I may repeat myself, but THIS only should disqualify Tridge - The World of the Bold & the Beautiful Fan Forum

I said it when Taylor came back and professed her love. www.worldofbb.com/index.php?id=2749980

Taylor does not love Ridge and I will have this in my mind every time she says so. The father of her children, the supposed love of her life was in jail for an atrocity SHE did. And she chose to keep quiet.
It isn't even like Ridge turned himself in to protect Taylor. How could Taylor know Bill would lie and pretend the shooter was Ridge? She heard it on the radio and she didn't even lift a finger. She only returned to LA weeks later after Liam convinced Bill to change his version.

As far as I'm concerned it directly disqualifies them as a couple. I literally shiver every time Taylor says she loves Ridge or claims she would never let him down or betray him. Letting an innocent person in jail and not turn yourself in is bad enough. But the fact that it was the man she pretends to love makes it ten times worse.
I could never be with a person who did something so cruel and then let me vegetate in a jail cell for it. Cheating on a husband/wife is bad, this THIS is another level of betrayal.
Even if the writers decided to pretend it never happened, it doesn't erase it. Even if Taylor and Ridge remain just friends and never get back together, their friendship will still look fake.

I am still rooting for Bridge even if I don't agree with everything they do... But I'm sure of one thing. If Ridge commits a major crime and Brooke is thrown in jail instead of him and he still doesn't come clean and he lets her behind bars, I would never see this couple the same way again. Even if they aren't together. It would be the final nail in the coffin.

The problem with me is the chemistry isn't there for BRIDGE anymore

You make some points, but it has been shown that she does love him. I don’t think she would have let ridge go to prison if it came to that.

But she did let Ridge go to prison. She heard it on the radio (she said it) Ridge had been arrested and thrown in jail for Bill's attepmted murder. Did she come back to LA and turn herself in? No. She didn't.
How can she claim to love a man after she let him be handcuffed and locked up for something she did? I could never look her in the eyes again if I were Ridge.

It's in the dialogue that Taylor did return with the intent to clear Ridge after she found out he was arrested but on her way back to LA she heard that he had been released. That's when she went directly over to Bill's to confess she was the one who shot him.

And we're supposed to believe what Taylor says? She is a pathological liar like her son. This is the same woman who lied for 12 years about her affair with James and lied for months about her role in Darla's death.

What she says is irrelevant, only actions matter.
Ridge was in jail for 2 weeks, between March 21 and April 4. It was a little less in real time but there were still several days. It was also clearly said in the dialogs that Ridge spent "days" in jail until Liam convinded Bill to change his version.

It only takes half an hour to go to the police and confess. Taylor didn't even have to fly back to LA when she heard about Ridge. There are enough police stations in Paris or whoever she was at the time. She had days to make the right decision and she did not. She let Ridge be humiliated and accused of murder in front RJ and Brooke.

She only returned to L.A when she learnt Bill left the hospital and after Ridge was released. Apparently she came back to finish the job. Didn't she pick up the gun again and try to finish what she started, but Steffy walked in at the very last second and stopped her? If Steffy never showed up, I think it was made pretty clear Taylor would have shot him again. She only changed her mind after Steffy barged in and informed her Bill didn't "take advantage" of her.

Nothing says that you have to believe Taylor but the dialogue says she didn't come back to finish the job. Or that she waited until Ridge was released from jail because she was already on her way back. Taylor was not holding a gun to Bill when Steffy walked in so there was nothing for her to stop. .

Not when Steffy came in. She had plenty of time to shoot Bill again if that was her intention. But she didn't and it wasn't.

No, she was no longer holding the gun at Bill when Steffy came in. But, she was pointing a loaded gun at him, again. As for her intention, she was pointing a loaded gun at him. Suggests that she was thinking about shooting him again.

I read through the transcript of that day.. IMO she was not thinking of shooting him again.

Earlier she was holding the gun on Bill!!!Taylor had no intention of getting Ridge out of jail.
All this endless love crap - Taylor played the psychology game in Ridge from jump!
She initially won because Ridge was depressed over Caroline’s death and he couldn’t get Brooke.
She lied about sleeping with James. If she was confident in Ridge she would have told him the truth.
But actually if her daughter had sex with her own fil because her husband was kissed by someone when they thought they would die - maybe they have the saner bought process.

2 weeks in real time is less than a day in reel time at most 2 days and no she didn't lie about any affair with James since she didn't have an affair with him, and actually wrote a letter confessing what happened.it was merely a ons.And no she didn't lie about Darla's accident,You need to get the facts straight.Maybe watch again.

Taylor committed adultery with James and lied about it. The letter is irrevelant since it never made it to Ridge's hands. She knew she committed adultery and she knew that Ridge didn't know and yet she kept it from him for years. And, yes, she did lie about what happened to Darla. Did she immediately tell Thorne what happened? Did she immediately tell the police? The answer to both questions is no. That constitutes lying.

Exactly.She came to confess as soon as she heard that he was arrested.But he was released before she got to LA

Rain4 your post is so on point!! I have been screaming this for a long time!!
Whoever does not think the Bridge actors do not have chemistry, we all have our opinions. I think they have the best chemistry when it is written that things are great!
Taylor said she would not have let him stay in jail but she did. Brooke is the one who worried and did everything for Ridge and checked in Steffy.
We know who is seen onscreen is pot driven and actors’ availability. But something this big and Tom’s brain issue - this should have been addressed.
Taylor is not a very good mother or friend.

Taylor isn't good at much. She's lost any shred of decency she's ever had.

Excellent post - and one I had forgotten about.

As to the chemistry of Bridge that was mentioned in this thread, I don't think this Ridge has much chemistry with anyone. It always seems to me even when he's kissing one of them, he's always running through in his mind how the relationship will benefit him and whether the other person has done anything he disapproves of such that he needs to step back.

Taylor does not love Ridge and I will have this in my mind every time she says so. The father of her children, the supposed love of her life was in jail for an atrocity SHE did. And she chose to keep quiet.

Ridge has NO PROBLEM with that. Maybe he willingly protected Taylor knowing she shot Bill bc he told her Bill abused Steffy

I am still rooting for Bridge even if I don't agree with everything they do... But I'm sure of one thing. If Ridge commits a major crime and Brooke is thrown in jail instead of him and he still doesn't come clean and he lets her behind bars, I would never see this couple the same way again. Even if they aren't together. It would be the final nail in the coffin.

I never could root for Bridge bc of their forced beginning, Ridge pining for Caroline and making love to her while with Brooke, his reaction to her pregnancy and choosing to cancel the wedding plans once she miscarried. Then icing on the cake, Ridge rejecting Brooke, the opportunity to raise Bridget when Brooke had BLF to offer as a bonus … only to plan a chosen baby with his wife …

Protected Taylor? What are you talking about?
Ridge had no idea Taylor was the shooter. Only Liam, Bill and Steffy knew. Everyone found out several months later when Taylor returned to Los Angeles. Liam told Hope, then Hope told Brooke and Steffy told Ridge. He was literally the last person to know the shooter was Taylor.

My thought is that the writers think that a recast of Taylor's character will give us a fresh take on Tridge. But just as you said, there is too much water under that bridge (pun intended). I am a Bridge fan although I don't agree with everything either. I feel that Bridge deserves some peace. For years the manipulation of outside influences kept them apart. Steffy constantly points out Brooke's shortcomings while totally ignoring her father's misdeeds. I wish Bridge would either get together and stay together or completely separate with Brooke moving on happily and Ridge being miserable for a change without her. I really want a new man for Brooke if they are going to destroy Bridge.
