Bold and the Beautiful turned Taylor Hayes into a tyrant upon receiving her broken heart syndrome diagnosis this week on the CBS soap. Instead of rejoicing that she’s not looking at a death sentence, she’s furious and not accepting the diagnosis.

Of course, being told that she suffers from a broken heart might prove a bit embarrassing because Ridge Forrester was there. But he’s likely the source of her aching heart, which is something she denies.

Bold and the Beautiful: Taylor Hayes Looks Embarrassed and Disappointed?

Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) considers her new lease on life an embarrassment. Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) looks flattered as Taylor rambles about his bloated ego because he thinks she’s aching over him.

But instead of relief, she aims anger at Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech), for her diagnosis. Taylor walked around for weeks thinking she was about to keel over for good. Yet, you don’t need The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers to suggest that is not the case anymore.

So, for some odd reason, a speck of disappointment seems mixed in with her humility. And that doesn’t seem at all like the Taylor Hayes of yesteryear.

B&B Spoilers: Broken Heart Syndrome Could Come in Handy for Taylor

If Grace’s diagnosis turns out correct, then this could be Taylor’s ticket back to Ridge. Bold and the Beautiful already has Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) planting doubts about Ridge for Brook Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).

So, it looks like the soap begins to pave the way for another tug-of-war for Taylor Hayes and Brooke Logan. And despite Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) denying playing matchmaker for her father and mother… she is.

Steffy needs to find out about this diagnosis so she can hound Ridge to go back to Taylor and save her life. That would mean dumping Brooke and committing himself to Taylor Hayes. So, this broken heart ailment could be useful for Taylor Hayes, in her pursuit of Ridge Forrester.

Bold and the Beautiful: Sit Back and Do Nothing…

Once Taylor shakes off the humiliation, things might fall into place for her. She won’t need to do a thing if Ridge Forrester becomes invested in saving her life.

Then, next week on Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy is bound to find out. While this only adds to Taylor’s humiliation, it may also work to her advantage.

If that is the case, then Taylor will have her daughter doing all the work to reel in her ex. Knowing her mother could die from a broken heart, Steffy won’t let her father do anything else but help her mother.

So, now with this broken heart thing going on, if Ridge doesn’t do what he can to help, he likely faces the wrath of Steffy. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers suggest Taylor Hayes has the upper hand over Brooke Logan this time on the CBS soap.
