BREAKING: Brooke Sabotages Ridge’s Proposal by Locking Taylor in Dressing Room — And Rebecca Budig Shocks Fans With B&B Exit! 

The Bold and the Beautiful just delivered one of its most jaw-dropping episodes of the year — and fans are still picking their jaws up off the floor.

In a scene that felt more like a primetime thriller than daytime drama, Brooke Logan took her scheming to shocking new heights by literally locking rival Taylor Hayes in a dressing room — all to stop Ridge Forrester from popping the question. And just as fans were reeling from that outrageous stunt, the soap world was hit with another bombshell: Rebecca Budig is officially leaving B&B!

Brooke Goes Full Villain in a Stunning Move

Let’s set the stage: Ridge, conflicted but leaning toward a future with Taylor, had secretly planned a romantic, impromptu proposal during a major fashion event at Forrester Creations. Everything was set — candles, champagne, and even a ring.

But Brooke got wind of the plan… and did the unthinkable.

In a scene laced with intensity and deception, Brooke lured Taylor into a private dressing room under the pretense of needing “fashion advice.” Once inside, Brooke coolly closed the door, locked it from the outside, and walked away — leaving a stunned Taylor banging on the door, helpless to intervene as Ridge awaited her arrival.

“I’m sorry, Taylor,” Brooke whispered to herself. “But this time… I’m not letting you win.”

Ridge Left Waiting — and Devastated

As Ridge paced the romantic setup, checking his watch and calling Taylor’s phone, Brooke made her entrance — acting surprised and concerned, planting seeds of doubt.

“She must’ve had second thoughts,” Brooke said innocently, hiding the key in her purse.

Ridge’s expression quickly turned from hope to heartbreak, then confusion, then rage. But by the time Taylor was freed — by a stunned Zende — it was too late. The proposal moment had been ruined.

“You trapped me like a criminal!” Taylor screamed. “Have you lost your mind, Brooke?!”

Rebecca Budig’s Shocking Exit Rocks Viewers

As if this dramatic chaos wasn’t enough, B&B dropped a bombshell after the episode aired: Rebecca Budig, who recently joined the cast in a mysterious role connected to Deacon Sharpe, is officially exiting the show.

The announcement came via a cryptic social media post by Budig herself, reading:

“What a wild ride it’s been on The Bold and the Beautiful. Grateful for the memories, the chaos, and the amazing cast. Time to move on… but never say never. ”

No word yet on how her character will be written out, but rumors suggest her final scenes could involve a shocking betrayal tied to Sheila Carter — or even a tragic end.

Fans immediately flooded Twitter and Instagram with messages of disappointment, confusion, and speculation about whether Budig might be heading back to General Hospital or joining another CBS soap.

What’s Next?

Taylor is out for revenge. Ridge is furious and confused. And Brooke? She may have finally crossed a line even she can’t talk her way out of.

As tensions explode between the Logan and Hayes camps, and Forrester Creations becomes ground zero for emotional warfare, fans are bracing for what could be the most explosive May Sweeps yet.

Will Ridge learn the truth about Brooke’s shocking betrayal?
Will Taylor walk away forever — or fight back harder than ever before?
And how will Rebecca Budig’s sudden exit shake up the storyline?

One thing’s for sure: The Bold and the Beautiful is pulling no punches. The drama is red-hot, the twists are endless — and no one is safe.
