The Bold and the Beautiful recaps for November 14 – November 18, 2022, tease the calm before the storm, the buildup to an inevitable fall. It’s all going to end in tears and heartbreak.
Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) consoled Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) following the filing of his and Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) annulment… Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) warned Brooke against making another play for Ridge…
Ridge set Taylor on a mini-scavenger hunt — shades of the grand finale to their long-ago vacation in St. Thomas — which culminated in her finding a one-of-kind Forrester Creations gown and Ridge on bended knee, engagement ring in hand. Taylor happily agrees to marry him.
Despite his promise to delete the voice-altering app on his phone, Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) instead recovers several deleted files including the ones that prove Thomas framed Brooke for the CPS call. Thomas is hardly cowed by Douglas’s subsequent rebuke.
Ridge and Taylor delight Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) with the news of the engagement and fast-tracked wedding date: how does tomorrow sound? It’s music to Steffy’s ears. Eric Forrester (John McCook) and Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) are put out by the update. Donna takes it upon herself to break the news to Brooke… Steffy agrees to serve as Taylor’s matron of honor; Thomas is conscripted into the wedding party as Ridge’s best man… Thomas endeavors to prove to Douglas that he is justified in his actions. The boy remains unconvinced, despite the revelry going on around him.
Eric hosts a pre-wedding fete… Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) questions Ridge’s decision to tie the knot with Taylor… Brooke makes one last-ditch attempt to win Ridge back; she fails. Donna and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) rally around Brooke… Ridge erupts in front of his friends and family, stunning them with the revelation that Brooke sicced CPS on Thomas.
Those assembled at the Forrester manse, Steffy in particular, are incredulous over Ridge’s bombshell. Thomas scoots an obviously rattled Douglas upstairs while Brooke’s name is dragged through the mud… Brooke, Donna, and Katie dog Thomas for his past transgressions and Ridge for calling his marriage quits. Donna urges Brooke not to accept defeat. Katie likewise champions hope for a reconciliation.
Ridge recounts overhearing Brooke’s voice on the CPS call. Steffy questions whether or not Brooke’s actions engendered Ridge to return to Taylor. Ridge insists that he’s exactly where he wants to be. Thomas offers a toast to, “the wonderful couple, and the beautiful days ahead.” Taylor pledges her fidelity to Ridge. Ridge exudes discontent.
It’s Ridge and Taylor’s wedding day. Ridge is in want of a pair of cufflinks gifted to him by Taylor years prior; Carter offers to fetch them from Brooke’s abode. Before taking his leave, Carter opines that his good buddy is still in love with Brooke… Steffy helps ready Taylor.
Katie and Eric, two of Brooke and Ridge’s biggest proponents meet up and question Ridge’s intentions… Thomas rallies Douglas to dress for the big occasion and later begs Ridge not to disclose to Brooke his reason for finishing with her.
Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) pays Brooke a visit — he’s there to offer her support and to dissuade her from thinking that, “something or someone will stop Ridge from marrying Taylor today.” Carter overhears Bill declaring to Brooke that she is the woman he wants, not Katie.
