FULL – B&B Tuesday, SpoiIers | Brooke Says It’s ALL Ridge’s Fault! — ‘I’ll Never Forgive You!

The Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke’s Breaking Point – Nick’s Fate Shatters Her Ties to Ridge

In the dim, quiet glow of her living room, Brooke Logan clutched a folded medical report as if it were both a lifeline and a weapon. Her heart pounded like a drumbeat of devastation, each pulse driving the same two words deeper into her mind: Stage 4. Inoperable. No matter how tightly she closed her eyes, the words burned on the backs of her eyelids.

And then—she heard him. Not Ridge. Nick. That voice in her memory, rough but warm, tinged with charm. A voice she hadn’t lost yet, but one she knew was slipping away.

With the echo came something far darker than grief—anger. Not just at fate, but at Ridge Forrester, the man whose pride and stubbornness had helped destroy every chance for peace between them and Nick. Every choice, every manipulation, every power play had brought them to this moment.

The sound of Ridge’s confident footsteps approaching made Brooke’s spine stiffen. A wall built itself inside her heart, brick by brick, in the space of seconds.

When Ridge entered, suspicion in his voice but warmth in his words—“Logan, what’s wrong?”—Brooke turned with eyes burning from the inside out. Her voice came out hoarse: “Nick is dying.”

Ridge froze. His brow furrowed, his mouth opened and closed, but Brooke cut him off before he could offer empty comfort.

“No, Ridge. You don’t get to be sorry. Not now. Not after everything you’ve done. You stood by while the father of my child fought battles he never should have had to fight. Your pride was more important than his life. And now it’s too late.”

Ridge’s face shifted from shock to defensiveness, but Brooke stepped back, holding up her hand like a shield.

“Don’t you dare try to comfort me. I can’t look at you without seeing every time you turned your back on compassion, every time you made me choose between you and doing what’s right. And I chose you—God help me—over and over again. And for what? So I could stand here holding a piece of paper that says the man who once made me believe in forever has months to live… and part of the reason is you.”

Her voice dropped, sharp as glass. “You think you’ve lost me before? You haven’t. Not until this moment. I don’t want you back. Not when I can’t forgive you for this.”

She brushed past him without another word, her perfume the last trace of a life Ridge had just watched slip away.

Ridge’s Reckoning

Ridge stood frozen, the oppressive silence pressing in on him. He had seen Brooke angry before, but never with such finality. Part of him wanted to chase her, to protest that Nick’s illness wasn’t his fault. But another, quieter part of him knew she was right—at least in part.

Grabbing his keys, Ridge stormed out, determined to face Nick directly.

At Nick’s oceanfront home, Ridge didn’t bother with pleasantries. “I heard about your condition from Brooke. She thinks I’m responsible. I came here to hear it from you.”

Nick’s reply was blunt: “You didn’t cause my cancer, Ridge. But you sure as hell didn’t make my life any easier. Maybe Brooke sees the years of stress and constant fighting as part of the reason I’m worn down.”

It wasn’t condemnation, but it wasn’t absolution either. Nick’s words left Ridge hollow.

Two Paths, One Fracture

Back at Forrester Creations, Ridge buried himself in work, but self-doubt gnawed at him. Steffy arrived, urging him to fight for Brooke, but Ridge wasn’t sure if it was about love anymore—or about proving himself.

Meanwhile, across town, Brooke sat beside Nick’s bed, her hand resting lightly on his. It wasn’t about rekindling an old romance—it was about not wasting what time he had left. She resolved to be there for him every single day, whether Ridge understood or not.

Next Week’s Explosive Developments

The fallout from Brooke’s rejection of Ridge will send ripples across Los Angeles:

• Brooke’s Silence – She ignores Ridge’s calls, focusing solely on Nick, whose health takes another sharp decline. A collapse at the marina sends him to the hospital, where Lee warns Brooke privately that time is running out.

• Steffy vs. Brooke – Steffy confronts Brooke for “punishing” Ridge, but Brooke fires back with years of receipts about Ridge’s sabotage, warning Steffy to tell her father to stay away.

• Bill Spencer’s Offer – Bill, hearing of Nick’s condition, offers to fund experimental treatments, raising questions about his motives—and whether he’s exploiting the fracture between Ridge and Brooke.

• Taylor’s Return – Taylor urges Ridge to either apologize sincerely or let Brooke go, advice Ridge ignores until he sees Brooke and Nick sharing an emotional moment at the marina.

• Hospital Confrontation – Ridge accuses Brooke of “replacing” him. She cuts him down with: “It’s not about replacing you. It’s about choosing someone who needs me more right now.”

• Katie’s Dilemma – Katie discovers a sealed letter Nick has written for Brooke “to read when I’m gone” and wrestles with whether to give it to her early.

• Final Blow – By week’s end, Ridge shows up at Nick’s house, demanding they put the past aside. Brooke walks him to the door and says, “Don’t come back here again, Ridge.”
