The Bold and the Beautiful: Ridge Confront RJ Over Keeping Eric’s Health A Secret
On the October 26, 2023 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, everyone were getting ready for the fashion event scheduled for the next day. The special guest Lauren and Esther form The Young and the Restless were at the office. Lauren was closely watching, especially after hearing Eric’s comment about his ‘grand finale.’ While, Esther was really excited about the fashion and meeting Ridge. On the other hand, RJ was adjusting to being a polite host. Although he had attended his family’s launches before, it was his first time as a designer. Everything was going well until Eric started coughing suddenly.
Donna made Eric admit he was dying, and RJ couldn’t believe it. After getting over his surprise and disbelief about Eric having only a few months left, RJ told his grandfather to tell everyone, especially Ridge. He thought Ridge should know about his father’s health. However, Eric stayed firm and didn’t want to share his diagnosis with anyone. He preferred to concentrate on staying alive, which meant putting all his focus on the fashion showdown. This was really unfair to RJ. Donna found it difficult, but she knew about Eric coughing up blood, while RJ only knew about the tremors.
RJ has always been loyal to his grandfather, even when Ridge questioned him about the fashion showdown he did not disclose Eric’s secret. Revealing this shocking news to RJ right before the fashion showdown and making him promise to keep it a secret is unacceptable. RJ has always been faithful to Eric, even when it means being stuck between his grandfather and his father. Asking him to keep this secret while he has to act confident at the fashion show is too hard. RJ will probably find it really tough to handle all this pressure soon on The Bold and the Beautiful.
But have you wondered how Ridge will react when he will find out about his father’s grave illness? Top of that how would he react if he discovers that RJ knew everything but kept it under wrap? We all know that RJ didn’t hide it on purpose, Eric asked him to keep it quiet. But Ridge won’t be open to understanding this. When he hears that Eric is very sick, he’ll be extremely worried and won’t be able to listen to anyone, especially someone who kept such important news hidden.
Ridge will strongly think that RJ purposefully hid the information, causing a big fight between them. Ridge, feeling very emotional, will get angry at RJ for not telling the news earlier. He’ll accuse RJ, and his feelings will make him not think clearly, making him act unreasonably. Even though RJ tries to explain, Ridge, driven by emotions, won’t understand the real story. RJ will feel upset and defensive, thinking Ridge didn’t respect Eric. Their argument will get worse and more intense.
Will RJ and Ridge find a way to bridge the gap torn open by Eric’s secret? Or will this revelation irreparably damage the Forrester family dynamics? Comment down below and let us know what you feel.
