Bold and Beautiful: Ridge is furious when he learns that Steffy's real father is James Warwick

In a stunning twist on The Bold and the Beautiful, Ridge Forrester’s world is turned upside down after a buried secret surfaces—one that challenges the foundation of his relationship with Steffy. For decades, Ridge believed he was Steffy’s biological father, standing by her through personal struggles, family rivalries, and professional triumphs. But a long-forgotten document is about to rewrite that narrative.

While searching through archived files at Forrester Creations, Ridge discovers an old medical report addressed to Taylor. Initially dismissing it as a routine postnatal file, he grows suspicious upon noticing a genetic summary. Seeking clarity, he brings the document to Finn, who makes a staggering discovery: Ridge is not Steffy’s biological father. The report instead names James Warwick, Taylor’s former therapist and one-time lover, as the biological match.The revelation sends Ridge into emotional turmoil. Devastated and confused, he confronts Taylor, who reluctantly confirms the truth. Through tears, she recalls a night of vulnerability during a blizzard at Big Bear—a night she shared with James, believing it might be her last. She claims she had no idea she was pregnant afterward and never intended to deceive Ridge.Despite Taylor’s emotional explanation, the impact on Ridge is profound. Everything he thought he knew about his relationship with Steffy is suddenly in question. The betrayal leaves him reeling, unsure how to approach the daughter he once believed was his own.

As the shockwave spreads, Ridge quietly arranges a meeting with James Warwick. Older and visibly regretful, James insists he never knew about the child. The encounter is tense and filled with unspoken resentment. Ridge, struggling to process the truth, accuses James of stealing his daughter—an accusation James calmly refutes, stating they were both unaware of the consequences of that night.
