Where is Ridge Forrester on Bold and the Beautiful?

Ridge has been a staple of the Bold and the Beautiful since its inception in 1987. He’s been played by two actors – Ronn Moss and more recently, Thorsten Kaye – but no matter who’s been in the role, Ridge Forrester has always been at the center of the show’s drama. But now, Ridge is nowhere to be seen on the canvas. He’s been MIA for weeks, and fans are starting to get worried. So, where could Ridge be?

Where is Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester) on Bold and the Beautiful?

Some fans think that Ridge Forrester might have left town to clear his head, after the tumultuous events of the past few months. He’s been through a lot – his marriage to Brooke fell apart, his relationship with Taylor didn’t work out as well and his children had been pushing him to do things he necessarily didn’t want to do. They conspired to push him closer to Taylor while he was still married to Brooke, and Thomas crossed a line when he framed Brooke with the CPS call.

He could be taking a time out in one of the many Forrester properties around the world to avoid the constant fighting. He’s at odds with his son and the women in his life have decided he’s just not worth fighting for anymore. Ridge is a grown man and he can decide what’s best for him. So a getaway to reflect on his life is what he needed right now.

A lot has happened since Ridge left the canvas. Thomas has been lobbying around Forrester creations for his old job back, Douglas now lives with his aunt Steffy, his ex wives Brooke and Taylor are BFFs, not only is Sheila on the loose, she’s dating his arch enemy Bill Spencer, Taylor tried to overdose on pills, and oh, Brooke might start sleeping with an Il Giardino waiter.

So where has Ridge been all this time and why hasn’t he come home. Surely the news of Taylor’s attempt should’ve brought him back to check on the woman he last claimed he loved.

But could Ridge’s absence might be a little more…sinister? Ridge could be involved in some kind of nefarious plot. There’s no shortage of people who have it out for Ridge – from his family members to his rivals in the fashion world. Could one of them be behind his disappearance? No matter where Ridge is right now, one thing’s for sure – when he does come back, it’s going to be a major moment for the Bold and the Beautiful.
