Liam’s tendency to bounce between the two women has made for compelling television over the last decade.
Ridge didn’t know of Sheila’s part in this, which led to Ridge seeking comfort in Taylor.
Nothing major happened between the two until Hope posted a photo with herself, Brooke, and Deacon.

The picture infuriated Ridge, causing him to retaliate by kissing Taylor in Monaco (viaCelebrity Dirty Laundry).
The kiss betweenTaylor and Ridgewas a devastating blow to his future with Brooke.
Brooke’s reaction to the truth will be the deciding factor in their fate.

It would be an understatement to say that fan reaction to the kiss is all over the place.
One viewerwrote, “Brooke has no right to be upset or angry with him.
After everything she has put him through.”
Another fansaid, “I’m so happy he was HONEST right away!!
So, there’s really nothing for Brooke to be mad about!!
Unlike her who lied and kept quiet about so much other stuff!!”
Still, despite the backlash against Brooke, many viewers find themselves firmly against Ridge.
One disgruntled viewertweeted, “Nothing to be mad about?
He initiated a kiss with his ex while sober.
At least Brooke was under the influence.”
Ridge’s behavior toward Brooke was also a mitigating factor for some fans, with onewriting, “Finally.
Now can y’all split them up.
Tired of these two, specifically Ridge and his controlling ways.”
