Katie Logan Spencer’s Plea

Bill loves that she cares for Eric so much. It’s been a dream working with him, Katie says. The woman doesn’t want him to risk his health, though.

The lady asks him to be mindful of Eric’s health. Bill promises he will be “mindful to a point.” 

Katie texts Donna Logan Forrester (Jennifer Gareis) but doesn’t get an answer. The lady decides to go check on things. Bill follows her.

Ridge Forrester’s Damage Control

Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) demand to know what’s going on. It seems like Eric has been designing an entire collection!

Eric says he’s being productive. Brooke is impressed with the sketches. Eric says he will design until the day he dies.

Ridge asks his father to make the designs part of the Couture line. Eric says no, they aren’t for him. LOL! Donna swears they aren’t hiding any kind of health scare.

Ridge tells his dad to come to Forrester Creations and show the younger ones his designs. Ridge then asks his father to come back to work. 

After Ridge apologizes and admits he was wrong, Eric softens. Ridge says Eric needs the right kind of silk, just like Eric told Bill. Eric would like to come back, but there’s a little problem.
