Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, a mystery woman greets Ridge in the CEO’s office — but who is she?
The women in Ridge’s life on The Bold and the Beautiful

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) has met his fair share of women over the years. From working with models, to “his Logan,” he’s never needed to wait long for the attentions of a female.
These past few months have been tumultuous for Ridge, with his family company, Forrester Creations, being the subject of a coup, taken over by Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). During the chaos, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) took Ridge’s position at the company as CEO. Though she thought she was helping, he was hurt that she seemed to take a public stand against him. Couple that with her defending Hope to him one too many times, and Ridge left her.
Of course, he wasn’t alone for long. As he often does, Ridge quickly reunited with his ex, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), knowing it would hurt Brooke. Since then, Ridge claimed to be done with the back and forth between Brooke and Taylor, and the drama and hurt that inevitably happens. He said he decided he was committed to Taylor, and there would be no more leaving. So who’s the blonde?
Another woman with Ridge

Next week, Ridge is visited by a mysterious blonde woman in his CEO’s office at Forrester Creations. It looks like Ridge is happily surprised to see her, and gives her a warm, affectionate welcome, holding hands as they talk.
Who could she be? Well, we know who she’s not. Does she have an opinion on Brooke — or Taylor? Is she another Forrester looking to support the family biz after the drama? Was she at the fashion show and waited til it was over to talk to Ridge?
Ridge’s dad, Eric (John McCook), seemed adamant that Brooke is Ridge’s person. He went the underhanded route to team up with Brooke and her sisters, Donna (Jennifer Gareis) and Katie (Heather Tom), to surprise Ridge in a showstopper wedding gown — one that looked awfully similar to the dress she wore sailing in to port at Ridge and Brooke’s Italian wedding in Portofino.
Is the mystery woman Ridge is so happy to see part of Eric’s plan to remind Ridge that he is destined to be with Brooke? Or is there another story here?
