‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Brooke Confides in Ridge about the Affair and Ridge Confronts Bill

As was being speculated, Bill and Brooke's affair is now coming out in the open and threatens to turn things upside down.

According to reports, Brooke will decide to end her affair with Bill and soon after Ridge runs into her. Brooke confides into him about her secret that has been pestering her for a long time. She admits to him that she is in a dilemma and does not want to betray Katie. The talk exposes her weakness and fragile emotional state.

Seeing her distress, Ridge is rattled. The more she gives out details about Bill putting her into a position, she is not willing to be in, the more Ridge seethes. He warns her to be careful of Bill and tells her that he is a selfish man. Brooke makes him promise that he would not say anything to anybody about what she told him, but he decides to take up matters in his own hands. He is determined to drill sense into Bill's head.

Later, he walks in on Bill and Brooke in their office and despite being assured that nothing was going between them, he cannot contain his anger. He sneers at him through some scathing comments and things come to a blow. They have a confrontation and given their temperament, one can well imagine how it will turn out.

It is clear that Ridge is being defensive of Brooke as he considers her to be a friend. He thinks that Bill is forcing her to continue with the affair. He feels that he is taking advantage of Brooke and since she is in a weak state, it is his job to stand up for her.

Well, it seems their relationship will move ahead into something more. If Caroline leaves Ridge for Thomas, it is only natural that the two friends will come closer. As for Caroline, Ridge overheard her telling Thomas that they should go public with the paternity secret of Douglas. She also told her son that keeping things under wraps is not fair and the truth needs to come out.
