On The Bold and the Beautiful, on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, Ridge arrived at the Cliff House for Thanksgiving. He wanted to celebrate the holiday with his family despite being married to Brooke.

Key Takeaways

• Steffy and Taylor started cooking Thanksgiving dinner.
• Ridge showed up, surprising everyone.
• He hung out with Finn and the kids in the kitchen.
• It didn’t take Ridge long to pay Taylor compliments.

Thanksgiving With the Forresters

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) hosted Thanksgiving dinner at the Cliff House. They started cooking in the kitchen with Taylor (Rebecca Budig), Kelly (Sophia Paras McKinlay), and Hayes (Bryan David Garlick).

Taylor loved the idea of wearing matching aprons, which was Kelly’s idea. Meanwhile, they’re cooking the greatest feasts to beat all feasts. Kelly wanted to make sure everything tasted delicious.

Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) showed up with a bouquet in hand. The kids were thrilled to see him and asked if he was staying. He assured them that he was spending Thanksgiving with his family as he gave the flowers to Taylor.

Giving Thanks

It’s a time to be thankful. The Forresters went through a lot with their fashion house and with Luna (Lisa Yamada). They got their company back, and Luna has been declared dead. She got hit by a car while she approached a moving vehicle.

The Forresters gathered around the table and shared what they were thankful for. Steffy was emotional because of all they went through and overcame. But she was particularly surprised to see her dad at the dinner table. She didn’t expect this to happen.

Why is Ridge There?

It turned out that Ridge was the surprise guest. Sorry, B&B viewers, but it wasn’t Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) who showed up to dinner. Ridge didn’t celebrate the holiday with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) but rather with his ex-wife, Taylor, and their family.

He said he considered them family. Not the Logans. Arguably, Ridge did say he had a Thanksgiving lunch with Eric (John McCook), Donna (Jennifer Gareis), and Brooke, but he still had room for more food.

He also had room in his heart for another woman. Once again, Ridge toyed with Taylor’s feelings. It didn’t take long for him to feed her compliments.

Does Ridge Want Taylor Back?

He also said there was no other place he’d rather be than with his ex-wife. He’s giving mixed messages again, which is confusing for Steffy and Taylor. Steffy looked at her parents with a big smile on her face.

She knew that her dad still loved Taylor. Does this mean that Ridge will spend Christmas with Brooke? Earlier this year, she claimed that she would have Ridge back by the holidays. But it’s not looking too good for the couple.
