As the new year rolls in, it’s the perfect time for self-reflection and growth—something Ridge Forrester (played by Thorsten Kaye) desperately needs in 2025. He’s been at the center of countless dramatic twists on The Bold and the Beautiful, but now it’s time for him to take accountability and make some much-needed changes. Here’s what Ridge should focus on in the new year:
1. Take Back Forrester Creations
The first order of business? Ridge needs to reclaim control of Forrester Creations. After stepping down to focus on his design work, he handed the reins over to Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), but it’s time to change course. Ridge owes it to his family, his legacy, and the company that bears their name to step back up.
Though it might seem like a tough battle, Ridge has always been a fighter. It won’t be easy—Carter’s now entrenched in the CEO role, and Justin (Aaron D. Spears) has already resigned himself to this new reality. But Ridge and his father Eric (John McCook) aren’t the types to let things slide. With the right legal strategy and a little perseverance, Ridge can find a way to restore the Forresters to their rightful place at the helm of their family’s empire.
2. End the Logan-Forrester Feud
Ridge may have been the one to predict the start of the Logan-Forrester feud, but he’s also the one who unintentionally fanned the flames. What started as a clash between his two great loves—Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig)—has escalated into a feud that’s been passed down through the generations, affecting his children and the entire family dynamic.
If Ridge wants to bring peace to the Forrester clan, it’s time for him to take responsibility for the rift he created. By mending ties with the Logans and putting the past behind them, Ridge can finally break the cycle of animosity and restore harmony to both families. Viewers have been waiting for this chapter to close, and Ridge can be the one to lead the way toward a fresh start.
3. Put an End to the Waffling
If there’s one thing that’s defined Ridge’s love life, it’s his indecision. Whether it’s Taylor or Brooke, Ridge’s heart has always seemed to be torn between the two women. But in 2025, it’s time for him to stop waffling and make a choice once and for all. This constant back-and-forth has caused endless pain for both Taylor and Brooke, and it’s time for Ridge to face the consequences of his actions.
No more empty promises or leading anyone on—Ridge needs to do some serious soul-searching and decide who he truly loves. His family, his future, and his own happiness depend on it. It’s time for him to end the cycle of uncertainty and take responsibility for his choices, even if it means making difficult decisions.
In 2025, Ridge Forrester has an opportunity to turn things around—both for his family and for himself. By focusing on these key resolutions, he can right the wrongs of the past and move toward a future that’s grounded in accountability, love, and legacy. Will he rise to the challenge? Only time will tell.
