Bold & Beautiful Preview: Brooke Fears Ridge Will Leave Her Should He Learn the Truth — and Steffy and Thomas Continue to Try and Reunite Their Parents
Sunday, January 16th, 2022
Even grown adults sometimes still wish for their divorced parents to reunite.
In the latest The Bold and the Beautiful preview for the week of January 17 – 21, Ridge has no idea of the trouble brewing around him. Read on for the scoop and watch the teaser video.
After attending an AA meeting, Brooke realized she could never let herself be caught in the same situation again with Deacon that somehow led to her drinking. Meanwhile, Hope warned Taylor and Steffy not to use her mother’s relapse as a way to try and break up Brooke and Ridge. However that’s exactly what Steffy wanted to do, and she pushed her mother to fight for their family.
Steffy and Thomas went to their father to double-team him, warning him that Brooke inviting Deacon into his home was a slap in the face. In the latest preview, Ridge insists to his children that Brooke is his wife and nothing with change that. However Steffy and Thomas don’t see things that way, and neither does Sheila, who is still trying to figure out exactly what happened on New Year’s Eve.

As Ridge remains proud of Brooke for owning her mistake and coming clean, he unknowingly lays on the guilt. Ridge tells her that her honesty makes him want to be a better person for her! If Ridge only knew…
To compound Brooke’s guilty conscience and issues, Deacon confronts Brooke and tells her that he loves her, he never stopped, and he can’t get their kiss out of his head. She reminds him that he is to never come to the house again, and fears if Ridge ever finds out what they did then he’ll leave her. That’s probably a safe bet given their history.

6/54
<p>… as Steffy Forrester, fashion magnate, devoted wife, corporate exec, loving mother and all-around badass.</p>
Image: CBS
7/54
<p>… this time striking the kind of power pose that we assume Steffy uses to let everyone at Forrester Creations know that she means business — and not the funny kinda business that’s usually going on around those offices, either!</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS (3)
8/54
<p>… breaking out a variety pack of expressions, ranging from Steffy’s “We’re one big, happy family” smile to her “C’mon, Finn, it’s bedtime” look.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
9/54
<p>… giving the illusion that Steffy’s just stepped off the cover of a romance novel. Or <em>is</em> it an illusion? We’d buy that book.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
10/54
<p>… because a single shot in that gorgeous outfit was most definitely not enough.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
11/54
<p>… as Taylor Hayes, the <span style="text-decoration: line-through">only</span> best shrink in town… perhaps because she’s been known to wig out herself now and then.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
12/54
<p>… this time working the countenance that Taylor perfected to say, “I’m not scared of you, Brooke. Were <em>you</em> princess of Morocco? ’Cause <em>I</em> was!”</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
13/54
<p>… helping Taylor remind occasional husband Ridge Forrester that they’ve been known to get, ahem, horizontal.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
14/54
<p>… scoring 10s across the board for Taylor in the “businesslike realness” category.</p>

15/54
<p>… the rare rich, handsome heir to a dynasty whose last date was with a mannequin.</p>

Image: CBS
19/54
<p>… turning Liam’s other cheek, which it turns out is as scruffy and chiseled as the first one.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS (2)
20/54
<p>… stopping off to take a coupla pictures on Liam’s way to… Hmm. We’re gonna guess… a polo match?</p>

<p>… demonstrating both how Liam puts on a jacket and how handsome he is while doing so.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS

<p>… as Hope Logan, the eternal optimist whose long history of heartbreaking tragedies has somehow never managed to diminish her — wait for it — hope for the future.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
23/54
<p>… giving side-eye as best a character as sweet as Hope can.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
24/54
<p>… this time breaking out the “Could <em>you</em> lie to this face?” expression to which — sigh — so many of Hope’s loved ones have answered yes. </p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
25/54
<p>… modeling a print that’s so floral, it suggests that Hope would’ve made an excellent flower child.</p>
Image: CBS
26/54
<p>… as Bill Spencer, a second-generation publishing tycoon who’s always got one eye on fashion and the other on whatever knockout is wearing the latest in haute couture.</p>
Image: CBS

