Steffy Reacts to Ridge’s Proposition
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) wanted to speak with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) about Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) taking over her co-CEO title. Understandably, Steffy was ticked off about the idea. She argued that Brooke had already become the embodiment of Forrester Creations. What more could she want?
She already made her mark. Steffy wondered about her contributions. She reminded her dad that she had built relationships with their online distributors, buyers, and social media influencers.
It was Steffy who kept Forrester Creations on the cutting edge of fashion. Ridge told Steffy that he’s grateful to her for that. But she realized something. He still considered replacing her with Brooke.
What Will Ridge Do?
Steffy’s reaction caught Ridge off guard. He reminded Steffy of the contributions that Brooke had made to their company. She was behind the BeLief formula and Brooke’s Bedroom.
She even became the face of their company at one time. Steffy acknowledged the successes that Brooke has had. There’s no denying that. But she’s not going to give up her position that easily.
This leaves Ridge in a difficult position. Now, he’s left with doubt and confusion. He dreamed of his wife running the company alongside him. But he’s also enjoyed running FC with his daughter, and is grateful for her contributions.
Will Ridge Hurt Steffy Again?
Ridge wanted to honor Brooke’s legacy. She’s become a fashion icon thanks to her work at Forrester Creations. But Steffy reminded Ridge that they were the dream team of the fashion industry.
Ridge admitted that he couldn’t do this work without Steffy. She was always one step ahead of the trends. Steffy noticed that Ridge kept mentioning Brooke’s legacy, but failed to acknowledge hers.
At the end of the day, it’s not about who’s more iconic. It’s about family. Steffy admitted that it was a bad idea, especially given Ridge’s record of choosing Brooke over his family. She had no doubts about his love, but it was clear to her that he loves Brooke more.
Steffy recalled the times when Brooke’s presence was forced onto Ridge’s kids. She informed him to stop listening to Brooke and to choose his daughter over his wife for once in his life.
