JANUARY 2006
January 2 to 6, 2006
Taylor tried to explain to Brooke why Hector was in her bedroom. Dante and Felicia renewed their friendship. Nick became Brooke's confidant, as she told him about what she saw when she entered Taylor's bedroom, and how she, herself, felt about Ridge. Taylor admitted to her friend, Stephanie, that she kissed Hector on New Year's Eve -- and that Brooke saw it. Thorne was looking for someone to take over Megan's job, since she had been promoted, and the best candidate turned out to be Sally Spectra. Stephanie warned a guilty Taylor that telling Ridge about her past indiscretions would cause an end to her marriage. Brooke told Nick that she decided that Ridge should know what Taylor had been up to without him in town. Ridge apologized to Taylor to leaving her alone during the holidays, and vowed to never do it again, while Taylor prepared herself, to tell Ridge the truth about her own behavior. Taylor told Ridge that she wasn't alone on New Year's Eve; she was with Hector and they shared a kiss. As Stephanie warned Brooke not to say anything to Ridge, Brooke told Stephanie that if Taylor really told Ridge the truth, their marriage would end without any help from her. Taylor told Ridge that she had something that she kept from him, from years ago -- something that happened during a life and death situation with James Warwick.
January 9 to 13, 2006
Ridge listened to Taylor's explanation about the kiss shared with Hector. Stephanie realized that the falling apart of Ridge and Taylor's marriage could bring Brooke back into his life. Ridge came down hard on Taylor, for her hidden past indiscretions, and forgave her for those, but did not forgive her for the superior attitude that she exuded to Brooke for years. Brooke consoled Ridge after learning about the evening that he had with Taylor, and all the secrets that he learned about. Stephanie warned Taylor to try to save her marriage now, or she would lose Ridge to Brooke again. Felicia made a videotape for her son, to be shown to him when he became older, by the loving parents that he would be growing up with. Ridge told Taylor that he loved her and their children and prepared to ask her a question.
January 16 to 20, 2006
Brooke tried to convince Ridge to work things out with Taylor. Hector told Taylor that he wanted her to make a new life with him. Ridge and Taylor met up at Big Bear to discuss their marriage. Brooke told Nick about the secret that Taylor kept from Ridge. Ridge told Taylor that the reason their marriage was not working, was because he was still in love with Brooke. Brooke had the chance to tell Nick that she would not go back to Ridge or any other man. Taylor heard Ridge say the words she was dreading to hear, "I can't be your husband anymore." Taylor helped Ridge to explain to the children that they would always be a family, but their marriage was over. Brooke and Taylor faced off with each other regarding their relationships with Ridge and their opinions of each other. Brooke informed Taylor that she doesn't want Ridge. Ridge let his Mother know, that he intended to ask Brooke to marry him again. Taylor told Stephanie that, "it was time to put down the armor and move on with our lives." Ridge asked Brooke for her forgiveness, then proposed marriage to her again, but she told him that he had hurt her too much and she wouldn't allow that to happen to herself again.
January 23 to 27, 2006
Ridge told Brooke, that he wanted a future with her. Eric and Stephanie came to an understanding and decided to remarry for Felicia's sake. Eric proposed to Jackie the night that he planned on remarrying Stephanie. Nick told Ridge that he would be there to protect Brooke from him, so that he couldn't hurt her again. Massimo told Stephanie that he hoped for some sort of future with her, but her remarrying Eric would put a halt to that. Jackie showed Nick the engagement ring from Eric, and then told him that they would be together -- but first he had to marry Stephanie. Nick went to see Felicia to tell her to cancel her parent's wedding, but when he saw the condition she was in, he decided not to say anything, thinking that Felicia needed to be close with both her parents now. Before the wedding started, Felicia had each member of her family speak to the bride and groom, about the impact that their parents had on their lives. Nick warned Jackie that Felicia was "willing" something magical to happen with her parents. Eric and Stephanie acknowledged to each other their love and respect for each other, no matter what had happened in their lives. Stephanie and Eric decided to remarry.
January 30 to February 3, 2006
After remembering a happy time from the past when Ridge proposed to her, Taylor wondered whether or not she and Ridge ever belonged together. Hector told Ridge to stay away from Taylor now, and he would be the one taking care of her from now on. Jackie listened, as Eric told her that his commitment to her was still important, even though he had remarried Stephanie and that he was happy to see his family all together again. Ridge and Taylor's marriage was annulled because of her "unique" return. Brooke told Bridget that Ridge wanted to reconcile with her. Ridge warned Nick to keep his Mother away from Eric and himself away from Brooke. Brooke told Ridge that she was not sure they could ever regain what they once had. Brooke told Ridge that the dream they once shared was dead. Bridget started to experience sharp pains and Nick immediately took her to the hospital. Taylor decided to take a drive to clear her head after spending the evening alone drinking, and was ultimately involved in an accident.

