Will has created a stir on The Bold and the Beautiful. Young Mr. Spencer’s anger spiraled out of control, and unfortunately, Eric got caught in the middle. Now, Will’s actions have sparked a heated debate in the soap community.
Key Takeaways
- Eric accidentally got punched by Will when he tried to break up his and RJ’s brawl.
- Will’s actions have led to more tension between the Forresters and the Spencers.
- Fans are torn by Will’s actions towards Eric.
Did Eric Deserve The Hit From Will?
Will (Crew Morrow) is one angry young man. His anger started towards R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti), who’s been a thorn in his and Electra’s (Laneya Grace) relationship. Will has punched R.J. twice, which resulted in the Forresters, mainly Eric (John McCook), demanding that Electra stay away from him.
Tensions between the Forresters and the Spencers reached a fever pitch during the July 21st episode. When Electra arrived at the Bikini Bar with RJ and Eric, Will tried to talk to her alone. But RJ and Eric intervened, which infuriated Will.
After Will insulted Eric by calling him an “old man,” R.J. pushed him. It didn’t take long before the two men started brawling. When Eric tried to break up their fight, Will accidentally punched him.
B&B fans are left divided in the aftermath of Punch Gate. On the one hand, many felt Eric had it coming after he verbally attacked Katie (Heather Tom).
Eric’s behavior during the interview upset Will and made the Forrester patriarch appear less sympathetic. So, one could argue that Eric had what was coming to him.
However, Will’s anger has been spiraling out of control, and the punch to Eric went too far. Even if it was an accident, hitting an elderly person isn’t right, and it just made Will look bad.
Will Faces The Consequences
While fans are divided over the punch, the Forresters and Spencers will be in agreement that what Will did was wrong. Now, he’s going to have to face the consequences of his actions.
Will can say goodbye to his chances of reuniting with Electra. After witnessing him assaulting her uncle, Electra won’t have anything to do with Will.
Meanwhile, the fallout is going to cause more drama in the Forrester vs. Spencer feud and might finally shatter the Logan sisters forever. It could also impact Will’s relationship with his parents.
Katie and Bill (Don Diamont) encouraged their son to control his anger, but he disregarded their advice. As Bill works to do damage control, Katie is left wondering if anything can help her son.
Seeing the pain he caused everyone could motivate Will to get help for his anger. However, it’ll do little to ease the guilt he’ll have to live with.
