The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers document that Eric Forrester (John McCook) appears headed back to where it all started. However, this return engagement isn’t something that can be easily projected.
The gist of the storyline had Eric want to keep designing, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) offering a hard no, and Katie Logan Spencer (Heather Tom) realizing a temporary gift from the heavens.
Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) goal of creating a fashion house was realized and appeared to be supercharged when Eric volunteered to be Katie’s mentor and soon thereafter, her secret lead designer. But that fleeting fortune is gone or seems to be.
Why Rush The Climax In California?
Viewers were prepared to ride this family battle, with fashion being the proxy for months or longer. That’s why they are likely surprised that the writing staff short-circuited the storyline.
Why did Eric have a change of heart so quickly? The engineered factors had Ridge and Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) walking into the Forrester estate and finding Eric, his sketches, and Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis). That didn’t have to be. So, why do it?
Additionally, Eric might have been able to talk his way around what Ridge and Brooke saw, but then Katie and Bill arrived. Tom’s character felt compelled to reveal the truth and did.
Eric’s stress level spiked, emergency medical technicians arrived, and Ridge’s apology was mixed in. That meant scores of potential episodes were crammed into a mostly two-part reveal.
Katie Logan Spencer Verses Brooke Logan Forrester
Maybe the purpose of this tale is to establish a direct battle between Katie and Brooke. That has been the most tense fight these past weeks, with Ridge quickly realizing he was wrong to treat Eric like he did.
Brooke still doesn’t think she’s wrong, even though she is. Katie hasn’t been surprised by her older sister’s condescending comments, but devoted viewers know that it’s been a long time since these two characters went at it. Of course, Bill was the basis of one of their most famous blowouts.
Going forward, Katie will need to recalculate and score a few victories to establish Logan’s credibility. She’ll be driven by wanting to prove Brooke wrong.
Eric Forrester Continues To Call His Own Shots
Eric said something that he wanted Ridge and the gathered crowd to know. He demands to be heard.
Aging isn’t something that any one person can claim as an area of expertise because all human beings are different. However, those who are significantly older than those with whom they are speaking.
So, viewers can assume that Eric’s presumed return to the company he co-founded is conditional. If Ridge treats him well, at least in Eric’s opinion, then his designs will be part of FC’s upcoming collections.
But there’s a clear opening for the status quo to quickly change. While Katie’s coup is lost for now, maybe it’s not forever or for long.