FEBRUARY 2006
February 6 to 10, 2006
Thorne reamed Ridge out for his treatment of Brooke, and, his treatment of everyone else in his life, treating them all like they were beneath him. Hector found Taylor after her car ran off the road; he took her home, telling her that she needed to focus on something more positive than drinking herself into oblivion. Ridge told Brooke not to let their love story end. Bridget was taken to the hospital after having unexpected pains. Felicia insisted on being with Bridget at the hospital, even though she was barely strong enough to make it on her own. Bridget went into full premature labor but ended up losing the child. Brokenhearted, Bridget mourned the death of her baby. Nick paid a last visit to his daughter to say goodbye. Bridget told Nick that he was free to leave, since there was nothing holding them together. Dante and Felicia discussed the future of little Dominick.
February 13 to 17, 2006
Dante wanted to prove Dominick's parentage. Nick told Brooke that Bridget was willing to set him free to return to her. Bridget told Taylor that she was unsure that she could handle being Dominick's mother. Brooke told Nick that she believed that Dominick would be the road to recovery for Bridget and him. Dante went to Taylor for help in convincing Felicia to have the test to prove who was Dominick's real father. Ridge tried once again to prove his love for Brooke. Taylor, Dante and Felicia headed for the hospital to have the test done. With the results in her hand, Taylor prepared to tell Dante and Felicia the baby's parentage. Stephanie told Eric that she had been away trying to find help for Felicia's cancer. Bridget asked Stephanie if they could hold a family memorial for Nicole at her house. Taylor revealed that there was no doubt that Dante was Dominick's real father. Stephanie accidentally discovered Felicia's test results at Taylor's and thought it meant that she was going to resume her chemotherapy. Felicia was forced to tell Stephanie that she had made a mistake, and that Dante, not Nick, was the father of her child. After they were told that Dominick would not be at the memorial, Nick went to bring him back. When he arrived to get the baby, Nick discovered Dante watching over him, and upon trying to take the baby, Dante blurted out to Nick, that he was not Dominick's father.
February 20 to 24, 2006
The memorial service for baby Nicole was held at Eric and Stephanie's home. Ridge tried to talk with Taylor as he learned with cutting remarks from her that she has moved on with her life now.

Nick tried to prepare Bridget for the truth about Dominick's parentage. After being told the truth, Dante approached Bridget with the idea that the two of them could raise Dominick together.

Bridget told Nick, that he needed to be with her mother. Brooke accepted Ridge's proposal. Stephanie asked Bridget to let go of Nick. Jackie informed Thorne, Darla, Sally and Massimo that Nick was not the father of Dominick. Bridget told Nick that she was setting him free to be with her mother. Nick arrived amid the wedding ceremony between Ridge and Brooke, and whisked Brooke upstairs to talk. Dante told Bridget that Brooke would not believe that her marriage to Nick was over, unless she heard it from her own lips. Bridget rushed over to talk with her mother and convince her that her marriage to Nick was over, and with her blessing, she wanted the two of them to be together. A much stronger and directed Bridget also told Ridge that he needed to realize that Nick and her mother's feelings for Nick were much deeper than they had both realized. Thomas told his mother that if Brooke and Ridge didn't remarry, she still had a chance of reuniting with his dad. Taylor continued to answer all her problems by first having another glass of wine. Stephanie told Bridget that she couldn't even imagine how much strength it took for her to do what she did. Ridge wanted Brooke to tell Nick how much she loved him.

