In the May 15 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge gave Brooke a dress as a peace offering. He hoped she would accept it since she wasn’t getting what she really bargained for. Ridge’s news exposed Brooke’s ego. She never cared about steering Forrester Creations in the right direction. She only wanted to go up against her sister.
Key Takeaways
- Brooke encouraged Ridge to make her co-CEO of Forrester Creations.
- Ridge brought up the idea to Steffy, who turned it down.
- Ridge admitted to Brooke that he couldn’t take her position away.
- Brooke revealed that she wanted to be on the same level as Katie.
Ridge Bursts Brooke’s Bubble
After a tough conversation with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) returned to Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) with a gown. He tried to let her down easy, calling her his muse. He was willing to give her any title or promotion. But he couldn’t take away Steffy’s co-CEO position.
Ultimately, he didn’t want to demote his own daughter. He didn’t want to lose her. Brooke was shocked by Ridge’s news. She was disappointed in him for not fighting for her. Ridge assured Brooke that she could have anything that she wanted, but she couldn’t have that position.
Brooke’s Ego Rears Its Ugly Head
In that moment, Brooke revealed her real desire to become co-CEO. It wasn’t about the business itself. It was because Brooke was jealous of Katie’s (Heather Thomas) having her own fashion company.
She wanted to become co-CEO to compete with her own sister. But the difference is that Katie owns her company, whereas Brooke would’ve run alongside Ridge, who actually owns the company alongside Steffy and Eric (John McCook). It was never her company to run.
Will Ridge Back Down?
For the first time in decades, Ridge chose his family over Brooke. But he might regret his decision. Brooke said she was disappointed in him.
Ridge assured Brooke that she could have anything but his daughter’s position. He couldn’t take that away from Steffy. He informed Brooke that she couldn’t be his co-CEO.
Brooke felt that she deserved a title. She claimed that Katie was right about one thing. She owned her own company and had the right to do whatever she wanted.
Now, Brooke wanted that for herself. She claimed this position meant a big deal to her, but she only wanted it so she could stick it to her sister. What will she do now? How will Hope (Annika Noelle) react to this news since it was her idea?
