Fashion constantly changes on The Bold and the Beautiful. One day, you’re in. The next day, you’re out. Katie is about to learn how fickle the industry can be. Her fashion house could crumble before it hits the ground running. Now that Eric shared his secret, his future with Logan lies in the balance.
Key Takeaways
- Eric’s declining health created a power struggle that threatened to destabilize Katie’s new fashion house.
- There’s the possibility of Eric reclaiming his throne at Forrester Creations.
- The exposure of Eric’s secret forces Katie to do damage control for a fashion brand she didn’t realize was already crumbling.
Eric’s Secret is Already Out
Well, that was the worst-kept secret in the fashion industry. Eric (John McCook) had everyone worried about him. Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) learned from their doctor that his father has been under a lot of stress lately. This worried him since Eric had just retired. Or so he thought.
Most of the stress stemmed from Eric’s big secret. He agreed to be the lead designer for Katie’s (Heather Tom) new fashion house, Logan. All was going well until Bill (Don Diamont) told him he needed to get the pieces out as soon as possible.
While Eric loves designing, the pressure wasn’t worth it. He had to look after his health. What also bothered Eric was that everyone was telling him what to do rather than listening to him. He wanted everyone to know that he still had a voice, even though he’s getting older.
What’s Next For Logan?
Katie’s fashion house could be dead on arrival. At this point, it seems like Eric is out as their lead designer. The only other designer that Katie had in mind was Deke (Harrison Cone).
But he’s so green that his designs aren’t as great as Eric’s. Deke will likely be designing alone, under a time constraint, because Bill wants the collection out as soon as possible. This storyline could contribute to Katie’s downfall.
Her worst fears could come true. She could become the laughingstock of the fashion world if she doesn’t have the right designer at the helm. Initially, Bill claimed that this fashion house would be Katie’s alone and that she would be calling the shots. But then, he changed his mind and made the worst business decisions. (B&B fans question Bill’s involvement with Katie’s fashion house).
How Katie Could Turn It Around
If Eric leaves, Logan and Forrester Creations will argue over who owns the rights to his new designs. Deke could join the design team and bring Eric’s designs to life. He could put a new twist on them, one that the fashion industry has never seen.
Bill could argue that Logan owns those designs and will produce them with cheap materials. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) saw the designs Eric had left in the showroom and would immediately recognize them. This could lead to another fashion war between the two houses.
