They've both gone through unexpected traumas recently, and now, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) will seek solace and support from one another on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Ridge has officially been ousted as CEO of Forrester after coming clean to everyone about the truth concerning Douglas's paternity, and letting them be aware that he was actually Douglas's grandfather, while Thomas (Pierson Fode) was his biological father. Now, he is also worried the confession will give Thomas a reason to move in on Caroline (Linsey Godfrey), and it could upset and take away the only thing he has left, which is his marriage.

Meanwhile, Brooke has officially list Katie (Heather Tom) for good this time after coming clean about her second affair with Bill (Don Diamont), and is heartbroken that she hurt her sister as horribly as she did. However, when Ridge asks her if she will now allow herself to give in to a relationship with Bill because he and Katie have ended their marriage, she will admit that she has told Bill that she won't allow herself to be with him ever again.

"I made it very clear to him that there's no future for us," she says in a preview clip for the Tuesday, July 19 episode.

However, Ridge has heard her say this before, and then caught her with Bill almost immediately after, so he will have a hard time believing her. And as he continues to grill her about the relationship, she may finally come clean that she still does love Bill and want to be with him, even if she isn't allowing herself to be. Her confession will cause Ridge to remind her of the despicable thing Bill has since done to Katie since they decided to divorce, by keeping Will away from her, trying to make Brooke see that Bill is not the kind of man she should be wanting.

"Do you know what kind of man you're dealing with?" Ridge asks in the clip. "A man who would steal a child from it's mother."

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
