‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers: Ridge Proposes A Plan, Steffy Pressures Thomas

What’s coming up next on The Bold and the Beautiful? Spoilers indicate that there is a lot more yet to come on the Ridge and Caroline situation, seemingly with some surprises in store for viewers. Ridge now knows about the night Caroline and Thomas were together and the fact that she is pregnant, but his plan for moving forward will bring some twists and turns.

During Monday’s show, Ridge and Caroline had an emotional discussion about her having slept with Thomas. At the end of the episode, Caroline blurted out that Thomas is the father of her baby, and Ridge was left stunned. Ridge sunk to the floor with the realization of what Caroline revealed, and viewers are anxious to see what comes next.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers indicate that fans will see just how Ridge reacts now during Tuesday’s episode. He will talk about how Caroline needed a friend the night she and Ridge had split, but Thomas provided much more than that. Ridge and Thomas have already been having issues, and this is going to add another deep fracture to the relationship.

As Ridge and Caroline discuss the situation, She Knows Soaps teases that he will determine that he wants to move ahead by keeping something secret. Just what is it he has in mind? It would seem that Ridge may propose that he and Caroline keep it a secret that he had a vasectomy and that he seemingly cannot be the father of Caroline’s baby.

Celeb Dirty Laundry details that Ridge may be looking to pass off Caroline’s baby as his own, intending to never let on to Thomas or anybody else that Thomas is surely the baby’s father over Ridge. However, fans know that there are some serious flaws with this proposed plan, if that is, indeed, where Ridge is headed.

If nothing else, there is Brooke to consider. Brooke knows that Ridge had a vasectomy and she knows that Ridge was told that he could not successfully reverse it and go on to father more children. While Brooke has been a source of support for Ridge until now, she is not likely to stand by and ignore what will be a glaring problem as Caroline’s pregnancy becomes apparent.

Elsewhere, Thomas is facing a lot of pressure from Steffy to straighten out his life. She has been lecturing him about his choices of late, but she only knows a portion of what he has been doing. Thomas will talk about trying to work things out with his father, but Bold and Beautiful spoilers indicate that Ridge is about to get even tougher with his son in the wake of what happened with Caroline.

Ivy approached Eric for some help on Monday’s episode, and there is more to come on that front during Tuesday’s episode, as well. The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers indicate that ultimately she will detail much of what happened the night Aly died, though perhaps not quite everything, and it seems she may manage to sway Eric to step in and help her with Steffy. Later in the week, Eric will make a move to diffuse the tension between Ivy and Steffy.

Will viewers see Ridge work to convince Caroline to keep the baby’s paternity a secret? How far will they go with this plan before it blows up on them, as it surely will at some point? How far will Ridge go in pushing back against Thomas for sleeping with Caroline? There is plenty more drama ahead as this all plays out in the coming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful.
