This love triangle would take the award for “Most Unexpected” is there was such a thing. If only because no one saw the chemistry-laden connection between Carter and Quinn coming… and no one could imagine the loyal Mr. Walton bedding his boss’ wife! But bed her he did, repeatedly. The pair fell for one another before Eric found out… at his vow renewal ceremony. Eric decided he’d pushed Quinn into Carter’s arms by not telling her about his erectile dysfunction, and in another moment that made this one “memorable”, encouraged Quinn and Carter to keep having sex since he could fulfill his wife! They took him up this wildly generous offer after the awkwardness passed, but it was short-lived and Eric and Quinn reconciled.
The most legendary love triangle on Bold & Beautiful, this one has pitted Brooke and Ridge’s complicated romantic history against his undying love for the mother of his children, Dr. Taylor Hayes — over decades! And there’s still no end in sight.
Following in Brooke, Ridge and Taylor’s footsteps are the women’s daughters, Steffy and Hope, and a waffler for a new generation, Liam Spencer, son of Bill. Referred to by Bold & Beautiful fans as the flip-flopper, Liam has ping-ponged between the loves of his life on a semi-regular basis until Steffy decided to remove herself from the equation and Finn came along… but even then Steffy and Liam had a one-night stand that left her wondering if he or Finn was the father of her baby (it was Finn). Liam has a daughter with each of the women and logs mega-steps per day running back and forth between his two families.