<p>… as Katie Logan, the ex that Bill just can’t bring himself to admit isn’t so much the one that got away as the one he pushed away.</p>
Image: CBS
28/54
<p>… as Wyatt, the Spencer heir whose wit is as sharp as the sword on the necklace that all the men in his family wear.</p>
Image: CBS
29/54
<p>… modeling one of Wyatt’s suit-and-tie combos so casually that we’d believe he just leapt off the cover of <em>GQ</em>.</p>
Image: CBS
30/54
<p>… as Shauna Fulton, the Vegas transplant you can always bet on to stir the pot.</p>
Image: CBS
31/54
<p>… working this come-hither look that made Ridge Forrester putty in Shauna’s hands.</p>
Image: CBS
32/54
<p>… as Ridge Forrester, the dashing designer whose interest in women’s clothes has often been more about getting them out of ’em than dreaming up new dresses.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
33/54
<p>… revealing the trademark come-hither look that Ridge uses to get all those women out of their frocks. Quick, look away! Look awa… Oh. Too late.</p>
Image: CBS
34/54
<p>… as Brooke Logan, the passion’s plaything driven by her belief that Ridge is her destiny. Or maybe it’s Bill. Is it Deacon this week? What about… You know what? Never mind.</p>
Image: CBS
35/54
<p>… in this image painting on the smile that Brooke uses when she really, <em>really</em> doesn’t want anyone to think that anything is less than both hunky <em>and</em> dory.</p>
Image: CBS
36/54
<p>… in this instance trying out the sorta serious expression that Brooke might use to argue that her portrait should replace the late, great Stephanie’s on the Forrester mansion’s mantel.</p>
Image: CBS
37/54
<p>… here epitomizing the California girl that she and her character are — and that David Lee Roth made extra famous in his ’80s cover of the Beach Boys.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
38/54
<p>… revealing the shoulder Brooke turns cold anytime Taylor or Sheila is around.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS

<p>… flashing the beatific smile that Brooke only sports when she’s dreaming of her “destiny.”</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
40/54
<p>… looking gorgeous beyond BeLieF. (Longtime fans will get that one.)</p>
Image: CBS
41/54
<p>… as Zende, the Forrester heir whose bedroom eyes never fail to make it hard to buy that he’s a one-woman man.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
42/54

Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
43/54
<p>… as Paris Buckingham, the enchantress whose affect on men Jabot Cosmetics should really look into bottling.</p>
Image: Bell-Phillip Television Productions, Inc.
44/54
<p>… as Carter Walton, the world’s hottest wedding officiant… who just wants a wife to call his own. Is that too much to ask?</p>
Image: CBS
45/54
<p>… as Quinn Forrester, a jewelry designer whose exterior can seem — but <em>only</em> seem — as hard as the gems with which she works.</p>
Image: CBS
46/54
<p>… teeing up the wide-eyed, innocent look that Quinn wields so well anytime one of her schemes blows up in her face. (And they always do.)</p>
Image: CBS
47/54
<p>… as Eric Forrester, the silver fox who didn’t just earn a reputation as a player over his lifetime, he invented the game.</p>
Image: CBS
48/54
<p>… looking so confident, Eric could almost make us buy that, despite his many missteps, Father really <em>does</em> know best.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
49/54
<p>Right? ’Cause Steffy, Thomas and Taylor don’t really consider a family photo complete without him in it.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
50/54
<p>Taylor and Thomas have moved past the fact that she missed his fake wedding to Zoe Buckingham, his tumble into a vat of acid, his deep and meaningful romance with a mannequin and, while we’re on the subject, his brain surgery.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
51/54
<p>They say that those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Apparently, they don’t say that to these two, though.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
52/54
<p>Oh, if only that were the case. But Hope’s Daddy Dearest is a serial conniver with a rap sheet that’s longer than a ballgown’s train.</p>
Image: Gilles Toucas/CBS
53/54
<p>… what does that make four?</p>
