Probably, but it\u2019s tough to think of it offhand! We\u2019re sure that\u2019s exactly what Eric has been wondering on The Bold and the Beautiful lately.<\/p>\n<p>In the face of his protests that he doesn\u2019t want to go anywhere and still has plenty to contribute to Forrester, Eric\u2019s beloved son threw his dad a surprise forced retirement party. It was condescending and, honestly, kind of cruel. \u201cSurprise! You\u2019re done here forever, dad!\u201d And then, to top it all off, <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/the-bold-and-the-beautiful\/recaps\/810403\/eric-leaves-forrester\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Monday\u2019s episode ended<\/a> with Eric sadly accepting Ridge\u2019s forced declaration, taking his staple and leaving.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-791405 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Eric-Ridge-BB-HW.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Ridge B&amp;B\" width=\"1024\" height=\"598\"  \/><\/p>\n<p>All in all, it was enough to tick\u00a0us off, so we can\u2019t even imagine how Eric resisted the urge to smack some respect into Ridge with that stapler. But other than angering us, we\u2019ve been struggling to figure out where this is all heading\u2026 Unless it\u2019s going to end in Eric starting over with a new fashion house to put his ungrateful family in their place once and for all!<\/p>\n<p>We have been waiting for years for a new fashion house to give Forrester Creations a run for its money and reignite the rivalries of old. Spectra, Jackie M \u2014 it\u2019s been years since Forrester had to compete with anyone or anything.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been hoping Bill might take up the mantle to stick it to the Dressmaker, but no. We thought maybe Hope would just give up the drama of trying to make Hope for the Future float and try going her own way, but nada.<\/p>\n<p>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/soaps.sheknows.com\/the-bold-and-the-beautiful\/news\/810397\/eric-defended-by-daphne-fan-reaction\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Only [Spoiler] really had Eric\u2019s back<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Instead, everyone at Forrester just coasts along, fighting amongst themselves over whose corner of the company gets the attention and the funding.
