The search team has decided to stop looking for a missing Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) in Abu Dhabi, and now, his fiancée Katie (Heather Tom) may be doing the same on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Ridge 'Will Always Come First' For Brooke?

She was desperate to find him, but now the stress may be getting to her and forcing her to admit the worst -- that he could be dead.

"I honestly can't imagine my life without Ridge," she says to his brother, Thorne (Windsor Harmon) in a preview clip for the Tuesday, June 17 episode. "Before all this happened we were planning our wedding. We were going to get married and raise our boys together and never look back. We had our whole future ahead of us."

Deacon Sharpe Returns To Town?

However, Katie's doubts could soon be reversed, as her sister, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) has gone for a walk along the beach, and will stumble across a familiar face when she does.

Meanwhile, back in L.A., Hope (Kim Matula) has just received a massive shock as she awaits for word on her surrogate father; her biological dad is back in town, and for once, seems genuinely interested in her life.

"So how's my little girl?" Deacon (Sean Kanan) asks her after he shows up at the house.

While stunned, Hope will still allow him inside to talk -- which is when he will drop the news she was least expecting.

"I want the chance to be your dad," he says.

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
