Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) had to swallow her pride and go to Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), and Hope (Annika Noelle) and convince them to hire her back at Forrester Creations.

Although she had the experience, Hope was convinced that Steffy couldn’t be trusted and was only coming back for revenge. On Friday, Hope isn’t happy that Steffy’s back. She’s not over what happened before, and wants to remind Steffy that things have changed at Forrester, especially who is in charge. Will Steffy pass Hope’s test and keep her temper in check?

Reunited and it feels so fast

Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) were instantly an item by the time Ridge and Brooke broke up. Ridge wasted no time sweeping Taylor off of her feet and into his bed. Since their reunion, there’s been a flurry of activity regarding Forrester Creations, Steffy’s plan to get it back, and the introduction of Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire).

Ridge is proud of Steffy and knows if anyone can channel his late mother Stephanie’s (Susan Flannery) penchant for revenge, it’s her namesake, Steffy. But Ridge also knows he laid it on thick with Taylor. He even suggested they get back to the beach house and move in together. Is he still feeling the same way, or has the novelty worn off already? And is Taylor ready to make such a bold move?

Brooke isn’t giving up just yet

Brooke was devastated when her sister Donna (Jennifer Gareis) called to tell her that she was witnessing Taylor and the Ridge get back together. Donna had come home early when Ridge was wining and dining Taylor in the living room and heard him ask her to move in together. Naturally, she called her sister to give her a play by play and tell her that Ridge had led Taylor by the hand up the stairs to his bedroom.

However dire it may look, Brooke still loves Ridge. Brooke had admitted to Carter and Hope that if they rehired Steffy, it might convince Ridge to come back as well, and as Hope pointed out, Brooke wanted Ridge back.

Brooke is upset that Ridge ran straight to Taylor, but she also believed Taylor wasn’t only back in L.A. to try to steal him. Now that she had, Broke has some things to say about it. On Friday, Brooke and Taylor face off.
