He was determined to create a permanent wedge between the love of his life and Ridge.
However, Bill had other plans.

Ridge was presumed dead following Bill’s heinous actions.
He’s never too far removed and poses a constant threat.
However, Ridge’s marriage is again on the rocks, thanks toBrooke and Deacon’s affair.
