Bold and the Beautiful explodes as Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) are on fire because Eric Forrester (John McCook) got punched. And on top of that, Ridge and Brooke blame the Spencers and Hope for everything that’s going wrong in their personal and professional lives.
We hear it over and over. Ridge already said once that he would take care of things, and that’s when he went over and punched Bill Spencer (Don Diamont). And now Ridge is talking about putting a stop to Logan once and for all. We’re going to talk about what Ridge and Brooke do next, trying to take down the competition.
Bold and the Beautiful: The Forresters Gang Up on Will
The Forresters, as you’ve seen, are all freaking out over Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) punching Eric, even though it was an accident and it was in the middle of a confrontation that R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) started and Eric exacerbated by insulting Will’s dad. And that is on top of Eric saying nasty things about Katie and Hope and Bill in that messy interview. So, there’s no way Ridge is going to just let it go that his dad was hit and neither will Brooke. And Eric, of course, keeps perpetuating the lies about how he came to be at Logan.
And this is all honestly just the tip of the iceberg. I expect Ridge and Brooke are going to want some serious revenge. Ridge was horrified to hear that Eric was punched by Will. And of course, R.J. and Eric are going to make it out like Will just attacked them out of the blue when R.J. was the one who started the physical altercation. But it’s hard for Ridge to look at his elderly dad bruised up and not freak out because Will did give Eric a nasty shiner and he also hit his head on that table.
And then of course R.J. sucker punched Will and then Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) delivered the kill shot and told Will that she will never ever get back together with him. She’s like totally quoting Taylor Swift. So R.J. and Electra bring Eric home and then we’re going to see Ridge and Brooke and Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) fussing over him even though Eric’s telling everybody he’s fine.
Forrester’s Revenge Plot on B&B
And then Katie Logan (Heather Tom) shows up because Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) texted her an alert that Will hit Eric. So, of course, she’s freaking out about that. And Katie comes over to the Forrester mansion to check on Eric. Plus, Bold and the Beautiful spoilers confirm that Brooke is totally outraged during this discussion that turns into a confrontation. And she tells Katie that she’s awful for wanting this war. Then Brooke tells Katie she is no longer a part of this family, which will absolutely shock and devastate Katie.
And this incident with Eric, of course, is going to push everything over the top. After he got smacked, Ridge and Brooke are going to want some revenge. Not only will they want some form of justice for Eric. But we know they want to see Logan go broke and out of business. Because they can’t handle the competition. And Brooke and Ridge are going to want to punish Katie and Will and most of all, Bill Spencer.
Bold and Beautiful: Steffy Replaces Hope
So, the most important thing that I think is going to come out of this is professional consequences. I could see Ridge, Brooke, and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) deciding to use the Hope for the Future designs that are sitting on the shelf. Of course, they can’t call it Hope for the Future since she’s gone, but they could poke at Hope and Katie by launching a new collection, maybe under Steffy’s name. A line like “The Future of Forrester” to show that they’re putting Hope behind them even though they are designs that she consulted on and was the muse for.
Because Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) made the designs, Forrester owns them. So, they’re free to do whatever they want with them.
Pressure Tactics and Family Divisions on B&B
Another thing that we might see is Ridge insists that Eric needs to call the cops and press charges on Will for Eric’s assault. There were plenty of witnesses at Bikini Bar that saw what happened. Even though R.J. instigated it, the cops would probably see bruised old guy Eric and then go arrest Will.
I will say that Eric threw out what is legally considered to be fighting words. So those are direct personal insults that are intended to provoke a violent reaction in somebody and that could mitigate any criminal charges. But if you remember, he told Will, “Go home to your dad. Go home to your low-life father where you belong.”
That was a really rotten thing for Eric to say, and that was after the cruel things he said about Katie and Hope in the interview. But even with Eric saying that, Will didn’t intend to hit him. But Ridge might push to have Eric go make a statement to the police and press charges.
Bold and the Beautiful: The Forresters Pressure Electra
Another thing is I expect Ridge, Eric, and Brooke to exert pressure on Electra. Now, she’s already told Will they’ll never be together. But I think the next thing is Ridge and the others will tell Electra she needs to move on with R.J.
We’ve seen Eric and Ridge boss Electra around about dumping Will. So, they might do it again in another direction. You know, even though Electra permanently called it quits with Will and she does truly seem done, that doesn’t mean she’s going to want to jump into something with R.J. right away.
In reality, Electra should take the time to grieve the end of her relationship with Will. Because he was her first love. But I don’t think R.J. is going to waste any time. I think he’s going to be all over Electra to officially date him and be his girlfriend.
And I can definitely see Brooke and Ridge and Eric pressuring Electra to give into that. In their minds, Will is poo on their shoe and R.J. is this golden boy, the best guy in the whole world.
Both Eric and Ridge already told Electra she couldn’t see or talk to Will. We’ve already seen them telling Electra who she can’t date. So, I could see Ridge and Electra telling Electra who she should date. And of course, R.J. would be really happy to rub it in Will’s face that he and Electra are together.
PR Warfare and Family Betrayal on Bold
Another thing we could see with Brooke and Ridge’s revenge plan is a public relations strategy. They’re angry and they’re threatened by Spencer Publications having so much power in the press. So, Ridge and Steffy might tell their external PR agency to start hitting back at Logan.
They might go after influencers and celebrities and ask them to heavily and publicly endorse Forrester Creations and Eric’s new couture line. Even better, if Ridge can have the PR firm get those same people to publicly diss Logan, that’d be great.
They can try and make Logan look like Walmart compared to Forrester Creations looking more like Saks Fifth Avenue. I think Ridge, Steffy, Eric, Brooke, all the Foresters are going to do everything in their power to keep up that accusation that Logan is a knockoff factory.
Eric said it in his interview, and I can see Ridge and Brooke running with that and using PR efforts to perpetuate that mindset. Now, one last thing I could see is something that’s a little more personal in the Forrester versus Spencer war.
Brooke Kicks Hope Out of the Family on B&B
After Brooke tells Katie this week that she’s no longer part of the family, Brooke may do that to her own daughter. We know she feels like Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) betrayed her by going to work with her aunt.
So, Brooke might tell Hope that as long as she is working with Katie and is over at Logan and living with the Spencers, she’s not part of the family either. Brooke may completely carve Katie and Hope out of the family. And of course, her nephew will as well.
This war between the Foresters and Spencers has gotten really bad already. And I do think that the Foresters are going to strike back very soon. And honestly, I can’t wait to see what they do.
