Shocking news

Hope and Liam talk at home.

Hope: Yesterday Taylor really told Ridge a couple of hard truths.

Liam: He had to hear it. There is no way that he can just continue putting his feet in Taylor's life like that.

Hope: True and Nick is a great guy. Ridge doesn't have to protect Taylor from him. They have a chance to start fresh and be happy this time.

Liam: Taylor has a really hard history with Ridge and Jack's conception. Her alcoholism... And also trying to murder my dad.

Hope: Yeah...

Liam: I am not completely over it, but it's clear that she has been deeply unhappy for years.

Hope: She won't be in a good place if she won't heal from her past with Ridge... 

Liam: Steffy is happy now... So is Thomas... She has a chance at a life with another guy. I think that her problems could really stop this time. Kelly could have a happy grandma.

Hope: True... God! I was really hoping that the fact that Taylor is dating now will bring more peace to the family... Not this. Why is Ridge like that?

Next scene: Steffy and Taylor talk in Steffy's living room. 

Taylor: Was I too harsh? 

Steffy: For the 100th time... No!

Taylor: I was so angry at that moment... Ridge needs to leave us alone. 

Steffy: He will... So how is Nick doing? Will you be seeing him soon?

Taylor: Tomorrow. I need to rest today. I had a really hard time. 

Steffy: Don't allow dad to put you though this, ok? I'm on you side, ok?

Taylor smiles to Steffy. 

Next scene: Bill Spencer is at SP talking with Justin.

Justin: Some guy wants to talk with you.

Bill: Who?

Justin: He says that he is a paparazzi with some hot stuff.

Bill rolls his eyes.

Bill: Let him in. I have few minutes. Let's see what he has to show us... 

Justin: Alright.

Justin opens the door.

Justin: Come in. 

Paparazzi comes in.

Paparazzi: Hello mister Spencer.

Bill: First of all tell me why do you think that you can contact me directly and not through an email or through a secretary? Is what you have that valuable? 

Paparazzi: Only if you think that Ridge Forester pushing his biological brother away caught on video is shocking enough.

Bill is surprised and so is Justin.

Next scene: Taylor is alone at home reading a book when she hears knocking on the door. She goes to open and it's Ridge.

Taylor: Hi Ridge...

Ridge: You look disappointed to see that it's me.

Taylor: Please come in.

Ridge comes inside.

Taylor: Kelly is in the zoo with Amelia... I stay at home  because I need rest today. 

Ridge: I stressed you out. I'm sorry.
