Thumbs up! BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL Front Man
It has been truly satisfying to watch B&B’s Eric reclaim his due at Forrester Creations, vociferously rejecting Ridge’s recommendation that he rest on his laurels and retire. Refusing to be “placed on a shelf”, Eric is resolute in his desire to create one final line — and his beloved portrayer, John McCook (Eric), has seized his return to the storyline spotlight with vigor. While it is no surprise to us that he is stealing every scene he’s in as this story unfolds, it’s still a joy to see him delving into such rich material. Ageism is a topic rarely explored on soaps, and here, B&B is addressing it with a light hand that is keeping the emphasis on where it is most relatable: the family dynamics at play in FC’s latest fashion face-off, and the selfrespect that is driving Eric’s determination to prove Ridge wrong. (When Eric ominously told Brooke to warn Ridge, “I’m coming for him,” we got goosebumps.) This story has lit a long-dormant fire in Eric, and we’re loving every minute of the show playing him as a man overflowing with desire and ambition.
