Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Fall

Eric, Thomas, Ridge, Quinn and Brooke continue talking at Forrester Creations.

Eric: Now everyone needs to calm down... 

Thomas: Calm down?! 

Eric: Yes! Diana is an adult and she can marry whoever she wants. Nobody in this room is a saint... You know it Thomas... Better than anybody.

Ridge: Don't compare Thomas to this bastard.

Brooke: Excuse me?! 

Eric: Ridge, Rick is my son... And I love him very much just as much as I love you and Thomas. There will be no bullying... We need to congratulate Rick and Diana. Rick has been through hell during his divorce with Maya and he deserves a new start.

Ridge: What about Diana? What does she deserve? 

Eric: I hope that Rick can make her happy.

Brooke: He will! 

Ridge shakes his head and Rick comes in.

Rick: I've heard the screams... It's about me and Diana, right?

Thomas: How could you manipulate Diana into marrying you?

Rick: I didn't manipulate anybody. It's just so happens that we are in love.

Ridge: You did it in secret. 

Rick: Think long and carefully why we chose to do it in secret Ridge... Because we wanted to avoid drama. You and Thomas need to concentrate on your own lives. Not mine.

Thomas: That's funny... Not so long ago you were very concentrated on my personal life... 

Rick: I wouldn't have to... If you wouldn't mess in my sisters personal life... Leave me and my wife alone.

Ridge: Alone? We are supposed to leave Diana alone with you? We won't... We will watch every move you make. 

Rick smiles sarcastically and shakes his head. 

Next scene: Macy, Brittany, Sally, Coco, Diana are in the room and talk.

Diana: I know that I didn't tell anyone, but... It needed to be a secret... Ridge, Thomas...  They hate Rick.

Macy: Ridge... 

Macy starts thinking.

Sally: Do you remember this name?

Macy: Yeah... Ridge...Thorne's brother? 

Brittany: Exactly... Mom... Your memories are coming back again.

Macy: Sorry Diana... I interrupted you... 

Diana: Oh no... You didn't. I am happy that your memories are coming back.

Macy: Me too... I am a bit scared of how I will feel once I remember everything, but I want to remember.

Sally: You will.

Coco: Of course she will. 

Macy smiles. 

Next scene: Eric, Quinn, Brooke and Rick are alone at an office in Forrester Creations.

Brooke: Son, it would be really better if you and Diana wouldn't lie to everyone.

Eric: Yes, but I also understand why Rick and Diana did things private.

Quinn: Yeah I would probably be doing things in secret too if I would be on Ricks place. Did you see how Ridge and Thomas attacked him?

Rick: I'm sorry that you didn't know about the wedding... I just wanted to marry the woman that I love. That's all.
