Why are you working here when you could be working at the office?<\/p>\n<p>Eric: Brooke, I&#8217;m determined to go through with my final collection and this is the way I wanna do it. No one&#8217;s gonna stop me. Not even Ridge.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thomas: You know, I gotta say, your eye, the detail, it&#8217;s inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Well, I learned from my dad. And now, you get to learn from me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carter: Thank you, Mr. Lombardi. Yes, sales got your pre-order for Ridge&#8217;s new couture collection. We appreciate it very much. Yes, I understand your desire for an exclusivity clause. Look, if you&#8217;re serious, I need you to increase the offer threefold before I bring it to my team.<\/p>\n<p>[ Quietly ] Yes! That&#8217;s great. Yeah, we&#8217;ll be in touch. It&#8217;s always a pleasure. Ciao.<\/p>\n<p>Katie: Ciao? Ciao? Oh, I love it when you talk business. It&#8217;s so sexy. Ridge&#8217;s latest collection. Have you seen any of the designs?<\/p>\n<p>Carter: Got a peek at a few.<\/p>\n<p>Katie: Ooh. So have I. I&#8217;m kinda blown away. I think this might be his finest collection yet.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ridge: Well, that works great.<\/p>\n<p>Petra: Sloan and I agree. This collection, you seem more inspired than ever. Could it be because you and Brooke have reunited?<\/p>\n<p>Sloan: Is that your secret, Ridge?<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: All right. Thank you for your work today, ladies.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: I gotta say, they&#8217;re right. You know, I haven&#8217;t seen you this motivated or inspired in a while.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Well, Brooke has that effect on me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brooke: RJ, when your father finds out you&#8217;re designing, he&#8217;ll be beside himself. But Eric, I don&#8217;t understand any of this. What is all this talk about a big, solo collection and Ridge not stopping you?<\/p>\n<p>Eric: I&#8217;m determined, Brooke. I&#8217;m gonna do this. I have one last collection in me and I&#8217;m gonna do it with my grandson. You know, I miss this. I miss&#8230; I miss all of this. You know, I need it. The times when I go into the office and I think people don&#8217;t see me at all. They don&#8217;t see me at all for who&#8211; for who I am. And I will not be shelved. Certainly not by my own son.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Katie: Well, I&#8217;m not surprised that Ridge is completely on point and it&#8217;s a good thing. Couture has always been the backbone of Forrester Creations.<\/p>\n<p>Carter: Yeah. I mean, Hope For The Future, you know&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Katie: Yeah, but we can&#8217;t abandon what Forrester Creations has been built on and that&#8217;s couture.<\/p>\n<p>Carter: Mm. And all because of Eric. I mean, couture is a reflection of his creativity, his design sensibilities. I can&#8217;t imagine this place without him.<\/p>\n<p>Katie: Sure, yeah, I mean, I agree with that, but the passing of the baton has been going on for a while now. I was talking to Brooke and she seems to think that Ridge feels like Eric should take a step back. You know, enjoy his time with Donna.<\/p>\n<p>Carter: Really?<\/p>\n<p>Katie: Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Carter: He didn&#8217;t&#8211; he didn&#8217;t say that to me. I can&#8217;t imagine Eric retiring anytime soon.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thomas: Seems your muse is working. Petra and the models see it. We all do. And, uh, I gotta say, if what you&#8217;re saying is true, that it&#8217;s being back together with Brooke that&#8217;s creating all of this, well then, I&#8217;m all for it and it&#8217;s good to know that Forrester&#8217;s in great hands.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Well, I&#8217;m not sure your grandfather agrees.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: Uh, why would he not?<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: I know he&#8217;s proud of me and that means a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: Well, I can relate to that.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: But things have been, um&#8230; a little complicated.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: Complicated how?<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Well, I think your grandfather thinks I wanna push him out of the company.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Eric: Now, Brooke, I thought that Ridge would have opened up to you about this. I mean, since you&#8217;re back together again.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Opened up about what?<\/p>\n<p>Eric: All of this. The way he&#8217;s been talking to me. How he feels about me these days. He&#8217;s been talking down to me, he&#8217;s been insulting me. Even arrogant. And he&#8217;s treating me like some dinosaur.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: No, Eric, that is not true. You know Ridge. He loves you. He looks up to you. He admires you. Yes, he does. He&#8217;s concerned about you. You&#8217;ve been working long and hard at this company for so many years. It&#8217;s time for you just to relax. Maybe you could just take some time off, take it easy, enjoy yourself, spend some time with Donna. Donna would like that, right, honey?