This story arc reinforces that Ridge put his kids first

I have never liked Ridge at all, but I have never ever seen him not look out for Steffy and Thomas. RJ is the only child he’s abandoned. For new viewers, it is not true that Ridge abandoned Steffy and Thomas as children.

When their mother returned from the dead, he eventually went back to her and left Brooke and Ridge Jr. He returned to Brooke because as Taylor said with her own mouth, when he finds any imperfection in her, he’s not willing to work on it. She slept with her colleague James. She wanted to work on their relationship but Ridge called her a hypocrite and chased Brooke . The Tridge brats cannot blame Brooke for that split.

Only as an adult did Ridge get angry with Thomas. He turned on Thomas about Caroline 2 when show did another sloppily written drunk sex plot that looked like rape. Two, when he got Thomas to admit that he chased Emma faster and faster and contributed to her losing control of the car. That’s when he told him I’m tired of getting you out of trouble. He has never ever criticized Steffy about much of anything.

What this plot shows is that while Ridge loves Taylor in his own way, he indulges Thomas and Steffy. That is the real problem. There is no excuse for the writers pretending that he’s never considered their needs. My hope is they eventually right the record on it. Hopefully reuniting them as a family will explore that. I’m not their fans at all but I’m tired of the misrepresentation of the facts.


I despise Ridge for how he treats women, but It is always so weird when they say that he was not a father to his kids. He wasn't perfect, but no one is.

He sure sopports them no
