B&B SPOILERS: ERIC’S “DISGUSTING” EXCUSE FOR RIDGE DUMPING TAYLOR HAS FANS READY TO RIOT!
TL;DR: Eric Forrester claims 60-year-old Brooke Logan needs “delicate treatment” and support to justify manipulating Ridge away from Taylor Hayes, causing viewer outrage and setting up Steffy’s return for potential rival fashion house storyline.
THE MOST SICKENING MANIPULATION IN B&B HISTORY?
Hold onto your remotes, soap fans, because what just went down on The Bold and the Beautiful has viewers ready to throw things at their TVs!
What’s Eric’s excuse for destroying Taylor’s happiness?
Eric Forrester insists that Brooke Logan, a grown 60-year-old woman, needs to be “supported, patted on her head and delicately treated” because she’s “been through so much” — specifically referencing Stephanie’s decades-old feud with her.
And this? THIS is why Taylor Hayes had to be thrown aside like yesterday’s garbage. Because poor, delicate flower Brooke apparently can’t function without Ridge holding her hand!
The fan reaction has been NUCLEAR. One viewer posted: “I had to repost that sentence from Eric, it seriously makes me sick.” They’re not alone — social media is EXPLODING with outrage over this pathetic excuse.
Does Brooke really need special protection?
No, and that’s what makes this so infuriating.
Let’s get real here. We’re talking about Brooke Logan — the woman who:
But suddenly she needs to be “patted on her head”? Give me a BREAK!
What’s even MORE disgusting? Stephanie and Brooke actually reconciled before Stephanie’s death. The Forrester matriarch literally died in Brooke’s arms after they became genuine friends! So Eric using their ancient feud as an excuse? It’s not just weak — it’s rewriting history!
Would Ridge have stayed with Taylor without interference?
Absolutely — and fans know it.
Here’s the kicker that’s really got viewers fuming: Ridge was HAPPY with Taylor until daddy dearest started his manipulation campaign!
The fan who sparked this discussion nailed it: “Had Eric and Katie left him alone, Ridge would have been happy and stayed with Taylor.”
And get this — Eric was actually Team Tridge after Brooke sided with Hope and Carter during the company takeover. But suddenly he’s forgotten ALL of that? Now Brooke is this fragile victim who needs constant coddling?
The hypocrisy is STAGGERING!
What’s Next for the Forrester Family?
Reading between the lines here, folks — this is about to get UGLY.
Steffy Forrester returns between September 22 and October 3, and she’s walking into a NIGHTMARE. Her grandfather manipulated her father into dumping her mother using the most insulting excuse imaginable.
Don’t be surprised if she raises absolute HELL to all three of them — Eric, Ridge, AND Brooke!
Given Brad Bell confirmed the show is “heading back to a two-battling fashion house way of storytelling,” this disgusting manipulation could be the catalyst for the Forrester civil war we’ve all been waiting for!
THE FAN VERDICT: RIDGE AND BROOKE DESERVE EACH OTHER
Here’s where it gets interesting…
The viewer who exposed this manipulation actually said something that’s resonating across the fandom: “I am very satisfied myself that Ridge is back with Brooke because those two narcissistic poor excuses for people deserve each other.”
OUCH! But honestly? After this pathetic display? They might have a point!
It’s one thing for Ridge to choose Brooke on his own. But having Eric FORCE it by infantilizing a 60-year-old woman while completely dismissing Taylor’s decades of pain and sacrifice?
Completely. Utterly. DISGUSTING.
