So, here’s what’s going down right now.

Ridge is engaged to Taylor Hayes. Yes—engaged. He actually said yes to her proposal and told Brooke it’s really over between them.

Naturally, Brooke is devastated. But it’s not the end.

According to Brad Bell’s recent interview in an Italian magazine, Ridge has a major moment of clarity while he’s in Italy. Turns out, Ridge starts seeing things differently—and that leads him right back to Brooke.

Even though Taylor is dreaming about their future together, Brooke is the one who ends up winning in the end.

While all of this is going on, Brooke is also getting closer to Nick. He’s always had feelings for her. And now that Ridge is out of the picture, Nick is stepping in. He really wants a future with her—and this is his chance.

Next, Brooke starts to feel like maybe she just needs to let go of Ridge and move on. It’s not what she wants, but it feels like the only option right now. Ridge is with Taylor, and Nick is right there, ready to start something new with her.

But Brad Bell shared in an interview I had translated that Ridge and Brooke are the real endgame. Not Ridge and Taylor. Not Brooke and Nick. It’s always been about Brooke and Ridge.

This time, it’s Ridge who realizes it. He comes to see that Brooke is the one he truly wants. It’s not going to be Brooke doing anything dramatic to break them up. She could if she wanted to—but that’s not how it goes this time.

The first thing in Brooke’s Book of Chaos is Ridge’s brother, Nick.

Even though Ridge is all-in with Taylor right now, watching his ex getting close with his brother is not sitting well with him. That bothers him a lot. He says he’s moved on, but every time Brooke is seen with Nick, Ridge feels that sting.

He doesn’t like Nick being near her. Honestly, he doesn’t like Nick being around at all.

Deep down, Ridge still has strong feelings for Brooke. He may not say it, but his actions are loud and clear.

Now let’s talk about Brooke’s second plan: Eric Forrester.

Although Eric is smiling and saying all the right things to Taylor, he doesn’t really want Ridge to marry her. He’s always believed Brooke is the one for Ridge.

Behind the scenes, Eric is going to keep nudging Ridge. Little reminders, little pushes like, “Brooke is your destiny.” It might be quiet, and Taylor won’t hear it—but Ridge definitely might.

It might actually work—because when your own father is rooting for your ex, it matters. He truly thinks Brooke is the better match.

The next thing that might really affect Ridge is something emotional—something that reminds him how short and unpredictable life can be.

And that moment could come from a scary situation involving Steffy.

At the end of this week and going into next week, Steffy ends up in serious danger. Luna holds her at gunpoint.

Watching his daughter go through something like that again is going to hit him hard.

Taylor might take this as a sign to move fast. She may want to get married right away. But Ridge might start thinking things are moving too quickly.

And now let’s talk about what happens in Italy.

Brad Bell shared in his Auggie magazine interview that something big happens in Napoli—a moment that will bring Brooke and Ridge back together.

He called it historic and said it’s something different from anything they’ve done before. He said Ridge finally realizes he cannot live without Brooke.

That’s the moment everything becomes clear for him. We think—because Brad Bell said this is the moment that seals it.

According to the showrunner, Brooke and Ridge will be together forever after this.

Now, there’s a behind-the-scenes photo floating around that shows Ridge either jumping or falling into the water. It’s hard to tell. He could be diving in on purpose—or maybe it’s an accident and he falls in.

Some fans are even guessing that Brooke might fall in first, and Ridge dives in to save her. Or maybe Ridge falls in and has some kind of scary accident—a near-death moment that really changes everything for him.

So Taylor should enjoy this engagement while it lasts—because based on what we know, she and Ridge are still together when the Italy trip happens.

Ridge, Eric, Brooke, and Steffy are all there. But once Ridge comes back to LA, everything has changed.

So get ready, Bold and the Beautiful fans—because the Italy trip is going to change everything.
