Recent episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful have shown Taylor revealing her supposed heart failure to Li, leaving viewers with more questions than answers. Could there be more to Taylor’s diagnosis than meets the eye? Let’s explore some theories about her motives and whether this health crisis is part of a bigger plan.

Taylor’s Heart Failure

Li was taken by surprise when she learned that she had heart failure, thanks to Taylor. Although Taylor says she's returning to be with her family and that she's dying, might there be more to the story?

Although Taylor's illness appears to be real so far, the program has given itself some leeway in case they decide to withdraw this narrative. To begin with, the fact that Taylor hasn't visited a cardiologist yet raises some red flags.

You would assume Taylor would have wanted to check in as soon as possible with her doctor in Europe regarding what she had learned. Rather, Taylor had been putting off approaching Li for advice until recently.

Taylor has undoubtedly shown emotion in private, but what if that emotion is guilt? Could Taylor have a plot in motion to steal Ridge back from Brooke after all?

What Will Ridge Do?

Though it is possible that Taylor is merely lulling her rival into a false sense of security, she keeps acting as though she accepts that Ridge is attracted to Brooke. Perhaps Taylor is putting on the front that she is not pursuing Ridge in order to get Brooke to lower her guard.

Ridge will undoubtedly find out about Taylor's heart failure allegations at some time this autumn, even though she is not telling her family about them. What if that turns out to be a component of Taylor's possible strategy as well?

As she draws Ridge closer, Taylor may wish to save her kids the suffering of learning about all of this—just in time for a staged revelation of a misdiagnosis or a phony miraculous recovery. Of course, it seems out of character for Taylor to dive this low for a Ridge reunion, but everything is possible.

This is particularly true if B&B decides to change course and decide to keep Taylor alive. Sally was headed for a terrible destiny until the plot took a turn for the better in a previous episode of the show. In an attempt to win Wyatt back, Sally's supposed fatal illness is revealed to be a hoax.

Is B&B able to accomplish something comparable with Taylor? If Taylor pretended to have a heart condition in order to take Ridge, how would you feel about that? Stay tuned for more shocking forecasts and updates regarding Taylor's future with Ridge—surprises pertaining to her are on the horizon.