MARCH 2006
March 6 to 10, 2006
Stephanie tried to persuade Brooke not to go through with her marriage to Ridge, and to admit that she still loved Nick. Dante carried out Felicia's last wishes by bringing her family together for one last time. Massimo told Brooke that he would only back her marriage to Ridge, and that if she took one step toward Nick, she would have to deal with his wrath, which included more trouble than she ever thought possible. Felicia passed away in her mother's arms. Massimo insisted that Ridge needed to be with Brooke and their family, and drove him over to her house. Nick went to see Brooke, to profess his love for her and found her with Ridge in a very compromising scene, mistaking it for something other that what it actually was. Hector kept Taylor company as she continued to drink, but was drawn away by work, as Nick came in to do a little drinking of his own. Nick, still reeling from what he thought he witnessed joined Taylor as they both drank to their sorrows. Brooke, with some help from Jackie, realized that Nick must have seen her with Ridge, and rushed out to find him, leaving Ridge behind. Taylor, not having anywhere to go, ends up on the Shady Marlin with Nick, where she falls apart over her loss of Ridge. Brooke arrived at the Marlin and found Taylor on top of Nick, having toppled over on him, because she was drunk.
March 13 to 17, 2006
Nick asked Brooke if what she saw was going to tear them apart or if she would forget it and move on with their lives. Bridget tried to explain to Ridge that if her mother went after Nick, her choice was to be with Nick and not him. Stephanie tried to tell Taylor that Nick broke up the wedding and Ridge was still free to be with her. Ridge paid another visit to Brooke, hoping to get her to elope with him. Brooke took off her rings and returned them to Ridge. Eric told Jackie that Stephanie was acting strange and wanted no help planning Felicia's funeral. Stephanie went to see someone that was helping her with plans for Felicia. Jackie told Eric that Felicia was ready to die, but Stephanie was not ready to let her go. Stephanie visited her comatose daughter, telling her that she would make things better and, after her cancer was treated, she would receive a transplant that would give her time with her son, although there was no guarantee how much time that would be.
March 20 to 24, 2006
Stephanie sat by the bed of her drug induced daughter, telling her that what she was about to do on her daughters' behalf, would eventually allow her to have a little more time with her son. Dante tried to reassure Bridget that she would be the only mother that Dominick would ever have. Dr. Ramirez told Stephanie that they resumed chemotherapy on Felicia. Bridget told her mother that her divorce papers had arrived and that she had notified Nick. Bridget wanted her mother to be with Nick now, but to keep it private until their divorce became official in six months. Nick and Taylor bonded as friends as each began to know the other. Brooke told Nick they could finally be together, but not intimate, until the divorce was final, out of respect for Bridget. Nick and Bridget met and signed their divorce papers. Brooke told Ridge that she loved Nick, but he refused to believe her, and vowed not to give up on her. Stephanie attended her family's memorial service to Felicia. After receiving a call from Dr. Ramirez, at the clinic, Stephanie rushed over to find that Felicia's vital signs were starting, for the first time since she had been admitted, to register on the monitor. Brooke and Nick shared a family dinner with "Chef Hope," consisting of Nick's favorites, "chicken wings and beer." Stephanie noticed during one of her conversations with Taylor, that she was becoming attracted to Nick. Dante, prepared a special evening for Bridget as he told her his feelings, and gave her a copy of the papers, giving Dante and her permanent, legal custody of Dominick. Stephanie signed the papers giving the doctor's permission, to pull the plug on Felicia's life support.
March 27 to 31, 2006
Felicia's symptoms worsened as she was taken off of life support, but responded when her son, Dominick, was placed close by her. Taylor warned Nick to be careful of Brooke and her ways. Jackie listened as Eric proceeded to tell her that he missed her and was going to ask Stephanie for a divorce. Stephanie told Eric that she needed him, and that she couldn't carry alone anymore the secret that she has been keeping. Bridget moved in with Dante and Dominick. Stephanie took Eric to the clinic, and brought an astonished Eric into the room, to see his beloved daughter, Felicia. Eric was furious with Stephanie for what she had done to save Felicia, knowing that she would not have wanted that, but then became enamored of her for selflessly being willing to give up her own life to save her daughter. Bridget tried to convince Ridge of her mother's feelings for Nick and his for her. Taylor once again had too much to drink and ended up giving Nick something to remember her by. Ridge, finally realized that he might have the answer to why Brooke was leaning toward Nick, instead of him. A perfect "match donor" was found for Felicia, so that Stephanie did not have to sacrifice herself in order to save her daughter.

Stephanie and Eric brought Bridget, Dante and "Dino" to the private hospital where Felicia was eagerly awaiting to see them. Felicia was told by her Doctor, that she wouldn't be going anywhere, anytime soon. Bridget wondered, as she sat in the back of the hospital room, if her future was about to be turned upside down once again. Massimo tried using leverage to get Nick away from Brooke. Eric told Jackie that now was not the right time to talk about their relationship, since he was still celebrating the recovery of his daughter, Felicia. Jackie was relegated to be a part of the background, while Eric tried to put his life together.

Having gotten nowhere with Nick, Massimo went to Jackie with a plan, her freedom in exchange for her help in breaking up Brooke and Nick. "Dino" was reunited with his Mother as Bridget suffered in silence. Stephanie told the family that Eric was engaged to Jackie. It seemed that when Massimo spoke on Jackie's behalf, he ended up doing more harm than good.

