Daring and the Stunning reveals Eric Forrester (John McCook) strolling out of Forrester Creations as a result of Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) compelled him into retirement. However I don’t suppose Eric is finished. I’m fairly certain he’s going to blindside Ridge along with his subsequent transfer.
We’re going to speak about what Eric will do after Ridge pulled this disrespectful transfer on him. I anticipate Eric might blindside his son by beginning his personal style home and conceal what he’s doing till it blows up in Ridge’s face.
Ridge’s Misguided Try and Retire a Legend on Daring and the Stunning
Eric informed Ridge he had extra to offer and that he was nonetheless designing daily, however Ridge simply wouldn’t hearken to Eric. We noticed Ridge occurring and on about how persevering with to work will kill Eric. Right here’s some enjoyable science. Do you know that retiring negatively impacts the well being and psychological acuity of seniors? As a result of as soon as the job is gone, until there’s some sort of substitute exercise, like volunteer work, you lose drive, you lose objective, you will have decrease exercise ranges. And the danger of coronary heart assault goes up by 40% within the first 12 months that seniors retire. There’s some arduous science for y’all.
So, Ridge is sort of being a jerk. It’s not like Eric’s out laying bricks or driving a semi-truck. He’s sketching. He’s holding a pencil. However when he noticed that Ridge wouldn’t budge, Eric simply gave up. He walked out. And I feel when he turned off the Forrester Creations lights within the showroom, it was an indication of the lights going off in Eric’s life. However I feel different lights are going to return on.
Eric’s Secret Plans on B&B: A New Trend Home on the Horizon?
With Ridge pushing him out, Eric sees FC as simply this burned-out mild in his previous. The excellent news is, I don’t suppose he’s going to let what Ridge did cease him. Keep in mind, Eric informed his spouse, Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis), that he’s taking his designs with him and that Ridge received’t get to see them. I feel that’s vital. And I feel Daring did that for a purpose. Plus, Eric took his iconic stapler with him. And I believe that would find yourself on a brand new desk at a brand new style home. He’s going to stun and blindside Ridge with what he does subsequent.
Clearly, Eric can’t reverse this choice. And he can’t power Ridge to maintain him as a result of between Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wooden) and Ridge, they outvote Eric. But in addition keep in mind that Steffy stated these designs have been the very best she’s ever seen her granddad Eric do. He stated he felt like he was actually coming into his personal as a designer, even at this superior age. Steffy and Finn (Tanner Novlan) talked in regards to the superb couture sketches that Eric was planning to current to Ridge, however Finn additionally agrees Eric must retire.
Legendary Designers: Eric Forrester’s Subsequent Chapter
Properly, I disagree. Loads of designers work till their deaths. Gloria Vanderbilt did it. Coco Chanel did it. Two of many, many examples. Plenty of artists work till their dying day. So, I don’t suppose that Eric goes to take this mendacity down, however Ridge pushing him out goes to hit Eric arduous. I feel there’s going to be slightly little bit of being down. After which I feel there’s going to be a restoration. I don’t suppose that is going to cease him long-term. I anticipate him to show Ridge a lesson about longevity, expertise, and creativity.
So, I feel Eric would possibly secretly begin his personal design home. And perhaps we’re going to see Invoice Spencer (Don Diamont) spend money on it as a result of Eric would possible deliver Katie Logan (Heather Tom) with him as a result of she’s disgruntled too. Or she would possibly go forward and depart Forrester. And then Eric approaches her. I feel he may secretly recruit many key individuals away from Ridge and Forrester Creations.
Assembling a Dream Workforce: Who Will Be a part of Eric’s Revolt on Daring and the Stunning?
Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) loves her uncle Eric far more than she likes Ridge. I feel she would positively comply with Eric out the door and convey Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) along with her. And if Electra and Katie go, nicely, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) goes to comply with. As for Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz), I are likely to suppose he’d be staff Eric over staff Ridge. And Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) actually doesn’t like what Ridge did to Eric, so the Home of Forrester would possibly lose their glamorous scent designer, too.
Now, I don’t suppose Eric would strategy Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). And I don’t suppose he would go as a result of that’s Ridge’s finest buddy. However, we may have Invoice as the first investor, if for no different purpose than to tick off Ridge. Then Eric makes use of this assortment to launch their new style home in excessive type.
He would possibly even maintain it a secret so Ridge wouldn’t see it coming. That’d be the very best factor to do. We may even see these individuals moonlighting for Eric’s new firm, after which when it formally launches, they plan to do a walkout of Forrester Creations. It could be sort of superb to see Ridge handed his butt like that. I imply, he must be checked, in my humble opinion.
Will Daring and the Stunning Ship on This Epic Rivalry?
That being stated, Brad Bell usually builds issues up so that you suppose there’s going to be a giant battle coming, after which he wusses out. That is simply very typical of his writing to wuss out. The newest instance was when Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) got here again to confront Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge for breaking Taylor Hayes’ (Rebecca Budig) coronary heart, however after two minutes of confrontation, Thomas caved and gave Brooke his blessing and a hug. It was so lame. So, I simply hope that each one the hints that they’re dropping about Eric being removed from completed really come to fruition and he crushes Ridge. It’d be cool for Eric (John McCook) to name it “Forrester Traditional,” or they might name it “ForSpencer” like a smoosh title.
Steffy did say that Eric’s newest assortment is flawless, and Steffy puzzled if issues would have gone in a different way had Ridge seen Eric’s designs. However Ridge received’t get the prospect to see them as a result of Eric was annoyed that he had no selection however to go, and he took his designs with him. So, the primary time Ridge might even see them might be on a runway at a style present.
The Final Trend Showdown: Eric’s Grand Reveal on B&B
Plus, in the event that they did spin off into one other design agency, it will be additionally superb in the event that they introduced again Thomas to assist his granddad. It’d be actually wild if Eric put all this collectively, assembled the gathering, and launched the brand new agency with Katie utilizing her PR magic. They might tease the launch as the brand new style home of a legendary icon and visionary. She may construct lots of buzz across the reveal of the designer, solely they’d maintain it secret till Eric walked out alongside the showstopper, presumably with Donna sporting it.
And naturally, in the event that they went this route, Ridge, Steffy, Brooke, and Carter can be despatched front-row tickets to the launch of this mysterious new style home. Steffy might acknowledge the designs once they begin coming down the catwalk as a result of she was the one one who noticed them earlier than Eric took the sketches. Steffy might need an “oh my gosh” aha second proper earlier than the massive reveal when Eric walks down the runway and is launched because the thriller designer that simply made the splashiest style home debut that the trade has ever seen. Ridge’s jaw would drop. I’d like to see Eric say that he’s removed from completed, after which Ridge has to eat his phrases. I imply, finally, they might even merge the 2 Forrester style homes. However what Daring and the Stunning has been lacking for some time is a style rivalry.
A Vacation Truce Earlier than the Storm?
The Forresters are all doing Christmas at Eric’s home, so I feel he’s nonetheless going to be licking his wounds. I feel he’ll play good with Ridge and Brooke over the vacations. However as soon as the brand new 12 months rolls round, I anticipate Eric to get to work on a plan that may stun not simply Ridge and Brooke, however the entire style world. And if Brad Bell doesn’t do that, then he has dropped the ball fully.