<\/p>\n<p>Donna: I&#8230; I want what Eric wants.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: And right now, that is to create his final collection.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Well, I don&#8217;t have a problem with that and I appreciate the fact that you brought RJ in on this and RJ, you are learning from the best. That&#8217;s for sure. And Eric, why the secrecy? Why? Why leave Ridge out of this? You two have worked together for so long.<\/p>\n<p>Eric: I don&#8217;t want him to do it with me. I don&#8217;t want that. Now, I know there&#8217;s gonna come a time when it&#8217;s appropriate for me to&#8230; to stop and to give up the reins to somebody else, but not now. Not now. I have one good collection left in me and here it is and I&#8217;m gonna do it. It&#8217;s gonna be the best collection of my life. It&#8217;s mine, nobody else&#8217;s. It&#8217;s mine.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Carter: Eric&#8217;s still a vital, creative part of Forrester Creations.<\/p>\n<p>Katie: Yeah, of course, but I don&#8217;t know, maybe Brooke is right. Eric should step away from all that responsibility and just enjoy himself.<\/p>\n<p>Carter: That sounds like retirement to me and that&#8217;s the furthest thing from Eric&#8217;s mind. No, no, no. Plus, we still need him here.<\/p>\n<p>Katie: Okay, you&#8217;re right, but playing devil&#8217;s advocate, Eric can&#8217;t go on designing forever and there&#8217;s a whole generation of Forresters waiting in the wings. You know, you&#8217;ve got Ridge, of course, and then Thomas, Steffy, Zende, maybe even RJ. I just&#8211; I hope they have a very comprehensive succession plan in place. I mean, not just for the sake of the company, but for Eric and Ridge&#8217;s relationship as father and son.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thomas: No, Dad. I actually have a hard time thinking that Granddad would ever believe you&#8217;re trying to make him obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: I have a hard time with that too, son, but, um, we&#8217;ve just had some strange exchanges lately.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: Okay, like, creative differences? You didn&#8217;t start arguing?<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: No. It&#8217;s not even that. It&#8217;s not even creative &#8217;cause we don&#8217;t work together. It&#8217;s been years since we worked together. Maybe we should. Maybe that would help. I don&#8217;t know. It wasn&#8217;t about that. It was&#8230; we were just talking, you know, and I said maybe it&#8217;s time for you to step back from this great thing that you&#8217;ve built. He built this for all of us, right? It&#8217;s amazing and you&#8217;ve&#8211; you&#8217;ve put in so much work and it was hard and now, maybe it&#8217;s time for you to take a break. You know what I&#8217;m saying. I mean, look, you just said, I&#8217;m okay running this. My great son has said I&#8217;m okay doing this by myself.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: 100%. But, I mean, it&#8217;s not like I don&#8217;t understand a little bit of where Granddad is coming from &#8217;cause, I mean, this is&#8211; this is his creation, right? Like, it feels like an extension of himself.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: What?<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: I don&#8217;t know. You think you know somebody. Hm. Some good times in here, huh? Being a kid climbing all over this thing.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: [ Chuckles ] Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: But I don&#8217;t&#8211; I don&#8217;t know if you remember, but Dad had a stapler on his desk. 20 years ago, at least.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: And somebody threw it out. I don&#8217;t know if it was me. I don&#8217;t know. I don&#8217;t remember. But apparently, it, uh, it meant a lot to him.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: Wow, I mean, that&#8217;s&#8211; that&#8217;s, uh, that&#8217;s too bad.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Yeah. Yeah, what&#8217;s too bad is that he doesn&#8217;t think that I threw out his stapler because it was broken. He&#8211; he thinks it&#8217;s me telling him he shouldn&#8217;t be working anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: Wow. I&#8211; I&#8211; I don&#8217;t know. I guess I have a hard time understanding that.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Me too, but here we are. You know, all I want is for my father to&#8211; to enjoy these years, to be happy, to go do stuff and you know what? Truth be told, I&#8217;m running this place. I&#8217;m running it because he asked me to.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Brooke: I&#8217;m not really following this. You&#8217;re saying that you want this line to be entirely yours, but you&#8217;re having RJ work on it with you, so why not have Ridge&#8217;s help too?<\/p>\n<p>Eric: I don&#8217;t want Ridge&#8217;s help. I don&#8217;t want him to do it with me. I don&#8217;t want Ridge to be with me and start shoving me aside.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Oh, Eric. That&#8217;s not what he&#8217;s doing.