The Forresters are about to be hit with another health scare on The Bold and the Beautiful. While many are concerned about the well-being of their beloved patriarch Eric, it’s another family member they should be worried about.
Key Takeaways
- The buzz about Eric’s retirement has sparked concerns about his health.
- Eric and Ridge are feuding over Forrester Creations again.
- Recent dialogue has fans concerned about Ridge.
Ridge’s Health Scare
Another Forrester family feud is brewing, and again it’s Eric (John McCook) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). Ridge and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) feel it’s time for Eric to retire and leave the running of Forrester Creations to them. However, the FC founder has made it clear that he’s not going anywhere.
Eric and Ridge’s latest battle is reminiscent of their 2023 feud, during which Eric thought he was dying. With recent spoilers saying the Forresters become concerned about Eric’s health, speculation is that the family patriarch faces another medical crisis.
However, a fan theory on Reddit suggests a twist in which Ridge is the one who suffers the health crisis. The theory points out recent dialogue that suggests trouble for Ridge. During a heartfelt talk with Ridge, he promised to love Brooke until his dying breath. Then Brooke mentioned Ridge has been stressed about work, and she feared he’s becoming burnt out.
Many fans seem to agree that something significant will happen to Ridge because of recent events. “The ‘dying breath’ remark struck me as a bellwether,” wrote one viewer. “Ridge could have a health crisis and not die, but if he were to die, I do wonder who would be next up for Brooke,” one fan wrote.
Is The End Coming For Ridge?
Ridge has a lot on his plate with his duties as Co-CEO and couture designer. When Eric offered to help, Ridge rejected the offer, which reignited the father-son feud.
Aside from work and arguing with his dad, Ridge is also fighting with Bill (Don Diamont). Bill, who’s trying to woo Katie (Heather Tom) away from FC to Spencer Publications, is angering Ridge. The feud with Bill and his other added stress isn’t good for Ridge. If he’s not careful, then he might end up in the hospital with a heart attack or another illness.
Having Ridge be the one who’s sick would be a shocking twist. Plus, it would open the potential for emotional storytelling as the Forresters gather by his bedside. Will Brooke have to say a final goodbye to her destiny? Will one of the Forresters step up to help Ridge? These are many of the questions that will be asked if Ridge has a medical crisis.
