On The Bold and the Beautiful, December 10, 2025, celebrations are in store for Hope and Liam’s wedding. However, these two Forrester men didn’t show up in light of recent events.
Key Takeaways
- Eric turned down the invite to Hope and Liam’s wedding.
- Ridge told Brooke that he’s not going.
- The father-son duo isn’t in the partying mood.
Forrester Patriarch Goes Missing
Yesterday at the Forrester mansion, Eric (John McCook) brought up Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam’s (Scott Clifton) wedding to Donna (Jennifer Gareis). He’s excited about the couple getting married again.
However, Eric is skipping the biggest wedding of the year. He was forced to retire from his position at Forrester Creations. He’s not in a celebratory mood since he was told to stop doing what he loved.
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) encouraged him to retire for the sake of his health. Eric feels that he’s in his prime. However, he reluctantly gave up his job to maintain peace with his son.
However, it could ultimately cause him more stress in the end. He told Donna that he wasn’t attending Hope and Liam’s wedding. Rather, he would send his warm wishes to the couple.
Besides, the focus should be on the couple, not on him. The paparazzi have already been hounding Eric since the news of his retirement became public.

Ridge Turns Down Lope’s Wedding
On Wednesday’s episode, Ridge spoke to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) at the office. He looked sad as he thought about his father. He told Brooke that he wasn’t going to the wedding.
However, he had already called Hope and explained the situation. Just because he turned down the invite doesn’t mean he’s against the couple getting back together.
Ridge just didn’t feel like partying, especially after Eric’s retirement party was a bust. He threw his father a party without his consent or knowledge.
Plus, Ridge didn’t want to run into Bill (Don Diamont), who annoys him. So, it was best for him to stay away from Hope and Liam’s wedding for their sake.

Steffy Holds Onto Eric’s Secret
After Brooke left, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) entered the office. The father and daughter talked about Lope’s wedding and Eric’s retirement.
Ridge admitted that his father deserved better than what he got. Now, he realized that Eric is disappointed in him. He never wanted for that to happen.
However, Ridge doesn’t know that Steffy came across Eric’s recent sketches. She didn’t know that he was still designing at home. He still had many more beautiful creations to share with the world, but now that will never happen.
Will Steffy hold onto this secret? Or will she tell Ridge about Eric’s burning desire to continue designing? This could change the dynamic between the father-son duo.
