What Happened on B&B
R.J. (Nicoletti) showed up at Forrester Creations. He had all the staff buzzing. The workers were amazed to see him again, especially after following his travels on social media.
Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) were in the showroom. R.J. walked in and cleared his throat. They were shocked to see him there. He was supposed to be in Patagonia.
R.J. said he wanted to surprise his parents. Brooke was thrilled that he was there and wanted to know if he was sticking around. He came back because his parents were back together.
Finally, his family was the way it was meant to be. Their conversation shifted to all the ladies that R.J. has been dating around the world. But he wanted to focus on his parents’ epic love story.
He recalled the moment when Ridge saved Brooke’s life. R.J. thanked his father for saving Brooke’s life. Ridge smiled at his son. It was a special moment for this family, who hadn’t been in touch since 2024.
Why It Matters to Brooke and Ridge
Brooke and Ridge would love nothing more than to have R.J. back with them. They would love it more if he went back to working at Forrester Creations alongside them. The last time R.J. was on the show, he worked alongside his grandfather, Eric (John McCook), who struggled with his health.
R.J. never saw a life for himself in the fashion industry. He was previously introduced as a famous social media influencer. Ridge asked R.J. if he would return to work and design for them again.
R.J. said he would think about it. He knew that Zende (Delon de Metz) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) were working on Hope for the Future again. Ridge mentioned working on couture with him.
His son was open to the idea. But he would rather it be a three-generational collaboration, rather than a two-generational one. R.J. was saddened by Eric’s retirement, which was not his own decision.
The Fallout: Eric Designs With Katie
Eric already popped out of his retirement. He wants to design for Katie’s (Heather Tom) new fashion house. He felt the energy, which made him want to return to doing what he loves.
Ridge will be irate once this news comes out. He’ll threaten to have a fashion duel with his own father. Ridge will likely encourage R.J. to work with him, while Katie could also use Deke’s (Harrison Cone) perspective to give the line a touch of youthfulness.
Looks like this fashion fight is about to get dirty with the golden child back home. Will R.J. stay and design with his father?
