The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Monday, December 4, reveals that Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) thought a party was the last thing Eric Forrester (John McCook) should be thinking about, so he complained to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).
When Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) walked in the CEO office and got updates on the gala, she worried this could be too much for Eric. Brooke was worried too, but she said Eric thought celebrating with his loved ones would be the best medicine.
After Ridge stepped out, Hope acknowledged that Brooke shared two children with Eric, who had always been her champion.
That left Hope wondering if Brooke could go to this party and pull off the charade of a lifetime, but Brooke knew she had to be strong for Eric.
It was heartbreaking to think of a world without Eric in it, so Brooke broke down in tears and accepted Hope’s comforting hug.
In the design office, Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) once again started ranting about how RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) was the golden child who got preferential treatment because he was Ridge and Brooke’s son.
Zende pointed out that RJ didn’t even go to design school and argued that RJ still had a lot to learn.
Although RJ insisted working with him was Granddad’s decision, Zende said to give him one good reason why Eric would want to work with RJ instead of him.
Ridge entered and declared that he could give Zende a reason. It was because RJ knew something that Zende didn’t – though he admitted maybe it was time for Zende to know the truth as well.
Ridge asked if Zende had noticed any changes in Eric recently, so Zende replied that he hadn’t and commented on the fact that Eric won the fashion challenge.
That’s when RJ explained that Ridge actually won and only let Eric think he emerged victorious. Zende was confused until Ridge finally confessed that Eric was dying.
Although Zende was in disbelief at first, Ridge insisted it was true. Zende teared up and talked about how Eric had accepted him from the moment he was first adopted into the family.
Zende wanted to see Eric right away, but Ridge shut down that idea and pushed him to keep what he knew a secret since Eric didn’t want the news to spread. After Zende agreed to keep quiet, he cried as Ridge pulled him into a warm embrace.
At the Forrester mansion on Monday’s B&B episode, Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) shook Eric and tried to wake him up. After Donna felt for a pulse, she started to call 911 until Eric grunted and got her attention.
Eric used an oxygen mask and assured Donna that he was fine, but she wanted him to go to the hospital. However, Eric refused and felt they had to speed up party plans instead since he didn’t have much time left.
Eric kept trying to joke around with Donna, who warned that she didn’t like it since his condition was serious.
Nevertheless, Eric urged Donna to smile for him since seeing her sad made him sad, too. It made Eric realize how much he was going to miss Donna, who cried in his arms.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Eric’s grand gala will move forward, so that’ll bring plenty of bittersweet moments. CDL’s the place to be for scorching Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, updates and news, so make us your top B&B source.
