Things are not looking up for "The Bold and the Beautiful" as Caroline (Linsey Godgrey) and Ridge's (Thorsten Kaye) affair is revealed courtesy of Maya (Karla Mosley) who wants Rick to herself. Other characters react to the affair and to Caroline and Ridge's possible marriage ending.

In an article by Celeb Dirty Laundry, it's been revealed that Ridge and Caroline's affair will be made public. The exposure will happen on Friday's episode with Eric Forrester, Sr. (John McCook) appointing Ridge as the next CEO of Forrester Creations. However, Maya will apparently be standing up to reveal the affair going on behind Rick's (Jacob Young) back, leaving the assembled party in chaos.

Several characters will be reacting to Ridge and Caroline's affair. According to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Rick "is not happy about the recent revelations." Hope (Kim Matula) will also be reeling from Caroline's cheating on Rick with Ridge. "She thinks their marriage could seriously be over after Caroline's tryst with Ridge," the article mentions. After her realization, Inquisitr states that Caroline will be asking for Rick's forgiveness. However, it is unclear whether Rick will be willing to forgive. "Caroline comes to grips with how much damage her choices have done to her marriage," adds the article.

Furthermore, a confrontation can be expected between Caroline and Ridge. The heated conversation shown in a promotional video will be revolving on a question of whether Ridge cares for Caroline, or if she is just being used. Caroline is seen in the teaser trailer asking, "Rick thinks you're conning me, is it true?" Ridge's response was nothing direct as he said, "I should have stopped this before it went too far."

In the aftermath of the affair, Rick is also expected to lash out at Ridge, says Inquisitr.

As for why Maya has decided to reveal the affair, IB Times says that it's a plan to get Rick, citing SheKnows as source. Inquisitr further adds that Maya is moving on to another step to finally break up Rick and Caroline, which will be seen in the show later in the week.

Though the show is mostly focusing on conflicts, there is a bit of romance courtesy of Liam (Scott Clifton) and Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) to be expected, shares Inquisitr. According to the article, "Big Brother 16" contestants Donny Thompson, Caleb Reynolds, Zach Rance, Nicol Franzel, Hayden Voss, Jess Schroeder, Jordan Lloyd, Rachel Reilly, Elissa Slater, and Brendon Villegas will also be making an appearance at a Halloween party.
