The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that on this week’s episodes Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) could be adding one more item to his heartbreak list. It’s clear that Ridge is having a rough year. He faced intense stress over the paternity secret, but it was all for naught in the end.
Thomas (Pierson Fode) has been pushing Ridge and Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) to let this secret out. He wants everyone to know that Douglas is his pride and joy. Thomas has even been trying to win Caroline over. He’d love the chance to muscle Ridge out and raise Douglas with Caroline.
After Ridge swallows his pride and admits the truth at work, it’s going to cause some controversy. Of course, Rick (Jacob Young) will want to take over Ridge’s job immediately. He feels like no one is fit for the throne except the great and powerful Rick Forrester.
The Bold and the Beautiful viewers have seen how Rick acts when he’s CEO. He tends to be impulsive and childish. Employee morale was at an all-time low when Rick was running the show. People hated Rick’s guts and were undoubtedly thrilled to see someone else take over.
With that in mind, will Eric (John McCook) really pass the baton back to Rick? We shouldn’t count it out, but Eric might decide to give someone else a chance. Thomas and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) will also express the desire to run the family business.
It appears Thomas doesn’t have the experience or qualifications to be CEO yet. He’s still trying to learn the ropes. However, it would be interesting to see how Ridge would handle having his son take Douglas AND his job. B&B fans would definitely want to watch the fallout!
Nevertheless, Steffy could be emerging as the top candidate for Ridge’s replacement. After all, Steffy is already the president of Forrester Creations. She’s been working hard and a promotion might be in order. Steffy has a fierce side and that can be very useful in the corporate world.
We don’t know for sure what Eric will decide, but he’ll make his choice on Thursday and he’ll share a warm chat with Steffy on Friday. Since Eric seems to be singling Steffy out after his decision, that might mean it’s the requisite CEO pep talk. Eric could be guiding Steffy on how to proceed as the new leader of Forrester Creations.
Regardless, The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Eric will mention how similar Steffy is to Stephanie (Susan Flannery). He’ll point out all of the fantastic qualities that make Steffy and her namesake so much alike. Steffy will appreciate Eric’s kind words and she’ll hope that she can make Stephanie proud.
Will Steffy be FC’s new head honcho? Time will tell, but the news that his daughter is in charge might soften the blow for Ridge. We’ll give you updates on how this plays out. Stay tuned to B&B and don’t forget to check CDL often for the latest Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, updates and news.
