The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers for Thursday, October 3, reveal that Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) will move forward with the cardiac enzyme test that she mentioned to Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).

Ridge will give Taylor a little more support, so he’ll once again remind her that she’s not alone anymore.

It’s clear that Ridge is committed to helping Taylor and figuring out if her condition might actually be something treatable.

Ridge isn’t convinced they should believe Taylor’s heart failure diagnosis, especially without the proper testing.

However, Taylor has more of a doom-and-gloom mentality where she’s already preparing for the end.

That’s why things may take a shocking turn for Taylor once Dr. Buckingham delivers the results she needs.

Since Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) is looking for Ridge, Taylor may wind up sending him off to meet with her.

Perhaps Taylor will insist there’s no point in Ridge waiting around for the outcome of her test and promise to give him updates afterward.

That could leave Taylor on her own when she gets some stunning news from Dr. Buckingham.

Since we know Taylor will have her doubts about her diagnosis before the week’s over, that could mean she’s not fading fast after all!

Of course, it’s possible Ridge will hang around to hear Taylor’s results as well, but there’d be more drama if Taylor gets them by herself.

That could leave Taylor in a position where she has to decide what she’ll tell Ridge later.

Taylor finally has Ridge’s attention on her instead of Brooke, so could she let him believe she’s still on the path to an early grave?

There are surely going to be some twists in this B&B storyline, so we’ll bring you more predictions on what’s coming up for Taylor.

In the meantime, let’s talk about Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) since he’ll let his guard down with Katie Logan (Heather Tom).

Bill will let his vulnerability shine through and bring out some strong emotions for Katie, but she still won’t be ready to commit to a romantic reunion.

Over with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), they’ll have another flirty interaction.

Carter and Hope are teetering on the edge of something more than friendship – even if they know it’s a bad idea to mix business with pleasure!

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Hope and Carter will remain drawn to each other, so stay tuned to see how their connection will complicate the situation at work.
