The Bold and The Beautiful Spoilers — Ridge Pressures the Judge!

Ridge’s attempt to get back at Bill in these THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL spoilers could have serious repercussions for Katie and her custody fight for Will! And just what nefarious scheme does Bill have up his sleeve this time to make sure he comes out on top?

Wanting to help Katie win custody of Will away from Bill, Ridge paid a visit to Judge Craig McMullen, and it turns out that the two men are old friends. Not only that, but Ridge loaned Craig the money he needed to attend law school! And now it looks as though Ridge is going to try and call in that favor by asking the judge to rule in favor of giving full custody of Will to his mother. “I’m telling you,” Ridge pleads, “I need your help with this.” Will Craig allow himself to be pressured into making a judgement before he even hears the case, or has Ridge just made things worse for Katie?

Over at Forrester, Thorne is standing by Katie’s side as she explains why she feels the need to take custody of their son. “Bill is an occasional father,” she declares. “He sees Will on his terms, and his terms only.” And over at Spencer, Bill is making his own plans to tear down Katie at the hearing so that he can retain custody of the boy. “Even the best marriages have secrets,” he muses. But which couple is Bill planning to tear apart? Brooke and Ridge? Or perhaps Katie and Thorne, who are planning to tie the knot very soon?
