Bold and the Beautiful: What’s Next for Dumped Taylor Hayes?

August 2, 2025 – Taylor Hayes has once again found herself at a crossroads on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” After yet another failed reunion attempt with Ridge Forrester, fans are left wondering what lies ahead for the beloved psychiatrist and matriarch. Is this the end of the road for Taylor in the world of romance—or is a powerful comeback just around the corner?

In recent episodes, viewers watched as Taylor (played by Krista Allen) was quietly sidelined when Ridge once again chose Brooke Logan. The Ridge-Brooke-Taylor love triangle has fueled decades of storylines, but this latest fallout feels different. For once, Taylor isn’t just stepping aside—she’s stepping away. And now fans are asking: What’s next?

A Heartbreaking but Familiar Pattern
Taylor and Ridge’s on-again, off-again relationship is one of The Bold and the Beautiful’s most iconic sagas. From tragic separations to passionate reunions, their love story has seen everything—except a lasting happy ending. The latest rejection from Ridge has cut deeper than usual, leaving Taylor questioning not just her relationship status, but her entire sense of identity.

In a poignant recent episode, Taylor confronted Ridge in a raw, emotional scene:
“You don’t choose me, Ridge. You never truly do.”
The moment felt final—at least for now.

Reclaiming Her Independence?
With Ridge back in Brooke’s orbit, the show now has a fresh opportunity to evolve Taylor’s character beyond romantic drama. Many fans and critics alike have long expressed frustration that a woman of Taylor’s intelligence, strength, and compassion is too often reduced to “Ridge’s fallback.”

This could be the perfect moment for Taylor to reclaim her independence. A return to her professional roots as a world-renowned psychiatrist may give her purpose again. Viewers have already seen hints of this shift—Taylor recently accepted a speaking engagement in Geneva and has discussed returning to international humanitarian work.

Could this mean a temporary departure from Los Angeles? Or might the writers use this storyline to reintroduce global elements to Taylor’s character, giving her the platform she deserves?

A New Love Interest on the Horizon?
Despite the heartbreak, many viewers aren’t giving up on Taylor’s romantic future. In fact, some are rooting for an entirely new love interest—someone outside the Forrester/Logan vortex.

Speculation is growing that Taylor might be paired with a new or returning character. One name that keeps surfacing is Deacon Sharpe. Their brief but intense connection years ago was never fully explored. With Deacon now distancing himself from Sheila and carving out a more stable life, could Taylor and Deacon cross paths again?

Alternatively, a completely new character could enter the canvas to finally offer Taylor the kind of healthy, respectful relationship she’s never truly had on the show.

Family First: A Shift Toward Motherhood and Legacy
Romance aside, Taylor’s next chapter may focus on her children and legacy. Her relationship with Steffy has deepened significantly, especially in light of recent family crises. Taylor may now choose to focus on being a guiding force in Steffy’s life—especially as Steffy faces mounting pressure from Sheila and ongoing trouble in her marriage with Finn.

There’s also room for Taylor to grow her relationship with Thomas. Though he’s turned over a new leaf, he still struggles with trust from others. Taylor could be the steady influence who finally helps him maintain emotional stability and professional success.
