12. Brooke’s Going On A Bender
Brooke is struggling with alcohol right now, especially with all the stress caused by her lies. It may not happen tomorrow, next week or even in February, but at some point this winter, Brooke will go on a bender. She’ll knowingly get intoxicated because she’ll feel as if the walls are closing in on her.

11. Ridge And Taylor Can’t Keep Things Friendly
Could Brooke go on a bender after she sees something unfathomable? It’ll involve Ridge and Taylor. They won’t be guilty of anything, but Brooke might be under the assumption that they are. She may overhear a conversation that makes it seem as if they are cheating, but they aren’t. Maybe Sheila will say something about the ex-couple to trigger her. Regardless, Brooke will turn to alcohol, but that’s not the only line she’ll cross.

10. Deacon Jumps At The Opportunity
Alcohol isn’t the only thing that is tempting in Brooke’s world. If she believes that Taylor and Ridge have crossed a line, she’ll go full throttle. She won’t only get drunk; she’ll invite Deacon to her train-wreck party. The two will enjoy a ton of drinks, not to mention each other when all is said and done. She’ll learn the morning after that what she saw (or heard) between Ridge and Taylor was a mistake. Now, Brooke will have two major lies to keep from her husband.

9. Ridge Stops Something Before It Starts
It’s likely that Brooke may walk in on Taylor kissing her hubby before she jumps on the hot mess express. Ridge and Taylor will share a moment this winter, maybe even plenty of “moments”; however, on this occasion, Tay-Tay will reach in for a kiss, and before Brooke sees anything more, Ridge will withdraw from his ex and re-iterate his commitment to his wife.

8. Sheila Gathers Evidence
To ultimately ruin Brooke’s life, Sheila will somehow find out what the blonde is up to. She will gather photos or video footage of her nemesis drinking (and doing other things) and strategize about what to do with it. Should she send it to Ridge or Steffy? Maybe she’ll tell Finn? Nope, it’s time to hop onto social media so everyone can see Brooke spiral!

7. Little Douglas Continues To Blab
Before Brooke loses it, Hope and Liam will try to help. As Douglas told them what he saw, Hope will also look into the situation further by questioning her mom about what Douglas said. Brooke will come clean with her daughter and swear her to secrecy. But, they can’t guarantee that Douglas will stay hush-hush, too.

6. Steffy and Taylor Will Find Out
Douglas will likely tell another child what he saw. Then again, he could just tell his dad, Thomas. Thomas will go straight to his sister and mom. Either way, the information will be leaked back to Steffy and Taylor. Will they run and tell Ridge? Will he believe the ramblings of a child? If Hope tells Brooke what Douglas saw, they may be able to cover their tracks if they get approached by a Forrester.

5. Sheila Kidnaps…
Sheila’s been doing a great job hiding her crazy, but how long can this last? Are any other fans stunned that she hasn’t kidnapped a child, adult or even an animal yet? She hasn’t tried to set a fire or hold anyone hostage! Could this change as winter wears on? It would make sense for her to try something with Hayes, Steffy or Brooke. Could someone say something that causes this criminal to snap?

4. Paris and Carter Frolic Behind Zende’s Back
These two are headed for an affair! Two lip-locks and they aren’t even dating? They’ll be frolicking in the bedroom before fans know it! However, unlike Zende, Paris won’t be transparent about her secondary romance. Having said that, it won’t exactly be her fault. Carter will insist that they keep their relationship – or whatever they want to call it – a secret.

3. Two New Characters = Romance?
Dr. Grace Buckingham and Max are two new intriguing characters introduced to B&B this month. Will they branch out, creating roots within LA and meeting other people? Will their paths cross? Could the two decide to partake in a little romance of their own? Only time will tell!

2. Max Learns About Carter And Paris
What if Max learns about Carter and Paris, despite the couple’s attempts to keep their relationship on the down-low? Could he tell Grace? She may approve of Zende, but not Carter. After all, he is establishing a bit of a “cheater” reputation by going after Quinn and now Paris. Besides, the good doctor may also not like the idea of Paris dating more than one man at a time.

1. Grace Puts The Moves On Zende
What if Grace likes Paris’ boyfriend a little too much! Forget Max — she may want to put the moves on Zende! Dr. Buckingham may like younger men, and Zende is easy on the eyes. What if she gets her flirt on, and he doesn’t take the bait? What if he’s turned off by her antics? Then again, what if both are mutually attracted to one another?
