“YOU’RE NOT MY SON!” ERIC DROPS A BRUTAL TRUTH, DESTROYS RIDGE AND THROWS HIM OUT OF FORRESTERS!
Explosive drama is shaking The Bold and the Beautiful as the week of December 15 promises emotional blowups, shocking returns, and power struggles that could permanently fracture the Forrester family. At the center of it all is Eric Forrester, whose simmering resentment toward his son Ridge finally threatens to boil over—with devastating consequences.
One of the most anticipated moments is the return of Thomas Forrester. Fresh off Douglas’s appearance at Hope and Liam’s wedding, Thomas heads straight back to Los Angeles with a clear purpose. In a tense preview, he storms into the Forrester Creations showroom and declares that this is where he belongs. His timing couldn’t be worse—or more strategic. With the company already divided, Thomas wants his old role back as Hope for the Future’s lead designer.
That demand immediately creates a problem. Hope has moved on professionally and is thriving with Dee Sharp as her designer. Dee’s fresh perspective has reinvigorated the line, and Hope values the creative energy they share. However, Steffy and Ridge are firmly in Thomas’s corner, insisting that family comes first. Steffy bluntly tells Hope she can’t refuse to work with Thomas simply because he makes her uneasy. Hope, trapped between personal boundaries and corporate pressure, is left facing an impossible choice.
Meanwhile, Dee’s future at Forrester Creations suddenly looks uncertain. If Thomas reclaims his position, someone has to be pushed aside. Whispers suggest Katie Logan’s brand-new fashion house—courtesy of Bill Spencer—could become a lifeline for displaced talent. Katie’s new venture is already shaping up to be a serious rival to Forrester Creations, and she may be more than happy to poach rising stars.
As romantic celebrations fade, darker clouds gather. Deacon Sharpe is about to learn the truth about Sheila Carter’s near appearance at Hope’s wedding. Although Sheila didn’t cause a scene, Taylor was deeply rattled by her presence. Once Deacon hears how close Sheila came to crashing his daughter’s big day, their fragile relationship could implode yet again.
But the most devastating storyline belongs to Eric and Ridge. Eric is furious over Ridge’s attempt to force him into retirement, especially after the humiliating surprise retirement party. What Ridge thought was an act of care felt like a betrayal to the man who founded Forrester Creations. Unbeknownst to Ridge, Eric has been secretly designing a new collection, dreaming of a triumphant return to the runway.
Ridge continues to insist that Eric step aside for the sake of his health, even blocking his father’s designs and refusing to allow a runway show. To Eric, it feels like being erased from his own legacy. Pushed into a corner, the fashion icon begins to consider a bold and shocking move: launching his own fashion house. With his wealth, experience, and industry connections, Eric doesn’t need his son’s permission—and he may soon become Ridge’s fiercest competitor.
The tension escalates as harsh words are exchanged behind closed doors. Some spoilers hint at an unforgivable outburst, with Eric allegedly telling Ridge, “You’re not my son,” cutting him off emotionally and professionally. Whether said in rage or heartbreak, those words could permanently shatter their bond.
Fans are divided. Some believe Ridge is protecting his father from dangerous stress, remembering how close Eric came to death not long ago. Others argue Ridge is power-hungry, unwilling to share the spotlight with the very man who built the empire. Social media is buzzing with speculation that Steffy could use her shares to side with Eric, tipping the balance of power at Forrester Creations.
Adding to the chaos, wedding fever continues to sweep Los Angeles. Bill Spencer’s surprise proposal to Katie stunned guests, and rumors swirl that Will Spencer may soon propose to Electra Forrester. If that happens, fans suspect it could lure Luna Nozawa out of hiding—assuming she’s still alive. Many believe her death was staged, and news of Will moving on could send her spiraling back into town.
Amid all this turmoil, Thomas may become the unexpected key to peace. Both Eric and Ridge love him deeply, and spoilers suggest Thomas could use that bond to try and heal the rift between father and son. Whether he brings reconciliation or fuels the fire remains to be seen.
One thing is certain: with rival fashion houses rising, loyalties shifting, and bitter words threatening to destroy the Forrester dynasty, The Bold and the Beautiful is heading into one of its most intense and emotionally charged chapters yet.
