A Look Back:
Remember RJ? Born in 2004, after a paternity battle (was it Ridge or Nick?), he was eventually confirmed as Ridge's son. Brooke named him Ridge Jr.
In 2016, RJ returned from boarding school, determined to reunite his parents. He played a key role in getting Ridge and Brooke back together.
Then, in 2018, he left town, only to return in 2023 as a young adult, having built a social media presence. He initially hesitated to join the family business, but ultimately agreed to help his grandfather with what was believed to be his final collection. This decision put RJ at the center of family drama and created tension with Zende.
And this is the part most people miss... RJ's romantic involvement with Luna became a major storyline. He supported her through family secrets, paternity shocks, and even criminal investigations. But then came the devastating revelation: Luna had manipulated him, slept with Zende, and was involved in serious crimes, including Steffy's kidnapping. This betrayal left RJ heartbroken and disillusioned.
After attending a major business meeting in late 2024, RJ disappeared again, seemingly wanting to avoid the fallout.
What's Next?
On Thursday, January 15, episode #9694, we'll see RJ's return and hear all about his trip from his own lips. Also, be sure to note that RJ is now portrayed by Brayan Nicoletti, who is making his network television debut.
