The Bold and the Beautiful - MESSAGE BOARDS

Will he be killed off? And if so, will he split his 20% shares between his 3 surviving children? Will Brooke get any shares? Will BRIDGE marry again before his exit? How will this affect FC?

Or will his role be recast with a new actor?

Nuetral fans are welcome in this thread.

why can't a fan like ridge and not and logans? This post is not about the logans and ridge was married taylor and brook? I am not saying I am a logan fan or not.

I wondered that.

If they kill him off the question becomes before or after he remarries Brooke.
I doubt he'll divided the shares as Thomas already has 30% and Steffy 25% but he may leave them to RJ and maybe Hope if he's remarried at the time of his death.

He doesn't control enough shares to make any difference in the power structure at FC but he could give Brooke a toe (not even the whole foot) hold into the company and by extension Rick at least a digit. Steffy and Thomas becoming major players with mass apeal to the greedy Logans. I wonder how long it'll take Rick to declare his undying love to Steffy and Hope hers to Thomas?

OMG..Hopes career will be in Steffys hands. This is going to rock B&B world.
Bill becoming a player also a possibility.
If Hope and Liam survive, Bills 12% with Brookes 20%(assuming Ridge dies and leaves them to Brooke) would cause a stir as long as Thomas remains on the fence about the Logans. Which won't happen if Rick chases and wins Caroline. I can see Thomas going for some serious payback and using his shares to accomplish it.

This could be he best thing to happen to B&B in years.
It completely changes the dynamic of the relationships and the power structure.

I can't see Ridge leaving any shares to Hope, since she is not his blood child. But it could still happen. RJ's would be controlled by Brooke. I still think he would leave Thomas and Steffy a portion even though they already have shares. Ridge has always thought of himself as a Forrester and he knows that Steffy got the company back for him. He will want to keep the company in the Forrester family.

I'm sure glad to have peeps like you that keep up with all the news. I had NO idea Moss was leaving the show. Can't really say I'm a huge fan of his. I think his acting stinks but that's just my opinion.

If they kill him off (sorry Ridge), that could open up a whole new scenario for the show. Fighting amongst themselves over the shares and control of the company. If they just re-cast the role, we'll just be seeing more of the same old crap from the Logans and Forresters. A bunch of old people sitting around talking about how Steffy belongs with Liam and how Hope doesn't ... or vice versa, depending on which old cronies you're listening to.

I choose option one. Death.

After 25 years I can't see anyone being believable as Ridge. He is one of the "core 4" as they say. I think it is easier to handle an actor change for a character when it is a shorter term character or one that is on and off some. When it is someone like RM, I just think it would be very hard to accept a replacement actor and it to flow.

Anyone remember when Martha Byrne left ATWT? I just never could make the new actress be Lily.

It will be interesting to see how they handle it if, in fact, he actually leaves.

wow that is a big change if RM and SF leave they are the 2 main core characters of the show.....they were both on from the beginning
