On The Bold and the Beautiful, February 16, Ridge found out that Eric has been stressed out lately. This news was shocking because his father seemed to have retired. But little did he know that Eric had agreed to be Katie’s lead designer. But is the job getting to him? Or is something else causing his stress?
Key Takeaways
- Eric has been secretly designing for Katie’s new fashion house, Logan.
- Bill told Eric that he needed to up the ante and get the collection out as soon as possible.
- Ridge found out that Eric’s been stressed out lately.
Eric Wants to Design Again
Eric (John McCook) was forced into retirement by Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). They thought it was best for his health. However, Eric still wanted to design and envisioned his next collection on the red carpet.
So, he agreed to design for Katie’s (Heather Tom) new fashion house, Logan. He felt the energy that he once had working at Forrester Creations. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing, especially when Bill (Don Diamont) is involved. For some reason, he’s making the final say on Katie’s debut collection.
Bill Pushes Eric to the Brink
On the Monday, February 16 episode, Bill rushed Eric to get the debut collection out as soon as possible. But Eric noticed that the designs weren’t what he envisioned at all. He claimed that “everything was wrong with them.”
They had to go back to the drawing board. This also suggested that Eric had to spend more time feverishly sketching at home. His wife, Donna (Jennifer Gareis), noticed that he’s been stressed out.
Ridge Learns Eric’s Secret
Meanwhile, Ridge will learn about Eric’s secret. He’ll claim that his new job is stressing him out, which is why he should’ve retired in the first place. But Eric loves designing.
He’s most in his element. So, is Eric breaking down from the pressure that he’s getting from Bill? Or is it from Ridge, who thinks his father should retire? Or maybe it’s the pressure from keeping this secret eating away at him?
Eric is not dumb. He’s aware of the rift that it’s going to cause in his family. That’s why he wanted to keep it a secret in the first place. But he wanted to prove to Ridge that he was still at the top of the game, and he might not be able to do that anymore.
