Brooke’s usually on point feminine wiles haven’t been wiling with Ridge, and there’s more upsetting news on the way for the blonde bedroom queen. In fact, Bold & Beautiful fans can expect to see her hit bottom this week… ahead of a more promising turn of fortune occurs that’s sure to pull her out of the depths of despair.

Not only has Brooke lost Ridge to her nemesis, Taylor, for the time being, but spoilers hint that she’ll soon feel deserted by the only other inhabitants of her estate: Hope and Beth. Bold & Beautiful teasers reveal that Brooke will break down and leaving her daughter to attempt to comfort her. The reason? She feels lost as she’s “now without Ridge, Hope and Beth”.

Despite Hope’s engagement to Carter, we honestly never thought we’d see the day she would up sticks and move out of that cozy-kinda-creepy-cabin on Brooke’s property. But it appears to be happening. Who knew Carter had a second bedroom for a kid in that swanky bachelor pad loft?! We hope he has a third bedroom, because he might need it if this looming mega-twist goes down.

In the wake of this announcement, however, reality crashes in on Brooke, who historically does not do well with being alone. She’s jumped from one man to another, and in and out of entanglements since we can remember. The one exception was the time she and Taylor teamed up to swear off Ridge, but, alas, Brooke didn’t hold out for long then either.

With an obstinate Ridge vowing to stand by Taylor and be a “better man” even in the face of Brooke’s rather intense pressure to “come home” applied during office hours, she’s without a love interest for the first time in many, many moons. It might have been bearable with Hope around to listen to her drone on about “destiny”, but her daughter’s heading for the hills too.

Of course, Bold & Beautiful fans know that an exciting new/old prospect for Brooke is coming just around the corner. Her ex-husband, who also was married to her daughter Bridget once upon a time, is set to return to the canvas. The swoony sea captain is just the man to throw the blonde, drowning in sorrow, a life-preserver to pull her up from rock bottom.

When will it all go down? Nick’s first appearance was initially set for Friday, June 13, but due to a pre-emption a couple of weeks back pushing scheduling, it may now be Monday, June 16… But wait, Brooke’s not the only character that could get emotional over his comeback.
