This week’s The Bold and the Beautiful speculation attempts to answer the question: what if Ridge and Grace hooked up? Fans of the long-running CBS soap are aware that Ridge is caught — again — in a love triangle between his estranged wife, Brooke, and the mother of his children, Taylor. But fans may be tired of the old back-and-forth. What if Ridge were to get with someone completely new — and different?

[Spoiler alert: Potential spoilers for upcoming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful are ahead.]

Ridge is torn between Brooke and Taylor

After the “kiss heard ’round Los Angeles,” when Brooke and Deacon made out after a drunken night, Ridge and Brooke’s marriage fell apart. In fairness, the marriage deteriorating was a long time coming — the pair’s relationship is toxic, at best — and this was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.

But on the March 11 episode of the show, Taylor and Ridge shared a passionate kiss. However, it doesn’t seem like they will “do the nasty” quite yet. That hasn’t stopped Steffy and Thomas from rejoicing that their parents are finally back together, though.

Now, the latest The Bold and the Beautiful speculation from SoapHub suggests that Ridge might have a completely different love interest on the horizon.

But the latest ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ speculation suggests that Dr. Grace Buckingham might be a contender for his affections

While speculation continues to arise about Brooke’s potential new partner (with one possibility being none other than “Dollar Bill”), fans all agree that Brooke needs to re-evaluate her life. (And a future episode of The Bold and the Beautiful will do just that when all of the men Brooke loved before come back together to make that happen.)

As for Ridge, though, Dr. Grace Buckingham may be focused strictly on her daughter and her messy love life at the moment. But even meddling mothers-in-law need love too. And the outlet suggests that when Grace goes stomping over to Forrester Creations to rat out her presumptive son-in-law, Carter, she gets a strange rush of emotions when she encounters his boss, Ridge.

How would this even work?

“We can just see it now,” reports the outlet. “Grace goes to Ridge in order to rat out Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) for having another affair with one of his friend’s flames. But, it doesn’t go the way Grace wants. Instead of joining her fury, Ridge talks her down gently and helps her see why she needs to back off.”

This bit of The Bold and the Beautiful speculation suggests that the pair build their relationship from there. It will be a nice departure to see Grace (and Ridge!) with someone completely different than fans are used to seeing them with. And the soap could use a bit of a shakeup in the love department!

Of course, this is all just the latest speculation from The Bold and the Beautiful. We’ll just have to tune in to upcoming episodes to see what happens next.
