He assumed that Ridge was going to make everything right, as he initially told Brooke in Italy. Eric\u2019s warning left Ridge in a bind, as he promised his son, Thomas, that he would keep their family together.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Eric Confronts Ridge About His Choice<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Eric (John McCook) found out that Thomas (Matthew Aktinson) <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/thomas-returns-b-b-family-131200435.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:returned with a family update;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">returned with a family update<\/a>. He asked how his grandson has been doing lately. Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) shared that Thomas hasn\u2019t been well. He lost his fianc\u00e9e and his job at Forrester Creations. Now, he\u2019s at a crossroads in his life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Ridge is worried about Thomas. He assured his son that he would keep their family together, no matter what. This didn\u2019t sit well with Eric, who reminded Ridge that he is a grown man who has a son. Ridge reminded his father of the same and said he could make his own decisions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">But Eric thought Ridge was making all the wrong decisions by staying with Taylor (Rebecca Budig). Once again, he reminded his son that Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) was his \u201cdestiny.\u201d Eric demanded that Ridge break up with Taylor or else. Yet, Thomas was the bad guy for wanting his parents to stay together.

Thomas could be headed for another dark downward spiral. Ridge wants to keep his family together for the sake of his son\u2019s mental health, even though he doesn\u2019t love Taylor as much as he loves Brooke.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Now, he has found himself in a tough position. Ridge isn\u2019t sure if he should stay with Taylor or be with Brooke. Other people are inserting themselves into this situation, which is making things more complicated. What will happen if Ridge and Taylor break off their engagement? Will Thomas be headed down a dark path? <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/tv\/articles\/far-thomas-keep-brooke-ridge-180819117.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:How far will Thomas go to keep Brooke and Ridge apart on B&amp;B?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">How far will Thomas go to keep Brooke and Ridge apart on B&amp;B? <\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><em>This story was originally reported on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/soaphub.com\/the-bold-and-the-beautiful\/commentary-bold-beautiful\/rinse-september-4-erics-warning-puts-ridge-in-a-bind\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Soap Hub;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Soap Hub<\/a> on September 4, 2025.