Massimo orders Ridge to be back together with Brooke by morning. Eric and Nick discovered the discrepancies told to them by Megan and realize that somehow she was connected to what was going on. Brooke continued to take pills until she was unaware of what they had done to her and Ridge was there to take advantage of the situation. Nick discovered Megan and Massimo together, and told Massimo that from now on, nothing of his life would ever be private again.

Massimo warned Nick to "knock before entering" this time, knowing that the last time Brooke was in bed with Ridge. Nick found out from Taylor what happened between Ridge and Brooke, and headed for Big Bear and a confrontation with Ridge. Ridge and Nick fought over the "incident" with Brooke. Felicia told her mother that she was being selfish and that she had resigned herself to the fact that Dante and Bridget would take good care of Dominick (Dino).

When Felicia and Stephanie discussed Felicia's medical situation, Stephanie told her how important it was to put herself first, along with her son, that she had the right to do that.

A board meeting is called at Marone and Massimo is removed as CEO, after his undertaking with Megan is found out.

Dante and Felicia made a pact between the two of them to do what was best for Dino, regardless of what anyone else thought. Stephanie told Eric, that she blamed only herself for the unhappiness that Ridge suffered because of her unwillingness to let him be with the one woman that he truly loved. Stephanie took it upon herself to make Ridge's dream come true, to reunite him with Brooke. After Stephanie spoke with Stephen and he gave in to her plea, Stephanie took off for Mexico to bring Brooke back home to Ridge. Jackie and Stephen talked about their lives and Stephen ended up kissing Jackie, which almost made her swoon.

Felicia and Dante talked about what was happening between them. Jackie returned Eric's engagement ring a second and final time, knowing that he belonged more to and with his family, then with her. Stephanie brought Brooke to the hospital to see Ridge, and was right in her assumption that Ridge would respond to Brooke's voice and touch. Brooke reassured Nick that her future was with him, no matter what and that Ridge was aware of that. Stephanie called a press conference to let the public know about Ridge's condition and to make another announcement also. Jackie, who was at the conference with Stephen, called Nick to tell him to watch the press conference on TV.

Brooke was overwhelmed at Stephanie's gift of 50% of Forrester. Stephen and Jackie tried to stop Brooke from signing any agreement that would mean her return to Forrester and possibly to Ridge. Nick was furious at Stephanie's offer to buy Brooke back for her son, Ridge. Stephen announced to Nick that he had a plan to help crush Forrester's. Taylor attacked Stephanie for making her appear less than "nothing" in Ridge's life. Felicia told Bridget that if she and Dante had no relationship between them, it meant that he was free to explore other avenues, but vowed to keep away from Dante, until Bridget could make up her mind whether or not she wanted to be with him. Taylor, once again blamed Stephanie for humiliating her and stabbing her in the back, in front of the world. Addressing the obvious feelings that Stephanie had for her son, Ridge, Taylor received a slap in the face from Stephanie, who Taylor told, was the wrong thing to do to her and that she would live to regret it.
May 29 to June 2, 2006
With her condition so markedly improved, Christian decided that Felicia no longer needed round-the-clock care. Stephen talked Taylor into turning over her two-percent share of Forrester. In turn, Stephen then turned over the stock, which allowed Brooke to have a controlling interest. Stephen later assured Taylor that selling her shares and washing her hands of the Forresters was the right thing to do. As Brooke prepared to turn down the job of CEO, Nick interrupted her and accepted the job for her.

June 12 to 16, 2006
Brooke told Bridget that the right to Taylor's 2% of her stock stirred up many past memories of her father. Bridget told her mother that she was only giving Ridge more reason to fight for her, when she agreed to work with the Forrester's instead of firing them. After Dante proposed to Felicia, Bridget realized that she was still in love with him. Felicia, as a surprise to her fiancé, brought his family to the United States. Brooke told Nick that being allowed to run her own business and to marry the man that she loves is all that she has ever wanted. Bridget told Dante that she cannot give in to her own wishes if it means hurting her sister. The day of the fashion show had arrived and Ridge believed that by days end, it would result in the end of Brooke and Nick's relationship.
June 19 to 23, 2006
During the close of the Forrester fashion show, Ridge pulled Brooke close and planted a kiss on her. The spectacle sent the press into a frenzy and made Nick furious. Brooke initially defended the kiss to Nick, but later agreed that it was a bit over the top - even if it did generate a lot of press. Stephen announced that he was leaving town, but told Taylor that he'd be there if she ever needed him. Stephanie told Felicia that she was worried that Dante and Bridget might still have feelings for each other, but the wedding continued on as planned.

With a "little" help from Felicia, Bridget suddenly came down with the worse case of sunburn ever, stopping her from attending an award celebration for Dante. Christian warned Felicia not to do anything else as the results could be disastrous to Bridget.

