What’s Going On With Eric and Katie?

Unfortunately, this drama won’t unfold until the Friday, January 16 episode. Katie (Heather Tom) has some shocking news that will upset the Forresters. They’re already angry that she’s launching a new fashion house called Logan.

Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) argued that Katie couldn’t use the “Logan” trademark since it’s her nickname and she’s released collections under that name. However, Liam (Scott Clifton) was able to secure the trademark, which gave Katie free rein to do as she pleased.

She was on the hunt for a good designer, and she might’ve found him. Not only does she have her eye on Deke (Harrison Cone), who was just dropped from Forrestere Creations. She has an announcement for Bill (Don Diamont), which could change everything and ignite the fashion wars.

Eric (John McCook) is emerging from his brief retirement. As B&B fans already know, he was pushed into retirement by Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). Eric is taking his final designs to Katie’s fashion house.

Why Bold Move Could Upset the Forresters

Ridge encouraged his father to retire from the company that he founded. Meanwhile, Brooke tried to crush Katie’s fashion dreams instead of being happy for her sister. She hoped to stop the fashion house before launch, but she failed.

In a shocking power play, Eric becomes the Forresters’ new enemy. In the preview, Katie tells Eric that she doesn’t want to pit him against his own son, but Eric exclaims that he doesn’t care. He’s been wanting to do this for much of his life.

The patriarch is just happy to go back to doing what he loves. And he doesn’t mind if he has to knock his son down a few pegs for it to happen. Brooke and Ridge will be irate once they find out the news.

Forrester Creations has already been spinning over the news of Katie’s new fashion house. It’s all they could talk about in their last business meeting. They think her new name is a betrayal. Wait until they find out who will be working for her.

Who will ultimately emerge victorious in the fashion war this time? Katie has a strong designer who’s backing her up. She clearly has nothing to worry about, and she could finally step out of her sister’s shadow and come into her own.
