The Bold and the Beautiful is set to unleash another jaw‑dropping twist that will ignite fan discussions like never before. In a stunning sneak peek for next week, Taylor Hayes does the unimaginable — she proposes to Ridge Forrester.
Yes, you read that right. After months of dancing around their rekindled bond, Taylor throws caution aside and asks Ridge to be her husband. The scene is deeply emotional, charged with tension, and dripping with vulnerability, leaving viewers shocked and questioning what could have driven her to such a bold decision.
The reason? Just one name. Nick Marone. Ever since Nick resurfaced in Los Angeles, the ripple effects have been impossible to miss.
Ridge has been visibly unsettled, keeping a wary eye on Brooke and growing more jealous every time she mentions her old flame. Taylor isn’t blind to the shift in Ridge’s demeanor, and it’s starting to haunt her. She knows all too well how easily Ridge’s loyalty can waver — especially when Brooke is in the picture.
So, in a moment fueled by fear, doubt, and a desperate need to cement their bond, Taylor decides it’s now or never. She arranges an intimate dinner, pours out her heart, and with a hopeful smile, looks into Ridge’s eyes and whispers, Will you marry me? But the silence that follows is anything but what she hoped for. Ridge doesn’t leap up with joy, doesn’t sweep her into an embrace.
Instead, he appears torn, deeply conflicted. His hesitation is palpable, and Taylor’s heart starts to sink before he even speaks. After a long pause, Ridge gently takes her hand and replies, I’m not ready for that. I just can’t. The rejection slams into Taylor like a lightning bolt. Her eyes widen, her lips quiver, and for a moment, she forgets how to breathe.
She’s sacrificed so much for this man — her time, her trust, a second chance. Yet now, when she needs a promise, he delivers a refusal.
Ridge tries to soften the sting, explaining that although he’s committed to her and treasures what they’ve rebuilt, marriage just isn’t where his heart is right now. But Taylor knows better. She knows where his heart truly rests.
Later, in an intense and deeply raw conversation, Ridge lets down his guard. I saw Brooke with Nick, he admits, unable to mask the anguish in his voice. And it made me jealous. I don’t know what that means, but I can’t ignore it. Taylor’s face tightens as she whispers, so you still love her? Ridge doesn’t answer — and in that silence, the illusion shatters. Now, Taylor stands at a painful crossroads.
Her desperate bid to secure Ridge has not only failed, it’s backfired completely. She’s left to grapple with the brutal reality that Ridge may never be fully hers, that the ghost of Brooke will always haunt their bond. So what will Taylor do? Will she walk away with her dignity intact? Or will she double down, determined to keep fighting for the man she’s cherished for decades? This latest twist guarantees emotional fallout for every person involved.
How will Brooke react when she finds out Taylor proposed and was rejected? Will Nick swoop in to claim the space Ridge has left open? And can Ridge truly walk away from Brooke? Or will Taylor’s heartbreak send him right back into the arms of the woman he can never forget? With hearts breaking, loyalties shifting, and tensions rising, next week’s episodes will be a whirlwind of emotion. Buckle up, because in Los Angeles, love is never simple — and the war for Ridge Forrester’s heart is only just beginning.
