Bold and the Beautiful: Eric’s Twitch Turns Ridge into Monster?

Bold and the Beautiful has a very adamant Ridge Forrester giving the order to terminate Eric Forrester‘s life support, but a slight twitch of his eye becomes a game changer on the CBS soap.

The dutiful son suddenly becomes somewhat of a monster in the eyes of the fans, and likely those in the hospital room. His fast-track termination move came too soon for B&B viewers.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Eric Forrester Hears Ridge Forrester’s Plan?

Eric Forrester (John McCook) remained unresponsive as his family members said goodbye one by one. Next, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) motioned for Finn to push that button. But, the flutter of Eric’s eyes stopped John Finnegan (Tanner Novlan).

Finn heard the excited voices from those in the room, this week on Bold and the Beautiful. They witnessed what looked like a slight response from Eric.

So, did Eric hear Ridge’s plan playing out, with everyone taking turns saying goodbye? That may be what caused his eyes to flutter.

Everyone in the room took this as a sign that the Forrester patriarch was holding on. But maybe not Ridge. It appears Eric Forrester attempted to let his family members know he’s still with them.

B&B Spoilers: Ridge Makes Snap Decision

Bold and the Beautiful dropped a hint even before Ridge Forrester nodded to Finn to push the button that would end Eric Forrester’s life. Too many people were missing from his bedside for this to be the Forrester patriarch’s final scene.

Ridge seemed in such a hurry to get the deed done that he went no further with notifications than the chosen few in the room. These were the only people who got a chance to say so long to Eric.

We agree that Ridge has a medical power of attorney and that he carries the wishes of Eric but he is already acting too quickly & he is not calling his brothers and sisters who should be there

But what about his other children and grandchildren? Bold and Beautiful fans saw this as a selfish act on Ridge’s part. Even if he was letting his dad go to abide by his wishes, why the urgency?

Sure, Ridge talked a good game, reminding Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) of Eric’s wishes. He brought up how Eric said he didn’t want any experimental treatment or to stay alive by machines. But now it seems Ridge Forrester is in an extreme hurry to get the show on the road.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Eric Wakes Up

Sometimes people wake up from a coma remembering what their loved ones said to them. But at the time, they were unable to move a muscle to respond. So, maybe this is what B&B has in store for Eric Forrester.

It’s possible this urgency to pull the plug on Eric was enough to stir him back to consciousness, if only for a second or two.

Now that Ridge’s family has seen that spark of life surface, Ridge Forrester likely has a battle on his hands this week on Bold and the Beautiful.

Eric Forrester might not come out of it right away. So, the family likely fights to stop Ridge from pulling the plug.

Or, the adamant son could stand his ground and insist on unplugging his father. But that doesn’t mean Eric has to die. He could still have enough strength to kick in on his own.

B&B Spoilers: Anger Over the Elite Gathering?

When the other family members get word of the interrupted sendoff by the chosen few, it’s likely feathers get ruffled. How dare Ridge Forrester decide to pull the plug on Eric Forrester without letting his other loved ones say their farewells.

So, it looks like Eric has some life left in him on The Bold and the Beautiful. And now that his family sees this, they likely look at Ridge as the ogre who was ready to let him go so quickly.

Plus, if Eric Forrester does wake up, he might look at his son a bit differently after he tried to fast-track his termination. Or he could be the one to save his son from persecution by insisting Ridge Forrester was just following his wishes on the CBS soap.
