Thorsten Kaye is one of the most famous soap stars, thanks to his role as Ridge Forrester on The Bold and The Beautiful. But with great fame comes great responsibility. And when stars of his stature say things in interviews that are out of line, they do end up getting just as much backlash from fans as they get love. Something similar happened to Thorsten after his recent interview with a popular soap magazine.

In a recent chat with Soap Opera Digest, Thorsten Kaye reflected on his character’s ongoing love triangle with Brooke and Taylor on The Bold and The Beautiful. Ridge and Brooke have recently fallen apart. Right after, Ridge darted back into Taylor’s waiting arms. Despite Ridge’s stance, Brooke has decided against throwing in the towel. She has resolved to win back her love no matter what.

Thus, episode after episode, Brooke is trying to convince Ridge to give their relationship another chance. But her pleas are falling on deaf ears. Meanwhile, Taylor is rather hopeful that this time she and Ridge will really make it. Thorsten seems to be thinking on the same lines as far as Ridge and Taylor are concerned. He heartily appreciated Rebecca Budig’s version of Taylor during his SOD interview.

That’s also where he low-key slammed Brooke Logan’s current begging ways. Commenting on Taylor, he said, “She’s not begging; she’s like, ‘This is me. Take it or leave it. Meanwhile, he took a jab at Brooke by insisting that “There’s nothing less attractive than a needy woman or a needy man.” While he did not specifically name Brooke, many fans did the math and figured out what he was pointing at.

But this isn’t all, Thorsten also made some remarks about Taylor’s past on the soap. He claimed that he likes Rebecca’s version of Taylor because she (the actress) was not the one who did whatever Taylor (the character) did in the past. “This Taylor, the one that’s on stilts in front of me. She has never slept with my brother (Thorne) or my dad (Eric), which is always nice.” However, Thorsten did agree that there is no justifying Ridge’s waffling that he has relentlessly indulged in over the years.

But will Ridge change his ways and stick with a partner for once? Only time will tell. Until then, stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more The Bold and The Beautiful spoilers and updates. Meanwhile, what’s your take on Thorsten’s remark? Tell us in the comments.
