TAYLOR’S DESPERATE SCHEMES BACKFIRE AS NICK SWEEPS BROOKE OFF HER FEET

The desperation is REAL, and it’s getting harder to watch!

Taylor Hayes has officially hit rock bottom in her pathetic pursuit of Ridge Forrester, and everyone can see it—especially Eric Forrester, who just delivered the reality check she desperately needed. But did she listen? Of course not!

Taylor’s Humiliating Attempt to Win Eric Over

Let’s talk about what went down at the Forrester mansion. Taylor actually thought she could waltz in and get Eric to support her delusional relationship with Ridge. Has she met Eric? The man has been Team Brooke since the beginning of time!

The scene was painful to watch. There was Taylor, practically begging Eric to take her side, to validate her relationship with Ridge. But Eric sees right through her manipulative tactics. He knows what we all know—Ridge is only with Taylor because he’s too stubborn to admit he made a mistake. And Eric wasn’t about to pretend otherwise.

What’s truly pathetic is that Taylor KNOWS this. She knows Ridge loves Brooke Logan. She knows Eric wants them together. Yet she continues this embarrassing charade, desperately clinging to a man whose heart belongs to another woman. The insecurity is written all over her face in every single scene!

Ridge’s Footprints All Over Taylor’s Failed Schemes

Here’s the thing that makes Taylor’s behavior even more cringe-worthy—she doesn’t even care that she’s Ridge’s consolation prize! As one viewer perfectly put it, “Ridge’s footprints are on her permanently, and she doesn’t even care.”

Think about it. Taylor is so desperate to lock Ridge down that she’d probably rush him to the altar tomorrow if she could. Why? Because deep down, she knows the clock is ticking. She knows that every day Ridge spends with her is just another day closer to him realizing he belongs with Brooke.

The desperation has reached new heights. She’s trying everything—manipulating Eric, attempting to turn people against Brooke, probably planning some rushed wedding before Ridge comes to his senses. It’s not love; it’s pure, unadulterated desperation, and it’s getting harder to stomach with each episode.

Meanwhile, Brooke Finally Gets the Romance She Deserves

While Taylor is busy making a fool of herself, Brooke is actually having a good time for once! Enter Nick Marone, who’s been sweeping Brooke off her feet and showing her what it’s like to be with someone who actually wants to be with her.

The contrast couldn’t be more striking. On one side, we have Taylor desperately scheming and begging for scraps of affection from a man who doesn’t love her. On the other side, we have Brooke being romanced by Nick, who’s making it crystal clear that she’s his first choice, not some consolation prize.

Nick has been turning on the charm, and honestly? It’s about time Brooke had someone appreciate her for who she is. No looking over his shoulder at another woman. No wishy-washy behavior. Just genuine interest and romance. The difference is like night and day!

Eric Stands Firm: Team Brooke All the Way

Let’s give Eric credit where credit is due. He could have thrown Taylor a bone, given her false hope, or stayed neutral. But nope! Eric made it clear where he stands, and it’s firmly on Team Brooke.

This rejection has to sting for Taylor. She thought she could manipulate the Forrester patriarch, turn him against Brooke, maybe get some validation for her sham of a relationship. Instead, she got a reality check that everyone else has been seeing for months—Ridge belongs with Brooke, and no amount of desperate scheming is going to change that.

Will Taylor’s Pathetic Behavior Finally Push Ridge Away?

At this point, you have to wonder—how much more of Taylor’s insecurity can Ridge take? Every desperate attempt to lock him down, every manipulative scheme, every pathetic plea for validation just pushes him further away. You can see it in his eyes when he looks at her. That’s not love; that’s obligation mixed with guilt.

Meanwhile, Brooke is out there living her best life with Nick, not begging anyone for anything. She’s being treated like the queen she is, while Taylor is reduced to groveling for scraps. The contrast has to be eating away at Ridge. How long before he realizes he’s with the wrong woman?

Some fans are saying Brooke should just let Ridge stay with “that useless piece of trash” and live in misery for the rest of his life. And honestly? After all his wishy-washy behavior, maybe that’s exactly what he deserves. Let him be stuck with someone who has to scheme and manipulate just to keep him around. Let him see what he’s missing while Brooke finds happiness with someone who actually appreciates her.

The Show Would Be Better Without “Trashy Taylor”

Look, I’m just going to say what many fans are thinking—the show would be so much better without Taylor’s constant desperation and manipulation. Every scene with her has become painful to watch. The insecurity, the schemes, the pathetic attempts to trap Ridge… it’s exhausting!

Taylor was particularly sickening in recent episodes, more so than ever before. Watching her try to manipulate Eric, knowing full well that he supports Brooke and Ridge’s relationship, was a new low even for her. How can anyone root for someone who’s so transparently desperate?

The truth is, Taylor knows she’s living on borrowed time. She knows Ridge doesn’t love her the way he loves Brooke. She knows everyone sees through her schemes. Yet she persists, making herself look more pathetic with each passing day.

What’s Next for This Mess?

As we move forward, all eyes are on Ridge. Will he finally wake up and see what’s right in front of him? Will Taylor’s desperate behavior finally push him over the edge? Or will he continue to let guilt and obligation keep him in this sham of a relationship?

One thing’s for certain—Nick’s presence is going to shake things up. He’s already showing Brooke what real romance looks like, and that has to be making Ridge nervous. Nothing like a little competition to make someone realize what they’re about to lose!

Taylor can continue her pathetic schemes all she wants, but at the end of the day, you can’t force someone to love you. You can’t manipulate your way into someone’s heart. And you certainly can’t build a lasting relationship on desperation and insecurity.

The clock is ticking on this farce of a relationship. Taylor may have Ridge for now, but for how long? When even Eric Forrester won’t support your relationship, maybe it’s time to face reality. But knowing Taylor, she’ll just double down on the desperation instead.

How much longer can viewers stomach watching Taylor’s pathetic display? How much longer before Ridge finally sees the truth? And will Brooke even want him back after finding happiness with Nick?
