The Bold and the Beautiful’s Eric is coming across like he is a victim of big bad Dollar Bill and Katie, but that is not the case. Eric begged for a job, then backed out when Ridge guilted him, and he’s getting what he deserves.
Key Takeaways
- Katie helped Eric in his time of need.
- Eric knows the business and knows the designs belong to the company.
- It’s just another way to paint Bill and Katie bad and Brooke and Ridge good.
Enough is Enough of Eric the Victim
The second that Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) found out Eric (John McCook) was designing for Logan, he hit the roof. Even though Ridge ousted Eric from Forrester Creations, he didn’t want his dad working for the competition.
Instead of standing up to his son, Eric caved and agreed to return to Forrester Creations, leaving Katie (Heather Tom) without a designer for Logan. However, before he left, Eric did design a collection, and Katie is now being dragged by Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Eric, and Ridge for using it.
Everyone is creating the narrative that Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie are the bad guys who took advantage of old Eric. That’s not what happened, but Eric seems perfectly fine with that narrative, even though he literally begged Katie to hire him.
B&B fans also agree that Eric is not a victim and is the one who caused this situation.
“Eric practically begged to be Katie’s designer. Now he’s like he can’t believe she’s doing this,” shared a fan on X.
Another fan on X has an issue with the writers creating this narrative for Eric, saying, “They have written Eric Forrester terrible during this storyline. He asked and pretty much begged Katie to be her lead designer. Then he abandons her start up company without even talking with Katie.”
Over on Reddit, a thread had fans taking issue with Eric getting upset that Katie is using his designs when he made the business deal with her. Several fans called the storyline “ridiculous.”
It’s only just beginning as the latest Logan and Forrester war explodes. Spoilers for the CBS soap tease that Ridge gets what’s coming to him thanks to Bill. Also, Will (Crew Morrow) and RJ (Brayan Nicoletti) get dragged into the family drama.
