Brooke and Ridge were smoking and not one kiss was exchanged. I desperately want the show to hire a new guy for Brooke. Yes, I’m desperately hoping. But as much I hate to admit it, KKL and TK turned up the thermostat many notches with no effort. JMHO

They could always bring back one of her exes I guess. Nick or Thorne were included in the 5 loves of her life with Eric Bill and Ridge. Thorne was recasted several times and was still in love with Brooke. He would be the most likely choice.

But hiring a new guy for Brooke at her age? I doubt it. The chances to see her having some fling or affair with one of the young guys (Liam, Finn, Wyatt or Carter) are higher than a new guy.

If Taylor ever get a new guy, maybe Brooke can have some romance back. I am tired of their girl crush.

Other shows have brought in love interests for women Brooke’s age. It’s happened on YR quite a few times.

But B&B can't really be compared to shows that have a much bigger cast. With Ridge, Eric, Bill and Deacon, there are already 4 male characters over 50 on the show. So as long as neither of them leaves, the chances are next to nothing that Bell will ever put a new guy Brooke's age on contract or bring back any of her other exes for more than a guest appearance.

Now that’s the story I want. How about hiring temp actors to date. Only the experienced and highly successful actors want long-term contracts but there are people out there, who are gorgeous and have beautiful voices and demeanor, who would make great temporary actors for them to date.

"Smoking" it was tired and old, no apology from Ridge, Ridge acts as he did nothing wrong, and Brooke's behavior awful, I missed you, really Brooke.

I respect your opinion but I despise Ridge. I think whether they reunite or not, the apology is coming, and it will probably be huge.

It would not have been so interesting if they had kissed actually. People fighting their attraction is always more interesting than just kissing from nowhere. And it is hot only for Bridge fans. I saw Brooke in her seductive mode and if Ridge had insisted, she wouldn’t have resisted.

I agree, and it´s the same with Hope and Tom...what makes this (maybe) couple interesting ist that she´s obviously attracted to him but fights it...and he does nothing to encourage her though he is certainly still attracted to her. This is what makes a love story interesting, it´s only a pity that especially Tom is loaded with so much baggage of lying, manipulating and obsessing that it´s difficult to invest in a Thope love story.
(I am not sure if I broke any rules by comparing the Bridge couple to a maybe Thope couple though the OP is about Bridge only?)

Huh? The whole point of the thread is that the OP isn't a Bridge fan but still thought those scenes were hot despite her dislike of Ridge as a character.

Sorry, but Ridge was doing everything short of throwing her over his shoulders to get to her in her bed. Brooke is the one who slammed the brakes on him and refused his seduction. He deserved Brooke getting him all hot and bothered and sending him home to a cold shower. I can't wait until he finds out that Brooke is probably going on a second date that was set up by the snake. Knowing Ridge that is when he will throw her over his shoulder.

Thank you. It's always great to see when someone who usually wants Brooke far away from Ridge can still acknowledge the actors' chemistry.

There was a different spark to them, much steamier then in the past. I think the year apart has helped their chemistry. I want them together. Or at least I want him to woo her, beg her, and do everything he can to get her back and to make up for that he and his psychotic family did to her all last year.

Yep. It’s time for Bell to right the wrong! Given all the evil the Hamilton gang did last year. And please soap gods..end this most ridiculous BFF garbage! I absolutely cannot stand how Brooke allowed that snake Taylor talked her into being okay with monster Thomas working with Hope again. :grrr

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.

don't forget the haircut. He's looking so rough these days. I understand why they dress Brooke so badly. if they dressed her the way KKL dresses she would make Ridge look 20 - 25 years older.

I (being the cynic I have been about Bridge and the way they've been) did actually watch Friday to see how things would go.
These 2 episodes together don't make up in any way for the way Brooke has been treated since December 2021 but I will say these 2 episodes gave us TK and KKL being organic and real with one another. You could feel the actual love and regret between these two people. And Ridge actually said it out loud. Brooke while quite tempted did the right thing for herself.
I have a sneaking suspicion where they may go with this. But I did actually enjoy KKL and TK the past 2 days.
