Steffy asks Ridge for help with Taylor while Brooke meets with Eric and Donna in recap for September 23, 2024. We kick things off with Li (Naomi Matsuda) in total disbelief at Taylor's (Rebecca Budig) news. Taylor admits she ignored her symptoms for a long time and then she finally saw a doctor.
She has heart failure and she's dying. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) doesn't want to think about her mother leaving. She asks Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) to talk her into it because he's the only person who can get through to her.
Ridge can't resist Steffy's pleas. Donna (Jennifer Gareis) tells Eric (John McCook) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) that the whole thing with Luna is her fault because she's the one who hired her. Eric and Brooke tell her it's not her fault, and they're just glad Steffy is safe.
No one knew how much danger Steffy was in. Brooke thinks back to her conversation with Taylor about keeping Hope away from Finn, and how they agreed to work on their friendship to help their daughters mend their relationship. Donna jolts Brooke from her reverie and Brooke reveals she and Taylor may "truly" become friends this time.
Eric thinks it would be great for Brooke and Taylor to be friends. Donna thinks it would be much easier for them to be friends than it was for her to be friends with Stephanie, and Brooke agrees. Things have changed a lot over the years.
Steffy says no one can convince Taylor of anything the way Ridge can. Ridge agrees, and Steffy is relieved. She doesn't .
