Bold and the Beautiful - 2003 (S17 E63) FULL EPISODE 4197

Stephanie attacks Brooke regarding Ridge and the baby. Brooke claims the baby will be fine since it will be raised by two parents who love him. Stephanie tells Brooke that Ridge will not be able to overcome the baby’s paternity and states if she loves him she will let him go. She admits that she was in the same position when she suspected there was a chance that Ridge could have been Massimo’s son and ignored it. She let her love for Eric get in the way and tells Brooke she doesn’t want her to end up alone and full of regrets. Brooke is shaken by Stephanie’s emotional plea. Meanwhile, Ridge visits Nick asking to adopt the baby. Nick refuses to be cut out of his child’s life. Ridge firmly states that nothing has changed between Brooke and him and storms off. Jackie tells Massimo that Nick is the father of Brooke’s baby. Massimo is upset and predicts the results will be disastrous to his family.

Flannery always shines up every scene like a hope diamond. What a gem.

[@kayschultz4113]

Brooke and Ridge are so perfect for each other, so selfish. These parents are too invested in their adult children's love life. Stephanie has faith in Brooke, what a joke. They are having Stephanie rewriting about Ridge's paternity

[@ahy4234]

It is significant that the RESULT of this story is now described as a catastrophe (even though it is fundamentally innocent) that destroys the family, but not the CAUSE.

[@PaulBonds-k2r]

Nick should of been the father of this child and not Ridge

[@gildasassi8574]

Absolutely. Ridge is wrong.😢😮

[@kayschultz4113]

Nick did eventually get a child wit Brooke, in a sick and twisted way

[@PaulBonds-k2r]

@@kayschultz4113 Fact

[@MariaPerez-sb1xp]

Out of all elderly women of the show Jackie is the finest. Stefano has taste.

[@donnaharris2192]

jackie is sneaky and coniving no wonder she likes brooke. she is an older version of brooke.

[@-Lily7415]

Ridge and Brooke are both only thinking of what they want. They don’t care about what Nick wants.

[@rosmarygiovani]

You are all completely wrong. So what are they supposed to do. Give the child to nick to bring it up a alone a single parent without its mother o that's right ok. Or should brooke be forced to be with him. Well thats great. They have to make the best of a bad situation. You all just forget that brooke and ridge love each other. Massimo is right. Nick cares and wants to be with brooke that's the problem not the child. Nick is being selfish. He admitted that what he did was wrong with brooke. Now he has to prove it.

[@RealTalk1411]

​@@rosmarygiovani If the child is Nick's, he's supposed to just give up his child. He is supposed to stand by and watch Ridge raise his son as if he doesn't exist. No that's not fair to Nick.

[@sharondias6665]

Nick was so awesome...the only one who could stand up to Ridge. Love this storyline with Brooke, Ridge and Nick ❤

[@mara4450]

Strange karma with these families and how their past supposedly repeats itself: A) Both, grandmas, Jackie and Stephanie, already experienced the same thing, married to one man but raising another man's child in that marriage. B) Nick and Ridge both grew up with a "father" that wasn't really their biological dad. C) Brooke in the past already tried to raise a man's child (Eric's) with his close relative (then son) and now she is planning to raise Nick's child with Nick's brother.

[@ganiatolanlokun]

Jackie's obsession with Brooke and Nick is ridiculous 🙄

[@-Lily7415]

I think it’s about keeping Nick from leaving town .Thats why she wanted the baby to be Nicks

[@ganiatolanlokun]

@-Lily7415 yeah well she needs to back off

[@scor66]

Brooke ending up alone? The village bike? Never! And it's not meant to be complementary! 😂

[@ministryofwrongthink9847]

Handtowel😂

[@scor66]

​@@ministryofwrongthink9847love it!😂😂

[@ahy4234]

The village bike is at least a tandem, that's for sure. She always has place for two people at the same time 🤣

[@ganiatolanlokun]

Stupid ridiculous comment 🙄

[@memento-_mori]

@@ganiatolanlokun Your post is autological - a thing that describes itself.

[@alicia-rs4ef]

Wilfull blindness isn't lying.

