"Talk about betrayal says his portrayer, Thorsten Kaye. that's a big deal."
"Ridge and Brooke have been together for the last 35 years, on and off; that's always been the endgame.” says portrayer, Thorsten Kaye. "I think for him to walk away from her to be with someone else, it was a big deal, thinking he knew everything. But now, of course, he feels betrayed because he left her for something that wasn't her fault. So, that's a hard one. That's a tough one."
A reeling Ridge has some choice words for his manipulative son.
"We've been there before where Thomas does something, but this whole six months, eight months, you just feel like he was getting better." notes Kaye. "He wasn't with mannequins anymore and it seemed like everything was going to be great. To see that he would do this and he would lie to his dad, when he knew how much Ridge wanted to be with Brooke, and then he was caught in the middle? His phone call is the thing that changed everything."

How would anyone know he wanted to be with Brooke. He was kissing on and hugging Taylor.

Exactly. They were pawing each other for a long time before the phone call. And to say it was all about the phone call … maybe he needs to explain why Ridge lied and said the complete opposite when asked just that by Steffy in front of Taylor, Thomas and Eric, or why he said it wasn’t just one thing and Brooke didn’t do anything when he was chasing Taylor in Aspen. The least he could do is say Ridge didn’t know his own mind, was fooling himself, couldn’t stop thinking about Brooke, otherwise Ridge just comes off as a liar.

I believe Ridge would still be with Brooke if Thomas hadn't made the CPS call. That's what TK means, IMO. I think he said all that other stuff because he was hurt.

Yep. Fortunately for Ridge...since Taylor is also a liar...he can dump her guilt free.

I can see that, but again, that belongs in TK’s explanation. He leaves out the fact that Ridge denied that multiple times, and that’s a big part of the storyline.

Ridge said it several times on the show, that Brooke is the woman he wanted to be with.

But I hate that they keep bringing up this mannequin over and over again, knowing thie is the ONLY ''mistake'' he made while he was dealing with the hematoma. The writers gave Thomas a rational excuse for this one. He was hearing voices and seeing movments because he hit his head hard and the blood was pressuring his brain. That's why he was having these hallucinations and that's why he collapsed in front of Hope and needed a brain surgery. Even Brooke and Liam... that's the first thing they mention when they bring up Thomas' dark past... the mannequin.
Why bring it up? There are so many examples of bigger mistakes... and mistakes they can't excuse with the hematoma / brain surgery storyline. All the things he's done prior to October 2020 and in 2021/2022 were ALL on him. He tried to murder people, abused a kid, sexually assaulted woman and there was nothing wrong with his brain. He was just evil. So why mention this stupid mannequin over and over and over? That's the first thing Thorsten Kaye has in mind when he must give example of Thomas' past wrongdoings... Total nonsense. It would be more telling if he mentionned Berrygate or more recently, his association with Sheila. Those 2 dark lies weren't connected to the mannequin story.

I doubt TK even knows about Berrygate or anything else that Thomas did before 2013.

I doubt he even knows that he lied to Thomas about being Douglas's father.
Thomas is screwed up for so many reasons. He has been used by his mother, his father and grandmother.

That's all well and fine, but at some point Ridge has to be held accountable for his own actions. His own decisions. Ridge is lightening quick to blame everyone else. He's treated Brooke horribly for almost a year. He paid lip service to forgiving her for what happened NYE, but IMO, he truly didn't. He issues edicts and demands to Brooke about who she can and cannot see, but feels totally justified in hanging out, making out and finally having adulterous sex with another woman. With the CPS call, Ridge once again believes his psychotic son over and above the woman he's claimed repeatedly he loves, refusing to give her the benefit of a doubt or even a chance to clear her name by discussing the call with her. Ridge is a cheater, a liar and a hypocrite. But with this reveal, we're supposed to feel sorry for him? I sure don't!

I dont feel sorry for any of them. I so want Brooke to shut the door on him and have her locks changed. He made his bed, let him go sleep with his dog.

So true. Ridge is a caveman that treats women horribly. Actually, he treats everyone horribly. I know Brooke is probably going to take him back, though. I just hope she makes him beg.

I dont want er to take him back especially not right away. But if she does I want her to make him do more than beg. I want him to promise to stay away from Taylor just like she is expected to stay away from Deacon and Bill. Also have him set up ground rules with Thomas and Steffy right in front of her.

But will he? Ridge never seems to protect Brooke, especially from his vicious and vindictive offspring. Ridge's idea of "protection" is to keep Brooke away from Deacon and Bill. However, naturally, that's for his benefit and nothing to do with protecting Brooke.

A reeling Ridge has some choice words for his manipulative son.
"We've been there before where Thomas does something, but this whole six months, eight months, you just feel like he was getting better." notes Kaye. "He wasn't with mannequins anymore and it seemed like everything was going to be great. To see that he would do this and he would lie to his dad, when he knew how much Ridge wanted to be with Brooke, and then he was caught in the middle? His phone call is the thing that changed everything."
What a load of BS here too lol..given the fact Ridge already knew his son conspired with psycho Sheila, so stop pretending Thomas was getting better when you purposely kept Thomas' secret from your wife for so many months now.
And why only some choice words for your manipulatve son? Why not some choice words for your relentless daughter who manipulated too, browbeat you nonstop too? She sure ain't innocent in this mess!

Monster Thomas was right about one thing..that Steffy suddenly has this “fake concern” for Brooke. Steffy is such a phony..just a fake hero IMO.
Just imagine if she’s the one orchestrated a fake call using Brooke’s voice, you think she would come clean and tell the truth on herself? No freakin way! LOL.
