What Happened Previously on B&B
Eric (John McCook) shared that he wanted a larger role at Forrester Creations, insisting he was done being treated like the company’s mascot. What he truly wanted was to return to his passion — designing haute couture.
He also offered his opinion on Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) latest creations, and he wasn’t impressed. Ridge and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) bristled at his critique, especially since it wasn’t long ago that father and son faced off in their big fashion showdown, back when everyone believed Eric was dying.
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) has taken on more responsibility at Forrester while Eric stepped back. She’s learned so much from him and misses his presence in the day-to-day, even if she knows he deserves to enjoy this stage of his life.
Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) stood by awkwardly as Ridge told Eric he had to retire. Brooke also seemed surprised by what her husband said to his dad.
