On The Bold and the Beautiful, May 14, Ridge offered Brooke a gown that he designed especially for her. He claimed that Brooke was his. However, it seems like this dress is more of a peace offering, which could spell trouble for Brooke’s future.
Key Takeaways
- Steffy refused to let Brooke replace her as co-CEO.
- Steffy gave Ridge other options for Brooke to get the spotlight she deserved.
- Ridge surprised Brooke with a dress.
Steffy States Her Claim
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is outraged by Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) suggestion to give Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) her job. She closed the door on the idea.
Steffy reminded Ridge of her emotional speech from Wednesday’s episode. She begged her father not to choose Brooke over his own daughter. Steffy argued that he could push Forrester Creations into ruin and financial chaos.
Steffy felt that Hope (Annika Noelle) bugged her mom’s ear about becoming co-CEO so she could get her line back. She acknowledged Brooke’s contributions, but that doesn’t mean she was giving up her position that easily. Steffy suggested that Ridge give Brooke a new title or promotion so she can soak up the spotlight.
Brooke Gets Confident
Meanwhile, Brooke was confident about her night with Ridge. She told Hope that all he had to do was assure Steffy that they’d be collaborating. She would become co-CEO, but they would work together.
Hope and Brooke were tired of being considered “second-rate” at Forrester Creations. However, their confidence could backfire since Steffy doesn’t back down without a fight.
Brooke gleefully proclaimed that she will take her rightful place as co-CEO of Forrester. Hope agreed, stating that Steffy would have to realize that Brooke is the real queen of the fashion industry.
Ridge’s Consolation Prize
At the end of Thursday’s episode, Ridge showed up with a gift for Brooke. This gift wasn’t what she expected. She wanted him to return with good news that she had been named co-CEO of Forrester Creations.
Rather, he arrived with a special gown he had designed for Brooke, whom he called his muse. It’s unclear when Ridge had time to make a dress. Did he have this planned because he knew that Steffy would refuse his offer?
This sounds more like a peace offering, since he couldn’t convince Steffy to step down as co-CEO. Will Brooke accept Ridge’s consolation prize? Or will she continue to push him to make her co-CEO of Forrester Creations?
