After years of romantic ups and downs, betrayals, and dramatic reunions, it looks like The Bold and the Beautiful is finally ready to say goodbye to one of its most iconic couples: Ridge and Brooke. The whirlwind of emotions between them reached its boiling point during a tense, life-threatening moment when Ridge pulled Brooke from the water after a yacht crash. As he held her, drenched and breathless, a long-buried truth surfaced in his heart. He had always known it, but now, in that moment, it hit him like a tidal wave—Brooke had always been the one.

It was a reunion, a moment that seemed to promise everything. Ridge’s trembling lips whispered, “I should have never let you go. Come back to me, Logan.” The camera held on Brooke’s tear-filled eyes as she clutched his hand, seemingly on the edge of agreeing, of finally giving in to the years of shared history. For a brief second, it seemed like Ridge might get what he wanted—another chance with the woman he’d spent a lifetime chasing.
