On The Bold and the Beautiful, February 23, Eric told Ridge that he was “returning home.” He decided to return to his previous job as lead designer at Forrester Creations. This comes after Ridge begged his father to come back to his beloved company. But Eric was designing for Katie’s debut collection with Logan. What will happen to the designs he already created?
Key Takeaways
- Eric argued that he needed to make his own decisions.
- He decided to return to Forrester Creations on his own accord.
- Eric’s return could fuel the fire in an already lengthy fashion battle between Forrester and Logan.
Eric Wants to Decide For Himself
Tensions were high as Katie (Heather Tom) shared that Eric (John McCook) was the lead designer for her debut collection. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) accused Katie and Bill (Don Diamont) of abusing Eric, who has health issues. Katie accused Brooke of treating Eric like a child who can’t make his own decisions. (Eric’s age discrimination story applauded by B&B viewers).
Brooke argued that she cared about his well-being, unlike her sister. Then, Brooke pushed it further by reminding Katie that her new venture was funded by her husband. She then accused Katie of using Eric to create a Forrester-inspired collection.
Meanwhile, Eric told Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that he wanted to live life on his own terms. Ridge claimed he was only trying to protect his father. Ridge feared the day when he would discover his father dead at his desk.
Eric got into a fit when he asked his son to allow him to do things his way. The father and son hugged through their tears. Then, Eric shared that he was returning home.
Who Gets Eric’s Designs?
Eric’s homecoming won’t spell well for Katie, who’s been working so hard to launch this new fashion house. This also means there will be a fashion fight over his designs.
So, who gets the designs? Legally and ideally, Katie should be able to keep them. Logan immediately gets to keep Eric’s designs, even though he’s no longer working for them.
Katie’s allowed to make changes to the designs as well. That way, she can hire another designer who could bring a fresh perspective to the designs.
There’s also the matter of Eric bringing his designs back with him to Forrester Creations. He could leave Katie without any designs since he’s free to make that decision on his own. Either way, this fashion fight isn’t going to end anytime soon.
