The Bold and the Beautiful’s Bill doesn’t understand the fashion world. He calls designers like Eric and Ridge “dressmakers.” Yet he’s been making the final say on Katie’s fashion house.
Key Takeaways
- Bill has pushed Eric to hurry up and finish Logan’s debut collection.
- Eric claimed that the first two pieces were all wrong.
- Viewers are confused as to why Bill is involved when he’s not interested in fashion.
Bill Cracks the Whip
On the Monday, February 16, episode, Eric (John McCook, who said Eric’s health setback is not a rehashed storyline) felt the pressure. Bill (Don Diamont) told him that he had to deliver Logan’s debut collection ahead of deadline. All he could see was dollar signs, not fashion.
But fashion takes time. And Bill doesn’t understand that. He’s not a fashion designer. In fact, he mocks men like Eric and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), who spent most of their lives designing. He undermines their careers, minimizing them to mere “dressmakers.”
Arguably, Katie (Heather Tom) should be making the final call. It’s her fashion house, after all. Bill gifted it to her after they got married. But ever since they got it started up, Bill has been pulling the reins.
B&B Fans Call Out Bill For Intervening
Over on Reddit, B&B fans called out Bill’s behavior. Ironically, the thread is titled “The Problem With Eric Forrester.” Yet, some fans believe the problem stems from Bill. The original poster argued that Eric needed a better storyline, one that didn’t focus on his health or retirement.
Meanwhile, one fan asked about Bill, “Why is he so involved? I thought this was Katie’s project. She’s being way too tolerant of him butting in.”
Someone else responded, “Bill is being his typical self-controlling boss lol. He knows business doesn’t know fashion. Sadly for Katie, everything is run by Bill as he pays for it.” (Here’s why Bill and Eric are both wrong about Katie’s debut collection).
Another fan joked, “Now, he wants to be ‘the dressmaker?'” Someone else responded, “You can’t expect a couture line and buy cheap fabric without even consulting the designers. Bill is undermining the whole Logan success. Hire help, like Deke. Bring Hope over; get her away from Steffy.”
Viewers hoped that Katie would’ve hired Deke (Harrison Cone), so he could finally flex his fashion education. But he was overlooked, once again. What are your thoughts on this storyline? Let us know in the comments section below.
