1987 (#4) - Bill's opposition and Ridge's betrayal of Alex

Since their first meeting on a plane back to Los Angeles, Caroline and Ridge knew they were destined to be with each other. On the one hand, Ridge, the young playboy destined for a career in the spotlight, and on the other, Caroline, a girl of sound principles and moral values, capable of melting anyone's heart with her genuineness and grace; very different, but both with a bright future ahead of them, they soon find themselves more in love than ever. However, Caroline's father, Bill, is not at all touched by this love story and has always been against this union, considering Ridge as a womanizer ready to take advantage of his girl. And when Ridge, at the end of the Forrester fashion show, asks for Caroline's hand in marriage in front of a delighted press, he goes into a rage. After all, Bill has a point since Ridge, even though he has sincere feelings for the girl, decides to take this step knowing that taking her to the altar would be the only way, then, to get her into bed, since Caroline is firmly convinced to keep her virginity until marriage. Convinced that Ridge would do nothing but make his daughter suffer, and fed up with trying to reason with Caroline, Bill has no choice but to go about his methods. With the help of Margot Linley, Eric's personal secretary, Bill contacts private investigator Conway Weston to tail Ridge and keep him under control. And just when Bill seems to regret having hired Conway, almost convinced by Caroline who, with her heart in her hand, asks him for his approval, here is finally the proof that would have framed Ridge and would have put him with his back to the wall: the proof of his betrayals. Ridge in fact, now resigned to the idea of putting his head in the right place, decides to indulge in one last crush with a spicy bachelor party with the provocative model Alex Simpson, with whom he spends a night of passion. A mistake that will cost him dearly.