<\/p>\n<p>Eric: That is what he&#8217;s doing, Brooke! That is what he&#8217;s doing! Now, when I started this business, when I started Forrester Creations, every collection was me alone. My first one and collection after collection, me alone by myself and I&#8217;m gonna do it again. Ridge needs to be at the top of his game and you tell him that. You tell him that because I&#8217;m coming for him.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Thomas: [ Chuckles ] Remember those words, Dad, because one day, it&#8217;ll be time for you to step down.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Hm. I know. It&#8217;s gonna be a tough day. It&#8217;s gonna be hard. I&#8217;m gonna be sad, but then I&#8217;m gonna see you standing there to takeover and it&#8217;s gonna make me happy.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas: I don&#8217;t know. I mean, it&#8211; I think Steffy already beat me to that.<\/p>\n<p>[ Thomas laughing ]<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: That&#8217;s what she&#8217;s thinking. Hey. I&#8217;m proud of you kids. You worked hard, really hard. And so did your granddad. Look at what he did. Look what he built for us. We get to play and&#8211; and make things because of what he did for years and years. We got to drive nice cars, wear nice suits. And I wanna be respectful, I do, but right now, this is my vision. As long as I&#8217;m here, the future of this company is what I want.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Donna: I love how passionate you are about all of this and I&#8217;m behind you 100%, but getting all worked up like this is really not good for you.<\/p>\n<p>Eric: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Donna: All this tension with you and Ridge, and you. I&#8211; I don&#8217;t want to see you stuck in the middle like this.<\/p>\n<p>Eric: Is that how you feel? RJ, you feel stuck in the middle? Do you believe in me and this collection that we&#8217;re collaborating on?<\/p>\n<p>RJ: Granddad, of course I believe in you. You think I&#8217;d be here if I didn&#8217;t absolutely believe in you? I love working with you. I think your designs, they&#8217;re gonna blow my dad out of the water.<\/p>\n<p>Eric: Our designs. Come here. Come here.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ridge: Ha.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Sorry for interrupting.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: You&#8217;re not interrupting. Not when you&#8217;re bringing all this into the office. Did you go over to Dad&#8217;s? Did you get to talk to Donna?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Your father was there and our son was there.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: RJ was there. Okay.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Mm-hmm. You know how we thought our son might be seeing a young lady because he was disappearing so much?<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: Yeah, was she there? Is she nice?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Well, no. It turns out it&#8217;s nothing like that.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: I&#8217;m lost. I don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Well, you&#8217;re actually gonna be really happy about this. RJ is designing.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: He&#8217;s designing?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: With your father.<\/p>\n<p>Ridge: That is amazing! That&#8217;s all I ever wanted. I&#8211; I knew it was gonna happen eventually, I just didn&#8217;t&#8211; how am I just hearing about this now?<\/p>\n<p>Brooke: Well, I&#8211; I just found out myself. I went over there and walked into the Forrester mansion and in the living room, it&#8217;s turned into a design studio and Eric was there and RJ and Donna and Eric&#8217;s working on his last collection. His grand finale and he seems really determined. He told me to tell you that you better step up your game. He&#8217;s coming after you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Eric: We&#8217;re gonna show Ridge and the rest of the world that I&#8217;ve still got it. You know, RJ, when&#8211; when&#8211; when your grandmother, Stephanie, and I started this company, we wanted to create a fashion business that would be a legacy for our kids and our grandkids, and we did that. We did that and then, one day, I would step aside, but you know what? I&#8217;m not ready yet. It&#8217;s time for Ridge and everybody else to realize that Eric Forrester can&#8217;t be put out to pasture. He cannot be replaced. Not yet. The best is yet to come.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/index.php\/2020\/05\/30\/bbtrans\/\">Back to the B&amp;B Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tvmegasite.net\/day\/transcripts.shtml\">Back to the Main Daytime Transcripts Page<\/a><\/p>\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- TVMEGBODY -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1056557952271337\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8801203268\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6117\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/bbanim.gif\" alt=\"B&amp;B cast animated GIF\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bold &amp; The Beautiful Transcript &nbsp; Transcript provided by and proofread by Suzanne [ Relaxing music ] Brooke: Eric, this is amazing that you two are working together and that you got my son interested in design, but I don&#8217;t understand the secrecy.
