As a seasoned gamer of daytime dramas, I’ve seen my fair share of broken hearts and twisted plots. This latest turn in Taylor’s storyline has got me hooked, though not in a good way, if you catch my drift.
After Taylor received a second evaluation on “The Bold and the Beautiful“, we now have a more defined understanding of the situation. In last Thursday’s episode (October 3rd), after completing the necessary tests, Dr. Grace Buckingham informed Taylor that she doesn’t suffer from heart failure. Instead, Taylor is experiencing Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as broken heart syndrome. Indeed, it’s a genuine medical condition.
In everyday terms, you might come across the term “broken heart syndrome” when someone unexpectedly passes away following the loss of a loved one. Those who knew them may express that their heart simply couldn’t take the sorrow. However, contrary to common perception, this phrase isn’t just an explanation for sudden deaths with no other known causes; it refers to a genuine medical condition, which can be treated.
The good news here is that Taylor isn’t dying. What she’s experiencing is heartache so severe that it’s mimicking heart attacks. Medication and reducing stress, or anything that might trigger an episode, will help her get better. There isn’t exactly a cure for broken heart syndrome but people do recover from it. The question is whether or not the soap is going to lean into the rare complications that can stem from this condition to expand the story. According to the Cleveland Clinic, these complications are as follows:
- Blockage of the blood flow from your left ventricle
- Pulmonary edema
- Rupture of the left ventricle of your heart
- Heart failure
- Blood clot in the wall of your left ventricle
- Hypotension (low blood pressure)
- Abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
- Cardiogenic shock
- Heart block
- Death
I mention this point because it seems quite evident, unless new information arises, that Ridge is the one who shattered Taylor’s heart. You may recall that she had reopened her heart to him during their time in Aspen, when he swore to her that he didn’t want to be with her merely due to something Brooke did. He even chased Taylor up a mountain to demonstrate his sincerity about restarting their relationship.
Initially, Ridge planned to marry Taylor, but on their wedding day, a shocking revelation emerged: he had been deceiving her. It turned out that he had abandoned Brooke, believing she had reported Thomas to Child Protective Services. However, it was actually Thomas who made the call, using a voice imitator of his son. When Ridge discovered the truth, he couldn’t proceed with the wedding and shattered Taylor’s heart.
Following that decision, he took some time to figure out his future plans, but upon returning to Los Angeles, Ridge found that Braylor had chosen not to be with him. Over time, their agreement fell apart and Ridge rekindled his relationship with Brooke. It’s plausible that this plotline has come full circle, causing trouble again.
It’s quite coincidental since Bridge has been involved for some time now. Taylor inquired about it from Ridge, who mentioned they’ve discussed it but it’s not a priority on their agenda. This conversation suggested to me that he doesn’t feel remarrying Brooke is essential. Red flags were raised during the scene in September, and they went off again in this episode when Katie told Bill she can’t be with him because she’s his one true love only when Brooke isn’t around.
It turns out that Brooke was the one who unexpectedly met up with Bill following Katie’s departure. During their conversation, Bill shared information that he had received from his sister. This encounter occurred right after Brooke inquired about Carter’s relationship with Katie, hoping to determine if Batie (the hypothetical couple formed by Bill and Katie) might reunite.
From a devoted fan perspective, I can’t help but wonder if Brooke isn’t pursuing romantic interests in Bill. It’s intriguing, given that Taylor has been diagnosed with broken heart syndrome, following Ridge’s vow to stand by her. And now, the possibility of ‘Brill’ is surfacing on The Bold and the Beautiful, which certainly adds an interesting twist to the storyline.
Katie accurately pointed out that Bill tends to seek another chance with her whenever his romantic endeavors fail. Since Brooke isn’t interested in him, Katie serves as a comfort. Even though Poppy didn’t meet his expectations, Katie remains a constant. However, it’s important to note that she won’t replace the person he truly desires. If the storyline develops and Bill becomes available when Brooke is single again, it could potentially support their reunion.
It seems as though Brooke remains single despite the circumstances. If Ridge is so deeply involved with Taylor, helping her heal from a broken heart, he might unintentionally strain his connection with Brooke, who he considers his destiny. Alternatively, if they manage to stay together, Ridge may hide his feelings for Brooke around Taylor to avoid upsetting her emotional state. This leaves Brooke feeling neglected and yearning for affection, which she often seeks in past relationships. More often than not, this leads to an impulsive kiss that complicates or even ends their relationship altogether.
