…there’s nothing else for her to do on the show otherwise.

Brooke has two other men interested in her, especially Bill, but I can’t think of anyone else for Taylor.

They could have her single but unfortunately soaps don’t do stories for single people.

It would have been better if the show had brought Taylor back as moved on from wanting Ridge and then they could have gone from there.

Jack could have been a possibility if they could keep Ted King, or Bill, Justin, Carter.

Anyway I am glad though because I really want Brooke free of Ridge and I don’t know that she could have been without someone else keeping him occupied.

Now all the other options can be Brooke’s and they’re all an upgrade from Ridge.

My hope is for two things:

1) taylor and ridge do get married and its offical but ridge finds out what thomas did after hes legal married to taylor. Ridge thinks of staying with taylor for the marriage.

2) Brooke wedding present for Ridge is a ball and chain and with a card that says "You're in the marriage for 25 years to life!!!! (on the Forrester stage in front for cameras/the press) :didas

:lol :lol :lol

Carter and Taylor could work, too because Katie doesn't seem to have relationships that work and she's never around too much anyway. Carter really doesn't care what woman he's with. Taylor can't give him children, but then, neither can Katie. Quinn couldn't either.

I agree.

I was hoping they could get Denise Richards back full time to create some story for Tridge. I don’t like the couple but I thought it could be interesting to see Taylor deal with a nemesis besides Brooke and see Ridge’s true colors.

What option is there for either of them then. If they're married and happy or even just resigned, then there's no story there for Ridge or Taylor. That's fine with me, but I don't think BB wants to be paying someone when they have no story. But that's his problem.

I think the twist will be that Ridge will stay with Taylor.

They made it clear that Taylor was brought back for Tridge. Taylor was brought back still in love with him and even had stayed away because of Bridge.

There’s no other man on that’s an option for her. Eric is taken, Bill wants Brooke, Deacon wants Brooke but has something going on with Sheila…

What would they do with Taylor if Bridge reunited?

Imo that has always been the problem with the Taylor character: she doesn’t seem to thrive without Ridge.

Brooke on the other hand has been able to have successful pairings with any man she has been paired with.

I do think Taylor worked with Hector, Nick and Whip but I guess the show runners didn’t.

Edited to add: Hunter and Kyle Lowder as Rick were hot. Impossible to last but hot…

I thought Taylor did well with Nick! Of course he is no longer in the show but I thought they made a nice couple and Thorne too. Of the men on there now I could have seen Deacon but now with how he went with Sheila - yuck!

I think that's most likely because Taylor has even said things like she didn't want to be second choice, that Ridge wasn't marrying her simply because he left Brooke, etc., things to that effect. I have to wonder if she'd stay with Ridge knowing the only reason he "chose" her was based on a lie, that Brooke did something she didn't do at all.

The things is...there's nothing for Taylor if she "wins" Ridge either. All Tridge can do is take Stomas to the park each day. Taylor is stuck no matter what.

That’s a good point.

That’s why I could never get interested in Taylor like I am in Brooke. She can’t seem to have anything to do but worship Ridge. Probably because the character was only brought on as a love interest for Ridge and spoiler for Bridge.And they have never really let her evolve beyond that role.

Exactly how I see it. Taylor is what happens when a character is created for a singular purpose...and is never allowed to grow beyond it. They could've brought her back and had her having put Ridge behind her...and brought on she and Omar's kids to stir up trouble. Instead...we got a Taylor whose history was wiped clean...and played saint while chasing a married man.

Agreed. Erasing Taylor’s history wasn’t a good thing for the character because they could have used that history to draw on. Now we have nothing for Taylor but “she loves Ridge” and “she supports whatever her children want.”

That's true. Unless they bring on someone new, Taylor's story seems over whether she wins or loses Ridge.

Well, how about a Taylor/Finn/Steffy triangle? :whistle
Sinn can't stay happy forever. And the same way some people were arguing that Brooke and Liam confiding in each other about Thomas had to mean that something would happen between them, one could also argue that this random scene between Taylor and Finn at FC today, the first scene they have ever shared without Steffy in the room, has to mean something. Brooke and Liam at least have a valid reason for their conversations without Hope, because they are the only ones who don't trust Thomas. But what was the point of today's scene between Taylor and Finn? Taylor could have had exactly the same conversation with Steffy too.

I wouldn't even qualify Steffy as "happy" anyway. She oozes a lot of feelings lately, but happiness isn't one of them. But why can't Sinn stay together forever? I hope they do. They are so boring and useless, if it weren't for Sheila they would be totally transparent. No drama=backburner, so I hope they stay there for a long time. I don't disagree with you about Taylor and Finn being a possiblity, but I still prefer backburner.

I think Brooke shouldn't take Ridge back...she should move on, with Bill, or with a new man, or alone...and Ridge can have his new destiny, live at the beach with the giggling teenie WRP and have their darling kids over each day who can praise them for finally being a "family" again...may they live happily ever after and go to the backburner! ;-)

I agree with the posts that the writers have made Taylor a singular story character.
Brooke stood on her own, on the show without Ridge. And Brooke has moved on without Ridge. Ridge is the one who chases her to come back.
Brooke was right when Taylor first came back. She put her hand out to Taylor as a family member but Taylor was always stuck on Ridge. And according to Taylor, Brooke always messes up - not true - so I am sure she was waiting for the opportunity to get Ridge back.
Taylor cannot get past Ridge. She was with three good men - Nick, Rick and Whip and she dumped all three to get Ridge back. Rick supported Taylor fully. Taylor can never get over Ridge. The question for me is - does she only want Ridge to take him from Brooke.

Must be so because it's the only man she is laser-focused on. When a man moves on and even marries other woman than Brooke, then it's seriously time to move on.