Shane and Stephanie talked about what he wanted in order to keep quiet about Darla's death. Nick told Brooke that he spent the night with someone the night they fought, and it resulted in the woman becoming pregnant. Brooke later learned that the pregnant woman was her daughter, Bridget. Bridget was informed by her doctor that she was much further along in her pregnancy than first thought -- and that Nick could not have fathered the child. Brooke told Nick to get out of her life and pushed him overboard, tossing him a life preserver as she phoned the harbor patrol to tell them that a man was overboard in the bay. Brooke ran home to Ridge, while Donna was left standing alone, witnessing the two people being reunited.

Phoebe explained to everyone, including Sally, what happened the night Darla died, but Taylor wanted to confess to free herself from her own guilt. Taylor's charges were read and chose to plead guilty on all charges. When her sentencing was scheduled for about a month later, Taylor asked that the date be moved up - and the judge agreed to sentence her later in the day. Thorne visited Taylor in jail to thank her for not making the trial go on and on. Stephanie offered Shane anything that he wanted, if he could get to the courthouse in enough time to help Taylor. Stephanie let everyone know that Shane was a witness to the accident and could explain what really happened to Darla.
October 23 to 27, 2006
Shane appeared in court with Stephanie to testify on Taylor's behalf as to what he had witnessed on the night that Darla had died. Having told Stephanie that he had done his part, Shane said that he still intended to be rewarded as promised. Even though the two prior counts of a DUI and obstruction of justice stood, Taylor was allowed to change her plea of guilty to not guilty. Stephanie and Jackie argued over which one of their sons should end up with Brooke. Brooke, talking to both Nick and Ridge, separately and at different times, warned them both that things had to change between them. At her dinner party, Bridget told Felicia and Dante that she was not carrying Nick's child, but Dante's. As the tension between the two women continued, Jackie and Stephanie became mentally and physically abusive with each other. Saying more than what was necessary to Stephanie, Jackie received a slap across the face from Stephanie, and Jackie went to her son. Having seen the bruise, Nick confronted Stephanie and told her to keep clear of his mother, or she would live to regret it. Donna brought the children over to see Stephanie as Ridge was headed over to Brooke's. As the children arrived, shortly behind them, arriving within minutes of each other, was Jackie, who carried on with the argument again. Donna and the children did a quick exit to the ice cream store, but Donna realized that she didn't have the keys to the car and headed back inside for them. Stephanie, trying to stop Jackie from talking, headed upstairs to be rid of her; Stephanie told Jackie that she could remain downstairs, but when she left, to please shut the door behind her. Jackie, in a huff, followed Stephanie upstairs instead, where a push and shove match began. With one shove from Jackie and one back at her from Stephanie, Jackie fell over the railing and onto the floor below, where Donna saw Jackie land. Jackie was rushed to the hospital, where it was determined that she was suffering from bleeding on her brain, which could lead to permanent damage. Just as Brooke was about to tell Nick and Ridge who she was picking, Stephanie called with an urgent plea for Ridge to tell Nick that his mother was in the hospital. Nick told Stephanie that his mother's fall had better have been an accident, or he would make her life hell. Ridge surprised Brooke by taking her into a supply room, where he told her that he wanted to be a family again with her, and he wanted her answer immediately. Thorne told Taylor that he needed answers from her about Darla's death. Shane looked at Phoebe and told her that since she was 18, she was considered a woman.
October 30 to November 3, 2006
Phoebe reacted poorly to Shane's "come on." Jackie suffered a seizure while at the hospital and Nick told Stephanie that she had better go and pray, because if anything happened to his mother, he was coming after her. While Jackie's surgery appeared to go well, the doctor stated that it would take time to discover whether or not Jackie might have suffered any brain damage. Taylor had a bad dream about her daughter and found a guard who was willing to let her call home to check on her daughter. Harry told Phoebe that she was getting in way too deep with Shane, but Phoebe insisted that it would only last until the trial was over. Brooke told Ridge that she couldn't be with anyone right now and he vowed to wait until she was ready. After overhearing Stephanie tell Ridge that they needed to get rid of Donna now, Donna plotted her own revenge. Stephanie had someone pack up Donna's belongings and Stephanie fired her. Donna called Brooke to tell her that she's calling Nick to tell him that Jackie's accident was not an accident. Nick went to see Stephanie after Jackie nodded that Stephanie did indeed push her. Nick had Stephanie over the railing, but Stephanie stood her ground, so to speak, sticking to her story of what happened.

Amid Ann's comments that her daughter had received bruises because she was a "tomboy" came the voice of Pam who acknowledged that she knew of the beatings but did nothing.
