‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers finds that as we all know, last week Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) finally lowered the axe onto his ill-fated marriage. It had been just a matter of time since Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) was so unapologetic in her hatred of his son, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson), and his own burgeoning feelings for Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) really didn’t help matters at all. But the question is, will these two actually bite the bullet and go through with it and sign the papers? Let’s unpack this, shall we?
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Ridge might just be too lazy
From what we can tell, in his old age, Ridge has gotten to be way too complacent. He literally didn’t care when Thomas was getting out of control with Brooke’s daughter, Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) he just kind of thought it was time that both he and Brooke stood aside and let their kids handle their own relationships. Which is a position that one should take, provided that the kid hasn’t shown destructive tendencies like Thomas did.
But even when Thomas did things that proved worrisome to his wife, he didn’t pull him aside and talk to him, he didn’t bother to even ask what on earth was going on inside his head or why he was acting that way to Hope, he just wanted to ignore everything in favor of doing what exactly I don’t know. It’s not like he had that much going on anyway.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: No change to the status quo
Ridge became very, very comfortable with his life and he just wanted to continue being Brooke’s husband but he also wanted everyone to be happy. Of course with the way things were rounding out, we all knew that wan’t going to pan out but it looked like Ridge thought if he ignored something for long enough, it would just go away. Any shrink would tell you that is not the way things get handled in your life but Ridge wouldn’t know anything about that because the Forrester Clan seems to have something vehemently against getting psychological help of any kind.
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Brooke wasn’t perfect
Brooke knew that her approach with Ridge wasn’t working, but Ridge be damned, she was going to make sure that her daughter was safe. I am not sure where this Mama Bear instinct came from, if it had always been there or if it just cropped up when Hope lost her own baby daughter. One could argue that it had been there all along but at one point Hope got taken away from her when she was a child so I don’t know if always is the right word to use. Still, she villified Thomas in any way she could, even when he didn’t do anything directly wrong and then she yeeted Thomas off a cliff. i think that’s what broke Thomas’s fall, by the way, Brooke’s marriage. Maybe it Steffy looks hard enough she’ll be able to find the remnants of Brooke’s marriage lying around the beach somewhere. Box it up, give it back to her as a Christmas present!
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Giving up wifey status? Not to HER!
In the promo, it looks like Ridge is the one that is the most reluctant to sign the papers. It’s not like Brooke is gung-ho over the decision but she seems decidedly flippant when she says that she’s not going to change her mind about Thomas and if that is what it’s going to take to get divorce off the table then Ridge is kidding himself. However, there is one thing that might just get Brooke to fight for her marriage tooth and nail and that is Shauna Fulton.
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Shauna flips the table
Without Shauna in the picture, Ridge is still free real estate. Brooke can come and go as she pleases and they could spend years in a will they/won’t they limbo. However, with Shauna on the prowl, that ups the ante and while Brooke may be prepared to give up Ridge for the sake and sanity of her daughter, she is about to let any other woman have him. Once she realizes that the thing with Shauna is still on the table, this will change things. And it might even make her not sign the divorce papers out of pure spite. But we shall see, won’t we? Stay tuned!!!