[@kymdp1969]

Stephanie finally admits that she knew there was a chance that Mass was Ridges father!

[@donnaharris2192]

nick come on ridge has turned his back on his children. the minute taylor died it's been brooke brooke brooke and he tossed his kids by the wayside.

[@PaulBonds-k2r]

So Stephanie knew Massimo was the father of Ridge all along

[@Kelly-g2g9k]

No

[@babs4848]

Spineless Ridge wants to adopt his nephew and Brooke is ok with it? I remember her telling Nicky she loved him on the island. Ridge is good only for Brooke. Selfish and stupid.

[@rosmarygiovani]

See how you are all hypocrites stephanie knew all the time ridge could be Massimos. That's ok by you. Also i remember ridge was married to taylor as ridge is now with brooke. They found out that ridge was the father of brookes daughter bridget. But you all supported taylor and ridge didn't you. We can not split the happy family up can we. But we can split this one.

[@babs4848]

​@@rosmarygiovani Ridge himself didn't want to be with his daughter and Brooke. Deal with it.

[@rosmarygiovani]

​@@babs4848 That may be the case but he sure does now. So brooke should be with nick even though she doesn't want to. This is why i gave you this example. By the way i don't have to deal with anything. I have the right to my opinion. YOU deal with the fact ridge wants brooke now more than ever. Even when taylor returns. So you deal with it. Don't blame brad because this excuse is boring and worn out.

[@nancytautuaa8996]

Ridge and Brooke they're selfish that's why they belong to together hhhhh

[@mara4450]

10:22 _Stephanie: Every time he holds that baby and looks at his face, he is going to see his brother._ 😅 Going by how BRIDGE has ended the first time, because Ridge didn't want to interfere with his father's marriage/family any longer, I would agree, but then we had Ridge again and again playing step-father to his (then) half-sibling(s) little Eric (and Bridget). It will depend on Ridge's mood😎 , if he will be seeing his brother or will just be happily ignorant.

[@marynickson6276]

but Sally charged the test results, but it is Ridge’s baby after all

[@mara4450]

Marvin's disk/program compromised/corrupted the software program. I just would like to know how many other patients got wrong test results thanks to that glitch/bug. 😏😉

[@babs4848]

I can't believe now Stephanie is saying that she knew Ridge could have been Massimo's... Even if we put aside the rewrite Brad himself acknowledged about Ridge's paternity....why is he changing again Stephanie's story about Ridge. She was shocked when she found out!

[@marn25]

She is most likely lying so she can convince Brooke to leave. Indeed she was shocked when she found out. And she seemed like she had her pe riod after Massimo and before Eric, judging from her reaction when the doctor told her a woman can still be pregnant even if she has had her peri od.

[@mara4450]

I always take everything they say with a grain of salt. At times we had Stephanie and Eric talking that they got married because of the baby, how Eric had been trapped into marriage, even Stephanie talking to her son about the other woman that Eric had been so in love with and likely never got over - and then we had Stephanie even then talking about how much Eric and Stephanie had been in love with each other in college. Ridge in episodes 199-200 even questioning that changing narrative and why Eric would end it with a woman he supposedly had been in love with and marry his mother and if Ridge had been the reason for that marriage. In episode 200 Stephanie is convinced that the other woman must be Liz Henderson because Eric never has been involved with another woman (Ridge reminds her about her suspicions about Margo) or at least Eric has never before admitted to it. 😅 The narrative continuously changes, even when they talk to the same people.

[@MariaPerez-sb1xp]

3:20 First there was a brunetto brother rivalry of Mick Cain and McClain over a sweet strawberry blonde, and now there is a Marone brother rivalry of Forrester and Payne. Being Brooke's baby daddy is have nots and have yaughts for them (pun intended for their dad's empire).

[@mara4450]

And episode with Stephanie and Jackie both commenting about _What if Massimo would have gotten the chance to be a father to his child?_ to get their way with Massimo and Brooke. Jackie wants a happy end for Nick, Brooke and the baby. Stephanie kinda wants the same but mostly she wants Ridge out of that messy situation.

[@alicia-rs4ef]

Constant rhetoric check mating by Nick today
