Bold and Beautiful Early Spoilers May 18-22: Ridge Under Heavy Fire & Bill Explodes in Rage!

Bold and the Beautiful early weekly spoilers for May 18th – 22nd deliver Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) getting blasted by two different women in his life when things go badly and he is stuck between them. Plus, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is ranting about Forrester drama affecting his Spencer family and Logan.

And as we always do on early edition day, we’re going to start with what is happening the rest of this week and then we get into what is going on next week. So, let’s dive right in.

Wednesday, May 13th on Bold and the Beautiful

On Wednesday, May 13th. We are going to pick right back up from Tuesday with Ridge Forrester standing there like an idiot and he can’t even work up the nerve to ask Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) to step aside as Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) demanded that he do. Thanks to his silence and the weird look on his face, Steffy’s going to figure out what Ridge wants. And Steffy is going to know immediately Brooke asked for this.

Obviously, this idea didn’t just pop into Ridge’s head on his own. Steffy understandably tells Ridge that yes, Brooke has earned her place at Forrester Creations. However, Steffy’s going to make it clear Brooke is not going to get her job. And Steffy tells Ridge, “Tell me you understand this.”

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ridge Has Dobuts

After Steffy’s salty reaction to Brooke’s demand, delivered very limply by Ridge, he starts having doubts. I am certain that Steffy knows this is more about Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) than it is about Brooke. And she may tell Ridge that Brooke is pushing to take her job. Because Hope for the Future was shelved. I would expect Steffy to tell her dad he is being manipulated by Logans.

Ridge should have doubts about what Brooke asked for. Not only because she asked for it out of the blue, but the way she did it, especially because she brought up Bill giving Steffy the shares and said they were for sex. Just as a quick fact check, it wasn’t for sex. It was a wedding gift back when Bill was trying really hard to marry Steffy. That was when Steffy was upset about the whole I think it was the Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and Sally thing and she left and went to stay in the Forrester guest house. Bill was there.

The sex happened one time and it was months and months before he gave Steffy the shares after Bill was trying to trick Liam into thinking they were together and he wanted to marry her. All this and that also, you know, was fresh off Brooke sexing Ridge to get that job. So that was her approach, calling out Steffy for her sexuality and then Brooke using her sexuality to try to get a job. So ironic at the minimum.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Steffy Stays

I suspect Steffy is going to give Ridge some food for thought about Brooke’s real motives. But Ridge may also clap back at Steffy that if she had handled Hope with more sensitivity, then it might not have gotten to the point where Brooke pushed and made this power play. Meanwhile, back at the Logan estate, Hope and Brooke are confident it is a done deal and that she will be co-CEO and Hope will get her line back.

Bottom line, Ridge does not have the power to oust Steffy, and he’s going to have to shuffle back home and tell Brooke that Steffy said no. And you know, she’s not going to take it well. I do wonder if Hope will still be lurking around the house scheming with Brooke when Ridge gets home. I mean, if we’re being honest, Brooke, Steffy, and Hope are all acting badly, and Ridge is too much of a wuss to take a stand in any direction on Bold and the Beautiful.

Thursday, May 14th

Thursday, May 14th, at Forrester Creations, Miss Ivy Forrester‘s offer of a new position is formalized and she accepts the job. She is lucky to have landed a gig as Daphne Rose‘s (Murielle Hilaire) assistant on the fragrance line. Hopefully Ivy’s going to get a raise, too. Because she’s out on her own and paying all those bills.

And I suspect she tells Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) this exciting news. Because this week we’ve got Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) peeking through the door into the design office and he looks stunned as he sees Ivy and Electra happily hugging. So I feel like Ivy tells her about the new job and Electra is really happy for her.

And this bonding moment could trigger more threats from Remy because now that he sees Ivy and Electra are back as besties, Remy knows he can threaten to tell Electra their cousins, knowing that’ll ruin their friendship once and for all. So, I think Remy’s going to push her to go work on Dee ASAP.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Brooke’s Power Grab

Brooke’s power grab at Forrester Creations has Bill and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) quite concerned. And I’m sure that Liam is gonna tell them what Hope told him that Brooke is making a move to be co-CEO and Hope is sure that she will get it and restore Hope for the Future. Despite warnings from Donna, it is clear that Katie’s pretty hyped up to bring Hope over to Logan.

And as she pointed out to Donna, she didn’t lure Eric Forrester (John McCook) and she’s not luring Hope. Technically, Liam’s doing it. I expect Bill does some ranting, but he may also remind Liam and Katie that thanks to the shares he gave Steffy, he knows that Ridge doesn’t have the power to kick her out of her job.

Friday, May 15th

Friday, May 15th, Zende Forrester‘s (Delon de Metz) frustrations boil over. He vents to Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) that he designed an entire collection for Hope for the Future that will never see the light of day. I’m curious to see what Carter says and if he’s heard about Brooke’s power play for Steffy’s job or not at that point because remember Brooke demanded that Ridge not check in with Carter at all.

Also, Brooke has faith that Ridge will make the right decision and Brooke thinks what’s right is that he sides with her against his daughter Steffy. I do expect more of Ridge just shrugging and staring because he doesn’t want to deal with any of this. Bottom line though, he doesn’t own enough of Forrester Creations to force this change that Brooke wants.

Week of May 18th-22nd

Then we go into the week of May 18th through the 22nd. And by the way, May Sweeps ends on Wednesday, May 20th. So I expect big action as the week kicks off and it’ll probably taper out as the week goes on. Brooke’s not going to stop until she gets what she wants. And if she even considers backing down, you know, Hope is going to turn up and pressure her mom. I wouldn’t be surprised if Brooke goes over to see Eric to ask him to help get rid of Steffy and give her the job. I do wonder if Donna is going to give Brooke the same warning she gave Katie. Don’t tear the family apart over business.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ivy’s Stuck

I expect Steffy to read Hope the riot act and for Steffy to tell Hope she knows she is the one pushing Brooke to try and steal her job. Because she’s salty about her line being shelved. Donna is a bundle of nerves because she knows things are going to get ugly when Brooke finds out Katie is hoping that Hope would come over to work at Logan. Plus, Katie and Bill are no doubt team Steffy in this. Because it’s better for them if Hope’s line at Forrester Creations stays on the shelf and then Liam convinces her to join them over at Logan.

Plus, we’re going to see that Ivy has absolutely no choice. She is going to have to go over and see Dee and talk to him about Remy. Now, I do think that he’s going to keep threatening his cousin Ivy unless and until Dee takes him back, which is insane because it’s Remy’s bad behavior that caused the split. But that just tells you despite what he says, Remy hasn’t changed. Plus, Zende’s close to snapping and continues to be on edge and frustrated.
