Liam Spills The Beans

Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) was stunned when he walked into Dollar Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) office and realized that Eric Forrester (John McCook) was Logan’s alleged secret weapon.

Yes, Eric was the lead designer for a rival fashion house, something Liam never thought he would see.

Liam was also sworn to secrecy, but if he can’t tell his wife, who can he tell? Liam wants no more secrets between them, so he tells Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) someone else’s secret.

So, now Hope knows that Aunt Katie hired Eric to be her lead designer.

Hope is stunned, to say the least. Did she think Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) was going to get the job after Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) ordered Hope to fire her brother?

Bill and Katie Have Even Bigger Mouths

Bill and Katie really want to cause trouble now. After Eric made them swear up and down that they would tell nobody about his new job, Bill and Katie now decide to tell Brook Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).

After learning that Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) has now convinced herself that she is in love with Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan), Ridge is sure he has to be in the upside-down world.

How could Eric Forrester ever design for any fashion house but his own fashion house?

Not only does Ridge consider this news to be a huge betrayal, Ridge is also reeling because he forced Eric to retire for his own good.

Ridge decided that Eric was too old to work anymore and let him know it in no uncertain terms.

Nothing has changed since then. Eric didn’t get any younger, so in Ridge’s mind, Eric should not be working.

This is about to turn into a huge fight that Ridge might find himself regretting when all is said and done. Ridge has no idea the hurt he has caused. When he causes more, who will Ridge blame?

Tune into all-new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful weekdays on CBS to see how these stories play out.
