Does

can finally be a family again with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and
R.J. (Anthony Turpel, l.)? Thorsten
Kaye says:
"That is his end goal. He almost had it, before he acted like a spoiled

Is
Ridge happy about the death of Dr. Wolin (Mark Damon Espinoza, l.)?
Thorsten Kaye replies:
"I wouldn't say happy, but him buying the farm does take care of a few
things. I thought he was going to be around for awhile, but he did what

What life
lesson have you learned from your character?
[In response to Darin Brooks' answer of do not date your brother's exes.]

What was
the most memorable soap wedding you've been in or seen?
"Unless they're on the beach somewhere, I'm out. I
see that on
the schedule and I know it's going to be a long day. But because I know
you need an answer, I'll say my favorite wedding will always be an
Erica Kane wedding, because you know it's going to be quick, there will
be some kind of drama and then there will be another one in another
three weeks."

A
Forrester Family Reunion?
The BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL's Ridge never said
farewell to his
late mother, Stephanie, but could he still get the chance to do so? His
portrayer, Thorsten Kaye, jokes that his being on the soap might be all
it takes to lure Susan Flannery (ex-Stephanie) out of retirement! "Come
on, when she hears that it's me, she's not going to be able to stay
away!" he quips. Kaye adds that he'd love for Flannery to return as a
spectral vision or to tape some sort of storyline flashback. "I sat
with her at the Emmys once, and she seems like a real pistol!"
