Hey B&B fans! It feels like ever since Taylor has been back in Los Angeles, she has been bothered by something. We know that she is happy to be reconnecting with the family and all, but she is running out of time — and not just because she’s going away again.

So, let’s jump to that heavy conversation she had with Ridge. She starts talking about Phoebe. Yes, they had not spoken about her for a while, but all of a sudden, taking her name was a bit odd. Then she drops the line that really makes you think: she clings to the hope of seeing Phoebe again someday.

Does that not sound like someone who is already planning her exit? The tears, the sadness — it’s all just too much to be casual. It almost feels like Taylor is lowkey preparing for the worst, and it turned out she actually was, and that she had some kind of heart condition. We know she had that mysterious appointment in Monaco, but what if that was just the tip of the iceberg? What if the entire storyline leads to a near-death experience for Taylor?

So, imagine she is in a crisis, maybe her heart gives out, and suddenly Phoebe shows up. Now, before you think I’ve gone completely crazy, hear me out. They’ve done it before. Remember, Eric had this entire near-death experience and somehow, through a miracle cure, he bounced back. So why not give Taylor a similar thing? Except this time, Phoebe shows up as a spirit and tells her mom, “No, it’s not your time.” Taylor snaps out of it, ready to fight for her life.

And don’t even get me started on the possibility of Phoebe’s character making a comeback. Whether they bring back Mackenzie Mauzy or recast the role, imagine how emotional that would be, right? Phoebe appears, not in some grim “welcome to the other side” moment, but more like, “Mom, you’ve still got time, don’t give up.” That would hit the viewers right in the feels and probably be just what Taylor needs to find her strength again.

Let’s not forget, Taylor has been dropping these subtle hints since she came back. She’s been saying she wants to reconnect with the kids, with the grandkids, as if she’s on a countdown or something. So why would she talk like that unless she’s seriously worried about how much time she has left? It’s not just guilt for being away. It feels deeper, like there’s a ticking clock in her mind, and she’s trying to cram as much as possible into whatever time she thinks she’s got.

Now, we know that Taylor’s heart is failing, so you know they’re setting her up for a major emotional moment. And knowing how these soap storylines go, it’s safe to assume that there’s going to be some miraculous recovery in the works. Let’s be honest — it’s not Bold and Beautiful unless someone defies death in a dramatic, over-the-top fashion, right?

Maybe Taylor’s near-death experience turns into a huge wake-up call. She bounces back, and we see her fighting harder than ever to stay with the family. But hey, if we get Phoebe’s appearance out of it, even better, right?

Either way, Taylor’s cryptic comments and emotional breakdowns are definitely leading to something big.
