Brooke is Delusional

He's starting annulment proceedings so he kinda has ended the marriage. As for the difference between Brooke and Taylor, Brooke only ever got Ridge when Taylor was believed dead otherwise Doc was always his preference until the writers decided to throw 15 years of history down the drain and rewrite stuff. As far as I'm concerned this is the 15 year reset and they're putting things back the way they should've been.

Actually it was not 15 years. Ridge wanted Brooke, but she was married to Eric and separated from him, Rudge realized how much Eric loved Brooke so he did not want to hurt his dad. He then followed Taylor to S. Thomas and asked her to marry him. They married in 1992. In 1994 she screws James and dies in the plane crash, and is "dead" for months, but really she is in Morocco in Omar's harem. Ridge and Taylor did not remarry until 1998. She dies again in 2002. Returns in 2004 and she and Ridge are married again at the fake heart attack wedding. They divorce forever in 2006. So they were married a total of 8 years if you count the time he was married to Brooke after Taylor came back from the dead the 1st time, and he stayed with Brooke, though technically, he was married to Taylor.

In an interview Tylo gave back in 2011, she said Taylor usually lost out to Brooke, and she was more of the interloper in the triangle. She said all 3 of the actors had gotten sick of the triangle and wanted Ridge to stay married to Taylor for a time so they could do other SL's. Tylo said she was thrilled when she came back in 2006 and would be doing meatier SL"s like Taylor the drunk, Taylor plowing Darla down, etc. In the interview she also said the real chemistry was between Taylor and Thorne, that there was so much history between these 2 characters, and it is not sexual, but could have been grown into a them being a real supercouple.

I figure the woman that played the character for years knew her best, and according tp her, Taylor was not the love of Ridge's life, Brooke was, but Ridge was the love of Taylor's life, and she wished they had written Taylor finally having enough of being the second choice and moving on. When asked later about Taylor shooting Bill, she said she was thrilled that Taylor is the one that shot Bill. She said that after all Taylor had been through, and isolating herself from her family, that she would have deteriorated mentally and she liked the idea of playing the "crazy" psychiatrist.

She was asked to reprise the role again for 2021/22 and turned it down because the real love of HER life, had died, and she was grieving.
