Question 1: Does Eric Furiously Slap Ridge and Demand That He Fire RJ?
An explosive family confrontation could change everything at Forrester Creations on The Bold and the Beautiful.
Eric has finally reached his breaking point after discovering that Zende refuses to return to the company.
He believes Ridge’s constant favoritism toward RJ has destroyed Zende’s confidence and pushed him away from the Forrester family.
Determined to fix the situation, Eric confronts Ridge and demands that he take responsibility for losing one of their most talented designers.
However, Ridge refuses to accept the blame.
He insists that RJ deserves his position and that Zende is overreacting.
Eric becomes absolutely furious.
Unable to control his anger, he suddenly slaps Ridge across the face.
Ridge is completely stunned by his father’s unexpected reaction.
But Eric isn’t finished.
He delivers one shocking ultimatum.
Ridge must fire RJ immediately if he wants Zende to return to Forrester Creations.
Question 2: Will Ridge Sacrifice His Own Son to Bring Zende Back to Forrester?
Ridge can hardly believe that Eric is demanding he fire his own son.
He desperately argues that RJ has worked hard and should not be punished for Zende’s decision to leave.
But Eric refuses to listen.
He warns that Forrester Creations could lose even more talented designers if Ridge continues putting RJ ahead of everyone else.
Meanwhile, Zende learns about Eric’s shocking ultimatum and becomes deeply emotional.
He never expected his grandfather to defend him so fiercely.
However, Zende insists that firing RJ may not be enough to repair the damage.
Things become even more explosive when RJ overhears Eric’s demands.
He angrily confronts his grandfather, accusing him of choosing Zende over his own family.
But Eric refuses to back down.
Will Ridge finally fire RJ to bring Zende home, or will Eric’s shocking ultimatum destroy the Forrester family forever?
