Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) is all set to make her “deal with the devil” as she gears up to marry Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) – the man she stole from her sister Katie (Heather Tom) – in the hope of getting her hands on Bill’s Forrester shares. But it looks like the person who has the most to gain from this deal is the one getting cold feet. Brooke’s ex-husband Ridge wants those shares so that he can break his evil stepmother Quinn’s (Rena Sofer) hold on the Forresters’ business, but his teenage son RJ’s (Anthony Turpel) horrified protests make Ridge realise that the Forrester business may not be worth the price he will pay.
NOT MY MOMMY!
It’s clear to RJ that his parents are still crazy in love. On Monday 13 November, he walks in on Brooke stroking Ridge’s coat lapels while Ridge lovingly fondles Brooke’s elbows. RJ tells them to get a room, but later he sits Daddy down and scolds Ridge: “There is still something between you. You’re a designer, right? Then design your life. Put our family back together.” And after getting his father to admit that Brooke is the number one woman in his life, RJ demands, “Why would you let her be with a guy like Bill, a tacky, soulless egomaniac?”
MIXED MESSAGES MUCH?
Bill moans about RJ’s “down with Bill” campaign to Brooke’s sister Donna (Jennifer Gareis) when she returns to LA for the wedding on Wednesday 15 November. And Bill is right to resent it. One minute Ridge is telling Brooke that she needs to marry Bill ASAP, the next he’s admitting that RJ has a point. But Katherine jokes, “If Brooke and Ridge can’t get it together after 30 years, maybe they’re not the soulmates they thought they were.” And Brooke reminds Ridge, “You can’t lose me, Ridge, because you don’t have me. I am marrying Bill.” Cheeky Ridge then claims that Brooke is just going to divorce Bill anyway, so she should just grab the Forrester shares and get out. And when Brooke protests that she will be saying her vows for real, Ridge grabs and kisses her. He’s always respected her choices that way.
COUNTDOWN TO THE VOWS
Brooke’s other son Rick (Jacob Young) suggests that Ridge crash the wedding on Monday 20 November and warns him, “I wouldn’t count on their marriage imploding the way you think it will, because my mom is very much in love with Bill Spencer.” And when Ridge finally tells RJ why the marriage has to happen on Tuesday 21 November, an appalled RJ demands, “What type of person has a plan like this? What means more to you, Dad, the company or Mom?” At last Ridge sees the light and it’s wedding- crashing time! But Bold’s exec producer Brad Bell warns fans, “Ridge will be so consumed with what is happening at Forrester that it may get in the way of his plans. And we haven’t heard the last from Bill. He is a man who gets what he wants and he isn’t giving up on Brooke.”
