his brothers and even his mortal enemy Dollar Bill Spencer (Don Diamont0)? On paper, she’s been able to love other men, but in her heart of hearts, Ridge is her kryptonite. Even when they’re apart, the chemistry between Brooke and Ridge smolders like embers waiting to catch fire.

We’ve seen Brooke try to give herself over to other men, but has she ever seemed truly fulfilled without Ridge? It’s hard to forget how even in her strongest “independent woman” eras, she still ends up drawn back to her “destiny.” So, what would it even look like for Brooke to completely cut ties and move forward with someone new?
Another Man, Another Heartbreak?
Fans are split: some want her to finally break free of Ridge’s hold and find a love that’s all about her. Others think Ridge and Brooke are endgame, no matter how many times they crash and burn. Could a fresh face in town be the one to sweep her off her feet and give her the happiness Ridge never could? Nick (Jack Wagner) is trying. Oh, boy, is he trying. He’s doing all he can to get Brooke to swoon, but so far, nothing he’s saying or doing is working. Is Brooke doomed to orbit Ridge forever, trapped in the same fiery cycle?

If Brooke does let herself fall for someone else, we have to ask, can she keep Ridge from creeping back into her heart? Or is he the one man she’ll never stop loving, no matter how hard she tries?
