He is trying to use his best tool to get her out of his family's lives for good, but Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) could learn Quinn (Rena Sofer) is more resistant to his charm than he thought on The Bold and the Beautiful.

He has been flirting with her steadily ever since seeing her naked in the backyard before Christmas, in the hopes he will get her to stray from Eric (John McCook), so that a divorce will happen and no one in the Forrester family will have to deal with her ever again. He has been so focused on his plan that he has even told Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) that he doesn't want to commit to a wedding date with her until he knows Quinn is gone for good, , and she has since shared that information with Bill (Don Diamont), who is doing his best to try and convince Brooke that it's Ridge's way of trying to keep from marrying her again.

"That black cat has her claws so deep into Eric, she's not going anywhere," he says in a preview clip for the Thursday, Dec. 29 episode. "And Ridge knows that."

Meanwhile, back at the Forrester office, Ridge is continuing to try and ooze charm with Quinn, and will even start picking things up somewhere other than his office, where he has been massaging her sprained ankle. But when he follows her into the steam room, Quinn may grow wise to what he's trying to do, and will warn him that she wants him to leave her alone.

"I don't want you to flirt with me anymore," she says in the clip.

However, Ridge may not need to flirt any longer but could still accomplish his goal, as someone will see them together in the steam room and may jump to conclusions. And though Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) has been the only champion Quinn and Eric have had, when she sees Quinn and Ridge together, she may decide to do something to protect her uncle from presumed heartbreak.

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